    Beastie Band Problems?

    Hi, Our new kitten- 8 mos old now- just got a new Beastie Band collar. He’s only had it on for about a week. In that time, he’s gotten his claw stuck in the collar once, and just now I found him with his *tooth* snagged on it somehow- his jaw stuck open. Our 1.5-yr-old cat has had a Beastie...

    New Kitten Biting Resident Cat's Neck??

    I posted a couple weeks ago about the new 6-mo-old fixed male kitten we adopted and how he seemed scared and kept hiding. Well, he's got the run of the house now! He's settled right in. And my resident cat Marbles and he are in process working things out- I *think.* But... He keeps going after...

    Introducing New Kitten To Single Resident Cat

    Months! Months *separated* before you could bring them together? or just months til they finally got along, but they were living in the same space?

    Introducing New Kitten To Single Resident Cat

    Thanks-all of that is what we've been doing. Watched Jackson's Galaxy's video on introducing cats, too. Just kind of wondering how long is reasonable to expect it to take altogether... foster said 3-5 days... some articles say "a few weeks"

    Introducing New Kitten To Single Resident Cat

    Hi.... Looking for reassurance, I guess, or additional tips maybe?? Our resident female cat, Marbles, is 16 mos now and hasn't seen another cat since she was 9 weeks old. Just adopted a chill little 6-mo-old male 5 days ago. He's barricaded in the living room out of sight. He's sweet and...

    New Kitten Probably Has Herpes. Worried For My Resident Cat.

    We just adopted a new kitten. He has a slightly runny nose and slightly watery eyes now. Vet feels probably herpes. He was found on the street a couple mos ago and had a upper respiratory infection then, so this is probably a recurrence. I'm worried for my resident cat. We've kept the kitten...

    New Kitten Won't Come Out From Under Couch

    Well. This am, I thought he'd be under there forever. But he's been warming up throughout the day... I just found him on top of the piano. Guess he's not as scared as I thought!

    New Kitten Won't Come Out From Under Couch

    I would put him in another closed room if I could... we don't have an extra one though. Our resident cat has enough other areas of the house that she's fine

    New Kitten Won't Come Out From Under Couch

    Hi all- We just adopted a new 6-mo-old orange male kitten. Background: he was found on the street at 3.5 mos, and has lived with a foster since then. He was with several other cats, and got along fine wth them and would play with them. Foster mom says he is totally a submissive "omega" cat :)...

    kitten sleeping too much?

    Hi! Marbles just turned 1. The sleeping for many many hours thing decreased with time. She doesn't sleep nearly as deeply anymore, and she's up and about more total hours during the day than she was at 5 mos; also, there's less of a dichotomy- she doesn't stay up for many hours then totally...

    Kitty Holster Seems Too Short- Other Jacket Recommendations?

    I have bought Marbles a regular and then a narrow-neck Kitty Holster walking jacket. She is a very small (6.5-lb) slim 1-yr-old cat. In the regular one, she could not bend her neck down- it choked her. She does pretty well with the narrow-neck one, but the entire length of the jacket just seems...

    Walking Two Cats? Anyone ?

    i am slowly working on hopefully getting my now-11-mo-old cat to walk with a harness and leash. Have high hopes of taking her everywhere :) We are still considering *maybe* getting a 2nd cat. If we do- can you walk two cats at once like you can walk two dogs?

    10-mo-old Kitten Has Lump Between Shoulder Blades. Tell Me What Else It Could Be...

    I read the chip is the size of a grain of rice? This is more like maybe a kidney bean. I think I can feel the chip nearby it but separate.

    10-mo-old Kitten Has Lump Between Shoulder Blades. Tell Me What Else It Could Be...

    I know any injections can cause sarcoma and I also know vets aren't supposed to give vaccines between the shoulder blades anymore because of it. I don't know where she had her vaccines because I didn't see them give them. She did have a rabies vaccine maybe 3 weeks ago and I don't know where...

    First Time With A Collar

    She's still constantly scratching it, it's been a day. I loosened it justice for now so that I could fit *three* fingers under it without stretching it. I'm having a hard time trying to figure how right it should really be, since it's so stretchy? Two-finger fit without stretching it at all?

    First Time With A Collar

    hi! I just got 9-mo-old Marbles a Beastie Band collar and just put it on for the first time. How long is it likely to take before she stops obsessing about trying to get it off?? She can't focus on anything else right now they than scratching her neck and writhing around on the floor trying to...
