Tail poofing can sometimes just be goofiness (esp if they are being really hyper) or posturing. The main thing you want to watch for are the position of the ears and whiskers. If they are flat back against the head, that's usually a sign that things are starting to get out of hand. When cats are...

Your cats sound a lot like how mine were when I first introduced them--after a couple of weeks separate and swapping rooms, they were both comfortable enough in the environment to want to be together sometimes, but hadn't quite figured out the new dynamic. Here are a few things that worked for...

Does your vet have one common waiting room for all the animals (dogs included) that come through the office? My grandma's cat was also a nightmare at the vet and also had to be sedated (not fully out, just tranqued) until the vet opened up a separate waiting room for cat patients. Apparently...

So I've got a six-month old fixed Siamese male and recently decided to add another cat to the household to keep him company. The new cat is a two-year old rescue, also male, also fixed, super friendly and laid back, very good with other cats and relatively playful. The Siamese is a typical...
