    Toning Down A Cat's Affection? (he Bites)

    This character is Oliver, or Ollie for short. Hes probably about 14 or 15 months old now. I have had him since Novemberish and he is the most affectionate cat I have ever had. He loves pets, cuddles, and rubbing his face against yours. The last part is the issue though. He loves to jump on me...

    Advice On Keeping Kitty Away From Laptop

    I've thought about putting him in the bathroom or the bedroom, but it would effectively cut off the apartment for the other cat as well due to how this is set up. My work desk is about 5 feet away from a window and I have a kitty stand next to it that he loves to sleep in/look out the window...

    Advice On Keeping Kitty Away From Laptop

    Hi guys. I'm on at my wits end. I adopted a second, younger kitty recently and I love him to bits except for one behavior. I'm desperately trying to finish grad school which means I need to write a 40 page exit paper before the end of the month. The kitty is very affectionate and long story...

    Loaded Question About Introducing A Second Cat..

    Really, I think I know the answers will be all over the spectrum, but would like to hear about the experiences of the forum. Last week at this time, I lived alone in my apartment with my 2 adult cats, Scottie and Zelda. I had Scottie for almost a year. In that time, he lived with my then gf's...

    Cat Intro - Two Adult Cats

    I was going to suggest diffusers as well. When I introduced Zelda to Scottie, it seemed like it took a week before it kicked in. After that initial week, Zelda went from scared/hostile to accepting. After two months they didnt need the diffuswr anymore. I should mention that every cat is...

    Good Bye Scottie B

    My other kitty, Zelda, did not get to see him off, but has been much more affectionate with me than usual since I came back from the vet. It might be a combination of me being home from work from the fact I am running a fever. This morning, I saw her sniffing in Scotties favorite bed and taking...

    Good Bye Scottie B

    Scottie, I dont remember why I went to the Humane Society almost a year ago to the day, but I am glad I did. From the moment you picked me by sitting on my lap and putting your nose to mine, to earlier this week when you let me know it was time to go by peeing on me, you have been a good kitty...

    Advice On Course Of Action

    An update in Scottie B. It def feels like he has taken a turn for the worst. His belly is swollen again and while he drinks water, he has lost almost all interest in food. I gave him his appetite stimulate today after work (which he hates) and he has still shown no interest in food. He did eat...

    Advice On Course Of Action

    So the meds worked for a bit. Scotties belly shrunk a little bit ans his appetite and increase. I went out of town for a day and came back to a cat that is asking for food and when I give it to him, he walks away. This is with him on appetite stimulates. I will watch how he reacts the next few...

    Advice On Course Of Action

    The vet gave me some meds to boost his appetite and hopefully drain some of his fluids. I simply won't have enough money to spend the extra on testing plus treatment. That would be more than 1k at the very least. Its tough. If it was something I knew for sure would be treatable and within a...
