I absolutely love to fetch wadded up paper but even better is the plastic grocery bag that's tightly twisted into a ball! That thing can be kicked around and carried so well!

Spazzy plays fetch. But his own unique version of it. He has these mice from petsmart that he LOVES. I think he has 4 of them and I have a bag with 6 new ones in it just so when he wears one out I will have another to replace it! (so spoiled!) I will lay on the floor on my side with my head propped up on my hand and he will lay on his side about 3 feet away, I throw the mouse and he grabs it with his paws then puts it down and bats it back to...

Thanks! Yes, I honestly believe that it only happens when I get home-they both are super relaxed when I get home and for a second time last night I saw Kitty grooming Indy's head and she stopped when I noticed-it makes me wonder if maybe there is some kind of jealousy over me-but after a little bit of hissing and no fighting or chasing they both slept on my bed for part of the night, which is a big step since Kitty will only cuddle up on...

Swishing tails usually mean it's playing - if that's any help. It's how me and my son 'play fight' . He does that thing where his mouth is open a little, like he's grinning after he's just apparently 'attacked' me. When cats fight 'for real' you get real bad injuries, not just loose fur. Have they injured each other at all?

Thanks Natasha's Mom! I know we aren't the only ones but it's sooo upsetting that sometimes it feels like no one can relate either because they don't have cats or they just don't seem to care as much-like it's not an issue and they are "just" cats. They are both using their boxes though, thank goodness, but she is a lot more affectionate lately. When I first found Kitty she was very independant, which I...

Charity likes sweets. She'll steal bits of bread or cake off my plate.

so far he likes: hot dog weiners, cheese, cooked brocoli, hummus, yogurt, vermicelli (rice noodles).... I still couldn't believe he liked brocoli and hummus...

If this is a new thing that never happened before, that's great! How intriguing!! However, it is common for cats to look over your head. I guess it is a way for them to connect with you without showing aggression by looking into your eyes. Oscar used to do it to me, and I do it to cats when I want to give them non-intimidating attention.

Thank you for the advice! I guess I need to figure out a way to cover the bottom of the door somehow so he can't ruin it... thanks again

I know what you mean about thinking it only happens when you are home- I don't know if that's truly the case but that's what I tell myself to keep me sane at work And when I get home, they are always sleeping in a kitty bed or the window seat and everyone seems very peaceful. I really don't know what the best way to deal with it is. When the kittens first came home I did a slow introduction, over a period of weeks, between...
