    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    I slept a good sleep.  I phoned and got the appointment for Princess. My brain was going round and round in circles and suddenly it dawned on me - was thinking maybe Princess could stay elsewhere.  Then realized I do have a storage room that he could stay in, if I clear it out!  Then it would...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    This place Animalert said it will cover Princess's teeth if I get her spayed during the special price event at the low income clinic.  She thinks with a normal cat around and a calm atmosphere Hunter might be okay.  She thinks I should pick him up and take him to the vet.  Of course, I can...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Thanks, I might do just that if this guy will help although I did say I am not in love with her so ... Will keep this thread updated when something works out.

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Trying to see if someone can spring Hunter and fix him up, if they will let me - he could be all right in a home with no other kitties in a calm place or no?  Asked the guy if they could help him instead of his sister.  Feeling horrible right now.  At least I can take him his favorite foods for...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    The doctor who saw me asked if I will be putting him down.  I said yes.  The Health Unit lady said from what she heard of his attack, that he had gone back to feral (he was never feral in the first place)  .....  she said that it couldn't wait, the public health could not be at risk one more...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    They told me they will not adopt her out with her health problems.  I put an ad on Kijiji.  Someone offered to pay her bills so I can keep her.  Frankly we were only going to keep Twinkie.  Am going to let someone take her if they will.  Not sure if I can afford to get her fixed up so that she...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Thank you for all the kind advice received here.  A very tough decision has had to be made.  I am broken up about it but it was best for everybody all around.  Hunter is in quarantine and they will not vet him and adopt him out.  I had to sign his papers for the long sleep.  He was the best...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Yes come to think of it the pee smell, and some peeing outside the box, might have all started while the fighting did too.  And everyone shamed her so that didn't help much.

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    The girl is not fixed as I couldn't afford it.  The boys are both neutered.  Princess (the female) is smelling like pee on her back fir.  She has garbage-y smelling breath.  She vomits.  She never seemed to learn to chew her food, swallowing lots of kibble whole or big chunks of the wet food. ...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Thank you CatsAllAround because I am falling apart.  I am a softy and keep crying and blaming myself!  I have 3 grandchildren and one on the way and he has scratched 2 guests already  :/ And thanks for all the tips ShadowsRescue.  I really appreciate it.  I didn't get the spray, I opted for in...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Forgot to mention, it was confined Twinkie and Princess fighting that set Hunter off, he heard them and started his meowing, stalking, and low growl again.  I thought catnip would help so I was getting it but he attacked me before I even got hold of it (and now I know it isn't a good idea) ...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Hunter did it again.  I am on meds, went to ER, all scratched up.  I got discouraged/tired/lazy/haphazard and didn't use the vanilla because it was so slow working.  We decided we have to lose our cats (we are at odds about  whether to keep just one) .... we have to move, we have a financial...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Going to PetSmart to get some At Ease spray.  You can spray it on the cat or on blankets.  They use it in their shelter area for cats that come in to be groomed and whatnot at PetSmart.  There's also something I can buy to put in their water to calm them down.  Also getting a few more catnip...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    I've put vanilla on them 3 times.  I've used laser pointers and catnip toys. They look at him and hiss at him like he's from another planet.  We live in shifts, with 2 in the bathroom while Hunter roams around, then he is placed in my son's bedroom while the other two roam the apartment.  We...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Thank you!  They do have the occasional hissy fit but usually get along, eat from the same bowls, use the same litter boxes.  I do believe it was a case of re-directed aggression and am on the lookout for it, also know if Hunter looks like that again to walk away from him not put my face down...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    Hunter is the brother, his sister Princess and brother Twinkie have been here at home while he spent 10 days in the shelter after scratching my leg all to pieces.  I took him home.  We have them separated but how do I get them back together?  Bro and sis were hissing a bit, Hunter is chill...

    Re-introducing my cat to his bro and sis after shelter, how?

    My instinct is to put him in a bedroom away from the other two cats for now.  My son thinks they will never be friends again if he does.  Who is right or is there a 3rd option?

    Hunter totally finicky at shelter - is this normal?

    Hunter has always been a picky eater.  He is quarantined for scratching me and I am taking him to the vet after he gets out.  He is still pooping so he is obviously eating something.  Is this normal behavior for a homesick cat, should I worry about him or is he just not liking their brands and...

    What type of food do you feed?

    Fancy Feast. For convenience sake sometimes dry, but my cats are fat and need to not eat that.  (Sometimes money is an issue too.)
