Yeah Nina feels about the same weight wise as Sylvie did when I adopted her (though she’s deceiving because her fur makes her look bigger haha) so I think 1-2 pounds will be good for her. Luckily (?) I guess haha I have experience with cats and dogs with giardia so I feel pretty confident she...

I don’t think it’s as obvious in the pictures but she’s noticeably underweight when you pet her. I’d be more surprised if the vet tells me she doesn’t need to gain a pound or two because you can really feel all of her bones quite prominently. Also she has a cat tree! She has pretty much...

Funny story, much like Nina made a jail break the other day today Sylvie decided to storm the castle! When I was coming out of Nina’s room Sylvie darted right in, she was hissing and growling but Nina was actually more occupied with eating than paying Sylvie any mind so I let her sniff around a...

Oh Nina LOVES the laser toy, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat fly around the room the way she does when I bust out the laser. Those and anything with feathers on a string seem to be her absolute favorite! I’m definitely finding a good balance of when she wants to play with me vs when she wants...

i am happy to say I’m having a much better night tonight and I feel like me and NC are beginning to bond. I got a few toys on a stick to play with her with and she loves them AND it’s helped to burn off a lot of her energy so less crying. I also feel like she’s becoming a bit more comfortable...

Yes when I leave the room NC sits right up against the door and cries and scratches at the carpet. I actually went to the pet store on my lunch break and found a floor mat type scratcher (didn’t even know those existed haha) I’m going to put down in front of the door.

Yes I actually think NC is too skinny right now to get a properly fitting harness anyway. I kind of get the impression that NC really wants to meet Sylvie and is very curious but Sylvie is not interested. I might try the large dog crate in the living room setup and see how Sylvie responds to...

Yes I’m on the feeling better about everything end of the spectrum again, it’s supposed to rain nonstop all weekend here so it’s the perfect time to hang out in the apartment and give both kitties lots of love. here is miss Sylvie in her favorite place in the world, my lap :) and NC who is...

Yeah I know Sylvie is very in tune with my emotions so I’ve been trying to not be overwhelmingly stressed or anxious when I’m home with them but it’s easier said than done :( right now I’m really not comfortable with trying any type of interactions with them until NC can see a vet so I will not...

A few other things, I definitely think I underestimated/forgot how active a 2 year old cat can be! I think she has a lot of pent up energy and I’m getting a better idea of the types of toys she likes to play with and am going to stock up on some more to hopefully help her have some stimulation...

Good morning everyone. Just to touch on some of the questions/comments: NC came from a private cat rescue that rents a small space in a pet store chain in my state. She does have her vet records, is up to date in all vaccines etc, but the rescue also recommends you have any adopted cat checked...

I see. Unless I locked Sylvie in my room and let NC have access to the rest of the apartment while we’re in the introduction phase then I don’t think that’s going to be possible. And I really can’t imagine doing that to Sylvie.

I don’t think she is but I can’t say for certain and I’m not sure how I’d be able to tell? I’ve never seen her go in the litter box when I’m in the room, she does use it though because there’s always something for me to scoop out of it. I did just get home and am in NC’s room right now and I...

She smells like a dirty litter box, it isn’t insanely overwhelming or anything but the second you walk into your room you can smell it and it’s a bit unpleasant. I think it’s extra noticeable since she’s closed off in one room so when you go into the room you can smell it right away. I’ve never...

Ah it didn’t even occur to me that revolution would prevent ear mites, Sylvie is on it and the vet records for NC from the rescue say she was also treated with it. I’ll double check that they are the types that also treat mites but that actually has taken a HUGE amount of stress away. Based on...

Hi guys I’m hoping to get some advice for this situation. Just as a little backstory I grew up with 5 cats and have always lived in multi pet environments so I’m used to the different dynamics, however this is my first time going at it alone and I’m a little overwhelmed. I’ve been reading a lot...
