    Other Cats Changes in Behavior after Death of One

    It's probably just his way of mourning the loss of his friend. All you can do is give him extra attention and eventually he'll probably start acting more like himself again.

    How to introduce new cats

    If you have two pet carriers, you can put each of them in one and place the carriers a foot or two apart, facing each other so the cats can get used to seeing each other. Put a towel in each carrier then switch them so the cats can get used to each other's scents. If they have a few days to get...

    Other Cats Changes in Behavior after Death of One

    Yes, this happened to one of my cats after we lost the other one that he grew up with since he was a kitten. (they were together almost 18 years). He was looking everywhere for him around the house, was much more vocal, crying very loudly as if he was calling for him. He was never really the...

    Cat "answers" phone

    Thanks guys for the suggestions. I haven't thought of bitter apple. I'll have to try that. Right now we have a big metal bowl over the whole phone so he can't get to it, but its just a temporary solution. If he doesn't stop we'll have to move it. Last week he knocked the receiver off the hook...

    Cat "answers" phone

    My cat Zeke (almost 2 years old) is obsessed with our phone that we keep on the kitchen countertop. He pushes the receiver off the hook when he's trying to get attention or wants food so the phone makes that loud busy signal noise. He "answers" the phone whenever it rings by throwing it off the...

    How heavy are your little ones?

    Zeke is 13.6, Toby is probably about 16. They're very active, but according the vet, they're both too fat.

    What kind of litterbox does everyone use?

    I use clear Sterilite brand storage containers from a discount store. They're a nice size, plus they were only $3 each. The boys like them much better than the pricier ones I had before and they are easy to clean.

    New Kitten has constant diarrhea. Need some help.

    Zeke had this problem when I got him and in his case it turned out to be tapeworm causing the diarrhea. It didn't show up in the fecal sample or the sample the vet had sent out to a lab. I started seeing tiny little things that looked like rice grains in his bedding. He got a shot and the...

    Do your cats wear collars?

    They used to wear them until Zeke choked on his breakaway collar. I guess he was cleaning his neck and the collar somehow looped over his bottom teeth and was caught in his mouth and he was gagging. Fortunately, I was there shortly after it happened and cut the collar off with scissors. That was...

    Different purrs

    Zeke sounds like he has a little motor. You can hear his purr across the room. Toby's purr is so quiet, you can barely hear it.

    Anyone feeding both wet and dry food?

    My cats eat wet 2 or 3 times per day and some dry throughout the day. They like both types and I don't think they'd be happy if I switched them to only one or the other.

    New to Cats, trying to save a life

    I hope the two will get along. When I introduced my 2 boys, it didn't go all that well even after a slow introduction but in about 3 or 4 days they got along well. Now, I'll find them cuddled up together sleeping on the couch sometimes. I doubt his personality will change. Toby acted sort of...

    Food questions

    I really need some help with my picky eaters. I have two 1-year old males who currently eat a mix of Wellness Indoor Health Dry and Natural Balance Original Ultra Dry. I also give them a small amount of wet food 2-3 times per day. Toby refuses to eat anything except Fancy Feast Florentine or...

    Which coat color attracts you the most?

    My current kitties are are a brown tabby and an orange tabby. I've always wanted a solid black or solid white cat. I guess I go more by personality than color, but solid gray cats remind me of my beloved first cat.
