I adopted a female cat 1 year ago (Punky), she's 7 now and I just recently adopted another cat (Drax), male and he is also 7.

Needless to say that Punky wasn't too pleased to see Drax entering the house but she is better now.

The only thing is that it looks like she is trying to pick a fight, she runs after him and even give him good boxing punches.

So, is she playing or trying to instigate a fight ?

My cat is like 3 years old. He was abandoned and hit on the highway when he was just a few weeks old and I have had him since then. He has always been a little needy (which I understand) and like to sleep on my bed above my head (which doesn't bother me). He even "nurses" or "suckles" on my arm/hand still. All of this is fine, he only does it when he is winding down for the night and now it is mostly when the other cats are not interested in his affection.

Here is the problem, in the last few weeks, he has been getting up around 3am every single night and going crazy - climbing on furniture in my room, scratching the walls or blinds basically until I wake up. I have tried locking the cats outside of my bedroom because EVERY night this goes on for like 2 hours - but when I do that he scratches at the door and it is even louder than him meowing and scratching in the room. The other 2 cats are fine. How can I teach him to leave me alone at night?

Does touching/handling an FIV positive cat, then touching a non-FIV cat cause this to spread. I know it's mostly spread by saliva and biting, but is there any cause for concern thru human/cat/cat contact?

does he shake because he is in a unknown place or could he have been abused by the man who had him. He is the cuttest little kitten ever. but I am just worried he will never warm up to me and my home how can i show him he does not need to be afraid of me?

I have a fourteen year old cat and last year we got a kitten. We have had the kitten for a year now. Over the last six months I have periodically had a problem with the new cat poopand peeing in other places. Lately I have began to suspect the older cat. Now a third cat has shown up on my door. I am getting sick of the **** litterly and I am thinking of getting rid of all but the fourteen year old any suggestions?

She was having trouble with a horrible cat who was hanging around, although he seems to have disappeared now. We got new furniture on Saturday. After just four days she's peed on it it. We were hoping that having new sofas would break the cycle as we were getting rid of the old smelly ones but it hasn't. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been crying and panicing thinking that the only option left is to give her away. She's such a lovely little blue/cream three year old. She's been doing this for a few months now. Are there cat behavioural experts or cat psychiatrists who could help? I don't want to lose her

okay so "hunter" is two but looks like a kitten, and then we have "chase" the huge 5 year old male. they are both bengals. so i always see "hunter" nursing with "chase" and doing things that look a bit wrong. did he get taken away from his mom too early and this is the closest he can get to mom?

one of my cats came home with his arm about to fall off and it was horrifying to see the bone and the paw about to fall off. he got his leg caught in a leg trap that some person put out for other animals. since it was a miracle he came back of course we didnt want to put him down so he got it amputated off. its been 2 1/2 weeks and he got his stitches out but he's not himself. he wont socialize with us or the other cats. hes nothing like himself. his pupils are big and hes nervous i dont know what to do ((((((( for all animals lovers like me we dont let our cats outside he got out from a open door as someone was walking out))))))

The cat will be in the bedroom, and next thing I know I see kitty in the kitchen or living room just hanging out. I think to myself "didn't I just leav you behind a closed door?" Odd.

When my cat meows it sounds very coarse or not make a sound at all. It sounds like she has a faulty voice box or something?! Any opinions would be great.

my friend went on holiday and I have been going to her house every day to feed her cats. Yesterday, when I came out of her house I was literally covered in fleas, so much so that I stripped off my jeans and shirt in her driveway so I could shake them all off and get them off my body! My husband and 2 children were with me and they appeared to be flea-free,needless to say ,when we returned home we all showered immediately and washed the clothes we were wearing.My dilemma now is that she is returning from holiday in a couple of days and will be paying us a visit along with her husband and 3 kids.Does anybody know if it is likely that they will carry their fleas into our house as it is only a 5 minute drive from their house to ours? All answers gratefully received as I am going out of my mind!

I'm a proud owner of a siamese cross cat. She's only one and a half year old (sterilised) and has been with me for about a year. She seems healthy but I'm concerned if there's any signs or health problems that I should look out for..and at what age do problems usually arise?

I have a male cat and he is about a year old. He is nutured/spade/had his "manhood" removed, and i got him from the animal humane society when he was just a baby. He had a broke leg, which now causes him to be a little less physical since it gives his a gimp. Anyways....he has this super fat sack which hangs really low by his tummy...its like...sagging skin covered in fur. and it waddles side to side when he gallops around. hes a strictly indoor cat, and has a decent diet, but he may be a little over fed, he whines if his bowl is completely empty...i feed him 3 times a day...using a little sized dixie cup to measure out his food...should i get him check out...or does this happen to indoor male cats who have been nutured?

ps...sometimes i like to pet his fat sack...it is soft and gushy..ha

I have a Black and White cat... does anyone know what kind of cat it is?

I just lost mine almost a month ago, he was a beautiful outdoors tabby, greyish blackish. I now regret declawing him, and he doesn't usually stay out this long.

Just taking a quick poll to see if anyone here has lost their cat before and what happened. You can describe what happened, or fill out this form (completely!):

How old was your cat?
Male or Female?
How long till kitty came back?
Was he/she injured?
If Kitty didn't come back, did you ever find out his/her fate?
Was he/she indoors or outdoors cat?

I've already left ads over at a few neighbors' and 2 animal clinics, and searched online petfinding services, no luck.

Best answer goes to most detailed; thank you!

Theyre is a stray cat living in my garage. It is a little bigger than a kitten but it is not full grown so I know its young. I have been putting food and water out there for it but it is still afraid of me. How do I get it to be comforatable around me so I can pet it.

I have 2 indoor cats. One is about 7 years old and the other is about 8 months old (female). The older cat which is a male and is declawed.

I have 2 days to make my decison.

Whenever I go to the bathroom or take a shower both of my cats run in there with great excitement. They both become very lovey, and rub all over everything. They love to play in the toilet and watch the water when it flushes, and they like to tear up the toilet paper and disperse it all throughout the house. Because of this I try to keep them out of the bathroom, but they sneak in any chance they get. Does anyone else's cat love the bathroom like this??

My parents plan on buying leather couches and want me to get our kitty declawed. I am against this since he likes to go outside and even though I always watch him outside and never let him go far from the house, I feel it would be cruel to get his nails removed even if he doesn't need them. How can I make sure he doesn't claw the couches when they come. Do not answer with spraying him with water, we bathe him weekly and he doesn't mind it anymore.

is not doing good. He is in the vet now on IV's. He will not keep ANY food down and the vet says that there is nothing wrong with him health wise. So they don't know why this is happening. We gave away our cat Reba awhile ago and she was like his mom and ever since he has been acting strange, but not like this. We really love him and don't want to put him to sleep. Help?

I've had my cat for nearly two years now. She was given to my family through my mothers friend. She's very sweet, and gentle and smart. She's approximetly seven years old, spayed and is an indoor/outdoor cat.
We are considering adopting another cat because a coworker of my mothers is moving out of state. All we know about the cat is that it was in the pound once before. Now if we adopt this cat, the only concern is if Sabrina (my Maine Coon) will get along with the other feline. We had another cat previously that constantly fought with her and she does not like the neighborhood cats.
I understand I should follow a careful introduction procedure. I just need to know if Maine Coons are compatible with other felines? And if anyone has any tips for me that would be great too.
