Thank you! This was very helpful. I did check him all over and didn't found any other bald spots (although he has thick coat so it's possible to miss it but I brush him every other day and try to check very carefully). So far there's no redness or scabbing, it pretty much looks the same. I even...

So about a week ago I noticed my cat has a patch of hair missing from his nose. It's not a wound and doesn't seem to bother him at all but is this something I should be concerned about? My country is in a very strick lockdown so I can't go to my regular vet but I could go to the emergency one...

Thanks, as I said it is entirely possible I'm overreacting. I was expecting rough play but I guess I just wasn't prepare for the older cat be on the receiving end all the time. I might do a video later just to make sure. So I shouldn't separate them? And how long should I keep them together, I...

Thanks, I'll try to persist. I sometimes keep them together for a few hours but I noticed kitten keeps attacking more the longer they're together. At first it's easier to distract him with toys and he plays with me and other toys in the room and just walks around by himself but at some point he...

Thank you for replies! I will try the hiss but so far whenever I tried to make a loud noise when this is happening, I just manage to startle the older cat and that just puts a kitten in a better position to continue it's attack. The kitten barely reacts, but I'll try it. He does have a lot of...

I would really appreciate if anyone would share any advice they have as I really want this to work! I hope I don't have to re-home the kitten. So about a month ago I brought the kitten home and after about two weeks of room swapping and scent swapping I started to introduce him to my resident...

I've done it a few times before and the cat actually didn't look scared or aggressive towards the kitten, he just walked around and observed, didn't engage the kitten at all. I haven't done it since I tried the face to face meeting, so I'll do it later today and see if his behavior changed at all.

Also, from the a few VERY brief interactions they had, the kitten doesn't look scared at all, but the older cat acts pretty terrified of the kitten. Should I just let them play or try to distract the kitten so the cat could observe him in peace?

thank you! i'll keep at it. so far the older cat doesn't try to fight or play and just runs.

Around 13 weeks I think!

Hello, I'm currently introducing my one year old cat to a kitten and I have quite a few questions so I thought I would group them up together and if anyone has any advice, please share! So I'm taking the introduction VERY slow because my older cat is very fearful and shy and I'm very nervous for...

Hello! I was hoping for some advice as I've been really stressing out about this situation. I brought home a new kitten (around 8-10 weeks old) on Friday. We took him from shelter but he haven't really been with other cats much, he was found outside alone and then they kept him in a separate...

Thank you! I'm mainly just worried about stressing out my resident cat too much (he's already easily stressed) so I don't know if not being able to sleep in his usual place with us anymore would be distressful to him. We let him sleep with us from the first day. But I'm also unsure about leaving...

I'm sorry for such a random question, haha. I have a year old cat who sleeps with me in the same room every night. He usually sleeps on the closet (his favorite spot) but sometimes comes to the bed too. He's a very easily scared cat and I was worried about a new kitten but I finally took the...

He loves to play! He runs around a lot in the mornings or at night (just as we plan to go to bed, haha). He also has days when he can't be bothered to get down from the closet on which he sleeps but usually he really enjoys playing. I keep buying new toys to make play time more interesting...

Thank you all for the help! I thought about talking to a shelter about fostering (also a friend of my said she would be willing to take the new cat if it doesn't work out for me) but I feel like with my cat it might take a long time to figure out if it works? And if it doesn't, by the time we...

I do want another cat but not enough to compromise my cats happiness. I think maybe he'll be better living alone. Thank you :)

Hello! I was hoping for some advice :) I have a year old male Scottish Fold and recently I've been trying to decide on a second pet. Here's a thing - my cat is quite shy and easily spooked (We got him from a breeder so its probably just his personality, not some trauma). When we juat just got...

Thank you!! I've been reading about how to introduce cats smoothly even since I got the first cat, but only recently did it occur to me that my cat could become less affectionate and I couldn't figure out where and how to look for answers. This forum seems to have a lot of info :) So far I'm...

Hello, I know hope this question doesn't sound too bad. I'm aware it's selfish but I still hope for some advice! Please be nice, haha :)) I have a year old male cat and recently I've been thinking about getting another one and I'm worried my 'old' cat won't pay me any attention anymore? I...
