Behavior

Introducing/Integrating Cats Post in here for help and information about integrating cats. Cats are generally territorial and don't usually take well to the sudden appearance of an unknown cat in their territory. For the best chance of a successful outcome, always slowly introduce the cats to each other over a period of days. Never just plop a new cat in with other cats. To learn how to integrate cats, read Integrating Cats.	879 Posts 66 Topics	Last post by mrsgreenjeens in Re: Integrating Harlow &... on Today at 10:21:58 AM
Intercat Problems or Concerns This may or may not include aggression. Cats who used to get along, sometimes wind up developing problems. Often this occurs when a younger cat reaches the age of maturity, and tries to take over as "top cat", or from a case of "redirected aggression". These problems can be helped!	140 Posts 18 Topics	Last post by grammywms in Re: Cat relationship pro... on February 27, 2010, 05:10:16 PM
Litter Box Problems Please note that many litter box problems are due to medical reasons, such as a UTI, diabetes or kidney problems, so never automatically assume a cat has a behavioral problem when litter box problems occur!	322 Posts 34 Topics	Last post by galensgranny in Re: Mr Pippin is really ... on September 24, 2009, 07:01:56 AM

Dealing with lost, stray or feral cats (such as TNR, befriending frightened strays, rescue groups) Many stray cats make wonderful pets, if you give them a chance. Most were someone's pet at one time, but wound up homeless for some reason, having gotten lost or dumped out of their former home. Don't ignore the strays! Someday it could be YOUR cat lost on the streets and needing help.	695 Posts 52 Topics	Last post by animalangel1 in Re: Not quite sure what ... on February 09, 2010, 03:16:48 PM
