Hi everyone….pls help, I’m going stir crazy!

In March of this year, I got two new kittens. A pedigree Ragdoll, and a ‘sister’ for him, a little rescue tabby.
Having homed strays and adopted rescue cats before, I felt I was doing my bit by homing her (as opposed to getting a 2nd pedigree), and giving her a ‘second chance’.

I KNOW it’s only been two months..but the little girl is breaking my heart…I just CANNOT bond with her. Her history was that she was previously homed (adopted as a tiny kitten, then returned, apparently because owners couldn’t cope with her/realised they didn’t want a cat, etc…) I then came in, and got her at 6months of age…..

Having done everything I can, eg. using Feliway products, following behavioural advice on the Feline Advisory Bureau website etc…..I just cannot help feeling let down and cheated by this little mog.

How long is a fair time to allow her to come out of her shell? 6 months, a year? Because it honestly is like I don’t have a 2nd cat.

She only eats, plays with her brother ( way out of arms reach of us) and uses her tray. No interaction with us whatsoever. And when we can approach her, she scurries away under the bed, or cowers in fear… If we do manage to hold her…God, the panic to escape!!! Is this why she was returned? I think she either had zero human interaction in her early days, or she was hit….badly, and often. On an hourly basis, I try remind myself of this, and sympathise with her….but also, just looking at her, fills me with resentment, and I want to give her back…….

I know rescue cats often do come round, but if I’m very honest, I don’t know if I have the energy, patience and time, that I once did. My little Ragdoll brings me such incredible joy, and I question whether or not I should sacrifice MY sanity &happiness to accomodate a cat with evident mental health issues. I know this sounds harsh, and I apologise…but it’s honestly how I feel. Thinking about it brings me to tears…

All I’ve ever wanted was two, really chilled, happy babies that would love their momma….and we’d all be content. I thought I could have that by getting them as kittens (I previously had adopted an 11yr old rescue mog…who had a horrific past…and he came round quicker than my little girl is now!!)

I really don’t know what to do, and would appreciate your thoughts. No snide comments either please…as this, as I’ve said, is causing me some anguish… Thanks so much

I just bought the Pledge Pet Hair Remover because it was cheap, and I wanted to try it out to clean the dog hair out of my car.

I LOVE it. It works fantastic. However, it’s disposable — once it’s filled with hair (and it’s already pretty close) I have to throw it away.

I feel like I’ve seen one advertised where you can just open the top up, dump the hair out, and keep using it. Anyone else heard of/used this? It’s not the Scotch brand one — that one has removable pads and doesn’t work the same way; it’s not really what I want.

Thanks

My kitty is acting tired and is sleeping a lot. He is hardly eating or using the restroom. I just checked inside his mouth and his gums are white. He has been tested for Feline AIDS and leukemia. The tests were negative. Can you please give me some suggestions as to what is wrong and to make him more comfortable. I will be taking him to the Vet tomorrow. Thank you in advance.
My cat is about 6 months old. He is an indoor cat and has not had any trauma that I am aware of. He is walking with his back legs sort of stiff like he is uncomfortable. When I pet him, he purrs, but he is just not acting like himself. He is just staying in his little house. He has drank a little water and some warm milk.

In California we don’t get a lot of thunder and lightning but whenever we do, it often terrorizes dogs and cats. There are some areas where thunder and lightning are a lot more usual than here, like the Midwest and the South. If you live in such an area, with a lot of thunder, how do your pets handle it? Is there anything you do to help them handle the stress? Or do they just get used to it after a while? Thanks. Just curious.

I am looking for a good quality dog bed for a reasonable price (preferably under ). My dog is a 65 pound hound shepherd mix and she is 9 months old. She shouldn’t be getting too much bigger. Does anyone have dogs this size or bigger that has found a great dog bed?

I’m asking because much of the research I’ve found online says they don’t live very long and Julius is still very healthy. The information my vet sent me home with said that 40% of cats with this can become immune to it, but I haven’t found any other sources to back that up. My friend asked me to take in a cat for her as a favor and I would like to do it, but I don’t want to get her cat sick. He’s only 9 months old. This is the second part of my question. If I do take in the new cat, what would be the chances of him getting sick. I would try to make them eat and drink from different bowls and give them different litter boxes, but I wouldn’t be able to really make the cats use what they are supposed to use. Anyone out there living with one healthy cat and one with feline leukemia?
