    Separating “bonded “ cats

    It sounds like he's chosen his person. Most of the cats I've met have a favorite person in the house but still like the rest. My Grandmothers first Siamese loved her and ran from everyone else. Sqeeker, my picture, had a similar personality. After 15yrs he still ran if you glanced at him too...

    Late Morning Dilemma

    Try flattening it on a paper plate to slower her down. Besides it being spread out, the plate slides on the floor so she'll have to follow it.

    Toys for destructive kitten

    I found things in the baby/toddler and dog sections for my Miss Monkey 30yrs go. She wasn't a chewer just destroyed all cat toys. Knocked something against the wall hard enough to break and dipped soft toys in the water to make them easier to tear apart. Like @susanm9006 said todays spring...

    9 Month Old Resident Kitten Stalking 8 Week Old New Kitten

    The more they are together the better it will get. Your older boy is getting very worked up at the anticipation of playing with the kitten. You want him to be a little bored by the kittens presence. It sounds like your teen already likes the baby and wants to play. An accidental injury is more...

    Cat not returned home after 6 days

    Did your phone autocorrect for desex? She should let the vet know about him being missing and what you all have been observing since he got home. Ask the vet if it is safe right now.

    Adaptation to new home

    It sounds like you're doing everything right. If you're able to, follow her same routine from before you moved. Don't make a fuss over her unless she's looking for it. The more normal you act the quicker she'll adjust. Do you have a self warming mat? I place it under a blanket so I don't have...

    Regressing?

    If Mom was holding her down and forcing the grooming I'd be concerned for baby. Mom is say "not this, but that". "I don't want you succling but I'll calm you this way" Since baby is sleeping after then she was comforted. It doesn't sound like either is hurt or scared so I wouldn't interfere...

    Wants to go out after spay

    It can take a while for the hormones to normalize after spay. Even though she can't go into heat her body is still telling her brain that it can. I seen several post about boys getting extra hormonal and very demanding to get out after neutering. I didn't know it also happened with girls and...

    I deffinitely need some advice...

    I just did a search on"cat shakes when happy" and was amazed at how common this is. Can you post a video? Without seeing, it's difficult to comment. Does his face look happy when it's happening? Is it possible he enjoys watching the kids play wild and that's why it also happens at that time?

    Question of the Day, Saturday, April 6

    I'm a big time list maker. I clip all the coupons from the 3 stores we use. It's faster to just click on all the coupons than go through and only clip the ones we use. Make up my menu. I usually plan out 2 weeks so I can get this weeks produce and non-perishibles for the future. I do my list in...

    Why does my cat meow so much lately?

    There is no uch thing! :catlove: He's just learning how to let you know what he wants. If he hasn't already, he will likely make different sounds for different things and people. Sometimes just responding helps. Most of my cats have learned "later" means it's not going to happen now. Sometimes...

    Cat attacks me

    It's common for a former stray/feral to be food focused. Can you leave dry out at all times or add an extra meal? Unless she has a health issue that requires limited/special diet don't worry about her gaining weight right now. High energy cats usually need more than the suggested servings to...

    10 month old wanting mums milk… (they don’t)

    I don't think you need to. She is setting limits with teen kittens. Saying "I decide when we interact" As long as no one seems scared most of the time and you have no cat fights let them be. They are working out grown up communication.

    At wits end... Cat coming out of litterbox with a wet bum

    It's possible the new food changed the texrure of his poop so he needs to position himself differently. It might not be enough of a change for you to distinguish. If it still happens when he just pees he might have some in his intestines to still cause that positioning. Sometimes the company...
