Hi everybody, Thanks for all the advice. I've put icecubes in their water and I took another friend's suggestion of freezing the little bottles you put in ice chests and coolers (what's the general term for those things that you can freeze and refreeze?) and put them in a towel. Pumpkin looked...

Hi everyone, I have two long-haired fluffy kitties and the current heatwave is murder on me, so I know they are uncomfortable. I have no AC unfortunately but I'm keeping their water bowls full and clean. I'm also trying to keep my apartment as cool as I can and just let them find cool spots to...

Hi everybody! It's been a while since I've visited. I'm so thankful to have such a place to come to with questions (with friendly people too!). I've searched a bit but can't seem to find the answer to my question anywhere. What does it mean when a cat rolls on its back? Is this a position that...

Hi Joe, I had a similar problem which I posted a bit ago on this forum and believe me, it does take time to introduce cats to each other. My cats are just now starting to tolerate the presence of the other and this is after a couple months. (I'm very pleased, btw, that they actually came...

Congratulations Sandie! I'm too late to see the webcam but I look forward to seeing all the pics! Best wishes to the parents (and grandparents!) Wendy

Hi Donna, You are absolutely right! Stray cats can make wonderful lap cats. The kitten idea was just for getting along with my second cat. When Pumpkin chose me (and she did), she jumped up on a bannister of my friend's porch, put her front paws on my chest and smelled my face. I knew right...

I think all cats have that burst of energy. When I see my cats do it, I call it "oh my gosh, I left the iron on" syndrome because they quickly run out of the room as if they've forgotten something. But the biting is something new to me. I agree with everybody that you might want to get that...

I'm also in Connecticut although I'm originally from Atlanta (and still call that home). I'm =still= not used to all the snow!!! I've got two cats (Boo and Pumpkin) and I'm a grad student at the University of Connecticut. Bye! Wendy

Hi everybody! I'm enjoying everybody's stories so much! I want to introduce my cats. (I've been posting under the behavior forum because I'm trying to get these two kitties to get along). Boo: 4 year old black and white, long haired female. She always has a startled look to her face and she's...

Hi 3d archer, Sandie and Anne! I hope everybody had a nice New Year's! As for your question, 3d archer, I feel like my old cat would have gotten along wonderfully with a kitten. When I brought the new cat in, Boo was curious and did not seem freaked out at all. Once Pumpkin starting...

It didn't appear that those links worked so I've slapped up a quick page: http://members.fortunecity.com/wndrkn/kitties.html I hope maybe pasting the address in your browser will work. Oh well. Thanks! Wendy

I really just came in here to look for help but now that I've found all of you, I might just stick around!! Here are some pictures of my two cats who are figuring out how to live with one another: http://members.fortunecity.com/wndrkn/pumpkin.jpg http://members.fortunecity.com/wndrkn/boo.jpg...

Thanks Anne and Sandie! I'm feeling much better now about the way things are going. To answer your question, Anne, I got Pumpkin in mid-October so it's been two months. However, I really didn't see a change in their relationship until Pumpkin got spayed which was only a couple weeks ago. I'm...

Hello everybody! I'm new to this forum so I'm very pleased to be here. I need help and I've checked out the archives to see if this information has been answered. So far nothing so please forgive me if I rehash already covered territory. I'm also sorry that this is a long story. I've been...
