    How long is too long to leave a cat on its own?

    There are a lot of factors to answering this question, but I wanted to get a general consensus anyway. I will be taking a 4 to 6 week backpacking trip, and I plan on leaving my cat at my apartment on his own and to have a friend check in on him daily. My cat sees this person a few times a year...

    Intriguing behavior

    So I wonder... how can a cat simultaneously be acrimonious while I'm standing, and immediately affectionate and playful when I'm kneeling.... within seconds of each other.

    Intriguing behavior

    When he's backing away from me while I'm standing, he seems to want me to chase or follow him... or at worst he's acrimonious about it. Which has been increasingly happening lately (since he escaped from the harness).

    Intriguing behavior

    Hey everyone. So this is what mah boi Titan has been doing pretty much all his life but increasingly so when he's a little agitated: He likes it when I'm short, not tall...so I get on my knees to greet him as often as possible. When I do this, he head bumps me in my kneeled position several...

    Agro cat hates my feet

    Even prior to the escapes, Titan was a particularly fussy feral orange tabby. Back then, he would only cuddle with me on my bed and no where else. Since the escapes, he lays under my bed instead of on it alongside me. It's extremely frustrating. I can sometimes pick him up and hold him down next...

    Agro cat hates my feet

    Titan is 4 and I've had him for 3 years. I had him in a harness to go on walks about 2 months ago, and he escaped into the woods twice. He is extremely aggressive now, and my feet and voice in particular trigger him in my two bedroom apartment. In fact...all of me triggers him in general. He's...

    I Love My Cat, But I Miss My Personal Space

    Funny... the opposite happens with my cat. He's an orange tabby and he keeps his distance and is very selective about when and where he interacts with me. We should trade cats. I want more affection and you want less.

    Such thing as good quality and bad quality catnip?

    Hey everyone, I use Catnip Garden by Multipet and all my cat seems to do is eat it. He doesn't get energized by it at all, but he has with other brands of catnip in the past. My cat is 4 years old. I'm wondering if it's him or if it's the quality of the catnip. Has anyone noticed...

    Stay-away Zones!

    Quickie question about cat no-no zones (my workbench). Any thoughts on how to train a cat to stay away from certain areas/furniture in an average size apartment? It's not that my cat is or isn't trained, but I live alone so I cannot reinforce no-no zones while I am away from my apartment, and...

    Aggressive Cat Behavior Towards Me...possibly Heat-related

    I find it disappointing that my voice could trigger such aggression. Is this common at all?

    Aggressive Cat Behavior Towards Me...possibly Heat-related

    Hello everyone. I am a new cat owner of approximately one month. I adopted Titan from the local SPCA at one year old, and he is neutered. Lately he has been acting aggressively towards me. I understand it is "common" for a cat to bite suddenly during a petting session, but he actually rarely...

    Can Change In Food Trigger Cat Hostility?

    I've had my 1 year old cat for about three weeks and have been giving it the same dry cat food the SPCA was giving it before I got him. I found a sweet deal on cat food at a local pet store and I'm beginning to transition him to the new food by going 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and eventually full change...
