I am fostering Lance aka LL and I am falling in love. I would actually like to try to keep him, but my cat Sophie is not super cat friendly. Today I moved him to a playpen in the middle of the studio. He was in the dressing room/ bathroom for a few days while we were dealing with some health...

I started fostering my first kitten a little under 2 days ago. I was told he is roughly 8 weeks old and was just trapped in a garage with his mama and siblings. He has had little to no human interaction so far. When the rescue called me, they said he had been very lonely without his mama and...

I’ve had Sophie for almost 2 years now and she is finally mellowing out! At first, she nipped and scratched a lot, often jumping at my hands when I tried to pet her. She also was not very affectionate and spent most of her time in the same room, but away from me. She still nips every now and...

Sophie grooms her bed all the time. She spends a few minutes thoroughly licking it. Is this normal behavior? I have a video of it, but cannot seem to be able to upload it. Is she trying to tell me she needs a buddy?

Sophie has a character on the best of days, but if I try to get near her with a nail clipper, she turns into an enraged tigress ready to disembowel me! I live alone so it’s not possible to have someone to help me. I tried to do the burrito thing once, but she fought so hard, it was almost...

I think Sophie gets really bad constipation from eating chicken. It has now happened every time she has eaten food or too many treats that have chicken in it. Is it possible? Is it considered a food intolerance? I mean, the solution is simple: remove chicken from her diet. The problem is she...

I have a real question here: does my cat not like me? She is not the affectionate kind. More independent than anything and most likely was not raised by her mama, so she plays rough and easily scratches and nips. She most often keeps herself to herself and even if she likes to be where I am and...

Sophie and I just moved to New York. It’s been a difficult and stressful process for both of us. I just brought her home from boarding (the last few days were just too chaotic). Since she did so well adjusting when I adopted her, i made the mistake to let her out freely. It started out well and...

I have been away for a couple of weeks and have had 2 people staying a couple of nights each to keep company to Sophie. I am really perplexed by her behavior though. She is not very affectionate with me (fact that I am very sad about, but I have learned to accept it) but it seems like she is a...

Due to several behavior issues, Sophie has been an indoor-outdoor cat for the last 5 months usually spending 5/6 hours a day out and more over the weekend when I am at home and can leave the door open for her to come in and out as she pleases. Anyway, long story short, I am moving to NYC, which...

I will be moving to NYC in the summer on the 28th floor of a high rise building. I have been told that it gets really hot in the winter as you can’t regulate the heater and that i’ll most likely want to have the windows open to circulate the air. The problem is as you can see they are huge...

I am puzzled by Sophie’s behavior. When I got her, she was so affectionate (though I later realized she was poorly from a spay scar infection). Once she felt better, she slowly became less and less affectionate with me and even started to bite/scratch. Now, she barely gives me the time of day...

I was wondering if we could start a thread of tips and ideas to help cat owners like me to give pills to their difficult cats. Here is what I discovered today: My cat Sophie has had some diarrhea issues over the last few days and I have been given the task to somehow give her that really...

I haven't posted here in a while. I adopted a young tuxedo lady cat called Sophie back in August, and I wanted to take some time to get to know her, and after the trauma that was dealing with Huxley's multiple health issues and then passing, I wanted to enjoy a healthy young kitty. Well, that...

My newly adopted cat Sophie is young (1 or possibly younger I think) and loves getting pets and attention. However, she tends to bite hard when she plays or when she is petted and will randomly "attack" me. When she does, she doesn't break the skin, but it hurts and she also sometimes uses her...

I adopted Sophie 10 days ago now. When she first arrived, she was the cuddliest, most loving and gentle thing. She adapted very well to her new home and was constantly on me. I quickly figured out that she wasn’t feeling well as she wasn’t eating and took her to the vet 3 days after she arrived...

I took Sophie to the vet yesterday as her spay scar was a bit infected and she was not eating or drinking. While listening to her heart, the vet said she could hear a Grade 1 heart murmur. She told me not to worry for now as with the infection and he stress, this could very well be nothing. I...

I adoped this little lady yesterday. She is super affectionate, a lap cat extraordinaire, funny, people friendly and just adorable! Her Shelter name is Sophie, which i think suits her, but my name is Anne-Sophie so sharing a name might be a bit weird! I am stuck between sticking with Sophie or...

I adopted Sophie here (her name may change) yesterday. She got spayed on August, 16th so it’s day 3 after surgery. I’ve never had to deal with a cat in that situation. Can you please tell me if that scar looks like it’s healing well? It’s quite bumpy (hard bumps) in some places around the scar...

After a long time getting ready, I finally adopted a new cat today. I spent a long time meeting with many kitties at the shelter, but he was the last one I met and we clicked instantly. He is currently getting over a URI and the shelter decided it was probably better for him to stay until he is...
