Wow!!! Maybe mine does as well. Maybe the experts are wrong? He does have good taste though..........................
It can be a way to release energy as well as you point out. It could be a way to get attention.
Maybe it is a community cat bowl were they all eat or drink from.
Yes, and it can be incremental. Where you observe and learn and then do more later on. Some vet clinics do spay/neuter for deeply discounted and even sometimes for free. And some non-profits help out as well. As you get more into it you will learn more about the options. I am guessing that group has some kind of fundraising.
I think all cats have issues at some point. It does sound like Ash has gotten a bit more mischievous. It might be a sign he is feeling more comfortable and trusting around her. He is still good to her so I take it as ok. And she seems to be handling it fine as well. Of course in the moment it can feel different.
It could have been just the weight of the curtains that finally broke it (after Ash did a little damage to it). I would have thought Frost would have been "amped up" if he did it.
Hmmmmmmmm. Doesn't necessarily sound like his arthritis is bothering him if he is jumping on the counters and you could brush him. Sometimes cats do get grumpy for some reason. He could just not like the colder temps or it getting darker sooner now. It could be so many things but it does happen. And then when we notice it we can tend to see it more often as we are looking for it. I would keep an eye on him. It sounds like he can jump fine and has a good appetite so it doesn't seem like anything obvious is wrong. Let me know if you see anything else that is different.
