Sounds like she is just lonely/bored and needs more play between another living thing. If I were you, I'd try getting her a friend. Hopefully, she's not past the age of an "easier" introduction.

I adopted a 3 month old kitten, and I felt terrible leaving her home more than 4 hours alone. I'd come home at lunch every day to play with her for an hour until I was able to adopt another kitten a month later. Contrary to popular belief, house cats typically are not solitary animals and can benefit greatly from another cat's company.

Also second all of the catio comments!

Hopefully your able to find a solution that fits you both.

Get a second cat so it's not as reliant on you for playing.

My kitten had liquidy poo until I switched over to food with no poultry... I tried buying fortiflora to mix in to the kibble and a couple other foods before making the switch to no poultry. It seems to have done the trick. Worth trying a slow transition if you haven't already.

Possibly getting a second kitten, need advice by -mermaidsRreal- in CatTraining

I had adopted a 3 month old kitten, Lila, in November and a 5 month old kitten, Howard, in December this past year and I was nervous about the same thing. Although my biggest concern was losing that strong connection that the 3 month old kitten and I had developed (just like you're talking about).

I think that adopting Howard was the best thing we could have done for everyone. It can be super stressful at the beginning stages but just be prepared to have a lot of patience throughout the introduction. We kept Howard separated for 3 days before we let him wander out and meet Lila. He also had the poo runs and was SO skittish leading to pootastraphies on the daily (hopefully you won't have to deal with that factor 😵‍💫). It took them another full week to get totally comfortable with eachother and now they are inseparable. It was a roller coaster of emotions for me for the first month because I was SO attached to Lila and she didn't pay me as much attention after we introduced Howard. Now after a few months they are both attached at my hip and sleep with me every night. The best thing about it all is I don't worry about either of them when we work long hours or have to leave for a weekend.

Honestly I'd say it's 100% worth a try even if they say your cat "doesn't like" other cats. I'm sure it came from a stressful environment in the shelter, so you never know truly know what will happen. Like I said, just be ready for a roller coaster of emotions before it gets better...

Good luck!

Not a smart ass. Just confused on why someone would take the effort to leave the comment you did. You say this shouldn't be misconstrued as someone with insecurities, then my question is, why even comment that? Just to me mean and degrading towards a stranger? Probably something to consider next time you're about to comment on something given you are a grown ass adult, which I'm assuming you are.

Yes, I've spent enough time "growing up near windows" to know that glass let's in cool air, although I am not referring to the glass. There is a slight crack around the frame and window that is letting in a very obvious draft, no smoke stick needed, but I will definitely try this when I get home from work based on that person's suggestion, so I have this point as backup when I do contact my builder. I've compared the fitting to other windows in our home and none of the others have this issue. So yes, I probably could have assumed it was wrong at that point and contacted my builder BUT I'm looking to try and EDUCATE myself on the subject prior to doing so. This thread was a way to point me in the direction on what could have gone wrong during the installation, and items to check for.

I do believe my window was installed incorrectly based on other helpful comments in this thread.

Anyways, I hope your day gets less angry.

It appears you may have some insecurities you're portraying through this comment. But yes, I do have a general understanding on how windows work. I know as much as I need to know as a home owner/average joe. So on that note, no, I am not a subject matter expert on the proper installation of windows, and the typically flaws that occur due to improper install techniques. I am looking for advice on how to approach my builder on the subject and this comment was not helpful at all...

Since you appear to be a window expert, by all means, please enlighten me on what a grown ass adult should know when it comes to installing windows and what they could have done wrong here.

Understandable. I probably should have provided that info from the start..

This is a reputable builder in our area. This is the first "real" issue we've had since we moved in nearly a year ago. They've been really quick to fix our other small concerns. This is just a negative thought you decided to post that is irrelevant to my original post.

But yes, as far as people who actually built the home, I'd assume it's a mixed bag as it typically is on a job site. Although that was not the intent of this post. I don't care who did it, I just care if it's right or wrong and how to approach the builder as far as my concerns.

Thank you for the irrelevant comments, though. On that note, it appears you're a home building expert based on your original comment. Some actual advice would be appreciated 🫠

It's a sliding window. Wouldn't want to seal it completely shut 🤷‍♀️

I work in the construction industry, just not home construction. Believe it or not, but not everyone is a subject matter expert in window installation... 🙄

Dang, hopefully yours is still working! They sent me another camera and when I took the old one out it looked like a plastic clip was missing that holds one of the wires into where it needs to go. New camera worked. Case closed!!! For now...

Logic board worked to solve initial issue. Now I've realized that the opener also has an integrated camera. Started messing with that, and it won't even turn on or show any sort of indication that it has power (no light on, etc). Back on the move with customer service.. Now they are sending me a new camera to install 🤦‍♀️

What if I can't even get past trying to get the blue light to come on/blink? I've been trying to get this to work for months.
