    two cats, only one aggressive

    we've had Pretty Boy, a sweet mellow older guy, for two years now. Around 6? months or so ago we took in Tikka, who's a very energetic and flighty younger girl. They took a long, long, long time making any progress on getting along. We've been keeping them in separate rooms this whole time...

    My cat Patch (female, about 12 years old) has had digestive issues for a long time. Dry food of any sort makes her throw up, and she never finishes her wet food, and still often throws it up about once a week or more. I took her to a vet on the advice of my roommates.

    Affection Bites To Other Cats

    My cat Patch is around 12 years old, and she's never really had any friends. She's a real sweetheart! But she has scars from when she was a stray, would frequently get into fights with her mom, and when we took her in she'd get chased around by our other cats. She hasn't got a mean bone in her...
