Got a free sample of cat food made from insects."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

We're considering getting another, but Chains is such a baby in so many ways; we want to make sure she's comfortable.
As much as we want another both for her and us, we also don't want her to be miserable or feel threatened by a new / strange cat.0 -

I put the "newer" cat, Kia, in the bathroom but within a few hours Kyra saw her. They hissed at each other. Luckily they haven't really tried to kill each other. I did try to separate them the first few days by putting them in different rooms. I think there has only been one really bad fight and that was early on.Good luck if you decide to get another one.

Those are good reasons NOT to get another cat, but we do think Chains is missing out on a lot, they used to play / wrestle / snuggle on a pretty regular basis. Whether or not that would happen w/ a new cat is unknown of course, but part of me wants to try.
Also, we went away for 10 days about a month ago, it was our first big trip since we put Alice down. As far as we know, Alice was in her life since day one, she was never really alone. She's still a little mopey / pissy with us for having gone away last month.
Stupid little moody animals...

Great suggestion, and being the dummy that I am, I never considered it.
Our neighbor across the street works at the MSPCA and fosters pretty regularly herself. She's been a great resource for us in these matters, and if we were to try the foster route would probably line something up through / with her.
She's pretty fond of our Chains, and we trust her judgment on most things animal related. I would want / ask for her input on a cat for us to bring home, only because she knows our situation and cat as well as she does. (or, our cat's temperament, to be specific)
I lightly broached the subject, before our vacation, and she was definitely advising we take our time with that process.
Hedo, when you brought Flea into the house, was it all in, or did you try to keep them separated / ease them into it?0 -

Hopefully others here will chime in. I know GG went through it and I believe several others others too.0 -
Yes. I did go through it. When I brought Daisy home I just let her out of the carrier. My apartment is not conducive to a slow intro. Tristan was fine the first day. Then he got a bit stressed for a week or so. He hissed but did not try to fight her but he puked a few times - which is unlike him. After the first week he was fine but cautious. Then by week 3 they were cuddling together. Daisy was fine the whole time. She didn’t hide or anything. She just wanted to make friends with him.0

So a tip to all of you, to move over to food from insects. Better for the planet."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
I guess there really isn't much difference between a box and a sink.

The lighting on the first one — magnificent!
I wonder if my phone has that feature…0 -
