Hi guys, so last week, I noticed a few black specs around Dinah's mouth, which looked sort of like flea dirt but were mostly-hidden in any pictures I tried to take. She's been sort of grumpy over the past week as well, but I attributed it to getting used to the kitten - he's been wearing her...

Sorry, can I just ask for clarification: did you get him two weeks ago, or when he was two weeks old? Also, how/why did you adopt a kitten who wasn't weaned?

Hickory's eyes are beautiful! I hope Binx's settle into a similar color - they're sort of golden/olive-y right now. Here's some of him in his favorite sleeping position: upside down with his paws in the air. His fur has gotten much silkier in the last week, although there's still kitten fuzz...

Hi there! So, cats aren't really pack animals the way dogs are which means they have yo be carefully introduced. It's not a good idea to put them in one room together and let them 'work it out' because cats are territorial. They will defend their home/territory from intruders, and that includes...

@kashmir64, thank you very much! Dinah always reminds me of those fluffy kittens in Victorian food ads. I'm curious to see what color Binx's eyes will be - right now they look greenish-orangish-yellowish but still kind of murky. @abyeb, hi again, and thanks! I probably will stick around, I've...

I think it's probably a good idea for you to keep your new kitty in a small, safe place while she adjusts to her new home rather than letting her have the run of the place and keeping your resident in the bedroom? That way Pause isn't losing his territory, and she has a much smaller, less scary...

Dinah's the pickiest cat I've ever had, and the one kind of wet food she'll eat without me having to coax her/trick her is Fancy Feast Flaked Tuna & Mackerel.

He is so cute!! He looks like a little real-life Figaro. Love it.

Hi, I joined a year and a half ago, after getting my first kitten (as an adult) Dinah and forgot to say hi? Then I sort of forgot about this place, but came back after I'd been considering getting a second kitten for a while and needed some advice! It all worked out wonderfully (and quickly)...

Congratulations!! I hope the introduction continues to go smoothly!

I just did this (and posted the same kind of thread about being worried - my first cat is also my best friend). My cats are both younger than yours - Dinah is an almost 2-year-old territorial/kinda high strung female and Binx is a 3 month old neutered male. I was super worried about Dinah...

Do you have toys that make any noise? When I can't find one of my cats, I'll shake a bag of food or one of their noisy mice/wand toys and usually they'll come out from somewhere to investigate the noise. This may not work if she's still shy/hiding though. Also, I'm not sure where you live, but...

How old is your kitten? Does she cry when you aren't holding her or she can't see you? I have a very young kitten currently and he gets lonely very quickly because he's just a baby right now. Maybe your kitten is missing her siblings?

Ouch! Dinah likes to sit right next to the tub and make trilling noises the whole time I'm taking a shower. If I have the door closed she'll stick her paws under and meow until I'm done. After I'm out she likes to serpentine around my ankles and then be picked up so she can sniff my...

Thanks for all your advice!! Last night Dinah came in and touched noses with him and sniffed him while I was playing with him in the bathroom, but I left the door open. She growled a little and then wandered off. This morning, I took him out and distracted him with her favorite wand toys. She...

I've got a 2 bedroom apartment, with the bathroom accessible through the bedroom with a door that clicks shut. It's a jack-and-jill. The second bedroom is off limits, because my roommate loves cats but is super allergic. Dinah hasn't been in it, ever, so she doesn't consider it part of her...

Thanks for the info! That makes sense actually, she's very talkative when playing, too. Makes lots of little trilling noises when she's hunting or if I've gotten up and she's not finished yet. And thanks! I lucked out - she can be a little high-strung sometimes but her little face and her...

I tried that with one of the blanket's he's been sleeping on, and she didn't growl at it, she just seemed to avoid it altogether? Like she didn't really notice it was in the room. On the other hand, he slept curled up on her sherpa blanket for at least part of the night last night, as it was...

Hi guys: just wanted to give an update! 2 days ago, I adopted a 4 month old black male kitten from the no-kill rescue near my house. I haven't come up with a name yet, but Felix is a front-runner, and a lot of people want me to call him Binx. He loves playing, and is extremely affectionate...

Hi! So Dinah's a 1.5 DLH and for most of her life I figured she was mixed with a Ragdoll or something because of how fluffy she is, and the fact that she's got such long, super-soft fur but basically doesn't shed. Her eyes are also huuuuge - my roommate refers to her as a little alien most of...
