I'm so desperate I found two few days old orphans last july and bottle fed them. When they started eating solid, I introduced the to older cat, Ajci, following all the recommended steps for introducting, described here. There was no succes - Ajci was afraid of the gorm the very beginning...

I've raised two orphan girls Coco and Voodoo and about two months ago we introduced them to our early desexed 2 year old female cat Ajci. We followed the steps described by the lovely people on this forum. We've had a problem with Ajci being afraid of them, which has passed without any...

oh thank you, it means a lot! Do I need to go back one step (which I totally missed out) - to a gap between the doors separating them? So they see each other without full body contact, or is this necessary only in the case of aggression? Thank you again!

My two little orphans have now been vaccinated and after a few weeks of presenting the scents with a blanket, we let them out to older cat's territory. When I first let them out, Voodoo ran to Ajči (older cat) and it seemed like that Ajči didn't really know what this tiny furball is, but when...

Sorry, it isn't ringworm. It's the other intestinal worm besides tapeworm that is very common with feral kittens. Malena yes, they are at least 5 weeks now, as they have grown almost all baby teeth. They are probably even a bit more, but I just want to be careful. I found them when they were 5...

yep, they are worm free. We used Banminth paste to deworm them, so they are 100% ringworm free, but I'm not sure for the tapeworm. There are no tapeworm eggs visible around their anus and the stool is OK too. Is there any way to give them hygene habits or is it to early to panic about it It's...

I have two just over a month old orphan kittens and I noticed an awful smell coming from their behinds. I see them cleaning themselves on paws and bellies, but never on their behinds. Should a bathe them? Can I use a mild, fragrance free shampoo for babies? I must add, that we cleaned them with...

I feed Ajči Felidae, as it is the only premium food available here in Slovenia. She also refused to eat it at first, but after a few days of having both Nutro and Felidae available, she started eating Felidae - yay. Give it a chance!

thank you! My darlings also have a small playing space and they are running around like crazy! It's so great sitting with them, whe the climb on you and purr into sleep. I limited my momma duties to cleaning them, pettinf and hissing when they bite me. I feel like such a dork when I'm with the...

Everything is fine now! They both use the litterbox without any problems and they have already grown their back teeth! I'm so excited. Only good 5 weeks left till the FeLV and fAIDS test, when they get to meet Ajci!

thank you! We tried putting litter boxes to the places of accidents and yesterday, after the both went into the first, original litter box, we moved others away, thinking that if they weren't used at all, there's no need for them. Wrong! After previously mentioned puddle in their sleeping corner...

thank you both for your answers! they now both went into the box and just after I thought they got the skill, I found a puddle where they slept. Is it possible, that they just can't hold it in long enough to come to the box, as cats don't usually pee in their sleeping place? This may sound...

The girls now have almost half a kilo!! I'm not rushing them into weaning, but they are already peeing and pooping without being stimulated. We're trying with a litter box, but I think it just isn't working. I've done every single thing described here - putting them on the litter after a meal...

thank you for your answers!

So as you probably know, I have two orphan kitties and besides feeding, stimulating, cleaning and cuddling them, I don't know my other mother duties. Is there anything I should do? Maybe teaching them how to hunt? What about when they are playing with each other, should I in anyway punish them...
