Wanted to post an update! We're starting to have some very limited success. His dental work is being delayed while we figure out why his liver levels are elevated and in the meantime I've started to work on getting him eating wet food. The first small success was his being ok with lackable...

I was able to get a few videos while my husband was getting their dinner ready tonight. This is them getting along fairly well- Koa (brown) is our new kitty and Bastian (black and white) is the one she doesn't quite tolerate yet. Sometimes this kind of interaction results in her crouching and...

It sounds like your family member either simply doesn't like Zack or just doesn't get cat interactions. I can see why you would think it wasn't positive when Zack hides with Baby chasing. The thing with cats is some have very different play/hunting styles and one of those play styles is to hide...

The long version of the video you posted is actually a perfect example of balance in their play. One invites, the other responds, they go back and forth. Yeah he got a little too excited at the end, she voiced her displeasure and ran off. So she clearly communicated she's not OK with playing...

It sounds like it's the protein that's the problem. Hydrolyzed protein is protein that has been broken down into amino acids which prevents any issues from allergies to the proteins. Sounds like this cat cannot have any whole proteins.

It took longer than we hoped but last night we finally had the opportunity to try having all the kitties out overnight. And it was a success! Woke up with all 4 kitties snuggled up to us in bed 🥰. After we woke up and started shifting around Koa and Bastian even both snuggled my husband (her by...

It's also important to remember (even though I DO believe yours fall under "friends") that with cat introductions that's not the ultimate goal. Peaceful coexistence is the goal. My new girl always chases my old girl never the other way around. She just wants to play but the older one isn't...

Yes this! 100% agree it's all about watching how he reacts. If he's not wanting to constantly hide or retreat to his safe room or trying to avoid her completely or looking scared if she approaches, all is well.

Those brightest parts would not happen if they were not friends. It's perfectly normal for one cat to be more interested in play than the other and ultimately unless they're cause each other physical harm, they need to work it out between each other. Baby needs to learn when ZACK says no to...

It sounds and looks to me like they're friends! The fact that they chase back and forth rather than only one doing the chasing tells us that they're playing and both interested. They still have a ton of energy at their ages so yeah playing for 2+ hours isn't outside of ordinary. If it were me...

Last night we had to reconfigure nighttime arrangements because Orion wasn't feeling well so he was the only kitty in our bedroom (he's feeling much better today though being monitored closely.) Usually Bastian is also with us with Splenda out in the house and Koa in the guest room. Since...

Sounds like overall it went well and I think you made the right call with ending their time together when he wasn't getting the hint. It sounds like he just wanted to play and she was done playing. Hopefully eventually he would get bored of trying but there's also always the chance it turns into...

Both great suggestions sadly things we've tried. He once seemed interested in some dinner dusted wet food but when I put some on his kibble to see of he likes the dinner dust he wouldn't touch the kibble 🙄 and we've tried a few brands of the churu and similar treats. You'd think we were trying...

He was acting mostly normal until today when he had some other symptoms so we had him seen right away but nothing major. His last blood work was a couple years ago but he'll be in the vet Tuesday to get that done and his teeth checked. None if it is relevant to him not eating wet food, though...

I suspect smashing it may be what it comes down to. He doesn't recognize wet food as food at all at this point. You'd think we were giving him medicine when we offer a lickable treat that's how not interested he is.

Yeah he's definitely a chewer! He crunch crunch crunches on his food and treats. We've tried giving him plain cooked meats before and zero interest. Won't even downside freeze dried anything either so I can't get freeze dried and soften it up with water. He's just the pickiest! I suspect he will...

He is meal fed (though gets longer time with his meals than the others because he eats a little, digests, goes back for more.) We've had a ton of different options for wet food anything from friskies to Tiki Cat etc different flavors different textures. He has acted like he's going to try the...

Wanted to see if there were any suggestions out there we haven't tried! We have a 13 year old kitty whi has only ever eaten kibble and almost exclusively crunchy treats. Doesn't like wet things and by that I mean even if he got saliva on some kibble he wouldn't touch it. We have found a couple...

You're doing just fine! Go as slow as they need but also understand hissing is totally normal when introducing new cats and the occasional fight isn't always a bad thing if they don't hurt each other and it helps them work out their boundaries. The important thing to look at after a fight is how...

Maybe she would enjoy one of those ball tracks? Those are popular with our kitties!
