The four cats are as follows: Tama and Pearl - sisters, about 3 years old. Geddy - female, about 2 years old. Travis - male, about 7 months old. All the females are fixed, and Travis will be neutered soon. The main issue is Travis and Geddy - he beats her up constantly. It's not mean...

My wife and I have four cats, and other than the recent noisy fighting/playing, they are generally good pets. One cat, however, has a strange behavior. Tama, about 3 yrs old, HATES strangers. She is a relatively normal cat to my wife and me - friendly, and mostly non-aggressive (though she...

Thanks for the thread and advice. We're taking her to the et tomorrow alon with getting a couple of boxes and putting them in other private places.

We have 3 cats, they have 2 boxes. The boxes get cleaned every two days. One cat will urinate but not deficate in the box. This happens intermittently - it doesn't have to do with new litter or anything like that. She also is the least friendly of the three and will leave the area where the...

Our 9-month old kitten has split the "thumb" claw on her right paw. She went to chase a squirrel, and nearly fell off of our second-story terrace in her excitement. The terrace is concrete - she was hanging for a second before being able to pull herself back up, however the scratching on the...

Hi all, and Happy New Year. I posted a few months ago about my kitten who had trouble breathing through her nose. Well, the vet eventually put her on a combination of antibiotics and antihistamine, which seemed to work fine. But now that we've had "Geddy" for about 4 months, we're getting...

Please help, I've been to the vet and my new kitten, 12 wks, has a virus. The vet had to give her fluids to get her pepped up and she has a fever. She's on antibiotics but she can't seem to get a breath through her nose which seems to be very stressful to her. I've done the saline drops and...

Thnaks for the advice Frannie - it is similar to an approach we are trying. One website suggested confining the kitten to one room, and letting the two sisters have the rest of the house. In order to "swap scents", the kitten's food is placed very close to the door of the confinement room, and...

We just got an 11 week old kitten and are introducing her to our 9 month old sister kittens. The kitten is growling and hissing whenever the others try to come near to check her out. WHat do I do?

I must agree, two kittens are better than one. When I looked for mine (ONLY in shelters, mind you), I looked for a "double adoption". As far as females getting along, my kitties are sisters, and they simply LOVE each other. They certainly get the rough play out of their systems, and...

Don't declaw, please! I just think it is cruel. A solution I have heard of is to place small inflated balloons in the cats' favorite scratch spots - especially when you are away. Not only do they not like them, but if they scratch one and pop it, the noise is a great aversion, and can really...

Thanks for the quick reply to my last post - now another annoyance. My kittens (they are sisters) get very aggressive / defensive when fed "people food" treats. They go absolutely crazy for little tidbits of whatever we are eating, and have a tendency to grab our hands, bite our fingers, and...

I've got two new sister kittens. They were BORN at the pound, and are such people-lovers. I'd say they are about 8-10 weeks old, and I've had them for about 3 weeks. They have a habit of suckling on my earlobes. At first I thought it was the sweetest and cutest thing, but now they are getting...
