We found little Gus when he was 10 days old the day Hurricane Gustav hit and when we were all admiring how tiny and cute he was I said we should call him Gustav, and just Gus for short. I never intended on keeping that name for him because I honestly never intended on keeping him (I'm in...

I'll have to look for the Max brand and the Chicken Soup next time I'm at Petsmart or PetCo. Thanks so much for the help! I got Purina Pro Plan Selects.. Maybe it's a little better..? He seemed to love the new flavor, I mixed a little into his dinner tonight (it's Salmon and his other was...

It's hard to believe that the tiny thing my bf and I found during hurricane Gustav last year is already a year old!! So, I'm going to start his transition to adult food now and maybe mixing it with the kitten food I still have left for a while since he's still SO tiny...(extra nutrients?) I'm...

Gus likes to lay on my chest and purr as loudly as he can and knead any time between 3 and 5 am. He's no where near that affectionate after about an hour of being awake in the mornings, so I love him coming to cuddle, but after about 10 minutes I'm ready to go back to sleep! If he doesn't go...

The other morning I was at my boyfriend's house with our kitten Gus, and his roommate's girlfriend was also there with her cat Dexter. In the mornings we let the "boys" run around and play together because when they're in the same house as each other they will NOT sleep past about 6:00. I was...

We had a very similar situation with Gus. We found him at 10 days old, and he was very dehydrated, but once he was back on track we went through several episodes of constipation while he was bottle feeding. We were told about the karo syrup thing, along with a few other remedies to help him...

thank you all very much for your input, it's been very helpful, my boyfriend and i appreciate it (and Gus ) ideas are definitely still welcome.. both me and my boyfriend are pretty new to having a cat, let alone a kitten from basically birth.. so anything else like tips for later or just care...

oh, and the first time was right around a vet visit, so I brought it up with them, and they did a few tests and said he was perfectly healthy.

so here's what is happening.. I bring our kitten over to my boyfriend's (see the previous post) on the weekends and sometimes his roommate's girlfriend will bring her kitten (just under a year) and they'll have "play-dates" so they'll both be worn out and actually sleep through the night. The...

Hey guys and gals! I haven't posted here in a while but our kitten (girlfriend and I) has gotten sick recently and we would like some insight. I don't know the full story (don't live together so I only see him on the weekends) so she will reply here in a sec with the full story for some more...

He still is dipping and sneezing hahah And an update: He has been peeing in his litter box for about 2 days now! And tonight I just went in there and saw that he had two little turds in there all buried and hidden away, too!!! You have no idea how excited I am about that

Thanks for the help, both of y'all! I have a very small room (not a bathroom) that I can put him in to train him. The room is maybe 8 feet by 5 feet (it's a study room) and I'll probably put him there and see how it works. If that doesn't work, Ill try the kitten attract litter. On the bright...

How do you litter train a 4ish week (I say this because of other pictures I see of 4 weeks olds are MASSIVE compared to my kitten but the vet says about 4 weeks old) old kitten without a mother or cat to learn off of? I have put him in the litter box and made scratching motions with his feet in...

Yeah, the only games that I play anymore are NCAA 09/Madden 09 and racing games. My latest one that I'm playing is Forza 2 on the 360. I still don't have a steering wheel for my rig since I'm usually spending my money on my actual race car (2005 Mustang GT w/ a supercharger...runs an 11.7-8 in...

I'm new here, but here goes... When Hurricane Gustav hit Baton Rouge this year (2008), it was a pretty hectic time. During a break during the storm, me, my girlfriend, Laura, my two roommates Austin and Eddie, and their girlfriends, Meagan and Emily (respectively) decided to go out and see what...
