Neutered male cats are usually fine , its existing females who resent newcomers! This is my experience anyway with a couple of introductions (I have 2 kittens & 2 cats at mo). It's good advice to judge the new cat's personality as no cat with an extreme personality (very aggressive/dominant or...

urban tiger where did you get a da bird from? I'd like one! We have a similar toy called tail tikkler which has feathers on the end and a feather boa and the kittens love it so much!

I've just introduced two kittens to my existing two cats, including introducing the kittens to each other and it can work! You need to allow time . My neutered 8 year old male took to the kittens virtually immediately, the kittens to each other took a week and the spayed 6 year old female is...

Ah he is adorable lucky you and well done for rescuing as well You must be so excited. More piccies please

Can we see a piccie? You shouldn't let him out for at least another week I think until he's bonded better (will come when you call etc). I'm assuming that he's already neutered as you adopted him. You could consider a harness and leash, but be careful about taking him to busy areas as he may...

Congrats on your kitties. lol litterbox you could try a different litter as some are pleasanter to humans than others. But if you do change it, use a little at first mixed in to replace the old litter slowly so that the cat gets used to the new litter. Yeah you shouldn't let kittens outside...

Ah sweet kitty. She looks older than 6 weeks but its hard to say exactly and she is a bit furrier than my kitten, I agree probably about 10/11 weeks. We got Luna at 7 weeks and her legs still looked really delicate. She started looking stronger at 8 weeks. I've put some photos of Luna below, I...

Yup, wee kittens do need a good diet for their development so that they grow up into strong healthy cats and there is lots of advice on here, notably by the admirable Sharky Glad she's doing better

I have to admit I wondered that too Glad your beautiful kitten is much better. It sounded like an awful thing to happen to a kitten. I've just looked up what hills a/d is as I didn't know, and I see that its for cats recovering From Serious Illness, Accidents and Surgery. Can I ask had Shalom...

Mine love till receipts, screwed up newspaper, toilet rolls, ping pong balls, the thicker paper bags you get from clothing shops (like Zara) and cardboard boxes as you can see Be careful of string, wool and toys on rubber bands/elastic as they can chew these type of toys apart and can eat the...

Oh Golden Kitty you just beat me to it! Great minds etc. I was going to suggest a Beanie Baby too! I read somewhere that single kittens settle in better with a soft toy so I used one of my beanie baby cats ( still have soft toys too). He snuggled up to it and was so cute! (Then I got another...

Hello Congrats on your soon-to-be new kitten, i'm sure you'll have loads of fun! Good advice so far, i'm not sure that I have much to add! I have two kittens (and two big cats). 1. For the first week or so keep the kitten in a room with her food, scratch post and litter tray until she settles...

Gosh things sure differ over in the states to the UK . I love my cats & I found some of your comments a bit hurtful There are a few cultural differences that I have become aware of when reading your posts that I would like to share if I can. As I said in my post, rescue centres here recommend...

I just adopted a 4 month old kitten and introduced him to my two existing cats (aged 6 and 8). If you do a search theres some really good introduction topics on this forum which I found really useful when introducing them I hope that you don't have any problems, neutered males are usually more...

Stalker yes definitely get his vacs up to date as theres lots of nasties out there. But hey don't feel guilty, cats are adaptable, he'll get used to his routine and he can have just as good a life indoors as your other kitties prove! Hope it works out Paulla-Tilly Well done for rescuing her ...
