indeed... at one of the shelters in nyc they were spaying/neutering around 2 months old.

thanks everyone for the replies... i'm glad to know that this is normal behavior. along the same lines, whenever my male kitten (hayden) plays with a toy that he can grab in his mouth and walk away with he starts to growl and will not let go of the toy for anything. if he's growling and has...

hi everyone. i have another question. whenver i play with madison and hayden (my two kittens) via this little feather and bell at the end of a wand, they go nuts chasing it! if i hold the wand up above their head, they circle around it, chatter their teeth/jaws very rapidly and make these...

thanks for the replies! i appreciate it as i'm a new pet owner. regarding the spaying and neutering... i was told to wait until at least 5 months of age... is this not correct? thanks, keith

Hi guys and gals. I just got two new kittens 3 weeks ago... Madison and Hayden. They are almost 3 months old and are brother and sister. I've never really had a cat before so please excuse me if this is a "dumb" question, and I don't really know how to word it in an appropriate way but... I...

Hi guys. I got a cute 3 month old white and black female from the CACC over here in NYC. She's adorable. Pictures soon to follow (as well as a name for her)! -Keith

Wow she is so cute! Where can I find one like that in NYC? Is that a special breed?

Thanks guys and gals for all the replies! I have considered getting two kittens, but my roommate does't want two cats (and I know he is bending to allow me to have one, so I don't want to push it). On top of that I do travel a bit and when I want to bring my cat it will be much easier (and...

Captiva, Thank you. I will look into that, thanks! -Keith
