nicole asked: My older grumpy cat (12 years) and my younger loving, but protective, cat (2 1/2) years got into a tiff last night. Since then, my older cat hisses and growls whenever the younger cat walks by. How do I mediate and rectify this situation? I feel so bad for both of them.
Any advice would be helpful.

Alexis asked: My parents bought this new cat water fountain for our cats to help them drink more water. However, I haven’t seen them drink out of it and I’m worried they aren’t getting enough water. Yes, the water does go down and we have to fill it but the water is near a few windows where the sun is so I’m wondering if the water is just being evaporated. So how can I tell? Sometimes I even wonder if they even LIKE the cat water fountain.

MiMi asked: We’ve been feeding our cats friskies dry food since we’ve got them a year ago. And we also feed them friskies wet food. Well about 2 months ago we stopped the wet food. Just recently we started them back up on it. Our oldest cat hasn’t shown any signs of diarrhea, and both of our cats are indoor cats. Could changing their food like that be the cause of my youngest cats diarrhea problem?

Ellie B asked: Cats are particularly sensitive to pine oils because they lack an efficient liver enzyme system to detoxify them. Why do cat litter manufacturers use pine in this case?

Nani asked: my daughter is moving back home with her 2 cats - age 1 1/2 years. My 2 cats (age 10 years) used to be her cats when she lived here, but she left them when she moved away 2 years ago. Whenever she comes home, the cats here love her up, cuddle with her and accept her - even with her new cat smells.

Elizabeth asked: I have two cats(well actually one cat and one kitten)and sometimes when they are in the same room they look at eachother and I wonder if they are talking to eachother. Do they have some sort of non-talking cat language?

fox asked: I understand that some cats have a gene that makes them responsive to catnip, while other cats lack this gene. Since we were told that our two cats are siblings, we would expect the same reaction to catnip, yet the female loves it and the male is indifferent to it. Is it possible that related cats have different reactions, or is it more likely that they are not siblings? Curious to know what multi-cat families have experienced. Thank you!

Bluebeard’s Wife asked: I think if you have up to 5-6 cats and you live in a large house, that’s ok. I think it’s ok to have even 10 cats, if they are mostly outside cats and you live in a rural area. But what about 10 cats in a small apartment? Or 20 cats? Or 100 cats?
