    Cats won’t eat wet food

    Hi there all.. I am frustrated that both of my cats are now refusing to eat any wet food… tried about 15 brands. Penny.. my 6 year old, will only eat crunchies. She used to pick at the wet but no more. Sniff and walk away. Bean, my big almost 2 year old , used to eat wet all the time but now...

    2 Cat relationship - Can they EVER be friends?

    Ah the screen door.. what a PIA it was, but there are days I miss it greatly and wish we still had it to keep the peace. It gave Bean a 3 room "apartment" (with me in my office) and Penny the rest of the house (with my husband working in the kitchen). While going through an extra door to move...

    2 Cat relationship - Can they EVER be friends?

    Wow, It does sound so much like my two. We have had them for over a year now, and it is definitely getting better, but I don't see them being lovey/cuddling any time soon. Unfortunately for us, they are both very active and mobile. We are currently trying to figure a way for her to feed at...

    2 Cat relationship - Can they EVER be friends?

    Hello all!!!! Like many others, I have been pouring over the site since we adopted our two cats (Penny 9/20 and Bean 11/20). Penny is an 8 year old female calico and Bean is a 1.5 year old male tuxedo. It took us a good 5 months having a screen door installed dead in the middle of our house...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    Thank you for this update! I am waiting for the door to come, but of course my girl is skittish, and I was already fearing how to get her to shove her head in the box. My bully will be headbutting the door night and day, and I pray his chip doesn't get programmed. We have had a long haul of...

    Feeding for Two Conundrum

    This is honestly just GENIUS and I just ordered a microchip cat door to build one of these for my situation. Praying it works because I cannot keep the cats separate at night! Thank you SO much for your brilliant idea. Will let you know how it goes!

    Cat Feeder to stop one cat eating all the food!

    Hi all. Not sure if this belongs in Nutrition or Behavior, but I thought I would try here. I have two cats and both are completely different eaters. The youngster is a complete pig and will eat everything you put in front of him in one sitting. My delicate girl likes to graze. During the day...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    Hi everyone who reads... just wanted to post an "After The Rose" for the cat intro.... We spent a good 3 months on getting the cats together. We started with Penny, the resident, growling, hissing, screaming, attacking and generally miserable. Bean, the 11 month old kitten, was stuck in a...

    Kitten Introduction to a Sassy Adult Cat - Help!

    I'm sorry you are going through this, and I feel your pain. We are two months into adding a 10 month old to our 7 year old. We adopted 2 months apart but our first, a girl, just isn't too receptive to adding the new guy despite only being her 2 months herself. The kitten, a boy, wants to play...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    Not a great day today. Tons of lunging, screetching and hissing at the door. He ran at the door a few times... butt wiggle, and then lunge. I still think he is playing but she is out for the kill. Cracked the door to get out and she attacked the area and the death shriek was abysmal. Bean...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    This morning Penny has been a bit more agitated than she had been. Still eating little bits I leave by the door, but when moving her food bowl closer, she glared at Bean and walked away. He has started to try to use the screen as his stretching/scratching post, and of course she goes...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    Similar story today... Penny seems to want to attack, but only when he moves. She is content when he is still. He is still well behaved with her, and will plop right down as soon as she hisses or whacks the screen. Both eating close to the screen, so they seem comfortable in that. Looking...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    Consistent today, probably even less concern, as Penny is fixated on watching Bean, but usually just watches for a while and walks away. The only hisses come when he darts either at the door or by the door. I put some food on the floor right outside when he was eating and she ate that, which...

    Trouble introducing new cat

    Both cats have large scratching posts they use. Same post, different rooms. Body language.... I am able to easily distract Penny when she is at the door. I can snap or call her and she will turn around and walk away. She will not eat her food close (about 5 feet away), but ate her treats...
