My cat has a hissy fit when ever the other one is taken out and comes back home.

        Our cats have been together for about fifteen months now. They are both indoor cats. Molly, the oldest, is from a pet rescue and we got her when she was nine months old. Frankie we have had since he was ten weeks old and he came to live with Molly about two months after we brought Molly home. The two of them get along great and it didn't take long for them to bond. The first time we had to take Frankie out of the house was when he was getting neutered. He was supposed to come home that day but there was a problem, the vet told us he bit open the incision area and needed to stay over night. The next day we picked up Frankie and he had the cone of  embarrassment on which made him very nervous. We got him home and let him out of the cage and he ran like mad, bumping into things and getting stuck because of the cone. Well I guess this freaked Molly out, Frankie not only looked different but smelled different too because of the hospital he had just spent the night in. Well Molly wanted nothing to do with Frankie and would hiss whenever he got close. Even after we took the cone off Frankie, Molly didn't want him near. This went on for a few days and we started to worry. Then, little by little, Molly started to come around until they were back to normal. 

         About a month ago, from the date of this post, we took Frankie to get a sanitary cut at the groomer. He was out of the house for about five hours. When he came home, Molly started again with the hissing and swatting and Frankie. This went on for a few days until they were back to normal and we figured it was because of the odd smell Frankie had after his bath ad cut.

          Then last week, we had to take Frankie to the vet for routine stuff. We were back in the house about three hours later. Molly started up again, she would hiss but no swatting this time. We couldn't believe it, these guys are normally best friends, they play together and sleep together no problem. It seemed to take the better part of three days for Molly to come around. Frankie will run up to her in play but Molly would hiss and walk away. They are better now but still not at the point of playing together like they used to. I'm sure that will happen soon, the past being my guide.

           We were wondering if others have had this experience. FYI, Molly is a maincoon mix and has only stayed in cages since the time she was rescued as a kitten, approx. 10 months. Frankie is a siamese. Frankie , we were told, is 100% siamese according to the back street breeder we got him from. We never got to see the Father and we were promised papers on Frankie but after two attempts, we gave up. The papers are not important to us, we are not doing anything with him that requires papers. He is just part of our family

and we love him and Molly very much.

Home Alone

There is a social media website for us pets.    mypaws.com ,,,, You can find us on it.

We will be leaving our two cats alone for the weekend for the first time. Our friends Pat & Frank are helping us out by coming over to feed and take care of our cats needs while we are gone. I'm sure we will be a little nervous. They are in good hands.

Lightweight Clumping Litter is a Little Sticky

             I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year 2014. Time sure passes quickly. The country is experiencing some heavy duty weather. Cold weather stretches all the way south to Florida. Our cats have sure perked up a bit more from the chill.
             The litter we normally use for our cats is a 35 lb. container of clumping litter. We love it and the cats seem to also. One day we came across a sale for a lightweight version of the same litter, so we gave it a try. At first everything seemed fine. A few days later, we noticed the litter was sticking in and around our cats paws and it was difficult to remove. This will be the last time we use the lightweight version of this litter. We are wondering if others have experienced the same situation.
