So our ginger tabby boy Thor is now all settled in our house and his funny / quirky personality is starting to shine. He is definitely not a lap cat but wants to be near people all the time. He loudly meows until he gets attention and petting when he wants it LOL These are the funny things he...

So some of you might know that I have posted about my boy, Thor and his hiding issues. Now that he has been with us for about 3 months he does never hide. But I finally earned his love and trust. Last night for the first time he has cuddled up to me in bed and slept with me YAYAYAYAYAY I woke...

So Thor has been with us for about 2 months now and he is settling in. I noticed that his claws seem long and he gets snagged on things. Like I have to help him unhook his paw from just about everything every time. So I guess it is time for claw clipping. I have watched my mom do it many times...

OK this pine litter sounds interesting … so how do you clean the litterbox? Do you scoop daily and replenish if necessary then dump it every so often? I have never used non-clumping stuff. So I am not sure how the scooping works with that.

Which litter is your favorite and why? Just looking for recommendstions.

Update: in these last few days I stopped expecting Thor to do what I think "normally" cats should do and started listening to him. Honestly, things are really great now and I realized the issue was with me and not him. (I guess it always is LOL) He is actually very good at communicating what he...

Yes, that was happening. I believe that is the problem now that he thinks he can only get a good rest hiding away. I am working on my little one. She loves him so much it is hard for her to keep boundaries LOL

Here he is sleeping like a baby...

Update: day 2 and Thor wanted to go under the bed again after his morning play session. So I whipped out the treats and got him out from under the bed. As he was getting ready to go back under I patted the bed and said "hop up Thor" and he did. Then we had a nice petting session where I even got...

OK so day 1 of open bedroom door and all Thor does is stay under the bed. He only comes out to eat and play a bit and use his litterbox. Otherwise he hangs out under the bed. This same cat weeks ago used to hang out on the sofas, on the chairs and hop up next to me on the computer table. What...

So I decided to block off his entry behind / under the sofa because it is a recliner and I am worried he will be caught on the mechanism that is under there. I hear him scramble and struggle when he squeezes himself in and out. I felt under there and feels some sharp edges. But I will leave the...

Here is Thor...our big ginger tabby boy

Ok just to clarify... he does not hide all day. He is out and about and active. He loves to play and actually his favorite play buddy is my youngest. They can play with chasing a bouncy ball or a string for up to an hour. He also stays close to us and sometimes comes over for a chin rub. It's...

So we had our new cat for over a month now. He seemed to settle in nice at first but then he regressed. I can set how he's a bit overwhelmed with all the noise and commotion as we are all 4 of us at home all the time now. The kids can get a bit too much and get in his face a lot. He seems to...

How about crystal litter? Have you looked into it yet? The whole idea is that the crystals soak up the urine and do not need to be removed until you dump the entire litterbox. You actually need to stir it every day to distribute the fluids evenly so it can soak it up properly. With your boys you...

I don't think it's the fleas since he had them when we got him and I think he had them for a while. But I think you might be onto something when you say that he now feels secure and knows his home well. Maybe some of his purring and kneading was related to being nervous and scared and insecure...

So I had cats growing up and I thought I was pretty well versed in cat matters. But I haven't had cats for quite a few years. About a month ago we adopted a cat. He came from a lady we met and he was very sweet and affectionate at first. He was purring and kneading with his paws, playing...
