I recently took in a stray cat and am wanting to introduce my cat to this new one. They have smelled each other through closed doors and they have gotten glimpses of one another when I open the door to feed the new cat in its safe room. When I do introduce the cats together, what behavior can I typically expect to see?
My current cat I have had for eight years. We had another cat before this one and he and my cat did not get along at all. She felt very threatened by our former cat, who played rough: running toward her to play was seen by her as threatening.

I have to domestic short-hair cats and a Lab/Shar-Pei mix that literally try to eat each other. My cats are 2 and 3 and my dog is 1. I had the cats first but the dog is trying to attack them. My cats will not stay sill if you pick them up. My cats are both declawed. I need them to get along or my life will be in chaos forever. Even making it so that they ignore each other is good.

Hi. We have 3 male cats that we have raised since kittens and are indoor domestic cats. We recently rescued a stray cat that is between 1-2 years old and just got him neutered the day before Christmas Eve. He is attacking our other cats by chasing, biting an scratching them very bad and he is being confined. Will this behavior change now that he’s been fixed? I don’t want to give up and have to find him another home because he is so loveable toward humans, but won’t leave our other cats alone at all and it is very upsetting to all. Thanks.

Amanda asked:


My two cats are now living with my roommate’s two cats. They have been together for about 3 months now. Just recently, they started fighting my cats. My male cat is so scared to leave my room — so he won’t use the litter box in the basement, instead he uses my bed. But the other two cats will fight him and pick on him. Clumps of fur and blood everywhere. I don’t blame him for being scared. What can I do to ease the situation?

And my roommate’s male cat keeps marking his territory. Any solution to that?

I moved in with my mother and her cat, along with my two cats. Things were fine in the beginning but now the cats just pee anywhere they want to in my basement. I have three cat boxes, one for each cat and we clean them everyday. I cleaned them once and immediately after, the cat pooped in the middle of the floor anyway. Its driving us crazy and any advice on how to change their behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Our cat just gave birth today in our laundry hamper!!!!!!!! Obviously this is inconvenient for us. We have tried several time moving the kittens to a different area but, the mother cat just moves her kittens back to the laundry hamper. I was wondering how do I move the kittens without having the mother cat move them back? Also what should I keep the room temp. at for the kittens?

I have 2 kittens from what I’ve heard, Yahoo Answers users told me they are 3 months old. Does it depend how long it takes for each kitten?

My sisters cat had 4 kittens that are 5 weeks old. We were wondering when we can start giving them kitty food. Also there are people that want some of the kittens. When would be the best time to start giving them away?

Ashlie asked:


Two of her kittens have already died from her not feeding them. The mother wants nothing to do with the two left. She doesn’t want to feed them. I have bought kitten milk and tried other things and it’s not working. WHAT CAN I DO?

Kris asked:


Help please! I have never taken care of cats before. I rescued two kittens from the rubbish bin that were approx 4 days old. I feed them kitten formula in small amounts every three hours or so. Amazingly they are still alive and growing fast. The vet says they are healthy but very small. Any suggestions on how and when I should switch to babycat nibbles? Someone recommended Royal Canin?? Do I mix them with the milk, or go straight to water? If you can, please tell me how to make this change. Thanks - Trying to be a good mother cat!
