My male, neutered 5 year old kitty recently made a 1 year old female friend, who is not spayed. (She's his new roommate.) He actually got on top of her at one point and bit her on her scruff area, but he didn't spend too long there, and since she's continued to meow and wail in a different way...

I moved into a new apartment recently and my cat has a cat friend now (he's 5, she's 1). I got him a new pine pellet litter after the move but before the new cat moved in. I mixed it in little by little with his usual odour buster clay litter, and he took to it well, using the litter like usual...

I'm moving into a new apartment with my kitty tomorrow, and have to put the cat litter in the bathroom (it's carpeted everywhere except the bathroom and kitchen). In my previous apartment the cat litter was also in the bathroom, and I had an issue with it tracking onto the tile floor and...

Lux is a long-haired cat and since I've had him since he was 1.5 years, and he's soon to be 4. I haven't trimmed his bloomers even though they were badly in need of it, but yesterday because he was leaving poo bits everywhere (including my roommate's room) and smelling like poo and that was...

Hi CatSite forum members. I would appreciate some advice on leash training my kitty, Lux. I live in a small apartment building, a walkup, and just outside the front door there is a relatively busy street. Not packed with people but there are cars rolling by mostly all the time, and trucks. I was...

My friend who works there offered to pick him up and drop him off. My question is, would it be better for me to be there or for me to not be there?

I haven't yet been able to afford a water fountain so Lux just gets his water in a bowl. A while ago I got a Santevia alkalizing and mineralizing water filter and since I've been giving that to Lux he finishes nearly half his bowl of water in one day!

So far I have:  - Leaving around dirty shirts me and my partner have worn so he smells us  - Having his usual pheromone collar up and running - Leaving out his toys  - Having someone check in on him once a day Things like Feliway and automated toys I can't afford atm. Any ideas on the cheap...

Lux has never done this before, but last night/morning (I went to bed late) I heard him meowing/wailing/crying at night. Not only was he meowing in a way he normally doesn't (incessant meowling) but he never is really that vocal and also he never meows at night. Does anyone have an idea of why...

Lux never used to be very troubled by my or my live-in partner's absence, but recently we all have bonded more and he seems to feel much closer with us - seeks us out more, even cuddles.  At the same time my partner and I are doing a work thing together that requires is to be away for 3 days a...

My roommate/boyfriend and I just came back from a three day trip. Usually we're around a lot. We came back to my purring kitty with a bald patch on the back of his ear! It's not even that the fur is thin, but I can actually feel his skin through it. Can anyone tell me why this might be? I'm...

Lux is a nervous cat, for sure. While this is negative and impacts him in this way, it also comes out positively in his voracious appetite for playtime. He's still such a kitten in so many ways, and this is definitely one of them. I've played with him for an hour straight before and he was still...

I have tried SO many things to help my kitty's anxiety and they only seem to work a bit, he's still jittery and fidgety and anxious. Thinking about trying a Thundershirt. Any thoughts/experiences?

Ever since I got him, this hasn't abated: I've noticed that my cat, Lux's body language is always defensive, except when he forgets himself and starts to enjoy himself and then remembers himself and goes on the defensive again. By this I mean shoulders up and neck tense, ready to move away. He...

I'm beginning to consider considering giving up my cat because I feel no connection to him, but I don't know if that is something that I can justifiably do, or even want to do. It feels shameful to have these feelings, but I can't help them. I have put a lot of time and energy and care into...

Lux was not a cuddly kitty before but he's becoming more and more so recently since I've started addressing changing the behaviour in gentle ways. So now when he comes into the bedroom when I wake up, purring so loud, I pick him up and put him on my lap and pet him and he stays, purring and...

Lux has always been a litter-kicker-upper, so I significantly lowered the amount of litter I put in his box to about 2". I thought he had gotten over this, so I increased the amount, as I'd read it made the litter box a more organic experience for cats - they wouldn't reach plastic while going...

I was never able to brush Lux's belly before. He is so fluffy, and most of that fluff ends up in his stomach. After he vomited his first hairball in over a year, I took to the internet. I found a video on YouTube called "Long-haired Cats Grooming Guidelines" by PurebredCatRescue that...

Today I came to the conclusion that I was being a skittish cat guardian, and not striking any sort of balance between discipline and the lack thereof. By discipline, I mean the literal definition, which is training to adhere to a rule - not punishment, which people often confuse the two with...

For the past couple of days, Lux has been walking around the house sniffing at everything and even licking things, sometimes ending up eating crumbs off the floor. Sometimes he goes around sniffing errant crumbs and eats them. He licked my hand, my leg...cute. Licked my library books, the...
