A new cat?

This is a hard call since there is enough of you to go around. I would say though, that since your cat has issues, it is best to let it go. Someone else is sure to fall in love with her and take her home. We had a cat that beat up on our new girl and she was a mess. She wet the floor and was all panicky (she too was a Manx). It isn't worth it if you know that this could be an issue. Both cats would be unhappy, not just your current baby.

As a cat owner myself, I see the dilemma. So sorry you feel torn. If you really feel a connection can be made, give it a shot. If your current cat doesn't interact well with other cats you may be asking for trouble. First I would talk to your vet about how you might introduce a new cat into the home. You might try contacting the person in the classified and seeing if the two of you could work out a trial to see how your current cat and the manx may get along..Good luck cats are very territorial. You'll need to really work out the kinks on this one.

IMO, cats always do better in pairs. That way when you're gone, your kitty has someone to play with or just to be near. Go for it! Every kitty needs a home!

If you do decide to try it, there are better and not so better ways to introduce the new cat, so write and let everyone know to get some ideas.

First, are you sure your cat doesn't like other cats? Is it possible that he is trying to play with your roommate's cat? I have seen cats who just try to play too much or too rough, and it looks like they are fighting, but really they just want a playmate. Also, how long did it take for the "beating up" to stop -- a few weeks? a few months? a few years? That makes a difference, because most cats need a few weeks or a few months to adjust to any change, especially another cat -- but that doesn't mean that they don't like other cats, just they need time to adjust. Usually, if cats are really stressed and unhappy about another cat or too many cats in the home, there is a problem with inappropriate elimination -- have you had those problems while your cat was learning to accept your roommate's cat?

If it were me, it would give me nightmares if I didn't bring her home. My heart goes out to you! I would be so afraid to leave it to chance. There is a product out there that I have used before (successfully) that I can't remember the name of, but can tell you that although it sounds weird, it's like the plug-in type air fresheners, but it emits happy feline pheremones. Speak to your vet or someone at Petsmart about it. I also have a Manx named Nova who is now 2 years old. He was a rescue, and only 4 weeks old when we brought him home. Our other two cats were litter mates, l and l/2 years old at the time. I used the pheremones to help, and the transition was really pretty seamless although due to what, I don't really know. Manx's are amazing little critters, so much different in a lot of ways than our other cats. So you might give it a try - I'd think it'd be worth it. Best of luck!!!!! Maybe you could keep us posted as to what happens. I'd love to know.

Kitties are of course lovable. There is an idiom, has the cat got your tongue, said to somebnody, especially a child who stays silenct when expected to speak, for example being asked a question. It shows so silent they are.

I think there are som many idioms realted to cats, let the cat out of the bag, to tell a secret carelessly or by mistake. Like a cat on hot briks, very nervous people are represents this.

Well, cat a small animal with soft fur that people often keep as a pet. Of course it is a pet. but it is helpful too. It catches and kills the mouse.It also guards our home.

I have a kitty which is very cute to see with white and black colors. I like it because it is like one of my family members. My kitty's parents are also living with us. I gave him a name mitttu.
