i have this kitten whos about 9 months old now, who will just not potty train, iv had cats all my life so i know how to potty train them but this new one is taking longer then normal. iv tried every trick i know but its just not working!!.. just when i think she's doing good she pees on my bed or my stuff...i've also noticed that she only pees on something myself or fiance have worn recently..does that mean she needs more attention?? iv had her from about 2 weeks after she was born so im all she knows aother then my fiance... i work from home currently so she spends all her time running around my house or next to me..she follows me everywhere..i'v tried repelents to punishment (being put on the patio or a strong telling of NO). She does still use the litter box and thats whats so confusing..at times i see her run out of the house onto the patio to use it and other times she'll run in my closet or go on my bed (yuck by the way)..

Now I know that they are not naturally chummy, but is it possible for the kitten to learn NOT to try to eat my rabbit?
For now, the rabbit's locked up in his cage, but I'd like to let him out as I've always done. I just know the kitten would LOVE to "play" with him...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

One of my cats is more like a dog. He comes when you call him. He runs to the door when you get home. He loves to play in water (including the shower). He doesn't mind being rolled around and wrestled with like a dog. He's as big as a dog.

Does your cat act like a dog too?

As soon as he was old enough to leave his mom I adopted him and raised him till now and he's just never done this before although he will do the other instinctive things, "covering" food, litter, stretching his claws so I'm curious as to why this behavior would start suddenly. Thank You.

The kitten is approx 3 months olds. When we picked him up we were given dry and wet food (iams) and I've tried just wet and tried heating it and I tried just dry and a combination. He just does not want to eat or drink and he is sneezing. I am not sure if I should do more ?

It not only mutilates the cat, but causes bad behaviors (like not using the litterbox) and causes trauma/stress. Why would someone want to do that to their pet when there are better alternatives that won't hurt them?

My cat, Joey, refuses to eat any type of wet food (even the most expensive ones). He will only eat dry food (any flavour). Over Xmas I really wanted him to try some fresh turkey etc - but he sniffed at it and looked at me as if to say, 'yeah right!' How do I introduce this type of food more into his diet. Is it healthy 4 him to keep eating dry food? Many thanx

My female cat isnt acting like herself.I have two cats at home,1 of them is a pure bred siamese and i dont know what the other one is.We found out our cats had roundworms so we had to move them outside for a while.Before we moved them outside,my female cat,which is the older one,was being very aggressive towards my male kitten.She has always been like this to all oher cats.When we moved the two outside,she started warming up to our six month old kitten.Now,she takes him wherever she goes,even when she goes out to claw up a tree and mark her terratory with him.They begin to sleep together and cuddle,they even rub their heads together now and then.She still gets kind of grumpy sometimes,and smacks him in the face,but other than that she has really changed.She also is alot more terratorial,she beats the heck out of other cats.Why is she acting like this...she used to hate other cats.Somone tell me if there is something i should be concerned about.

It is living in some bushes by some recycling bins.I have fed it a few times since I noticed it but it runs when it sees me. I is about 4 months old. I live to far away to go there every day What kind of organization would take it?can it be taken to a colony that i am feeding near my home every day? Its a colony of four. Three have been Traped and spayed. The last one is trap shy. Will it stay if i take it there? It would go to the vet first.Do you think the others would scare it away?

First, you have to know that as crazy as it sounds, he's doing it deliberately. It started when I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for years. I have recently quit that job, but the cat keeps pooping and peeing on the floor near the litterbox. I know he knows he shouldn't because if I am in viewing distance, he will start to and then look at me and then get in the litterbox. If he thinks I should be feeding him and his meowing hasn't alerted me to his "problem", he will use the floor. (He has been placed on a diet along with my other 3 cats and is being fed a cup a dry food twice a day) I wonder if adding more litterboxes would help, but I live in a dinky house and I can barely fit the two I have in the laundry room. I have nowhere else to put another one. I am at the end of my rope with him and hate the thought of having to get rid of him, but he is ruining the floor. I have put down newspaper, puppy pads etc...but it seems to just condone this behavior. HELP!!!

I asked my vet and he has said to try changing his food, which I have done 3 times. He is a chubby, happy, cat, but HELP! This happens AT LEAST once a day.

hiding and running away from him and overall acting strangely. I know there isn't anything physically wrong with her because I just recently took her to the vet and she had an exam and bloodwork and everything was fine. Isn't this strange?

I've got 2 lop rabbits, and my sister has a big siamese cat. Should I be worried that the cat could eat them?

2006-12-30 00:59:00 · 13 answers · asked by Yulia 4

and he seems to have settled in pretty well. He is litter trained (So easy! Love it!) but I have 2 worries about him:

The first is that he often sucks on his own leg and purrs all the while. I understand this may be because he was taken from his mum too early and it's a comfort thing. But I'm worried that he will hurt his paw/leg?

The second thing is that while I managed to get him to not see my hands and ankles as toys, he won't leave my housemate alone! As soon as she comes in he goes crazy: racing around everywhere and jumping at her with claws and teeth. It doesn't seem intentionally violent, but if I can't sort this problem, she may make me get rid of him.

Help!

Thanks for your help, everyone!!
