I have been commanded to post my cat in this thread.

This is where he learned to hang out while I was playing Fallout 4 constantly.

His name is Sully and he is adorable and a buttface.

a quite endearing behavior among cats, to sit next to the monitor and stare at you. quite common as well. it's a way of saying "loving pet me you rear end in a top hat"

Violence has its own economy, therefore be thoughtful and precise in your investment
Wait until they learn to sit on your keyboard while you're trying to use it. Bonus points if its a laptop.

I choose to find this behavior endearing personally. I'm a bad and over-indulgent cat daddy. :smith:

Chicken of Tomorrow seemed to have success with feeding her cattery meats instead of cat food for pure calorie intake.

Just got a call from Charlie's owner. He's suffered a probable stroke, barely walks, and hasn't eaten in a while. They're taking him to be put to sleep tonight. She wanted to make sure I knew since I'm the only person aside from her that Charlie didn't hate with a violent passion.



RIP buddy. You were a good roommate.

try cooking some unseasoned turkey or chicken breast. my cats always go nuts for turkey (not the deli kind - it's full of salt). or salmon

or just pick out several different brands of canned from the cat food aisle & see which ones she likes

He's been sickly for a long time, so I can't say that I haven't seen this coming. 13 is too young for a cat to go, but he still had a good life.

Gonna remember the good times, like when he put a neighbor in the hospital when she came to catsit because he didn't like her being on his turf. Good times...

And on that note, guys, I think Abel is a bad cat.

sounds like he's stressed/overstimulated. maybe he is just not cut out to be with other cats? sometimes cats don't work out for behavior reasons and that's okay. you shouldn't feel bad if you're considering rehoming him or anything. have you talked to a vet about his behavior issues?

The boys go apeshit nuts for the feline dental food that we keep around as 'treats' from the vet, mainly because one nugget is insanely high in calories. They're like the deep-fried peanut butter cup twinkie donuts for cats, apparently.

Seriously watched Beans mug Moo-cow for one, so now they get them in separate rooms, just in case.

Funhilde, try giving them both (but mostly Elmer) theanine. You can get some cat treats with it, or you can just buy a bottle of capsules from a health food store and crack them in. The recommended dose is 25mg twice a day.

It's an anxiolytic that comes from green tea. Works well for stressed and angry kitties, in my experience.

And on that note, guys, I think Abel is a bad cat. I'm really stressed and I couldn't sleep at all last night. We re-isolated him a week ago to re do the introduction. He spent a week completely isolated, and this week we're putting up a grated barrier in the door while we're home to expose them to each other again. Then every night I try to let him out for an hour or two and isolate the other kitties. Sunday I night, Kitty was pawing to get out, so I thought maybe she needed to use the box. I let her out, and he ran up to her, sniffed her butt, then slapped her. I separated them again immediately, but that's the kind of behavior I'm getting from him. Last week Hek was loafing in the living room, and Abel cornered him twice and started beating on him.

Last night I was petting him, since he hadn't gotten much attention all day, and with no warning at all (no ears back, no tail flapping, no warning bite, mid purr) he flipped over, grabbed him arm and bit HARD. Not even a warning bite. What the hell man?

Not a bad cat, just sounds like he's jealous which is understandable. I had this problem introducing OC. Giz hated him, and I mean hated. And it was because up to that point giz had been #1 cat (as far as attention), and OC was suddenly getting a lot of attention from me. Giz viciously attacked him several times over about a year and a half, then the fights petered out, although they still exchanged dirty looks constantly. Giz wasn't/isn't a bad cat, he just feels he deserves a certain amount of attention and if that attention is being diverted to another cat, he gets mad. I had to give him more attention than usual from that point on and after the fights ran their course everything calmed down. That said, OC was a big cat who could handle himself (although he was completely gentle & non-aggressive by nature).
