Brent W asked:


I have 2 kittens(3-4 months old?). I just adopted them last week. They want to run & hide all the time, especially in the morning. They hide under dressers, beds and in very small places for hours.
They are very sensitive to sounds & are afraid (even afraid of the furnace sound).
I have to find them & get them every time they hide.
I don’t want them to hide continuiously when they are older.
Is there any way I can make them more adaptable & less afraid?

Training my cat - how do I get him to roll over?

Ramses II asked:


I have been training my ginger tomcat Jonathan for the last 4 months, and we’ve mastered all the basics: Sit, Lie Down, Stay, Wait, Heel, Beg etc etc. He even does tricks.

But he won’t roll over, not even for his favourite treat of Friskies.

Any hints, is there a physical reason why a cat is so stubborn?
And yes, he is toilet trained.
Jonathan is very trusting and rolls over to display his belly of his own accord, but not on command, which frustrates me.

Andrea<3 asked:


I got a new cat today and he is 2 years old. And I have a 5 year old dog. The dog has been around cats a lot but we haven’t had a cat in like 4 months but at first the dog chased the cat. But now the dog is trying to be friendly but the cat keeps growling and hissing at it when it gets close. Well the cat has never ever been around dogs so how can I make them be more friendly with out them killing each other?
