My cat is a large 8yrs old house cat. She always gets wind that you want to put her in the box when it’s time for a Vet visit & runs under the furniture & will freak out when you try to pick her up. Any suggestions. I have an appt for her at 4pm today. Thanks, Roseann

I have just gotten this beautiful calico cat from the shelter yesterday with the help of some of your guys’ advice :) She’s really sweet, playful, well-behaved, affectionate and incredibly intelligent. She already understands the word "No", she’s learning the word "Inside" and she’s only been with me roughly 24 hours. I love the fact that she’s a finicky eater and she knows how to get my attention + she’s not needy nor overly vocal.
…However, I have a problem w/ her marking her territory on MY couches LOL. She keeps scratching them even though I bought her a scratching post & showed it to her. What can I do to make her interested in the scratching pole? Any suggestions??

I have a 5- yr old house cat who is very nervous & scratches and bites people, and was just wondering how to get him to calm down & be able to get along with other pets I hope to get in the future. PLEASE, NO SARCASTIC REMARKS!

First, which brand works better for fleas?
Second, can the same formula be used on cats & dogs? All my animals are under 20lbs.

Don’t they realize that cats have claws before they get one? And get a scratching post? Seems 90% of cat ?’s on here are about cats claws. Noone thinks about this when they see a cute little kitten then get it on a whim & afterwards mutilate their feet!!

I’ve recently rescued a colony of cats! All are getting along really well except for 1, who is so scared, constantly over reacts in a violent manner! She’s been in a mesh tent for a number of weeks, looking pretty comfy…many of hte kitties have spent nights lying beside the tent to keep her company. While she was in there, she’d often hiss & spit at the cats (& me at times) if we came close. It’s obvious to me that she’s EXTREMELY frightened, and when she hears a noise she strikes out without thinking. She once scratched me (very minor) & looked very remorseful immediately after. I let her out of hte tent 2 days ago for hte first time and things did not go well! She attacked a number of cats, including many that had been very nice to her while she was in there. Last night she put a claw into one of hte kitties eyes, so now she’s back in the tent. Any ideas how to get her safely mixing with the others? Only people experienced with feral cats please answer!
Em…it’s a MESH tent…so she can see the others, & they see her.
Mesh tents are much kinder than crating in my experience, though more expensive. More room for stretching and exercise, particularly if they are going to be in there for awhile!
And of course she’s fixed! I’ve rescued so many from teh street here, there is no way I would not have them desexed, that’s what causes the feral cat problems to begin with!
She was desexed within 24 hours of being trapped! And she’s known these cats all her life, they are all from the same colony and has been interacting with them through the mesh for almost 2 months.
I should have been clearer on 2 things…
1 I have lots of experience taming ferals….I’ve now rescued close to 30!
2. I’m not worried about me…she doesn’t attack me, just hisses & spits, but clearly doesn’t want to hurt me & responds incredibly well to my voice.
She’s just incredibly frightened & overreacting to some of the cats, even though they are being nice to her. I don’t think she poses a threat to me at all & despite her hissing & spitting I actually think she’s a sweety.
She loves playing…and I often involve her with play with the other kitties while the front of her tent is open…I put dangly toys inside then out to the ohters, then in, then along side of tent etc, which works well!

She is a 3 yr old girl & she has been doing this off & on for the last 3 months. Is there something wrong with her, does she need more attention? How do I get her to stop? I have a big box & have used the same litter for over a year. I immediately have to clean off the side. So I am constantly cleaning this box. It doesn’t matter if the box is freshly cleaned or if it is a little dirty. I can’t figure it out.
