He doesn't get brushed as often as he should because he attacks the brush if he gets any matts we trim the fur, he seems to take care of it pretty well himself most of the time!

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
daw hes pretty. i had a lovely fluffy cat a few years ago. she was a rescue, so i wasnt sure of her age, but i had her for three years before she started having health problems. turns out it was feline lukiemia. we made her comfortable for as long as we could, but i came home form school one day and she was shaking and crying and i just couldnt stand seeing her in that state anymore and took her to the vet to be put to sleep twas a sad day indeed.

None of you have met my Tonks, but she is absolutely tiny, about half the size of the cats my neighbours have, she's never really got any bigger from when she was about seven or eight months old. She makes enough noise for about six cats!

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
I went to the RSPCA today to choose a kitten who I shall be collecting on Saturday. I took a few photos while I was there and thought I would share them here
The kitten I am adopting, going to name her Tallulah
A teeeeeny tiny kitten, who kept falling over her own feet but wasn't up for adoption as she was too young to be away from her mum even though she was on her own

Sockscats!! She will probably be totally mental, black and white cats seem to be. Especially ones with socks and moustaches.
Also that tiny kitten is so cute I want to eat it.

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
She is getting on ok I think, my other 2 cats aren't too impressed with her at the moment but they have only seen her for a couple of hours at the most since yesterday. She wants to be friends with them and they keep telling her off for bouncing about. She gave one of them a kiss on the nose and the look of disgust she got back was quite amusing

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
this exactly. my tux cat is a nut ball. lol. in other new, i bought him an adorable new collar, white with little black skullsand cross bones on it. its the breakaway type, and he came in today with it missing. sigh. i guess thats a good thing though because it means he must have gotten hung up on something and that would have been a bad situation had it not been a break away collar. either that or he just got smart and figured out how to take it off. so now i have to go get him new tags and a collar. little devil.Sockscats!!

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
She is a bit mental, but really quite well behaved and keeps her claws in most the time when she is playing and seems to have chosen a favourite toy already which is a bright pink sparkly mouse. She also likes to sit in shoes!

She's a beaut, she has so many whiskers! I wish mine were still kittens, the skittishness and mentalness gets more annoying when they're fully grown cats haring around the house at full speed.

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
She tends to have a mad hour running up and down and playing then has a snooze. She is also sleeping at night quite well thankfully! Never had a cat from being a kitten before, they have always been at least a year old so the small-ness of her is entertaining

Pic spam time again
Snoozing in her kitty igloo
Walkies
Had to get her a harness so I can take her for little walks around my garden as she keeps mewing to go out and since she is 3 1/2 months old now I obviously don't want her going off on her own.

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
Has anyone here integrated a kitten into a home with an adult cat?
Abby is 2 years old and quite timid. She used to live with 2 other cats (her siblings) but they ganged up on her a bit because she was the smallest. Reuben is a 10 week old kitten and he's very confident and energetic, but also very sweet and affectionate. He came from a foster home that had 12 cats so he's very happy to be around other cats. He also seems totally unfazed by the change in surroundings and has just been clambering all over me and purring.
We have him shut in one room at the moment with his bed, food, litter tray and toys but he mews at the door a lot so I find myself going in and getting him out for a fuss. Abby hasn't really come downstairs since he got here 5 hours ago. She's not scared, she's sitting rather nonchalantly washing herself right now. But she won't come downstairs and that's where her food and litter tray are! The kitten isn't allowed in the room she uses for that stuff, I'm trying to keep it as her territory for the time being.
Does anyone have any advice? Should I move Abby's tray and food up here for now or should I leave them down there to encourage her to go down?
EDIT: It would be rude of me to post here without posting kitten pics!

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
There's some info further back about introducing cats. He is such a cutie
I'm sure they'll be getting along fine soon. Let us know how it goes! A baby sibling is STILL on the cards for Quorthon even though he's two now.

Re: "Cat Chat" - The Crazy Cat Lady Thread!
That is basically what I have done with Tallulah. I already had 2 old lady cats (they are 14-15 years old now) and at first they weren't to impressed with her. They aren't scared as such, more wary as she keeps trying to make friends with them and they aren't so sure. Have got to the point they will give each other nose to nose kisses though and still get the occasional hiss but that just seems to be the big ones telling her not to try anything, other than that they are quite happy to be in the same room as her.
Her personal food, water and litter tray are in my bedroom at the moment, mainly so the other 2 can have their food and litter tray where they have always been and so at night she is in my room with me so she isn't constantly trying to play with them. She is quite well behaved for a kitten anyways, except for the odd curtain climbing she doesn't really do anything else that is naughty (she has fallen down the toilet once but seems to have learnt from that) Oh, also have made sure she has her own bed and toys to try and encourage her not to use their beds as she keeps trying to steal Rosies which Rosie does not seem impressed by at all. Also got her a scratch post, she had one in the pen she was in at the RSPCA and we noticed she was using it so got her one and she is the only cat I have ever had that actually uses one.
