Albert has gotten into the habit of nipping me from time to time and has broken the skin several times. I'm careful not to pet him in a way that might cause this, like reach over him or pet his hindquarters, but once he was on the bed and just ran up to me, bit me on the arm and ran away. I...

I sent this back months ago. :disappointed: To get the full effect you have to hear me pleading "Come on, Albert ... Give it a try, sweetie ..."

So, I went out of town for a few days. The cat-sitter, who is not scared of mice, said she didn't see any, but often found Albert sitting in the kitchen staring at the crack between the cabinet and stove. The handyman had said he fund droppings back there but no holes; he'd plugged and boarded...

Laura, I sympathize with you! I hope you can work it out. I live in Massachusetts; I saw my Albert's photo on petfinder.com as being tied to a local site, then found out he was actually being fostered in Houston. I met him on FaceTime chat. He was in a vet's office. I liked him, agreed to...

I was trying to get my Albert to eat more slowly because he was barfing a lot. I got him a "puzzle"-type bowl and he basically just stared at it. Got another kind, same deal. I just feed him small amounts frequently, am thinking of getting an automatic bowl with a timer ... I don't think your...

I know it's not logical, and had in fact scolded myself with the "one-ounce" description. I'm going to work on it.

You folks have been very helpful to me. I think I can get over my musophobia (a word I somehow only learned this week); I really must, now that I live in New England. I am awaiting the return of the handyman in a half hour. I think that after he blocked off the holes, there was one still hiding...

I'm sure it's the element of surprise, and tied to a few creepy rat-sightings during my years in New York. When I was a kid and my parents and I were staying with friends on CT during the summer, I found a baby mouse wounded in the road and nursed it back to health. Yes, the teeth. I fed a lot...

Duly noted, Willowy! And that's kind of you. I read your post on my phone, having shut myself into the bathroom like the world's biggest coward. I had seen Albert staring into the crack between the stove and cabinets in the kitchen a half hour ago. Next time I looked, he was in the dining area...

I've had Albert for a year now. He's five, adopted long-distance from Houston. Yesterday I saw him darting from one side of my kitchen trash can to the other. Finally a little brown mouse ran out and ran into the living room, Albert giving chase. I screamed like a banshee. I called the handyman...

Aw, what a cutie.

He's done this on the closet and it swung open, but I think he just likes to grab onto things and hang!

Hm, I wonder. Mine likes to do it on the base of the bed, the rug, a leather writing notebook I have. My leg ... I visited some friends in NY a couple of weeks ago. They had a Burmese, which I once read was on the "most affectionate" list along with Siamese cats. Their kitty reminded me of...

I moved to Massachusetts last year, into an apartment with a landlord who allowed one cat. For many years I lived in a house and have rescued many dogs and cats over the years; the last, elderly dog lives with my ex. Anyway, I adopted my kitty through Petfinder and he came to me from Houston. He...

I have adopted dogs and cats my whole life. When my husband and I split up he took our remaining elderly dog. I now live in an apartment in New England, moved this year from LA; my landlord allows one cat and I adopted an adult Siamese cat,.He is the most affectionate kitty I've ever had, loves...
