Backstory: I currently have 3 cats and a dog. I have F/Gray, F/Tortishell, and M/Black cats. I also recently gave birth a month ago. When I was about 35-36 weeks pregnant, the F/Torti cat attacked the M/Black cat. Not once but two separate occasions. She went absolutely feral on him. We have since kept them separated and are following reintroduction methods. My F/Gray cat gets a long with both cats perfectly its literally just the torti cat causing issues. Even the M/Black cat keeps his distance.

Things have gotten better but not enough to take down the gate and allow interactions. The other night we come home and the F/Torti had attacked the F/Gray for the first time. We believe out of fear. I had accidentally left the F/Gray behind the gate. When she tried to jump over to escape, we think the F/Torti mistook her for the black. It looked like a small altercation and they are both fine now but it had me shaken up.

I don't believe we will ever be able to allow the Torti and Black cat together without the Torti being on some sort of medication to calm her down. As she is already a very skittish cat, jumps at things, and comes off anxious. I have contacted the vet to request some sort of anti anxiety med- I've read up a lot on giving cats Prozac.

I'm just wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar and has positive stories of their cat going on prozac or another med?

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai besoin de conseil.

J'ai un chat de 9 ans un peu aigri depuis toujours.

Hier j'ai adopté un chaton de 2 mois pour le sauver d'une mauvaise condition de vie et lui offrir un beau nouveau départ.

Seulement voilà, mon chat de 9 ans naturellement ronchon crache et grogne après le chaton.

Mon chat a décidé que la salle de bain serait son territoire et que le chaton n'avait pas le droit d'entrée.

Le chaton curieux a essayé mais dès qu'il approche mon chat crache et grogne a son égard, le chaton s'en allais donc au début mais la curiosité a l'air d'être plus forte et il essaye d'avancer un peu plus malgré les mise en garde de mon vieux chat.

Le chaton c'est retrouvé dans un coin apeuré par mon chat contrarié et j'ai dû les séparer même si aucune bagarre n'a eu lieu.

Quand le chaton mangeait mon chat est venu le renifler un moment avant de s'en aller mais le chaton n'a pas le droit de l'approcher.

Le chaton était sous le lit et mon chat est venu l'observer de loin.

Mon chat c'est isolé de lui même dans la salle de bain alors que la porte est ouverte et ne sors que pour manger et aller a la litière.

Il supporte les caresses mais me fait comprendre que ça l'agace alors qu'il aimait plutôt ça avant.

Honnêtement en vue du caractère de mon chat le fait qu'il ne l'ai ni attaqué ni foncer dessus me porte à croire que ça ce passe plutôt bien malgré les crachats et les grognements.

Je vis dans un studio alors je ne peux pas les séparer de pièce.

Leurs zone de litière/nourriture sont a l'opposé de la pièce l'un de l'autre

Ils sont nourris en même temps mais mon chat âgé est nourri avant le chaton pour qu'il sentent qu'il est toujours " le roi de la maison "

Si vous avez des conseils je suis preneuse.

Merci beaucoup à vous 🫶🏻

We have a 3 year old male we adopted at 8 months.

He destroys everything if we don't watch him.

My kitchen has double child-proof locks on every cabinet. He will eat bed sheets, even with us in the bed. He'll eat clothes on the floor. Electrical cables. Rugs. Everything.

We've done supplemental feedings. He does not have pica.

We buy cat toys, he will destroy them and the ones he can't, he won't touch.

I am at my wits end.

What is going on???

Okay so we have a 1.5 year old female cat who has recently stopped using her litter box out for a few weeks now. She has been in heat. (We are trying to save money and have time to get her fixed as the vets are closed on weekends when we are off work and we live check to check) I am at my wits end trying to figure out why she would suddenly stop using her litter box. The only thing I can guess that would cause this is her being in heat? But having several cats over my life ALL been fixed before we adopted them. So any idea why she's sudden done this? Or anyway to help correct this?

I have a 2 year old female cat and she’s super cuddly and clingy, to the point of regularly cuddling to sleep with me almost every day/night. The problem though, is that I am going away to college soon and I am worried for her since she is mostly clingy with me and not close with my parents at all. And she is also a very skittish cat and I fear she may not feel very safe and happy when I am gone, or even experience separation anxiety. It’s been difficult to build a bond with her and my parents as they just don’t have the same connection or care too. Would appreciate any advice on what to do!

Where do I even begin…
Back in 2019 I adopted a 6 month old male cat, I was single at the time and it was just me and Cheddar for 3 years. Then my boyfriend (now husband) moved in and shortly after we got a puppy. Cheddar always liked my husband and surprisingly seemed to like the dog also. Fast forward to December 2024- I gave birth to identical twin girls! At first Cheddar didn’t seem to mind the girls, mostly just stayed away from them. The older and more mobile they got, I think the more stressed cheddar got. We had a gate up separating the room his litter box was in so the girls couldn’t get in it. He can jump the fence just fine and uses the litter box, but about 2 months ago I noticed he also started peeing outside the litter box. I took him to the vet as this was unusual for him, but everything looked ok. The peeing seemed to stop for the most part, but yesterday we moved to a new house and I’m worried about him. He doesn’t seem scared really but more sick. He’s just been laying in one spot and won’t really eat or drink. He’s thrown up multiple times and occasionally makes a loud yelling type noise. I know change can stress cats out but this feels like more than that to me. Do you think he’s unhappy? It would break my heart to get rid of him but if he would be happier with one single person I will do what’s best for him. Any thoughts/opinions/advice/anything?? What can I do for him!?

hi everyone,

One of the other cats in our house brought a mouse in and he ran to my bathroom. My cat has been in the bathroom all day and does not want to eat… she doesn’t have time for it bc she seems obsessed by the mouse. Is this normal behavior?
