Things like fleas and ringworm are super contagious, even allowing the kitten to sleep on your other cat's beds could lead to them being infected too. Other diseases have an incubation period, which means that they may have already been passed on to other cats, but you're not seeing any signs...

They don't look over weight to me. During the first 12 to 18 months of their lives, longer for some breeds of cats, you shouldn't restrict their food intake at all as they are still growing. They are still developing strong bones, so need plenty of nutrition for that. Generally speaking, wet...

I'm so glad to hear he's going with you. You're definitely making the best decision. I love your cats! I have 3 tuxedos too. And a bunch of tabby ones. :dizzycat:

Do you still have all the receipts from his vet visits? Take him back to the vet, get him microchipped and registered in your name, keep all the vet records and receipts. That makes him legally yours. It's obvious that in his head he already is your cat, so you should take him with you for sure...

I'm sorry to hear you're in such a desperate situation. You seem very responsible for your age, I'm glad your pets have got you to look out for their well being, even if your parents won't do. So, you have 14 cats and kittens as well as 2 dogs? Are any of them spayed or neutered? As I'm sure...

It's quite normal for the mother to take a break between kittens. As long as she isn't in active; labour, panting, straining or struggling for extended length of time, there is no need to worry. I have heard of kittens being born a day or two after their siblings. Has she passed all of the...

Is this the same cat that you've posted about in this thread? New Born Kittens are tiny and lethargic It sounds as if you really need to get your pets spayed and neutered. It's not good for them to keep having litters and it must be very upsetting for you to deal with kittens dying. Are you...

I've been gradually easing myself back into longer walks and yoga routines this week. I started with hour walks and 30 minute yoga practices, but yesterday I was feeling much better so did and hour of yoga and then a two hour walk. I found a new trail to explore. There's a huge area of...
