They cuddle together a lot - I would say they enjoy it, but the truth is more likely that Dash loves it and Bandit just puts up with her because he can't be bothered to move! Sometimes he'll choose to curl up with her but it's usually the other way around!
That expression at the end...! "Mu-uuuum! He hissed at me!"2 -

Thanks for your responses, they eased my mind. Although, how do you manage to have a closed door with cats around?? I have to tie the cabinets shut, baby lock the bedroom closet and pile stuff in front of the coat closet. We had work done that required the front door be open, so I closed them in the bedroom, they destroyed the carpet there from picking at it. It's a one bedroom apartment, is it terrible to introduce them right away?0 -

Can you try to take them out for walks? Sounds like they need more to do. I don't mind mine getting into stuff. Cars thinks everything needs exploring.
You can introduce them right away, just know they may not be chums right off. If your cats are already having some behavior problems, you might rethink adding another cat right now. Cat don't get over stuff easily and it could cause more problems.
You ever watch Jackson Galaxy's cat show? My cat from hell. He's has a web site too. It might help you figure out what's best right now.1 -
Ha! Yeah, the one is an explorer, often gets himself stuck in the couch or dresser if I leave it open.MsAmandaNJ wrote: »@cee134 @sunburntgalaxy @Elise4270

Their behavior seems cat-like to me, they only got destructive when closed in like that, which I understand. They play and chase often, still pretty active and enjoy being on the balcony, but not so much actually being outside on grass.
I've seen a couple of episodes of his show, those cats terrify me, but I love how he connects with them. I'll take a look at the website, thank you :-) I know hubs is itchy for kitten time, but financially, I don't think it's the right time - vet bills, food, litter.

My little one will climb in the dresser drawers, way back in there. The oldest one will still sleep in a hole he made under/in the box springs. I'm not saying to not get another cat, just crazy how fickle cats get. They may love the added company. Good luck with them!MsAmandaNJ wrote: »

When the kittens were little and separated I made sure there were a lot of toys, food and a good sized litter box in there so that helped, plus they were babies so they slept a LOT. Virgil was so tiny we had to set up barriers to be sure he wouldn't fall (on the stairs mainly - he was so small he couldn't even climb up them at first). Usually it is only for a few days, unless you get them super young like we did on 2 of them, then you might want to just to be sure they are safe (when one is less than a pound and one is 25 you worry a bit about accidental smooshing). Now with our oldest she has her own room when no one is here and she usually likes it but every once in a while she tries to open it, and she tries to open the bedroom door to go in *she doesn't realize she is doing it wrong - she could just lean on it and it would open). A lot of toys helps to keep them busy most of the time - at least for me that is the case,

We heard this little girl outside early yesterday morning, brought her in. We're fostering her until a home is found :-) our fellas are warming up to her, although there is still some hissing - I'm sure things will be fine after a few days. She is such a sweetie, I'm surrounded by boys, nice to have a chick in here with me. We named her Athena.

She's pretty! And looks fairly spunky.

She's very vocal, it's cool that she communicates so well. Seems like she knows what she wants and can handle her own.2 -

She is beautiful. However, I think she already claimed you as her people. 1 -

I agree - you are hers now.0 -
She is very attached to me - I wouldn't mind keeping her ;-)1
