So about a week and a half ago, on 9/11, my apartment burned down (along with 20 other units!) While I was able to grab one cat when I initially left the apartment, I couldn't find the other one, Ollie. We left the door open and Ollie ran out about 45 minutes later when the firemen started...

Hello,  I took my ten month old tabby in for vaccinations on Thursday. He received the "Fel Rhin-Cali-Panl-Chla (I think this is distemper combo part 1?), the Feline Leukemia #1, and the rabies vaccination. He seemed a little sleepy the first afternoon but I was told this was normal. Since then...

I get GNC calming treats, just at petco. I hear there is something you can put in their wet food too if he is really nervous. Oliver does the same thing... He stalks Myla even when she repeatedly hisses at him. I was worried for the first few days, but she just runs somewhere Oliver can't go...

Are they just trying to play with her? I would try wearing the kittens out through play. I also feed my cat calming treats which seem to help her. She also has several places to hide if the young cat tries to pounce on her, which would also help in cookie's situation.

Another week has gone by and things have gone very well. Myla and Oliver are still not best buddies, but they can definitely tolerate being within a few feet of eachother. Myla sleeps on the head of my bed and Oliver sits at the foot. And often in the evenings Oliver will sit on my lap and Myla...

How long have you had them? Maybe Nikki is still adjusting to the house? It took my cat two months before she decided she wanted to let my roommate see her. 

And now Myla is sitting on the back of the couch while Oliver is in my lap. How mecurial cats are. I am hoping the urinating outside the litterbox is just due to stress. I just got Oliver a week ago (which is why I was so surprised that the cats are okay with each other already), he was neutered...

Thanks! I did take it a step back for a few feedings, but then Myla (Resident Cat) started completey ignoring Oliver so I thought we had reached the "challenge line."  I started doing supervised visits where they started getting along... Myla could sit within a few feet of Oliver. Today Myla...

Hello! I've just adopted an 8 month old male cat to hang out with my seven year old female cat. I have been slowly introducing them and recently let them mingle for a minute. The new cat seems fine, but the resident cat hisses when the new cat is near (they are fine just seeing each other.) this...

I also feel bad leaving her at home to go out with friends on the weekends or at night because I've left her home all day. Anyone else feel like this? 

Thank you for the reply!  I will definitely consider her temperament before making the final decision. I don't want to make life worse for her!  My thinking is that I know just six months ago she was living in a household with cats and dogs, possibly for her entire life, which is why I think...

Hello! If the roommate approves, I am thinking about getting a companion for my cat. I work from 8-5, and I think she gets bored when I am gone.  Some things about my cat (Myla):  -She was adopted from the shelter three months ago.  -She is seven years old.  -She is very nervous. She's just...

I adopted my cat, Myla, roughly six weeks ago. She's a very sweet kitty, but she has one 'problem area:' she pees standing up! I originally switched from a standard little box to a Rubbermaid box with a hole cut in the side, but she'd take two steps in and pee straight out the opening. And since...
