I'm so sorry for your loss. But I'd like to think these are normal feelings and actions. I think I was looking at kittens about 6 hours after my best boy passed away. It was 5 days before my birthday, 13 days shy of our 11 year "got ya" day. And it was so unexpected. In hindsight I should have...
Howdy! Just from my personal perspective, I think you are doing just fine. The whole thing can take months and it 1000% up to the cats to make it work. You gotta go at both of their paces for the best results.
Are you feeding them on a schedule (small portions a few times a day) or are they...
It will mostly depend on them but I'd feel like a week is a good time frame to start back up. I'd probably suggest starting all the way over and moving at a pace Gandalf is okay with.
From what I've read, it could take anywhere from couple of weeks to two months for Guts to completely purge her...
I am not an expert (only 1 cat I fixed myself, the rest were all fixed ling before ingot them) but I think the spay and the cone are gonna slow things down quite a bit.
It might take a bit for her hormones to regulate and she might have a new or different smell after the operation. He might...
Well breed in cats is almost impossible to tell without official papers from a breeder or a dna test so Domestic Short Hair is about as good as your gonna get without those.
As far as coat pattern, my money is on brown tabby. That "M" on the forehead is super consistent in tabby's while the...
I had not thought about that but i will look into it. We are doing really well until eye contact. then things get a little spicy but I feel like the reactions are getting smaller. maybe some background sound will help
a little update: its been roughly 6 weeks since i moved Lilly into her own room. I had been moved her food closer and closer to the closed door with the others eating right outside over about 3 weeks and then we spent about a week eating at the door. After that i put up a screen and have been...
I've currently got 7 cats in a 1,387 sqft house with unfinished basement. While most times it feels like there is enough space for us all, it's has gotten a little cramped with my oldest held up in her own room for reintroductions. But before that there really wasn't a problem. The 6 young ones...
I am so sorry for your lose :(
Could you delve into what he is struggling with a little more and/or maybe some more details with what has happened?
Like If he was close with Toby & how long were they housemates? If they were best friends for years then Oliver could still be grieving over the...
The best advice I've got is to redo the introduction process and play it out as slowly as your cats need to. Could take awhile but it will probably be better then one cat getting bullied and/or developing behavioral issues.
I think it really depends on the type of cat lol. I've got 7 right now (my old lady and my new clowder of 6 [all under 2 years]) and whenever i've had people over (new and familiar) they have fallen under one of three categories: Hiders, Watchers & Pet-me-whores.
From a personality stand point...
haha. I think is started because one was chasing the other and that was the bet way to get away. Then it sort of became a game to see who i had to rescue the most in a single day. I know one of them ate through the Christmas lights I have wrapped around the column while i was at work one day...
So I just ran most of my (six 17~19 month old kittens, one 11 year old cat) through their annual Vet trips and one is now offically diagnosed as a Chunka-suarus (15.9 lbs). Not super bad but overweight enough that the doc said it be ideal if he lost a couple lbs by next years visit. I've mostly...
This is Charles Woodrow Wilson IV lovingly known as Pudge. I got him as a Birthday present in November 11th 2011. He passed away last October about 2 weeks before our 11th anniversary. Best friend I've had so far.
