Thanks again for all the info. I'm feeling more positive. I've just never had cats that have taken so long to get along nicely. The good thing about the cat tree is that it truly is a safe place for the female because my male is not a climber or jumper, which is good for me because he is a messy...
Very cute kitties! Thank you all for your stories. I've heard about people getting a third cat and things getting a little better. I sometimes wonder if it's the female's skidishness that makes things intense because in the past my first cat was a male and did well when I brought in another cat...
i forgot to answer your question about them actually fighting. I would say no, but like I mentioned before I have seen him sizing her up (in fact today and had his back arched a little). And he has giving a meow when doing so. As far as her, she hasn't quite behaved like that. She has hissed at...
Thank you again. I will try to increase to play time. I do find that the female tends to watch him more than to participate, but I think it may be because she is older and maybe a little over chasing things on strings. I do have cat trees where the female retreats to. Unfortunately, I can't...

When he pounces on her, she runs and he chases her into another room. Sometimes the chases seem intense. Then I intervene so that the chase does not continue. Sometimes their ears are back and the male is kinda looking at her like he is sizing her up. There have been times when he suddenly takes...
Thank you for your response. I do try to get them to play together, but usually one watches the other play. The only thing they seem to do together is play with real insects that come into the house...lol. They seem to take turns batting at it. I'm hoping it will get better, but the fact that...
I'm having the same issue with my two. My female is 4 and male is 1. It's going on a year for us and I'm finding that I still need to supervise. Never had the issue with my former kitties, or maybe I don't really remember because it was so long ago. All I can advise is to monitor play time and...
I currently have a 4 year old domestic long hair female and a 1 year old male Ragdoll. It will be one year next month that they have been together. I am finding that I still have to monitor when they are "playing" together because it seems like it can get out of hand. There is still chasing and...
I can't give much advice here, although can say I relate to your situation. I'm having the same issue with my one year old male ragdoll, who only prefers kibbles and runs away from wet food. To top it off, he is on strict protein diet due to potty issues, so it's not like I can offer him...
Thank you! I will check out the links given. I have two fur babies and find myself sweeping and running my Roomba daily. I am hoping that an air purifier can help not so much with smells, but dander and flying fur.
I have one of my cat boxes right next to our black toilet. I use the world's best litter and compared to regular clay litter, I can honestly say the dust is way less. With the clay, my toilet lid would be dusty a few days after it was cleaned. I also feel like I'm not sucking up litter dust when...
I use the world's best cat litter. I've used the clay clumping for years (different brands) and found myself having change out the litter often and washing the box because eventually there was a funky odor, plus I didn't like the fine litter spreading all over the place and sticking to my feet...
Hello. I'm wanting to purchase an air purifier for my home to help with pet fur and dander. Does anyone have any experience owning one and does it really work? Are they loud?
I love the litter, but don't flush it either. I just save the produce bags from the market and keep them handy when I need to scoop. I know it's a toilet, but I'm kinda wierd about flushing kitty poo in something we people use as well, plus I don't want to run the risk of having plumbing...
I was reading your thread and have a simlar potty situation with my one year old male. I couldn't imagine dealing with ears at the same time. Poor boy. However, he is beautiful and looks happy. My vet has put my guy on a limited protein prescription diet. She is thinking he may have a food...
I am sorry to hear that it may be FIP. Personally, i am one to not want to see my pets with tubes or anything else, but that is my personal choice. Listen to your heart as to what to do if the situation does not improve soon. I hope your baby gets better.
That's good news. Just monitor your kitty and try to encourage him to eat. I think I read that boiled chicken broth is good too, of course with no salt or spices. Maybe that can help bring back some strength. Fingers crossed for you both. Keep us posted.
