Adopting An Older Cat

  • Q  What do I do if I adopt an older cat for my kitten?
  • A  Although the older cat is the newcomer, because a kitten is more flexible and adaptable, concentrate on making the older cat more comfortable and accepted. The kitten will naturally turn to the older cat for recognition. Don’t worry about your kitten becoming jealous. If he receives less attention from you, he’ll seek out the newcomer more and more.


Living With Two Cats

  • Q  Is there a possibility my cat will ignore me if I adopt another cat?
  • A  For awhile you may be neglected — so be patient. As soon as the two cats have established a tight relationship, they’ll both turn to you for love and affection.


Laundry Fetish

  • Q  Why does my male cat have a laundry fetish? He parks himself on top of my clean, warm laundry and kneads it up and down with his paws.
  • A  This is a characteristic left over from kittenhood. When a kitten nurses, he kneads his mother in ecstasy. Some cats continue this motion throughout their lives whenever they are feeling good.


Catsitter Needed Overnight

  • Q  I have adopted a senior cat, a rescue, and I plan to do a couple of over nights away. Do I need to have someone look in on her and feed if necessary?
  • A  Unless you plan to return early in the morning, I would arrange for someone to feed and tend to her comforts. You may want have a cat sitter visit her.
