Thanks everyone for the replies. I definitely understand why he's eating them they are huge, country rats are already big and then throw in the fact that they've been feasting on all my feed for months you've got some giant rats. I don't think anyone is poisoning them as everyone has pets and...

I recently moved Killer in my feed room. I was losing so much money on feed because the rats were feasting on my dog food, rabbit feed, goat grains, goat feed, goat minerals, even hay was being taken. I tried traps nothing worked I finally gave up and got Zodiac and Killer. Killer pretty much...

I tried asking my vet about this too and they told me without seeing them both that the best they could tell me was if Zoey wasn't underweight, wasn't having any troubles going, eating okay, and was active and alert that her food is probably fine and not to worry to much about it. I can't really...

This was kinda my feelings on it too. Zoey isn't underweight at all she's in great shape. With free feeding kitten food I worry she'll quickly become overweight with all the extra calories in it. Her and killer now graze all throughout the day. She seems to be managing fine on the adult and I...

Yes it's dry. How long is the wet food good for? I worry with them being free fed that wet might go bad and cause a possibly upset stomach Zoey is currently fighting a cold at the moment that she came with so I don't want to risk her possibly getting sick from bad food too.

How important is kitten food for kittens? Zoey is around 7 months someone told me she should be eating kitten food the problem is I free feed since her and Killer were/are semi feral. Killer is about a 1 1/2 years old so he's considered an adult so I don't want to feed him kitten food if I don't...

All I wanted was for Zoey and Killer to be comfortable. Zoey would only come to me if the dogs were out. But now I can't get her to leave me alone she constantly wants to be in my lap. She lets me pick her up and I'll gently put her on the floor but she'll just come right back. She wants to play...

I wouldn't say you're male is far from being sexually mature. 6-8 months is when cats become sexually mature. Your cat is 5 1/2 months so he's fast approaching sexual maturity. It's usually suggeted kittens are spayed/neutered at 4 months.

That can be a combination of the heat and her age she is in her "teenage" stage a lot of cats become a little distant and more independent. But luckily spayed cats grow out of that fairly quickly since they don't have the added hormones egging them on.

It's probably just because she's in heat hopefully she'll go back to her normal self after the heat. But definitely get her spayed ASAP with all the extra hormones rushing through it can start to change her behavior and attitude sometimes.

Sounds like he wants to play. Just redirect him to the toys when he does that eventually he'll catch on.

Sounds like she fell for cute fluffy innocent look not realizing kittens are a lot of work. She might want a calmer adult raising kittens isn't for everybody.

Yes that may definitely be easier said I don't know if she'll let me open her mouth yet while she'll let me rub her and pet her she still is somewhat skittish and ready to escape at a moments notice if I just so much as twitch the wrong way :lol:

Lol I'm going through this too. Killer hides in the closet while Zoey prefers hiding under my bed you would never know I have cats thankfully I keep him and Zodiac in my room so I don't have to worry so much. I was worried they weren't eating or using their litter box. I've learned Killer only...

how can you tell the age of a kitten? When I got Zoey I was told she was around 8 months. But today for the first time she came to me for pets and even purred the best part is she climbed into my bed for cuddles without me even asking and she's coming to her name now. But as I was watching her...
