    Kitten had a rough day- and suddenly turned skittish

    OF COURSE! I'm so stupid i didn't notice this before! The day we were out to the vet the room she's in was washed, for the second time overall since she's there, the first being long ago when she was tiny. The floor detergent's scent is pretty strong, it even feels offensive to me, she must've...

    Kitten had a rough day- and suddenly turned skittish

    About toys, i got her something like a metric ton of them. bell-balls, stuffed animals, tassle wands, boxes and tunnels to go in, and more. I never "force" a petting session on her, when she's playing- she's playing, and i know it's useless to try get her attention while she's engrossed in...

    Kitten had a rough day- and suddenly turned skittish

    I am starting to run out of ideas, the situation is turning worse.... She started clawing EVERYTHING, though she never did before, moving away from my hand if i bring it close, her play biting turned into just biting, started chewing my hair at any given chance (i have long hair), and if i try...

    Kitten had a rough day- and suddenly turned skittish

    More than a few days have passed, her behavior went 180 from what it used to be. She always greeted me when i entered the room- now she rarely does so. Always stayed close to me while playing- now she has a "home base" point beneath the bed, where she bolts to at any given chance, and won't...

    Kitten had a rough day- and suddenly turned skittish

    Hi everyone My gouda is a tiny 8 week old kitten, 2 days ago we went to the vet for the first vaccine, the shot itself went by uneventfully. She didn't even twitch. After that i also had to stop by the pet shop for food, in hindsight, it was a BAD call to take her with me. Staying in the...

    dry food- purina pro plan vs natural choice?

    Actually I'm from israel, so the choice is more limited compared to the u.s or australia She was on a brand called chikopee before, which turned out to be bad and give her the runs. I moved to purina pro plan, got a 350g sample from the vet, and everything suddenly went right I went to the...

    dry food- purina pro plan vs natural choice?

    I'll look for wysong and orijen, already asked about blue wilderness around- we simply don't have it (i don't live in the U.S) If i don't find something good and grain-free for a reasonable price (choosing to give as much wet food as possible dries up my budget fairly fast) i'll go with natural...

    dry food- purina pro plan vs natural choice?

    Hi I've been starting to give my kitten dry food as well as wet, asked around, and received recommendations for purina pro plan and natural choice. Between these two, which is considered better? It should be noted that a large part of the food my kitten would be getting is wet, around 60% of...

    Is it wrong to encourage "smurgling" aka nursing

    You can let her do that for a while- but don't encourage it. Cats knead to calm down and make themselves comfortable, if she's new she might be a bit stressed about the new place, see if she decreases the amount of kneading with time. But do not encourage it, and needless to say- no...

That said, she's meowing when I'm with her as well, she'll start climbing me and move unrestfully while meowing, and shows no interest In playing while doing so. I got her...

    Need help- weaning my kitten, need good food choice.

    Ok, so I got a brand named chicopee, seems like it's well received locally, first on the least is poultry meal, and it also containd liver meal and fish meal. That said, it contains corn and wheat, so the next bag of food will be something even better. Well, at least this is something I can at...

    Kitten suddenly changed behavior, lots of meowing

    Hi I have a 6.5 week old kitten, and for the last 2 days she has been acting very weird She always slept through the night with no problem- now she wakes up every 2 hours or so and meows endlessly. Before, after feeding and play time she would go and sit down somewhere warm to rest, now she...

    Need help- weaning my kitten, need good food choice.

    I'll try to see if I can buy wet food in bulk, my kitty isn't picky about reheated food, so it should get things cheaper Will also try to feed her the least dry food within my financial ability+the dry food she will consume will always be wet, i won't let her get used to completely dry food so...

    Need help- weaning my kitten, need good food choice.

    I don't live in the U.S, so for prices- don't take the it as a comparison point. Everything is more expensive here, due to the need to import... I read the list and saw there are only meat by-products there, but didn't know what is good or bad for the cat from all the other ingredients, this is...
