Emergency kits are a great idea! I need to do something like that. In regards to litter, they sell disposable pans with litter already in them. Those seem pretty handy.

Little Sherrif is lucky you insisted on keeping him as opposed to leaving him at the shelter! Who knows what may have happened! Definatley take him to a vet ASAP! If money is tight, the shelter may be able to help you find some lower cost clinics. I hope he was just suffering from hunger and...

Hi there! My one and a half year old female, Zoe was scooting around on my carpet so I took her to the vet. He expressed both glands and prescribed a week's worth of twice daily amoxicillan (may be misspelled). He didn't seem concerned. That was on Thursday and she is still scooting around. I...

More specifically, your parents or relatives? My parents have a six month old kitten named Ivan. When they adopted him, he came to them eating Friskies kitten chow. Ivan always seemed hungry, so they switched him to Iams, but he still was hungry - and not eating his kibbles. So they bought...

I am feeding my girls Blue's Kitten food, because Isabella is 17 weeks. Is this a good one? Can I switch to Wilderness before she reaches a year? Is there a better kitten chow out there? I chose Blue because I thought it was a good brand.

You might try sprinkling some catnip on the scratcher to entice them to use it. If they've never used one before they may not know what it's for. When I brought Zoe home, she wasn't sure about her scratching posts and boards. I used 'nip and once she tried them, she was like, "ahh, this feels...

Do you mean to play with or to eat? I'm not sure if it's good to feed your kitty catnip every day but from what I understand, it's ok as a treat. I would imagine it's ok to play with every day...my girls have several toys with catnip inside and acouple times a week I sprinkle some on their...

Thanks for all the replies! So many helpful suggestions! Zoe is collared and microchipped, and Isabella is collared but she won't be chipped until she is old enough to be spayed - they do it together, but I am still worried about them getting out. Collars can come off and a vet or shelter has...

I feel your pain! Mine wait until I am nearly asleep, park themselves at the foot of my bed, and start in on their nightly groom-a-thon. Drives me bonkers. They lick and slurp and snort for what seems like hours. Just when I think I can't stand it anymore, they come back up to my end of the bed...

I'm wondering if a topical flea/parasitic treatment could cause this? Have you used one on her? I second asking for a second opinion. That looks just awful. She is sooo cute though! Congrats on such a cutie!

I wanted to add that they have their claws and sometimes try to climb the screens in pursuit of their prey We are working on that, but, well, you all know how that goes.

Hopefully I put this in the right place My two girls, Zoe and Isabella, love to sit in the windows and dream of catching the fat robins outside. I worry that maybe my screens aren't very sturdy. Is there a trick to make them more cat safe? I only leave the windows open when I'm home but I would...

I have a one year old cat, Zoe and a 13 week old kitten named Isabella. They are constantly play fighting. It was to the point where I thought that Zoe was being too aggressive so I talked to my vet about it. He basically said that unless one of them is getting hurt (cut, scratched, bitten...

Isabella and Zoe both do this. I think it is so sweet. They do it so gently, like they know it's my face and they don't want to hurt me. Isabella, the kitten, will also stare at my eyes and try to catch my eyelids when I blink - again, soooo gently. I think like aswient said, they do like...

Four kittens in a first litter sounds about right. Please make sure to spay her when the babies are weaned Are Mama and babies inside now? I would reccomend keeping them inside if they are outside. Make sure Candy has all the KITTEN food she cares to eat and plenty of FRESH water. Kitten...
