He looks beautiful. Most cats love crumpled paper balls! But you can try the fuzzy mice that are available from a pet store or get one of the angling toys (a stick with an attached string and a fetherball at the end). You can also make a feather toy for him by gathering a lot of feathers, tying them together and throwing it. Anotehr great toy is a ball into which you can put dry food. The ball has a few holes and as he plays with it the food falls out. once he figures out how it works, it is a great toy. (But my cats still like the small crumpled paper balls best.....)

This is a tough one in that Roger can come and go as he pleases. When he come back from being outside, he likely smells different that before, so that would be one reason why two of your cats are intimidated of him. It's like he's a new cat because he smells differently. I'm wondering if there is any way you can keep Roger indoors all the time with the rest of the cats. If you do that, I have a way to introduce him to the other cats so that they are comfortable with him. To do this, I would separate the cats, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take Roger, and put him in his own room with his own food, water, and litter box. Keep the door closed, and for a few days, feed them all treats on other side of door so they associate each other's smell with a good experience. Then let the other cats into Roger's room while he is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If anyone becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove the other cats from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting well with each other through the carrier, you can let Roger out of his room, and see how he interacts with the other cats. Praise them when they interact appropriately, and separate them with any sign of aggression or upset. I would get a cat tree with lots of shelves to give the cats vertical space to get away from each other. I would keep Roger in his room when you go out until they are comfortable with each other. Otherwise, you can get Feliway, which is a pheromone diffuser that helps cats with anxiety. You can also put Sentry calming collars on the two cats who get upset when Roger comes home. These pheromones as well will help with their anxiety. I would still have a cat tree to give your cats vertical space from Roger when he comes home.

"Think Like a Cat" by Pam Johnson-Bennett is a great book on cat behavior; this author also has a couple of other books ("Catwise" and "Cat Vs. Cat") which are also great. "The Trainable Cat" by John Bradshaw and Sarah Ellis is another good resource, with lots of specific info on teaching your cat to do things in a positive way. I hope that helps a bit! :)

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There could be a few reasons, likely it is that you are paying attention to her and the pitch of your voice. Some cats like a certain way things are said with higher or lower pitches. Your singing voice may be in a range she responds too postitively! Regardless of why she likes it, it is adorable. Have a good day

Cats typically rub on things that they are trying to reclaim, especially when they are on inanimate objects. If you go away from the home, with Chandler, and then come back home, he is likely trying to reclaim his possessions in the home. : ) No worries, this is natural for cats to do. For future, here is a really good resource to get into the psyche of cats a bit more for your own understanding and pleasure. They really are very unique pets to have and bring fulfillment in many ways. Take care! jacksongalaxy.com
