Thank you both for your replies. Yes, I am so glad to have two kittens now, which is what I always wanted, actually. I will continue to watch them play toghether. Right now, my tonk is confined to my bedroom with food, water, and litter box as he gets adjusted to the new home. My "burmie" (I...

I just adopted a new kitten this weekend. He is a tonkinese male 8 weeks old. I have a resident 5-month old burmese male who up until this weekend was the only feline in the house. I immediately introduced them together because I felt that since they were both kittens, I didn't have to go that...

Hi, I just got my new kitten 1 month ago, and I was in the same position as you were trying to find the right kitty litter. Well, for me it was down to two brands: 1) World's Best Cat Litter 2) Arm And Hammer Super Scoop/ Blends I was afraid of getting anything made of clay because I heard...

Hi Werebear, You are right, mixbreed cats are wonderful as well. My first cat was a mix-breed, although he wasn't the friendliest cat. I'm actually going to a shelter today to see their kittens. They currently have 250+ cats and kittens right now that they are trying to look for homes for...

I have a friend who is considering adopting a kitten from a breeder who strictly feeds all her kittens/cats raw meat that she prepares. These kittens have been eating raw meat ever since they could eat solids, and the breeder, herself, despises dry and canned food. The problem is my friend...

I'll go check with my vet to see if he needs another vaccination. She did say that if you vaccinate to early, it isn't as effective. I just hope the profile confirms that my kitten is healthy, and that he is just the runt of the litter and needs extra TLC.

Thanks for the replies. My kitten was born 7/10/07. His first vaccination was on 9/7, which would make it 8 weeks. His second on 10/1, which would make it about 11 weeks. That actually sounds about right, doesn't it? The doc said that the stress from the flight from NZ to Hawaii may also have...

Shiloh is now 16 weeks old. He is a blue burmese male from New Zealand. I took him to the vet for his health check 3 weeks ago (at 13 weeks), he was a bit dehydrated and not eating, but now he is eating well (about 6oz both dry and canned in a day), he poops normal and drinks, and plays like a...

Thank you guys for your thoughts and advice. I already told the lady I wasn't interested... actually, I knew she was going to be away at a cat meeting, so I left a message on her answering machine... I know, "wimp!" Heehee. I still feel bad, but I know I made the right choice. As some of you...

Thanks everyone for your advice. My instinct told me not to adopt a kitten. But I feel so bad because I went over to the cattery 4 times now to play with the kittens, and the breeder even gave me some free things. I think she thought I was going to adopt one of her kittens, but I never told her...

I already told the breeder I would adopt an 11-week old somali. I visited the kittens a few times. My concern is that I want a very affectionate lap cat that loves pets, cuddles, etc. The kitten I chose is very dominant of the other 5 kittens and very active and naughty. However, he was the only...

Thank you everyone for your wonderful messages! Yes, I have to agree, in certain pictures, he does show some pinkish hues in his color. He is absolutely a doll! Unfortunately, I was supposed to adopt a burmilla next month, but the breeder in New Zealand says that the kitten I was holding was not...

Hi everyone! My wait was finally over on Thursday, and boy was it a long wait! I picked up Shiloh at the airport, and he was crying the whole way home! From the get-go, he was a total smooch! Even the holding facility and the pet transport in NZ said so. Aside from the minor scare earlier with...

Thank you guys for the assurance. Last night, he did eat some dry Iams food, but he ate it inside his carrier! He wouldn't eat the dry food I leave out in his food bowl. This morning, I let him have the run of the house at 6am. He was crying and going through the house rather slowly, inspecting...

Hi everyone! Finally my burmese boy, Shiloh, is here in Hawaii! I picked him up yesterday, and he is even more beautiful than I imagined! He is currently 13 weeks old. But right away, I noticed that he is not eating. I picked him up yesterday morning, and the holding facility at the airport...
