    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Yes i think the baby gates is a good option. And I'll have a look at the links and products you posted, thank you for those. I play with her for about an hour a day, sort of 10 - 15 minute playtimes. I'm working from home most days so I keep looking in on her as well but conscious of giving...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    I know a 2 bed apartment may sound like a small area but it's a big apartment with 2 huge cat safe balconies where I keep each litter box & they can access those through a cat flap. Thank you for the advice but I want to give it more time and as explained even if I didn't want to give it time re...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Sorry for all the panic attacks! :lol: I've only ever been a cat mum to Olly - even though I grew up with pets both cats and dogs - usually one of each in our home. I hadn't actually had a pet for years though before Olly, But I'm so glad I found this forum. You've all been really encouraging...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    So there's still a chance? I'ts actually just over 2.5 months I've had her but that makes me feel better :) The other thing is that I have Mia on her own in a room most of the day (not ideal for any cat I know) and Olly was used to wandering into that room and the others whenever he pleased...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Sorry didn't explain well. He charged at her and that's why she ran under the chair. I did actually try to re home her last week as I couldn't see things improving. I posted on 5 Facebook pages and there were another 8 or 10 after my post and more before all on the same day,a lot of those were...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Mia shot out of her room and was running around the living area quite excitedly. Olly ran towards her hissing and she backed off under a dining chair. Olly had his claws out and swiped at her about 6 or 7 times, growling and hissing all the time. Not sure if he caught her but she seems ok. I...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Mia managed to run out of her room just now and Olly went mad. He was hissing and swiping at her quite heavily. I got scratched in the process as I picked her up he continued to try and jump up growling, swiping and hissing and I've got lovely marks all down my leg! This isn't going well at all...

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    Thank you! It is stressing me out a bit but things seem a tiny bit better lately & I'm sure they will at least accept each other but hopefully they'll become friends. I'm feeling more confident this week than last week & the support on here is amazing x

    Introducing new kitten to my cat

    They're so bossy aren't they :lol: I'm more nervous than the kitten, she isn't that phased by Olly and at times tries to go for him (through her carrier)! I've been bringing her into the living area the last few days & yesterday I had one of those toys on a string & both were playing with it...

    Kitten diarrhea on anti biotics, probiotics, nothing helping

    Hi Yes I did wonder if the antibiotic might be making the diarrhea worse. With the food we can't buy anything like Science diet I/D for instance in pet shops here it has to be prescribed by a vet. So I'll check with him next time I visit. And yes the PCR test is one of the things the vet has...
