    After years raising cats, I chose a difficult one

    If I understand what you said, when you had young ones before you had 2 or 3 at the time. When you have more than one they run a lot of the energy off with each other rather than with you or your furniture. Together they learn not to bite. Our current one, was a 5 week old rescue, she was a...

This information is for you to do as you will, but I felt it only right that the possibility of a problem with...

    Cat is meowing after eating and seems like she's in pain

    At my wit's end

    Have you discussed this with your vet with the question of whether or not Gracie has a neurological problem? Do you have video of her face when she goes into stalk mode?

    15 week kitten and 6yr old cat…confused!

    Even if George manages to smack Larry so that Larry rolls across the room to a wall, it's not a bad thing. It's more of the same except Larry didn't have his feet planted right and tipped over.
