Our third cat, ʻUlu, is our most vocal cat. He wails wherever he goes like he's announcing his arrival and it's always fun to try to figure out what he wants when he comes up to you and taps you and wails. (Usually it's food or pets.) He is also very chatty with our other two cats, who aren't...

We've been scratching our heads about this since we started letting ʻUlu out of his bedroom. He'll wander around making whining "ooo-OOOO, oo-OOOO" sounds, like a cross between a guinea pig and a monkey. He seems to make it pretty much any time he is on the move, whether it is exploring or...

So I made a sifting litterbox out of two 32 quart Sterilite containers after watching a YouTube tutorial. It's so much cheaper than buying a commercial sifting litterbox and best of all, all three cats love it! ...in fact, they love it so much that there isn't enough space to hold all of the...

Hi! Hoping to get some insight into this specific cat introduction. I've read and re-read the articles but I'm kind of paralyzed on next steps. Cast of characters (all are spayed/neutered): Marple: ~5yo DSH female torby. Cares mostly about food, very patient and tolerant. Will hiss if she...

Marple and Radish have a new baby brother...7 month old ʻUlu, who was reportedly trapped downtown maybe two weeks before I fell in love and adopted him. ʻUlu is super shy and really loves to hide. Like will do nothing but hide all day in one of the several forts we constructed for him in his...

Hi all--my husband and I, finding ourselves with much more space after a recent move and with both Marple (~5 yo female shorthaired torby) and Radish (1.5 yo male medium haired brown tabby) settled in, have decided to add a third cat to the mix. We found a sweet but shy 7 month old orange boy at...

My husband and I are moving to a place about 30 minutes away (when the traffic is good). I am strangely worried about how Marple (neutered female DSH torby, ~5 years old) will adjust to the new digs, particularly because this will be our new long term home. Marple is very shy in new situations...

I could use some thoughts. We brought Radish (13 month old male) in to the emergency vet tonight because of a sudden urinary issue. We left him there to get cleared out and the vet who performed the procedure just got back to me. He had crystals and will need to be on a urinary care diet from...

Radish is my almost one year old Humane Society special! Although I secretly harbored hopes that he would end up being as large as a Maine Coon, all signs point to him being ultimately nowhere near a Maine Coon in size--he was 8 lbs, 3.5 ozs at his visit to the vet at ten months old, and he has...

Radish is a licker, and the only wet food texture he doesn't fling around with every "bite" seems to be airy, mousse-like textures. Discovered this by accident when bringing a treat of Trader Joe's turkey & giblet cat food, which does not advertise a mousse texture, but is much airier than the...

I am a first time cat owner and my little big boy, Radish, is about 8 months old now. I did a lot of research before I got him (which is how I found this community!) but I never could find a definitive answer on when I could expect him to start losing his super soft kitten fur and growing in his...

Hi! I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to jump in (Also, thanks to Mani and the other mods for helping me with my account issues!). I am a first-time cat owner of an 8 month old boy named Radish. I've had him since he was 2 months old and although I miss when he was tiny, I still...
