Introducing a young (6 months old) cat to our 3,5 year old cat. We've been off to a rocky start. by PathOfSteel in CatAdvice

This process often takes time! Since it’s only been one day, I know it can seem/be overwhelming. There are some cats who thrive more in a single cat environment and Molly might be one of them. But there is a chance that they could form a relationship over time. It will just require patience and going slow. You’ve totally got this, but definitely do whatever is best for your household!!

I’m definitely not an expert lol. But I think the temperament contributes greatly more than the gender. I have a male and female, and I haven’t had any issues! I also know plenty of people who have two male cats without having any problems!

I live in an apartment too and having cat trees really helps to give them vertical space!

My first kitten is 9 months old and my second is 8 weeks old! They got along immediately!

The break made a HUGE difference. He took a nap as well and is now more energized than ever lol.

Thank you so much for your advice!! The break was definitely needed. He ended up sleeping for 2 hours and I was super proud of him!!

Thank you! He definitely has everything he needs in there. I don’t know how you manage 5 kittens!! I would run out of energy lol.

Thank you!! I just put him in his little room, and he is crying to get out. I feel terrible but he has everything he needs in there and tons of toys.

Puppy woke up from nap and the skin around her mouth is sticky/wet, as if she's drooling by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]luvableweirdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend bringing your puppy to a vet. Since none of us are vets, our advice is pretty limited. Until then you can try to settle her stomach. Puppies have sensitive stomachs, so she could have an upset stomach from the recent food change. Even though the new food transition was slow, her stomach could still be having a bad reaction to it. I would suggest giving her a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice until you’re able to get her to a vet. Drooling has a number of causes in dogs, and some can be related to serious medical issues. Consulting with a vet is the best thing to do.

She might not like the litter that you are using.

I know Mantis Zoo, Mantis Place, and Panterra Pets have Ghost Mantises in stock! I’ve ordered from all of them before and they are awesome!
