Hi All,  Just an hour or so ago, I put my little Pumpkin to sleep. He had severe heart failure diagnosed in January 2016. Had also had chronic kidney disease which limited our ability to increase his diuretic. He had to have a pleural effusion tapped and was started on Lasix, Plavix...

I sure hope someone can help me. I have a 5 year old spayed female, Aspen, who I've had for 1.5 years. I also have a roughly 10 year old neutered male cat named Pumpkin who I've had for 8 years. About a year ago, they both started spraying in the house. At first it was just on a new couch I...

I have two cats, Pumpkin, who's about 8 or 9 years old, and Aspen who's 3. I put a cat door in between my house and my screen porch a year and a half ago. I couldn't get them to use it with the flap down, so I just taped the flap up and they go in and out of it with no problem. Well, a...

Ok, I'm going to try to make this as short as possible, but it's going to be difficult. And thank everyone in advance for their advice. I have two cats: Pumpkin, a neutered male who's about 8 years old, and Aspen, a spayed female who's about 3 years old. I've had Pumpkin for 7 years and...

Hello all, I have a couple of problems that I hope someone can help me with. After almost 6 years of living in my house I've finally discovered that what I really like is contemporary design and I've been buying a lot of new things and moving around a lot of what I already have. I know cats...

Aspen and Pumpkin have been doing fairly well together although Aspen still sometimes chases him. Most of the time when she chases him she hunches down and wiggles her butt then runs after him and only slightly swats at him or just chases him away. I interpret the butt wiggling as playful. My...

I get so envious when I see the pictures on here of two cats cuddling together. It seems like they're usually two short haired cats I'm about 1 month into the introduction of Aspen (2 1/2 year old female long hair - white with orange points, bluish/purplish eyes) into my home where Pumpkin, my...

You all probably know the look your cats can give where they look at you or another cat, slowly close and open their eyes and then look away. Aspen did this to Pumpkin this morning, and my first thought was that she was being evil and rolling her eyes at him because it looked just like how...

Hello all. First of all, I'm so happy to have found this site. Even though I've had cats for 20 years, this is the first time I've had to introduce a brand new cat cold turkey (when Pumpkin came, he had been hanging around my house and interacting with my other two for 4 months before I...

Now that Aspen has stopped chasing Pumpkin (well she still does a little, but I can handle that), I have another question about her. She's a very friendly and confident cat, but when I'm in my bedroom or in my study, she acts like she doesn't really want to come in there. I've had her for a...

It's midday on July 4th and Aspen hasn't stalked or lunged at or chased Pumpkin in about 24 hours. Usually she would have done it at least 4-5 times just this morning. He's approached her tentatively at least 3-4 times this morning, and she smelled his nose once, laid down another time and...

Hello, This is only my 3rd day or so on this site and I've found it to be very helpful already. I've had Pumpkin for about 7 years but just got Aspen only 2 weeks ago after having to put to sleep my 19 year old baby, Bud. They're not killing each other but Aspen has been chasing Pumpkin so I...

Just now it dawned on me that of the four times I've seen Aspen chase Pumpkin, three of them were when Pumpkin had just come in from outside. Aspen doesn't go outside. Could it be that when Pumpkin comes in he smells foreign to Aspen so she chases him? If so, any suggestions on what to do...

Have started rubbing a towel over both of my kitties to try to stop Aspen from chasing Pumpkin, but I just read something about using vanilla. Can someone explain this? Where do you put it on the cat? How much? How often?

Hello everyone, This is my first new post here, and I'm so happy to find this site (I'm sure my vet is too because they're probably tired of getting my anxious phone calls to answer questions). Three weeks ago, I had to put my 19 year old baby, Bud, to sleep because he had either a stroke or a...
