I know is a very old topic (hope I won’t be flamed for bringing it back), but recently this topic is relevant to me and t seemed less messy to bring it back than start a new one.
I’m having my cat Sabbath suddenly (over the last few months anyway) sitting facing the wall.
He lays on the...
Both were shelter cats but we're kept in their own pens and never really had socialisation with the other cats. I have no idea about Sabbath's previous life and whether he was ina group then (his aloofness and hissing at Fe makes me think he's always been solitary though).
It's a fascinating...
Mine tend to use their box within about half an hour of each other. Sabbath always attempts to clean up Felix's mess also as Felix isn't capable (he's missinf a front leg).
My cats also tend to want to do their poo whenever I'm about to sit and eat something or am very busy. It's like spite haha.
That's an interesting theory. It never even occurred to me that could be part of his train of thought. I just thought it was because he was meticulous about litterbox hygiene and trying to look out for his three legged bro lol.
Cats are very strange creatures.
Mine drags rubbish out Of the trash can and pulls it into his litter box when the litter actually needs changed and he's getting frustrated with his own urine smell. I never found a way to discourage it and I honestly don't think I should (as its a pretty clear indicator to me it's time to...
It's not a weird or dumb question.
They get a bit over exhausted and start panting sometimes. Sometimes it's good to let them wind themselves down enough so they can relax and not end up with bursts of energy for no reason when it's sleeping time lol. Let them run themselves ragged, they...
Just wondering if this is usual or unique, I've never owned two cats before and so have never experienced it.
Both my cats have their own specific litter box. Sabbath has one in my bedroom, Felix (who is a three leg cat - snare accident, leg amputated to shoulder at front left side) has his...
I had wondered about this. My black cat Sabbath was adopted first and a year and a half down the line we picked up Felix who has three legs. When Felix has settled Sab tends to come over and lick Fe's head and neck, but usually within a minute or two Fe will start wrestling and Sab tends to...
My cats are a funny pair. I give them a bowl each at dinner time and half way their meal they will stop and switch bowls. Then after the meal is nearly finished they will swap back.
I noticed recently if I give them both bits of chicken or ham as a treat, occasionally Sabbath (the cat I've had...
This made me wuite happy. Sab gave Felix a small head bath which I've heard is a sign of bonding as its a place that Felix can't normally reach, I'm hoping its progress and that Sab isn't just "basting" him lmao
I don't know about lucky but he's definitely quite a happy little soul (and a trouble maker, he keeps pestering his new brother to play).
It almost breaks my heart to think of the three months he was in a lonely pen at the rescue waiting for adoption and makes me so guilty that I didn't try...
Cats like different water intakes. I've been told a cat doesn't need to be taking in a huge amount if they're fed mostly a good wet food (as that takes care of a lot of hydration issues). My black cat Sabbath is a huge fan of wet food and only gets a little dry food at night, his water in take...
This is just it, if you don't respect a cat's needs, how can you expect the cat to respect your home or the food and items around you? Cats are like babies for goodness' sake, they need to be cared for in much the same way. Feeding them bacteria laiden water that's been lying there for days...
I do not agree with declawing. I have a friend who had both his cats declawed because they're indoor cats but I just don't agree with the idea of that, it's cruel to put them through pain just because they want a scratch free house. That'd be like the equivalent of inviting someone to live...
