Hello, I recently adopted a female stray cat about 3 months ago and a male cat about 2 weeks ago. They are both about a year old. The female was spayed about a...
Hi, In all probability it is most likley your girl spraying as she was there first and the boy has invaded her home,also she has only just been spayed-it takes...
Thanks Jayne. I will work on making them more comfortable together. I hadn't thought of that. They won't come up on my lap at the same time but the girl won't...
Hi Stephenie, Try spraying the area she sprays-with a pump spray filled with Lavender and Lemon Balm-this should act as a detterent and put her off. I also...
I adopted a stray about a week ago. When I found him, he had teriible matting in his long fur and runny nose. The vet prescribed antibiotics and the cold is...
Does anybody have any advice for me? How can I prevent my indoor cat Treble from running outside? Treble won't keep a collar on - otherwise I'd use the...
Deena, I don't mean to sound snide, but have you tried keeping the door closed? And the windows? What's 'driving him to roam' is a human who isn't exhibiting a...

I do keep the doors and windows closed, but he had gotten out when I opened the door for the dog to come in. I always pick the cat up and hold him when I let...
I have three cats, a 10 yr old Tabby, 8 year old Bengal, and 1 1/2 yr old Bengal (only 2 generations from the wild). The young wild one is very active about...
I've never deluded myself into thinking I was in charge where the cats are concerned. At best I've learned to outsmart them and make them think they're ...
Thanks so much Violet! That is good advice. I am going to put a catnip toy right by the door for me to try that. Deena ... From: cinnyjnewcomb@... To:...
I submitted this post last month; with no replies! An update: I have been keeping a little water in the tub overnight, and he has begun to use the litterbox,...
I would bet that he will gradually get use to the litter box - hard to say what life was like before you took him in. I have 3 cats and occasionally one will...
hi, i'm new to the list but thought i'd share my experience... i had a male, around 3-5 years old then, that i adopted after he was abandoned at an apt....
hi! I was searching for an online group where I could discuss cat behavior and found this one! I just adopted a 5 year old long haired boy named Bodhi from the...
Give him some time to adjust. I have 3 cats (and 2 litter boxes) and when the one female feels harrassed by the kitten, she pees right next to the box - and...
hi all - I guess this list is pretty quiet! Caroline, thanks for your response. I have decided to give my new cat some time to adjust. I got him a second box...
again, give him time. I've not heard of a cat poopin' outside the box - since they are so clean. Maybe he thinks he's outside and can just go anywhere. If...
He's got lots of little spots he likes to sleep, so moving the bed is no big deal. Yeah, I guess I have to give him time... It just upsets me. Thanks for your...
... I'm new to this list too , and I think you are right that it's not so active. Have you tried putting him gently in the box and moving his paws in a...
hi! Thanks for the response! Yes, I really wanted to get an older cat. I have a soft spot for them. I'm sorry to hear about your stray, the peer. Have you ever...
... I haven't heard of that, but I'll check it out. I'm willing to try anything! He's ok right now ... it seems like some stressful event sets him off (this...
Hi Charlee and everyone, I am about at my wits end. My cat peed on my bed yesterday, right up by the pillows and also pooped in the bedroom. I just dont' know...
Andrea ... it looks like you and I are the only people on this list !!! My problem child Winkie ... yes, he has peed on my bed SO MANY TIMES. When we first...
Andrea - i volunteer for the cat behavior department at the SF/SPCA and I have some information I can send you about inappropriate litter box/elimination...
... Can you send them to me too? If you've been reading my replies, you have seen that my problems with peeing are far from over!!! Thanks!! Charlee...
What have you done to deodorize the bed and the other places the cat has peed. There are enzymatic products at the pet store that remove the small so the cat...
... the cat has ... Can you recommend a specific brand? I tried something called "Dumb Cat" that was enzyme based, and it didn't work at all ... just masked...
Andrea, Please don't give up on your adoptee! I have had the same problems with a couple different cats that I acquired as strays. Did you rule out physical...
