    Resident cat refuses to eat after hearing the new cat

    So I’ve just adopted a lovely black cat Luna as a companion for my tabico cat Reiko, they are both around 4 years old. It’s day 3 since Luna came, and she is nicely holed up in her base camp. It took only 24 hours for Luna to turn into a sweet and cuddly cat from a shy and timid one. Reiko on...

    Luna the blue eyed black cat

    I have recently adopted a full black cat with paraiba-blue eyes – her eyes changes with the lighting from blue to green (you can see the dual colours here in this photo). She was formerly living on the streets (she's about 3-4 years old) and have possibly been abused since she cringes in fear...

    Is It Healthy For Cats To Play On Ipad?

    I just discovered a magical app named Mouse for Cats and Reiko is totally hooked. She's been playing the game for 20 minutes straight now and shows no sign of getting bored. This has been the most effective 'toy' to ever keep her occupied! However I'm just wondering if there are any health...

    Cat is destructive when left alone

    Okay I've not asked for help here in a while because Reiko has been pretty good in the last few months (she's 7 months now).. until recently. Whenever we are home, she interacts with us, naps with her belly up around us (trust) and plays like any other time. We feed her on schedule, change her...

    Need to stop cat from drinking from toilet!

    Reiko is a 4 month old who I noticed began to sit inside the toilet bowl and drink the water there. It's a habit that greatly annoys me because toilet bowls are gross and she steps all over my bed all the time (can you imagine all the germs from the bowl on my bed?!!!) She has her own fresh...

    Kitten and Pest Extermination

    Hey guys! Okay so I'm really angry and worried. I'm living with my boyfriends family and today his dad scheduled a pest exterminator to come without telling me - and I wasn't home. Also this surprise visit did not give me time to board my pet, which I would've done if I knew. What they did...

    Attention seeking behaviour getting worse

    My 13 week kitten, Reiko, has always tried to seek our attention, being our only cat and I've always played by the cat rule book on dealing with this sort of behaviour but it's been becoming worse. Usually she would attack things she knows she's not allowed to (and look right at me to see if...

    Reiko the Cat

    I realised I've been here nearly a month and I've not introduced ourselves yet! I'm Michelle from Malaysia and this is my 3 month old Reiko. She's a calico tabby & the Japanese believe calicos bring good luck. Her name Reiko is Japanese for 'good girl' which is up for debate judging from the...

    Vet is telling me to crate train kitten

    Hey guys, so Reiko is 12 weeks old today and we went for her 2nd vet visit for vaccination and deworming. I was speaking to the doc and he was telling me to crate train Reiko, like cage her up 4-5 hours a day and not let her roam about so much. I currently only use the crate for her time outs...

    Am I doing the 'time-outs' correctly?

    Okay so now we have a large cage in the room which I use to teach Reiko not to jump on us at night (work in progress) and I've started using it as a 'time-out' space too. Usually when she's naughty – like scratching furniture instead of her tree or gnawing on wires, she gets the time out. I've...

    Hey guys, this is Reiko. She's 10 weeks old and she's so pretty but I don't know if I should call her a tortie or calico. Or is it the same thing?

    Does anyone use OkoPlus litter?

    I bought this litter from my local pet store and the 15L ones came with a free storage box! I love the smell it smells like wood (like the wood section in IKEA) and it doesn't smell either. It's a German brand by Cat's Best, not be confused with World's Best (which we don't have here btw) It...

    Treat feeding issue

    Okay so my 10 week old kitten is a little ball of energy and I try to feed her some treats as I pet her because I want her to associate petting with positive reinforcement. Whenever I offer her a treat, she would puff up and advance towards my hand in a menacing manner like approaching a prey...

    Is a dry food diet supplemented by wet ok?

    My 9 week old kitten is on Royal Canin weaning kibbles, which she gets 3 times a day. Usually whenever I go out, I tend to pick up various brands of wet food and she would get some wet food few times a week depending on what I find. I've read some discussions here that cats should have wet...

    Kitten now allowed on bed, but she's destroying things

    Hello, I previously posted asking for tips to keep a cat off the bed but since a majority of people think it's better for her to be on the bed when she wants to, I've allowed her in. But how do I deal with the kitten attacking my pillows, biting our wires and knocking remotes off the shelf...
