I went ahead and just left the collar on Zhara. Hoping she would get used to it. I pulled out her favorite toy once she seemed to calm down and played with her while the collar was on for quite some time. She's doing fine with it now. Thank goodness! I would like for her to wear a harness while...
I lived in Florida when I was in highschool with two cats. They were indoor/outdoor. During the spring and summer especially (let's face it fleas are year round there unless you get a good freeze one year) the fleas were horrible. My dad declared war when he woke up in the middle of the night to...
I have two kittens - about 8 months old. They're indoors and microchipped so I haven't felt a need to put a collar on them. Next month I'm driving from Missouri to Florida with them and I feel like a collar is necessary. I first put the the collar on Abbie with the bell and her ID tag but she...
I'm planning on going home for two weeks in December for Christmas. Home is in Florida - I currently live in Missouri. My two kittens will be 9 months old at that time and I'm trying to make the decision of boarding them or bringing them with me. Of course if I brought them with me I wouldn't...
I'm a new kitten owner and my kitties do the same thing. This is what has worked for me and my boyfriend so far. We haven't limited our kittens to rooms, unless we aren't there. I would suggest letting him learn his limits, and don't restrict him to the bathroom. If you're not there during the...
I've been feeding them the same food since I've adopted them, so could the digestion problems start randomly? I never noticed this before.
My boyfriend just called and said the vet has Abbie and is running some tests.
This past Sunday I noticed my 4 month old kitten, Abbie, had a very bloody butt, with what I would call a bloody butt booger attached to it. It wasn't like it was hanging out of her rear end, it was just stuck on the outside of it because it was mucousy (sorry gross). I freaked out and called...
I'm a new kitten mommy, and I want my babies to be as healthy as they possibly can. I've been going to the vet regularly for their shots and check ups. They're only 4 months old, so I've gone twice so far, with 2 kittens I've already paid $300+ on vet visits and shots (they also had coccidia -...
Thank you so much for your replies. I do think they're still fighting for alpha. This morning I was on the couch and Zhara was laying on my lap and Abbie down by my legs, Zhara went up to Abbie, bit her on the back of the neck and pinned her down - exactly what Abbie had done to her the other...
I just feel so bad for poor Zhara. Abbie is more outgoing and playful so she usually gets more attention. My boyfriend will play with her for hours if he could. When we play with them Zhara just kind of sits back and watches Abbie chase the string or toy.
The other day I picked Abbie up first...
I adopted two kittens about two months ago. The shelter wasn't sure if they were litter mates or not. There were two mommas that gave birth to a litter either on the same day or a few days apart and they were basically sister wives and each litter would feed off of them. To start we (my bf and...
