Frank, the tiny one in my avatar, was a bottle baby too. He didn't want to be weaned but he eventually stopped drinking from his bottle when he was about 8 weeks old. I don't think you should try to force her to wean, and you really shouldn't withhold the bottle from her if she's hungry but...
Has he been checked for a UTI? Is he ever constipated? When any of my cats spend a lot of time digging in the litter it sometimes mean they're having trouble peeing or pooping.
I wouldn't try to discourage him from going into the litter box at all, no matter how annoying it is. If you scare him...
In these cases it's OK to tell a little white lie and say a 6 month old kitten is really 8 months old. ;) As long as she weighs over a kilo it's fine to spay her under 8 months of age.
He will still be able to get her pregnant, if she's more than 5 months old and in heat. Male cats retain enough live sperm to father kittens for up to 30 days after neutering.
Really the best way to keep all the cats calm is have them all spayed and neutered. I have a large group of cats that...

I've heard that the best baby food to try and hide meds in is Gerber's Stage 2. You need the plain meat varieties, no onions or garlic. Depending on the meds they can either be hidden in the baby food, or crushed up and mixed into it. You need to check with your vet though, as not all meds are...
How's everyone doing this month?
Most of my exercise has been yard work, but I've been trying to do at least 30 minutes yoga every day too. Yard is looking much better now and it's about time to plant some spring flowers. 45 minutes walk and an hour of yoga today.
They're both beautiful cats! I remember your thread about all the trouble you went to for Bella. I'm glad to see how happy she looks now.

:yeah: I think if she has a tipped ear it means that she wasn't a feral born kitten that was taken in at a weeks years old, because ear tipping is generally for cats that will be released outside again. It sounds like she was part of a feral or stray colony that was trapped and spayed, but was...
