Thanks so much! I checked them out and am going to try a new scratcher and a pheromone spray

Yes, several different kinds and materials - cardboard, sisal, cat tree etc

We considered that. He's currently getting over ringworm and we're waiting for that to clear up so we can start trying to get him used to wearing the harness.

That was my first thought but my partner isn't too keen on the idea. Still trying to work on it lol. We got GM from a rescue and he ended up having ear mites, upper respiratory issues, ringworm - he's still getting over ringworm - so he's not excited about the possibility of going through that...

I've had my cat for about 4 months and lately he's been acting different. He's been clawing and sometimes biting at the sofa in a slightly aggressive playful way. And now all of a sudden he's doing it to our mattress in the middle of the night and going after our feet. Today he also clawed at my...

So nice of you to say! We agree but think we're pretty biased ;)

I did do a little research of catteries in Kuwait and found their bsh cats are more on the slim side and look alot like GM; so I am pretty sure that is most likely his breed. Thanks for your input! :)

Thanks! Charlie looks very handsome too :)

Yes I agree that he doesn't look at all like an Abyssinian and tbh I did not know what an aby looked like when the rescue first mentioned having one and kept telling me he would "lose his chubby cheeks soon". When I later googled Abyssinian I thought def not lol. But my vet actually mentioned...

I rescued GM a month and a half ago from a local rescue that saves cats from the Middle East. His international papers labeled him as a British shorthair but the local rescue disagreed and thought Abyssinian because of his coat/color. He has the chubby cheeks, short/thick neck, smirk etc of a...

It seemed like he was just because he was very distracted by the feeder (not wanting to play w his toys etc), charging at the window and seeming annoyed afterward and really amped up at the end of the day - which was odd for him. He's been lazy since the day we got him lol But we're also new to...

Yes! We actually removed that one and now he just enjoys the ones farther away without charging at the window all the time and getting annoyed when he doesn't catch anything. Simple solution thanks for your input!

We did end up removing the window bird feeder and noticed an immediate improvement in his behavior. No more obsessive behavior. He still enjoys lounging at the window and watching the feeder/bird house that's a little farther away but he's not constantly focused on what's going on out there.

Yes I'm sure I'm overthinking it as watching out the window seems to be a favorite pastime for most cats. I'm new to "normal" cat behaviors and am always trying to figure out his body language. Definitely noticed a shift in his behavior with the window feeder addition but as long as he's having...

Hello everyone! New cat mom to a 1.5 yr old BSH mix. We rescued him 4 wks ago today and are still getting acquainted and learning his behaviors. He loves to sit at the window and watch the birds so we bought one of those suction cup bird feeders that attach right onto the window so he could have...
