Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my cat is sick?

Watch for changes in eating, litter box habits, or energy level. Any sudden change is worth a call to your vet.

Is it normal for cats to meow a lot at night?

Some cats meow more at night from boredom or hunger. Older cats may also meow more due to vision loss or confusion.

How do I introduce two cats to each other safely?

Keep cats separated at first, then let them sniff through a closed door. Slow, short visits work better than rushing face to face contact.

What should I feed a stray cat I just found?

Plain, unseasoned wet cat food works well for a first meal. Avoid milk, since many cats cannot digest it well.

How long does it take for new cats to get along?

It can take anywhere from a few days to several months. Patience and slow introductions usually lead to better results.
