Okay, I have had house rabbits for the last 7 or 8 years so I have become a bit of an expert on buns. I know that you can give them baby gas medicine (simethicone) if they get gas (happens sometimes if they eat brocolli or brussel sprouts)  Anyway, I was wondering if it was safe for cats? She...

Hubby thinks getting another kitten would be too much....so we aren't gonna go that route.  Okay, I'll try playing with her longer.... Actually, we usually keep all of the doors shut in the house (except my daughters bedroom) and the second we open the door to our bedroom Toodles runs in there...

ok so no spray bottle...good to know. I've tried playing with her but its hard to wear her out cause she is sooo energetic. I think a lot of its cause she is a kitten.  Last night before bed i played with  her for 20 minutes and she was ready for bed but a  couple hours later she got a second...

Back story: Toodles is a black Tort kitten about 11 weeks old that was apart of a litter of three to a semi-feral cat. She has really warmed up to me...and somewhat to my hubby but still runs from our 18 month old. (I'm just glad Toodles hasn't gone after her and usually runs from her and hides...

We don't have a bathtub...just a shower...So I don't know where i'd put them...hmmm. But that is really cool.  Alot of our windows don't have screens so sometimes flies will come in...so shes been trying to catch them but I don't think she has had much luck...lol

crickets....hmmm are they already dead?  I never even considered feeding a cat bugs...thought hadnt occured to me.  Do you get them from the pet store or in the yard?

Shes out in the living room (has been the last couple of days) she has been playing with my hubbys boots and shoestrings... We have a bunch of boxes from moving...and she keeps playing on and in those.... She has pretty much explored the entire living room and has found all the good hidey...

Oh and she has mostly been on the floor and under the couch....but last night she was sitting on top of the nightstand playing with the lamp cord >.<  but I was so proud because she wasn't hiding and she was on top of something. She laid down there and even closed her eyes!   She hasn't made...

So I was walking around with my daughter in the yard and our landlord called us over on Friday and asked if we wanted to pick up our kitty early....so I said yes... (We were supposed to pick her up yesterday) So I'm gonna let you know how it's going since then... He carried her up to our apt...

Thank you Stefanz, we live in the US in northern Pa...so I guess will just have to ask around...lol Do you think the kitty will want to sleep in a bed on top of my nightstand next to our bed after she get's settled?  I guess we will just have to see. We just wanna keep her off our bed at night...

All of what you have just said I have tried to convince my hubby of....but he wasn't hearing it... stubborn lil'  When we found them, they were already eating solid food and it took us about 2 weeks to actually get ahold of them...i had considered getting an older cat but hubby was like...

Thank you for your reply LDG...It's a black tort so it's probably a girl...We get to take her home this weekend... And about having her wrapped around his finger...All the girls (pets and children) have been wrapped around his finger... But I did start talking to hubby about it and he said...

I have considered it but it took so much work to convince hubby to get the first cat and he is so opposed to a second kitty.... and id have to convince him about the raw food.....could you do like a half raw diet?  Also what would be the serving for a ten week old cat?  but you have given me...

Thank you for all the good advice. I have heard about water bottles and spraying the cats with it...but that doesn't seem very fair. I am sure it would work...but it's a bit on the cruel side for me... As for my daughter goes...I guess it would be better for her not to hold the kitty. I'm...

The first pet that I ever got was a rabbit and she was an orange holland lop. I named her Professor Bunnie and she lived to be about 2.5 when she died after giving birth to her baby kit.  Myracle- Was the baby kit that Bunnie had and she was completely hand raised and dropper fed unfortunatly...
