Have they been neutered / spayed? My kitten had a stinky bum - but about 2months after his neuter there were no more problems. I think its a hormonal thing. When my girl cat (un-spayed) gets happy and purrs - she starts stinking a little too. I think its a happy scent they express as a hormone...

It will help if you allow her to sleep and play in the carrier! Make sure its a secure happy place and hopefully it will decrease her anxiety. I don't think kitty will want to eat or drink in a scary environment - but maybe a wee rabbit sipper bottle? I'm not sure her tounge wuld be small enough...

Thats great I'm glad everything is fine. By tomorrow it will look like there was no infection at all! Just keep her on the meds and hopefully it won't be a reacuring problem. I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Good on you I hope the trip goes really well! You could put a harness around Vodka so when you have to get her? out at the check in you can reach in and grab a hold of her very tightly. I found that herbal medicines for pets can be very effective in reducing travel stress. I used bio-pet anti...

I had exactly this problem. Nothing worked. My kitten peed on my bed twice a day or about 3 months. Believe me I tried EVERYTHING. I got so frustrated I was contemplating returning him to the breeder (which is totally against my beliefs). Luckily he came around. I suggest - keep the kitten out...

Just be thankful that where he's peeing is easy to clean up Cricket peed on my bed for months and months every day before he became 'accustomed' to household rules

It sounds to me like your new kitten either brought conjunctivitus or feline herpes into your home! Both present with crusty eyes and are highly contagious - even to humans - make sure you wash your hands after touching your kitten and cat otherwise you may get a crusty eye... Your cats will...

How old is your cat? I successfully trained both my kittens to enjoys car rides! You can get these really cool dog booster seats with 'pet seatbelts' in them so the cats can see out the window. I started out by taking my kittens in the car to 'happy places' like my mums and my grandmas where...

My teenage kitten Crcket just cant seem to fight of conjuntivitus. His lil 'sister' Spazza is a moggie and she has responded to treatment and hers has never returned - but Cricket being Tonkinese and having a weaker immune system just cant seem to fight it off. He has taken two kinds of...

He is neutered but the girl is too young. So don't worry shes safe Sometimes Cricket does this during play as well, he gets a little rougher then. Is it likley that he is just playing a little too rough by accident?

We recently introduced a new Kitten into our household - and all is going remarkably well. Cricket mostly accpets the new Kitten (except for the occasional bout of jealousy) and they happliy share the same lap and play together. However - Cricket bites the back of the Kittens neck, not to the...

Hi I'm Rosie and I have a wee Chocolate Tonkinese Boy called Cricket. I live with my partner and some other boys, Cricket, Grubie (my partners cat), 25 Rats (we breed, very responsibly of course ) and 2 mice - also a mutitude of fish - but with everything else going on they are hardly noticed...

I know what its like to have a 'speacial needs' animal .. and I admire your patience and caring Good luck solving your problem!

I use Science Diet for my kitten and supliment it with a teaspoon of wet food by Iams, Science Diet, Royal Canin etc. every morning. He seems healthy and lean and muscular - but now I'm paranoid! What should I be feeding him? I thought Science Diet was the best you could buy?

lol - Well its a cupboard in your house with the hot water cylinder in it. Its warm (and fairly large) think a large closet. Usually is has shelves for sheets and towels to keep them warm and dry - and in the bottom it has a large space (perhaps to store a vacume cleaner?) I thought of it...
