Lord no D: I'm a wimp when it comes to needles. I wouldn't jab her myself. I'll let them handle it when I take her to get spayed.

I see, so it's for regional diseases? Rabies isn't too common here especially since I live on an isolated farm outside town. There is the occasional rabid dog in a township but ever since the government decided to start shooting down stray dogs to reduce any incidences you berely see any dogs...

Btw, what exactly are kittens vaccinated against at 8 weeks and 12 weeks? Didi (the housekeepers cat) has never been vaccinated. She seems healthy. Could she be carrying some underlying pathogen or virus that can be transmitted to humans as a result of not vaccinating her?

Thanks CatWhisperer. I'll try that method. She's a quick learner so I'm sure she'll take to it. Okay, so when should I get her spayed? At 8 weeks? I still think I might not have enough money though. I'm considering convincing my housekeeper to surrender her to a shelter if I wont get the money...

So should I take the litter box away and wait till their old enough?

I'm just remembering the time when we first met Didi, our housekeepers cat. She was about 4 weeks old and looked almost totally white with a brown patch on her back. As she grew it turned out she was a cream tabby (I started noticing an M on her forehead become clearer) and that patch grew into...

I also find find it strange when people lock up their cats and treat them like helpless babies. Cats are really hardcore and can take care of themselves. But I can understand the dressing up. Kittens are so adorable I guess sometimes you can't help it. The little guy in the pic (Cupid), does the...

Oh wow. Your cats are gorgeous.

Funny. I've never actually seen a cat cough up a hairball. I've seen vomit. And I've seen it doing that gagging thing but never actually seen a hairball. I'm obviously new. Lol

Lol. Yeah it's probably coz it smells different now. Crazy. You take a bath and your best friend suddenly acts like they don't know you.

Homemade newspaper pellet litter costs almost nothing and saves the planet. Not so sure about the absorbency. I made a bag full this week to get ready for litter training these babies. It took long to dry, even in the heat so I'm guessing they can hold a lot of water.

Weird how back claws never seem to cause trouble. Why is that? Is it because they grow much slower like for human toenails?

Depends on where you live. I live on a small farm and our housekeeper has an indoor/outdoor cat. It's really happy roaming the farm chasing down lizards and bugs, watching birds. She never goes near the fence and once when I took her out for a walk she ran back in at the sight of the nearby...

Ground eggshells or calcium rich babyfood for calcium and taurine. The veges are optional. Cat's eat grass to help them digest food and she doesn't mind them at all. I think it's a whole lot better than the unnecessary carbs they put in commercial cat food. I bought whiskas for the first time...

I know this wasn't part of the options but raw food is the cheapest and best quality out there. Seriously. Just mix 3 part ground meat with 1 part finely chopped vegetables (cabbage is good) and maybe add some boiling water to it if you're concerned about bacteria. It's what cats thrive on and...
