Yes, separation is difficult in a one bedroom apartment, congratulations for doing so well, my black cat got out after three days. Don't be discouraged, things are going quite well. Cats are territorial, she's not confident and fearful about being in Salem's territory. He sounds like a sweetie...

Oops I forgot to mention calming products like feliway and perhaps a pair of relaxed denim jeans may help, he'll get a bite of denim rather than you. One member said she wore ugg boots for awhile.

I can't help with the food, I'm afraid. As for aggression, your cat is a teenager, but if he's just acting out he' being a bit more extreme than your average male teenager. I'm glad you are taking him to the vet, he may have a medical condition. If you find that it's behavioural he'll need...

She's eating ok? It's not clear from your post whether the Humane Society spayed her, if she was spayed less than 10 days ago she needs to be kept quiet, no strenuous activity. Generally, when you introduced cats, you have the new one separated in a small room with litter, bedding, bowls and...

They are all spayed or neutered? Have you tried site swapping? That's when you allow the new cat time to be in the space where the other cats usually are and put them in the space where he usually stays. This does two things, it allows the new cat to get his scent all over the place (which is...

I totally agree with abyeb, I've noticed someone on this forum saying that you can train a cat to be safe outside, this is not correct, cats are creatures of instinct, they will not stop and look both ways before chasing another cat across the road, for instance. Either enclose the yard and put...

You could try calming products like feliway, calming chews, Bachs flower essences or similar when she's overwhelmed. Some people even try medication for a short time but from what you are saying she's over it pretty quickly.

Anyone who has had one cat for awhile and then brought one or more cats home will tell you that if you have a single cat he or she will be focused on you and will be more like you. If you have two or more, they will act more like a cat and be more focused on the other cat/s.

It's impossible to know until you try, he may be fine, it may take a few days, or you might probably need to think of getting him a playmate. I'm sorry I can't be more help. How To Move With Your Cat To A New Home In A Safe Way

I agree with Ardina but I'd like to add, if you get a stuffed toy, my cats loved Kong Kickeroos, carry it around and distract him with it when he wants to get rough. He can bite and bunny kick it until he's expelled his energy.

Maggiedemi fish inhibits the production of thiamine, I'd assume it's made clear in all the countries guidelines. Our policing of them is very weak, Choice's testing found several manufacturers in breach when it tested wet cat food last year and past their results on to the ACCC. I don't think...

shadowplay, it was according to AAFCO standards. I do have to say that there was testing of ONE of the Cats in the Kitchen range by our major consumer group here (also using AAFCO guidelines) and it was recommended. I tend to rotate my cats' food because I don't really trust pet food...

Wevura posted that the amount of thiamine in the Bff tins was not up to the standard required to maintain a healthy cat. I apologise for not tacking this on to the thread. I tried to find it but it eluded me.

If people are so worried about their furniture they should buy an ornament or a stuffed toy. Protecting furniture is a pathetic reason to declaw a cat.

I don't care that you didn't ask what I thought. You posted this in a public forum and I'm taking the opportunity to tell you that it is banned in many countries because it is cruel.

Declawing is illegal where I live and in many parts of the developed world because it is inhumane. I honestly don't understand how anyone could contemplate such a thing or how vets, who I assume love animals could do it. Cats are animals, scratching allows them to communicate, it makes them...
