    Advice to help with habitual marking cat

    This is Badger! Ghost and Badger do get along now which I thought would never happen. There is another cat that we keep separate right now and Badger is not allowed in the areas where the other cat is. There is a shared area they both will occupy at different times but his marking behavior...

    Advice to help with habitual marking cat

    My very first cat my wife and I adopted has had problems marking around the house for the last couple years. I know that sounds like a long time and is really disgusting but I feel like we have tried everything to try and deter him with little to no progress. We love him so much and are...

    Cats eating too fast

    I do feed them on a schedule but today I started separating Mooch by putting him in a separate room to eat. The other cats still are eating quickly but I’ve been given them smaller portions. Over time if I keep Mooch separate will they learn to eat slower? Thanks for some of the recommendations...

    Cats eating too fast

    I have three cats who are about 1.5 years old. They are all siblings and get along great. My problem is that one of them(aptly named Mooch) is absolutely obsessed with food and constantly tries to steal the other two’s food. We watch Mooch to make sure he isn’t stealing but his past behavior...

    Flea Treatment Help

    Haven't had fleas for over a year in my house but the fleas got absolutely out of control about a month ago and I'm playing catchup. Because I wasn't seeing any fleas I made a big mistake and got really lax with my cats' flea treatments. I had them on Frontline Plus before I skipped a few...

    Good Harness/Leash Choice?

    I have a Velcro harness for two of my cats and my one cat has certainly tried several times to slip out of his harness. I have two absolute rules when walking him. #1 never let his leash get in front on him. If the leash is always behind him he can't back up and use the tension to slip out. #2...

    Recommendations for water fountain?

    I have a Petsafe Drinkwell Platinum for my cats and its has been running perfectly fine for over three years now. It's pretty big but my cats would empty the smaller fountain I had before.

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    Wanted to give a final update as of now on Spock. His cone is off and he is healthy and loving his new home. His owner renamed him Sulley from the movie Monsters Inc. Introductions with the other cats went smoothly. The three cats like to run around together and there have been no behavior...

    Unknown location of feral mom and kittens

    I have set up a trail camera so I know she goes to and from the couch area in my neighbor’s yard. She is definitely smaller than she looked a few weeks ago so I’m pretty sure she did give birth. I am working with TNR group and they are giving me suggestions and even offered to come out if they...

    Unknown location of feral mom and kittens

    I have a humane trap but I’ve been trying to get her to go inside for a few months and she refuses to go inside. I’ve even only put food inside the cage and she would rather leave hungry than go inside. I think using kittens as bait is going to be the only way I can secure her. I basically want...

    Unknown location of feral mom and kittens

    So I was able to follow the cat after it left the bowl two days in a row and I now know it goes behind an old couch that is in a neighbor’s yard. I got permission from neighbor to go into their yard so that is a relief. My next question is how can I determine she actually has kittens there...

    Unknown location of feral mom and kittens

    I’m hopefully getting a trail cam tomorrow so I can determine where she is living. I’ve been able to narrow down a general area she is probably at by watching where she goes after she eats on my porch. I’ve contacted the local rescue that I do TNR with so once I find the actual location I will...

    Unknown location of feral mom and kittens

    I do TNR in my neighborhood and I’ve been trying to trap this one particular cat for several months. It refuses to go in my trap no matter what I do. I noticed its stomach looked pretty large and was concerned it was pregnant. Just tonight it came up to eat and it looked way skinnier and it’s...

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    Just checking back in with what's going on with Spock. He went to his new home a few days ago. His parent is very thankful for him and loves him so much. They fell in love with him the moment they came over to our house to meet him. Yesterday they did notice something that looked like a scab on...

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    That’s good advice. I’m now home for the weekend so me or my wife will be spending a good amount of time with Spock while the other reassures our resident cats that everything is normal. He has been drinking and eating a little bit as well as using the litter box consistently. He does like to...

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    I got Spock inside tonight and he’s settling into his room. The room is normally used by several of my resident cats so I am changing my strategy and I am going to spend lots of time with my residents cats while watching a camera that I set up in Spock’s room. Spock is very laid back and has let...

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    Thanks for the replies! I've notified my neighbors that I will be bringing him inside sometime this week. I have set up a bedroom away from the rest of my cats for Spock to be in. I plan to spend most of my time in with him the rest of this week so he can adjust to life inside. My friend is very...

    Whether to bring in neighborhood stray cat

    Backstory: About six months ago a cat I had assumed was feral started to suddenly show affection for me and my neighbors. I call him Spock because he has big ears. At night when I put food out he will appear and meow, rub against me, let me pet him and jump up on my lap. My neighbors have two...

    Resident Cat rejecting new cats and attacking me!

    It's been awhile since I updated Ghost's progress. We decided to permanently keep him as the downstairs cat when we are away or at night and let him go upstairs when he wants to. I'm still having some challenges introducing Ghost to the three younger cats I brought in about six months ago. The...

    Resident Cat rejecting new cats and attacking me!

    Ghost is nearly back to normal! He has been so happy recently and hasn't been aggressive towards my wife or I at all. He now will sometimes go upstairs on his own and explore. I have swapped the blankets from the new cats room with Ghost's blankets on his cat bed. He hissed the first time he...
