ok... so im in my office and i hear lapping noises. I go to kitchen and Quinne is licking her lips and getting off the stove top as I enter. Earlier I had made tacos with a seasoning packet. Garlic is 11th in the ingredients list. I'm freaking the eff out because I know cats and garlic don't...

I try to play with him but he seems to like playing alone. Too much movement startles him.

well is there something I can do that will signify to him that biting is bad? Like a clicker or water mist? I've read in the past that yelling ow can sometimes get them to stop doing it. I didn't have to remember to say 'ow' because it hurt a lot.

oh i looked at the bite more closely. I think he may have scraped my foot with his overbite because there are no puncture wounds.

i was standing in kitchen making coffee and he was rubbing up against my leg using my leg to pet himself.

I adopted a new cat a few weeks ago. He was a stray coming from a foster home and before that the streets. He is very sweet and gentle and very happy to be in a home. He 'love bites' though and I mean hard. He drew blood the last time (not a lot) and it really hurt. He can be kind of skiddish...

my newest adoptee does that. He's two and was a stray and lived in a feral cat colony.

my newly adopted cat has this problem. im going to ask my vet but until then I'm trying to get a sense of if an overbite is an 'always bad situation' or a 'bad situation depending on severity'.

I currently have two cats and am adopting another to get the kitty population back up to three. Last time I introduced new cat to the others one at a time and worked out well.  I was wondering if I should use this technique again or if New cat should meet Old cats all at once? And yes I know...

i got a box with lower sides. the original box i had was very tall for Odessa. Each shorter box is on either side of the couch (behind the couch on bedding is her favorite place) against the walls. There is a blue litter mat in front of the litter box (it has always been there). I put the same...

thats one of the first things they looked at. Her BP is good. her blood work looked good. And while I appreciate the links and info, you didn't answer my post about caring for a blind cat and fixing the litter box issue.

My cat Odessa went blind a few days ago. They're figuring it out. I mostly brought her back in to vet because she seem to be losing a lot of weight. The first night was really hard. She kept bumping into things and walking through our TV stand. She seems to get disorientated easy and walks...

I took my 1.5yr old semi-ferral cat to the vet today. Although she loves to play, she's very sweet. Until she goes to the vet. She's afraid of the vet (which is why they had to sedate her prior to examination) but thats not why I'm posting. She's very hostile towards me. Not my husband or the...

the nipping is normal behavior (for her anyway). I've NEVER been able to touch her legs or paws or pads and ive had her since 2008. Thats what I'm saying-- how do I differentiate between her normal nipping and biting behavior (because I'm not allowed to touch/inspect those areas) and nipping due...

is jumping a learned behavior? I thought it was innate. You're right, I don't know anything about her background, I do know this though-- she was found wandering around Spirit Lake, ID and these people just coaxed her near them, then they brought her to Humane Society. Upon her arrival, it was...

Regarding her inability to jump, I've tried looking it up every so often but the only problem I ever find is people talking about how their cat's jumping ability getting worse with age.

She will be 5 this year. I adopted her from the Humane Society when she was about a year old. She has never been able to jump and even though her jumping ability its better than it used to be, it still takes her some enough to get on the couch. When she plays its very energetic, she meows and...
