My cat did very similar things that you're describing. She hid and hid for weeks when we got her but then one day she came up onto the couch, planted herself in my lap, and pretty much hasn't left since.
I think what was helpful was that I let her find her spot to hide and I let her have it...
I like the litter from PetCo. It's their in-house stuff. I put some baking soda down for odor control and scoop once a day and then do a big cleaning once a week and you'd never know there are two cats here.
I definitely feed her wet food pretty much exclusively. I have some dry food (both by Merrick) that I offer when I'm away so she can snack. She's very dainty so she doesn't eat much at all. The dry food will last her a week and she eats one small can of food a day. I offer her as much as she...
There were a number of different ideas going around in the vet's office. One was that this could have been a chronic problem that became acute when she became stressed by the introduction of a new cat into our home. He would often chase her out of the litter boxes we put out so she may have been...
Hi there, thank you so much for your response. She ended up having a pretty terrible night so we brought her to another vet that my sister swears by. She was 100% right on. The vet examined Trixie and found that she had a large rock hard ball of stool blocking her up. They anesthetized her and...
Same! I just watched Storm of the Century again the other day. Loved that movie. It makes me think of my cat when she sits on my chest every morning. "Give me what I want and I'll go away."
The window seat perch with the suction cups do work. My boy cat is very heavy, I'd guess 19 to 20lbs and he does fine with it. He sits there and watches the birds in the tree outside our front window and does his little chatter noise. It's very cute.
Also, agreed on the scented litter. Some...
We had to get three in our place. Our bigger cat liked to chase the smaller one out so she has her own place and the other two if/when she is able to use them.
Have you ever tried a litter genie? It's really convenient and I've found in more inclined to scoop when I'm not having to hunt down...
I don't have much in the way of advice but just adding my voice of support. I hope he returns to you. He's a gorgeous boy. It sounds like you're keeping the faith alive which is so helpful in these situations. Definitely keep with the updates. I'm hoping for a happy end. :)
They're so adorable!! Every time I see a cat I feel like that girl in the video where she starts crying whenever she thinks about cats and wanting to hug them all on a rainbow or something. It was a satirical video but it's so relatable haha!
Your babies look very happy
