Bella has been a "single pet" since she was a kitten (she’s 5 now). I just recently moved back home with my parents due to a divorce and my moms boxer (Princess) always seems to tower over my cat and make her meow. She knows she’s not allowed in my room, but she comes in anyway and puts her face right up to my cats face. Then Bella starts meowing really loud. She doesn’t try to hurt her, she just gets in her personal space.

We’ve been here for about 2 months now and Princess just recently started this behavior; the first month she seemed scared of the cat. Why the change all of the sudden? And will they ever get along?
Also, Bella never hisses or tries to scratch Princess- she just meows like she’s really aggravated.

I asked about the stray a few minutes ago and I’m also worried about fleas and other problems with bringing a stray cat into my home. I don’t want my other cat to have to suffer for it. Also, are two cats better than one (for each other I mean)? Do they share a litter box and share food and everything (after the stray grows old enough to eat adult cat food, I mean)?

I wanted to de-claw him but I remembered that it’s taking a part of the bone off and not just the claw, which makes me feel scared and guilty even thinking of having it done. My husband and I have a tendency to forget to keep up on routines; something you have to face with "soft paws". We had this HUGE scratching tower made for cats and he loved it but not only loved the post but loved the curtains and grandma’s furniture she passed down to me. I was FLOORED! Everything basically got ruined b/c he is a very rambunctious cat. We had to replace our furniture as it was torn to shreds and totally crushed me to pieces. He is actually both indoor/outdoor cat and an adult. So basically, I have an adult cat that comes and goes. Oh and it will take a lot of work to hold him down and mess with his paws!!! I don’t want to invest in something that won’t work and will be a pain in the butt but I don’t want to hurt em’ either nor can I bare to find a new home for him. What are my options?

My cat has a squashy ball, a fluffy mouse that used to move and another ball that is actually for a bird with a little bell inside. He never plays with these they are usually left on the living room floor. But if another of our cats touches them he runs over, grabs them, takes them back to his nest and sits on them. Almost like a little kid grabbing back his toys and saying MINE! Why does he do this?

whenever I lay stomach down on my bed, my cat loves to hop up and curl up on my legs, right below my butt. Either that or she’ll perch on my lower back. She’s done it about a million times. I mentioned to a friend who works at a shelter and she said that most cats love to do that very thing, because a humans scent glands are located in the lower back area and cats like to be near the owner’s scent.
Is this true?

I have 2 cats, aged 4 and 3. The older one is a model cat, perfect, The younger one is a nightmare. Ever since I have had him I have been wiating in hope that he changes but no and now I have a baby son its just making my life a constatn misery.
What can I do? Cat in question is so naughty, has destoyed my house, every room has wall paper hanging off, he jumps up places he knows he is not allowed and knocks things over, this is a seriocu cncern now I have my baby. Already he has almost hit my son on the head when he has knpcke things over, so I now I have to chut him out the front room almost all day, which I odnt want to do.
Im just at the end of my tether and am thinking I cant go on with this animal. He destroys everything like today I went to the supermarket, and put my shopping in the house then while I was getting my son out of his coat etc the cat went into the shopping bacg and ripped into a bag of moist facial wipes therefore destroying the whole bag. This is commong ie he is banned from the kitchen also as he ruins all my food, and eats things like plastic bags and rips the bin liners open. I cant even have a bin in my bed room.
He is banned from the bathroom as thats where I keep all my baby things, which he would rip open, but instead he rips up the carpet outside and I have got stuck in there, Im just terrified of what this cat will do next and really cant cope anymore.
Its really upsetting for me and means I shout a lot which is upsetting for my baby boy,
we live on a main road so i cant let them out as I feel they would not last long at all.
I just dont know what to do anymore, the though of re-homing my cat breaks my heart but what else can I do?
There are loads of cat toys, towers and scratch posts in the house and lots of windows for them to look out of.

I’m not a cat person so I’m not sure, I picked her up as a stray and she is getting spade tomorrow. Do cats get that little tunnel thing like dogs do?
Also my cat is a total spaz and although she rips things up sometimes or I have to yell at her alot, I like her being hyperactive and I was wondering if getting her spade will clam her down, I play with her everyday and I plan to till she passes which won’t be for awhile.

I was just browsing some of the answers here and someone mentioned that some people are against giving their cats catnip. Why would that be. All I’ve ever heard were good things about catnip. The main being that it aids in their digestion.

What about cooked eggs as well? Are there health benefits or anything else to know about cats, dogs, and eggs? Recipes?
