I have had cats all my life and I have never experienced this before. I rescued a himalayan neutered already and about 8 years old and he constantly is jumping on the back of my other male neutered cat and biting his neck. I know dogs do this for dominance, but I have never seen cats do this. The himalayan is low man on the totem pole, so I don't think it is about dominance. The other one just sits there and takes it for a few seconds and then throws him off, but not really bothered by it, very bizarre, glad to hear someone else's cats do this, have any thoughts on why?

Don't forget to spay and neuter! There are agencies that can help with cost.

New litter of kitties..in my CAR
So we were getting ready to go out last night and as my son is getting in the car, he sees one of the outdoor cats under the front seat...in the process of giving birth. (I left my window down after telling everyone else to keep theirs up so the cats would stay out!) I now have 4 teeny tiny kittens under my car seat. My question is would be all right to move them? Thankfully I don't have anywhere to go this morning. I've had a lot of cats over the years, but never ran into this before.
I got you beat, when little my kitties had
their own bedroom with everything their little hearts desired. Their tower, their litter box, their toys, you name it and it was theirs.
Probably would not have kids, rather kitties
Oh babies are pretty nice but then they grow up. Motherhood is not all its cut out to be. I have loads of good times with my animals.
I had the SAME problem with my kitties...on a few different occasions!
Turns out, it was ALLERGIES. The vet simply gave ours allergy shots, but you need to take him in to r/o anything further. My money's on allergies, however. This happened to two of our kitties, and at different parts of this year.
Good luck!
Keeping kitties off the counter...
I have always had good luck with this. Cover your counters entirely with aluminum foil. Tape it down. Leave it a day or two. The kitties absolutely hate the feeling of the foil under their paws and won't go back. I have even used this on the back of a sofa and it worked there too. The picture of you sitting there by the tree, in wait with the squirt gun is priceless. All this kitty talk, I'm getting ready to go to the shelter and get me another little furball of love. Wise
tips on rehoming kitties
Pleeeease go to the petfinder website--I'm not sure if this site lets you post url's, but you can find if if you search. You can look through listed local rescue groups there. In the meantime, DO NOT GIVE AWAY "FREE TO GOOD HOME" because that frequently ends up very, very badly. Either charge a fee, or do a home visit to check out the people you give them away to. Preferably ask all sorts of good questions to find out where the cat will be housed, are there other animals there (if so, spayed/neutered? up to date on vaccines? what would they do if they had to move or something and could not keep the cat?), etc.
At the very least, if you're giving the animals to your local humane society, look into that society's euthanasia policies. If you're in the south, those cats could be gassed to death, which is not a fun way to go. If at all possible and you're determined to drop them off somewhere, please drive them to a no-kill facility. Those are my tips (and I've done a lot of animal rescues and transports--I just can't do them right now). Thanks for thinking of them--lots of people don't bother....
I use Advantage 9 for my smallish kitties. I didn't think - sm
I needed flea-treatments since they are both 100% indoor-only cats living in an apartment, but every few months to a year,they'd suddenly become infested. It happened with my past cat, too. I finally figured out what was happening.
It was ALWAYS after I'd been away for a while, and the pet-sitter came to take care of them, which included grooming, etc. She's not uncleanly or anything, but she does take care of a LOT of animals all over town, because that's her livelihood. So obviously one or more of her clients had a flea problem, and it only takes one to jump from that animal, to the pet-sitter, to one of my cats to start the problem all over again.
So NOW, I apply Advantage before planning to leave them with anyone, and that seems to do the trick.
I have 2 kitties too who love sitting under the tree. However,
my question is: Where did you find the Wii????? LOL
And so will my doggie Tasha. She loved kitties. sm
Her fave was chasing them and then letting them chase her. I lost her when she was 14,too. She's been gone for 3 years but I still miss her.
If you can upload your pics, share with us your pooches and kitties!!! nm
