How old? Our rescue cat was indoor only during the winter as she was found nearly frozen to death and wanted no part of outside but is now heading out accompanied by either my wife or me. She's watching them but not yet attacking. About 6 months old now
Indeed. I was most weirded out by the poster who wrote that he eats his cat's #### right out of its #######. It was for saving money on litter, I guess. Note: the post has since been deleted.
Ours won't come in when called but comes in within 5 min of realizing mommy and daddy are gone. Doesn't wander too far either. My wife is paranoid about letting her out so I'm trying to get a better way to get her in when we want
Tidy Cat Litter System - its pellets, the pee drops to a pad below. Cheap and pretty solid. Would only upgrade for something automatic but thats an investment.
My stepmother taught hers to play dead, but she uses the word "noodle" and the cat just gets stretched out and then totally limp. Some are definitely trainable if you want to spend the time on it.
Just because this is a cat lovers' thread does not mean no one will catch you making wild claims like this.
Some cats will do this, but I figure they decide. My friend's cat spent about a month teaching her to play fetch. She didn't know a cat would do that.
Our car plays fetch. Unlike a dog, it's no guarantee that she brings it all the way back (she's a cat, if she wants to do something else she will)... But knows that if she brings her mouse to use the game is on.
Yes. Here's a great article on reasons why it is true:
still going strong on a one song loop.5 straight hours. My ears are bleeding.I haven't been able to listen.
My calico about 9 months old sucks his tail.
HIS tail? Male calicos are pretty rare...about 1 in 3000.Most male calicos are also sterile. If you have one that's not, he's worth some money. I've read of people paying upwards of $20k for a non-sterile calico male.
Russian blues are the best cats in the world.
Except, maybe, yours. (Just kidding; sounds like normal young cat stuff.)Sounds like he's hitting you with the "silent meow". I love the silent meow.
And congrats on the new kitten. Strongly suggest at least considering a second kitten. At shelters I've worked at, we wouldn't adopt out a single kitten alone. They can be very destructive if they don't have another kitten or cat to play with.
I do think it's true to a certain extent, but I don't think it's disastrous for every kitten to be alone. For the shelters I've worked with, the issue is that the cat is much more likely to be returned to the shelter for behavioral issues, which is not a good outcome.
Ask the vet if the kitten is or is at least partly a 'Maine Coon.' They tend not to meow like a regular cat but will yowl, chatter, chirp, or make other noises. We found a kitten a couple years ago in the wheel-well of a car in a Wal-mart that is partly a Coon. She doesn't meow but will chirp when she is excited.
She's a great cat. Just tends to be nocturnal. The upside is during the day she's all sleepy and lets the kids carry her around everywhere.Russian blues are the best cats in the world.
I've read a range of views on this subject matter. I was strongly of the get our kitty a friend mindset, my wife not so much (not to mention our landlord). As I read, it became more apparent that (1) cats are often loner type hunting animals and as such (2) often don't get along with other cats (even read articles bout cats setting up on totally separate sides of the house).
While many cats will initially have issues with other cats, (1) that is much less common in kittens, and (2) in the vast majority of cases (though there are a small number who really just need to be only cats), if introduced properly they will get past this. If not adopting two together, use the slow introduction methods that are pretty well known and settled.
