I have two cats. One 7 years old and the other is 10 weeks old. I leave dry food out for both of them all day and I keep the kitten’s food in my room and the adult cat‘s food out in the hallway.
The kitten sleeps in my room at night and it seems that whenever I bring him out to play in the day time, he likes to run to the adult cat’s food. (Vice Versa with the elder cat.)
My cat is about 2 years old, and used to be so gorgeous and hyper and all over the place. Since I got her fixed, she lays around and just eats, all day long. I had her on a diet until I moved in with my current roommate. I was feeding her one cup a day and she was doing well, loosing weight. But now my roommate’s cats are 13 and 14 years old, and they’re underweight. I can not find a way to limit her eating, and I can’t put her on a weight control formula because of the other cats. Any ideas?
My basement apartment is cold, often getting down to 65. This is because of the air conditioning unit not working properly. The main floor is just right always, but the basement is too cold and the second floor is too hot.
I will be bringing a cat home in a week. What’s the best way to keep her warm in this extra cold environment?
She is a 2 year-old F4 (fourth generation) Bengal cat. This is important because it means she does not have the fuzzy under layer of fur that most cats do (the Asian Leopard Cat does not have the fuzz layer, and so the Bengals do not).
Oh. She’s not going to be there 24/7. Her foster mother says she’ll follow people around all day, and she’ll have free reign of the entire house (main floor, basement, and 2nd floor), and will likely remain on the main floor where I will be during the day. But she will be here at night every night.
My cat likes to drink water from the running faucet. But I’ve NEVER seen her drink from her water bowls (and I have 2 for her – one next to her food bowl and another one in a corner where she likes to hang out).
I’m worried that she doesn’t drink enough water. Should I be? Can cats get dehydrated?
Does anyone know how I could train her to drink from her bowls?
