Well, I told my husband the decision would have to be his since he feels Thomas is more his than mine. He decided we would let Thomas go home with this new mommy. She already had two from the same litter, and one died of cancer, and she wanted another cuddly cat. The other cat is somewhat...

After two years of playing referee and keeping our cats separated in our 750sq foot apt, we are on the brink of rehoming our male. We have a wonderful woman who would love to take him home with her, but now we're not so sure we can give him away. My husband is more attached than I realized...

We have a similar situation with one cat bullying the other. He's three, she's two and we had him a few months before her. We have a small apartment and don't see an end to the fighting as long as we're in such a tight space. The older one (the bully) ends up in a room by himself about 50% of...

I really appreciate your suggestions....I am going to try them out. We love Thomas Kittens, but we have to put him in a room away from Lily so often, that I feel bad. If I can find him a home where he can have more room and not be holed up in an office all the time, I think he will be happier...

My husband and I noticed our 1 and half year old cat's bottom lip was sticking out quite a bit over the past few days. I checked it out and she seems to have a hard, pale lump that spans her front four teeth. Also, her upper gums look a little inflamed. I've noticed she hasn't been eating as...

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've written about the status of my fighting cats, but I thought I would give an update. My male cat keeps "beating up" my smaller, female cat, and it's gotten so bad that we've decided one of them would be happier in a different situation. She is much more...

I know, the first year or two takes a lot of patience and understanding. I still have a container full of glass and ceramic objects in need of glue, that once or twice fell prey to a hyper kitty.

My male cat meows all the freakin' time, and always has...infact, I think he meows enough for both cats. However, Lily makes many sounds including a squeaky, raspy meow, depending on the occasion. She chirps when she's near me and excited to see me, but recently started giving the tiniest...

Yeah, I thought that sooner or later, I would be less enamored with Lily, you know? I thought maybe she was just going through a stage. But the more affection I show her, the more excited she gets to see me. She waits outside doors for me, then when I come out, she jumps up, runs down the...

Our cats' eating habits have fluxuated over time, one used to eat all her food and then the other cat's. Good thing his is weight control! After she visited the vet and we were sure she was okay, we just figured she was maybe still growing? Anyway, she has slowed her eating habits and we no...

My Mr. Thomas Kittens has NEVER covered his own stuff. It used to drive me crazy....I even tried showing him how in the beginning like books told me to. Needless to say, it stinks around here sometimes. If Lily happens to come by after he goes, she'll take care of it, but that doesn't always...

Btw, we're still working out the kinks. I had no idea until recently just how territorial and finicky cats can be about other cats. The vet told me that more often than not, cats that are from different litters do not get along 100%. They take time to work it out I guess. It's prob not a...

Our first cat sounds a lot like Cat and acted quite a bit the same when we first brought in Lily. Actually, he didn't really start playing a lot again until about a year after we introduced Lily. Now she is less hyper so he can actually have a turn to jump in. He is now more aggressive about...

Yeah, my youngest cat brings me her toys for two reasons: to play or as what I like to think of as gifts. She really only does it with her fake mice. I've heard several people say their indoor/outdoor cats drop off dead rodents and such on the front porch. I've always heard they were sort of...

It's like she knows you helped rescue her. She may end up developing a voice yet though. My little kitten, just over a year also, hardly ever meows just because it's her personality. But because she hardly ever meows, it's not very well-developed. She does the just opening her mouth thing...

I just read about your little kitten and I am so jealous. I hear that mothers will always want a newborn, no matter how many children they have, but I feel that way about kittens. My little Lily was only 7 weeks when I got her, still fit in my hand, and she still treats me like her mama...

Haha. Those were the vet's words almost exactly. I appreciate the advice. I'm still wondering about the medicine someone mentioned above. Chelsea

I appreciate all the advice, it's nice to hear from so many with so much experience. Lily, the smaller, younger one saw the vet last week and everything is fine with her. Mr. Thomas Kittens saw the vet recently two and he is okay as well. We think (the vet, my husband and me) that Thomas is...

There have been a few threads about cat fighting and how much is too much, but my question is, what if they are still hurting each other after a year together? I don't know if I introduced them "correctly" or not, but it's a little late to remedy that. My poor smaller female cat's face looks...

Lily has multiple affectionate knick-names, because she is just that, affectionate and fun-loving. She is often called "little lily-bear", or "my little piece of sugar pie." She makes a great assistant as she can always be found laying on my books and papers for school. On the other hand...
