Thank you both for great input & ideas!!
Here is an update:
Tonight I decided it was time to let them out together under supervision. It went as expected.. Tommy hissed/growled at Grace if she came too close. But other than that, tommy watched her and laid on the carpet... He was...
i know how you feel... thats why i avoid going to shelters/pet stores UNLESS i know I CAN adopt a kitty. Otherwise, id go home bawling my head off... Hubby says 2 cats, NO MORE!! if it were up to me, i'd rescue a couple more kittys.
haha that is funny.
my cat tommy does kitty kisses differently also.. what he likes to do is rub the sides of his mouth (usually his "fang" teeth is what you'd feel) against any body part that is not covered in clothes and available for touch (Elbows, ankles, face, feet. etc).. i really dont...
We got a new kitty yesterday afternoon, her name is Grace. Shes a GORGEOUS petite black kitty (very black & shiny coat). She's 1 year old and spayed. We got her from this FABULOUS shelter called N.O.A.H it's a non-profit place, very successful and very awesome.
Grace is very mellow.. super...
i have three cats and a small jack russell puppy. we are looking to relocate. there is a duplex that we are looking at.... we like it very much. my concern is the backyard. they have got it all fixed up fancy with curvy sidewalk, rocks & bark.. there is no grass back there. its completely...
Haha, my 4 year old has been neutered for over 3 years and this is the first time ive seen him get .. weird.. haha. and lucky, i got him neutered right away after getting him so hes been neutered for over 5 months now. it is hilarious but at the same time a bit freaky!
I have an almost 4 year old neutered male, he grew up with my other 4 year old fixed female.. they were the best of friends, never saw any affection between them. Until recently, we rescued a male kitten. He's now approximately 8 to 10 months old, hes still a kitten. We got him neutered right...
We finally got Lucky neutered two days ago. Ever since we brought him home, he has acted differently towards me. (im the one who dropped him off at the vet). Whenever I try to pick him up.. he struggles to get away.. bites my face or my hand, claws me.. i let him go. Whenever i try to pet him...
Thanks so much for the suggestions, i appreciate them. I have never heard of the term "alpha" can you explain this a bit more to me?? thanks.. i grew up my entire life with cats. I would say I've had over 20 cats in my life, but now that i'm recently married and now we have our own place, its...
thanks for the merge. i am just worried that with the constant bothering him, i dont want to see tommy give up and let the young kitten win (having the dominance) you know? i know that he is being a kitten. but this behaviour was a sudden change since last week, for instance... this week he has...
hi its me again, i recently made a post about play vs agression a few days ago. well now that we've figured out that the young kitten is trying to take away dominance from my 3 year old male, note that the young kitten is non-neutered and will be neutered very soon. however, while we're waiting...
we have been planning on getting him neutered but the vet wanted to wait til he was all done with his meds and then get him neutered. but now with this situation, i'd be sure to hush up the process.
my new little kitten is the same way... always obsessed with the little ball oranments on the tree and my tree is only 3 foot tall and yet he loves to "climb" it.. haha, well.. i did see the kitten eat a broken ball. i was freaked out, i am always sweeping the floors to make sure theres no...
ok so, i have a 3 year old neutered male cat and recently adopted a 6 month non-neutered male kitten. they get along for the most part. they play a lot with eachother, they chase eachother and play hide n seek. but occasionally when the 3 year old male is tired and doesnt want to play anymore...
