Cats and Kittens

Tom asked:


I have 3 cats and I brought a 4th cat home from the animal shelter (all females). My problem is the cat from the animal shelter (about a year old) is very aggressive towards the other 3 cats. She chases them throughout the house. What can I do to stop this aggressiveness?

Dee asked:


I want a cat but i don’t know how good the shelter is or when it opens.I will give a cat a good home I just need some details.

Materhead asked:


I just adopted two kittens from the animal shelter. The boy kitten is about 8 weeks old and is litterbox trained. However, he INSISTS on using the bathtub as a litterbox. He knows where the litterbox is kept and uses it when I put him in it, but if the bathroom door is open, he uses the tub instead. He also used the mop bucket once until I turned it upside down. A friend suggested placing the litterbox in the tub and gradually moving the box into another room. Will this work though? I don’t want to give him the impression that it’s okay to use the bathtub. How should I go about fixing this problem?
We keep two litterboxes on opposite ends of the house since we have three indoor cats now. One is in the guest bedroom and the other is in my bedroom for them to use at night.

Stephen H asked:


I have a 4 month old kitten who is very spoiled, and you can tell she’s already somewhat possessive of me. I recently went to an animal shelter where I found a brother and sister kitten who are 8 weeks old that I would like to adopt. Any ideas on how to introduce two new kittens to an older kitten? She’s not that much older than them, but she is a bit of a drama queen, and was somewhat aggressive to one of my friend’s kittens one time when he brought the kitten to my apartment.

Camoss3 asked:


There is a cat in our neighborhood who is constantly spraying our porch. We have tried some cleaning spray from the pet store that simulates the pheromones so theoretically the cat will think it has already sprayed and will leave it alone, but it has not worked. Our next step is to buy a cat trap and take the cat to the animal shelter once we catch it, but I would like to avoid that.
