I just wanted to pop in and thank everyone who gave me advice on here! A few months ago I was posting a lot about my two boys who I was worried would never get along. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but with some patience we finally integrated our new boy Oscar into the fold. And they are...

Hi, yes! He has a clean bill of health as of 3 months ago and he doesn't go outside. I'm taking him into the vet on Monday just to be sure but I dont think its bugs!

Not sure his exact weight at the time, but the vet said he was at a healthy weight, at the higher end of a healthy weight but healthy. He was literally all fluff, bigger than my resident cat but certainly not fat. He has round the clock access to dry, and I feed him wet at meal times. I'm...

Hi everyone! I adopted a cat, 3 months ago or so? He was so, so fluffy when I got him but that was back in Spring and now that summer is around, I wasn't surprised he was losing some fluff. But, he's probably 50% less fluffy now. I brush him everyday as the rescue claimed he had issues with...

If they were a bonded pair I'd be more inclined to let them work it out, but they're only newly introduced. Isn't there a greater risk of violence here?

I did read the article before posting, and it is play... until it's not lol sometimes it will escalate to a full fight that I have to intervene. Would a Pet Corrector work for hissing or should I do it myself?

I think it's incredibly irresponsible for vets to jump on inconclusive research. Grain Free food is under scrutiny right now from the FDA and if their findings come back saying YES there is a causation between GF foods and DCM, then by all means they should educate their patients, but until then...

So, I have two boys! George and Oscar, 5 and 3.5 respectively. They are both very rambunctious boys who have a lot of energy and love to play. George is definitely more energetic though, almost never ending energy lol They met 2 or 2.5 months ago, we had a bit of a rough introduction but things...

We've brought it up to the vet before and they never seemed to be bothered by it. George is just kind of a weird guy lol. He's been doing it since he was a kitten, do you really think it might be nutritional? We do feed him very high quality foods as we work in the pet industry. Maybe, I could...

Hello everyone! I've been posting lots about my introduction issues with my two boys George and Oscar. They were having a silent argument but that seems to have passed now. They've started playing and interacting again but now I have a new problem. George is pulling out Oscar's hair. George has...

Most people reccomend feliway. I've never personally used it but it's usually people's go to pheromone diffuser.

Ooops! Maybe you did and I missed it! Thank you!

Do you have a Bosley's, Tisols, Total Pet, or Pet Valu near you? They carry a private label treat called Lovibles, it was designed to be a direct competitor with Temptations so it has a very similar texture but better ingredients.

Do you have a room where you can keep a litter box and have the door shut? If yes, you could install a cat door with a magnetic key to get in and put a collar with said key on Helo so only he can enter. That way he has a pooping room all to himself. Would probably work well with a bathroom or a...

Picture taken before George decided he didn't like Oscar lol Thank you to everyone who has been giving me words of encouragement and advice about my boys. I'm thinking based on George's behaviour that he might be jealous of Oscar. George has ALWAYS been number one before we got Oscar, and if I...

Interesting, so what do you do in the meantime? Seperate them until they chill out or just let it work itself out?

I guess I've always doubted the effectiveness of pheromones but I'm willing to try anything thanks! And thanks, they're like twins in energy levels and looks, I just wish they'd see eye to eye lol

We tried that for a bit, but because they had already had contact without the gate, it really just made them frustrated lol They would paw through the gate and then get really angry and start swatting.

Yes, I feed George treat after treat. And I give them a meal of wet food when they see each other in the morning. The problem is George is stressed. He is quite obviously unhappy with Oscar, he's restless and chaotic when Oscar is in the room. There's no blood, but George normally does have a...

I really appreciate that, it's been stressful and I'm a ball of anxiety over it lol but we'll get there. Just gotta stay positive.
