    Scooter - a beautiful kitten whose life was taken by an evil adopter. :(

    Thank you everyone for your kind words. :( I truly don't understand how people like this can exist. And Pipa, my condolences for your Sasha. RIP :( I am really having a hard time coping with this. Not even the shelter had any idea the man was planning on having Scooter put to sleep, the vet...

    Scooter - a beautiful kitten whose life was taken by an evil adopter. :(

    I just wanted to share what happened to my beloved foster kitten Scooter. I loved this boy dearly. And I thought that, when he was adopted by a home that seemed perfectly fine, that when they had signed the contract that said he'd be returned to the shelter if anything came up, he was going to...

    13 week old kitten refuses to be touched

    Thanks for the responses. She never initiates contact with me, she will hang around her siblings and her mother, but only comes to me if I'm feeding them. She doesn't mind walking around me while she's doing her own thing though. But even then I still can't pet her. I usually try petting her...

    13 week old kitten refuses to be touched

    Hi everyone... The kittens in the cat family I'm fostering are 13 weeks old now. Still no takers, but only one has a personality I'm genuinely worried about when it comes to trying to place her. She refuses to be touched. Even if she is sleeping or eating and I try to pet her, she will run...

    9 week old kittens still not eating solids?

    Thanks for the reply. :) I've tried putting wet food on their mouths and on them, they just act disgusted and leave it there until mama cleans them. I'm pretty sure they're not eating dry food, and they're definitely not eating wet food. Neither seem to acknowledge dry food as being food, they...

    9 week old kittens still not eating solids?

    I am fostering a cat family of 6 kittens. The kittens will be 9 weeks old day after tomorrow and two of them still aren't eating any solid food - they're still just nursing. Is this normal? What can I do to help? Or should I just give it more time? I've tried just about everything - KMR in a...

    Overprotective Mother & Kitten Socialization?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try them. I'm not sure what it is that makes her so overprotective of her kittens with me. She's perfectly sweet to me when I'm leaving the kittens alone, and I can't imagine I smell that much differently than my husband. She has her own bedroom so...

    Overprotective Mother & Kitten Socialization?

    Hi everyone, I took in a pregnant foster, she had 6 babies here and they are 11 days old today. I'd like to get them used to handling and human presence (the kittens are still all hissing at me every time I approach the nest, lol), but Momma will not let me. The first time I looked at them too...

    Nursing mom cat's hard teats?

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately we don't keep olive oil in the house. Hopefully the vet will see her tomorrow. I can tell she's not feeling well. If not I'll pick up some olive oil tomorrow. I guess in the mean time I should just put warm water on them, if she lets me. I'm a little...

    Nursing mom cat's hard teats?

    We took in a mother cat and her babies when the babies were 11 days old. The babies are now a little over 5 weeks. We've had no problems until yesterday, when I noticed momma cat's teats were getting really hard. Today they are hard as rocks, and are so hard that they're practically hanging...

    Cat Furniture ... Trees/Towers, etc

    Although I can't recommend any websites, I can address some of your other points. Cats generally do like cat trees, but not all cats are into cat trees. Some will ignore them completely, some will ignore certain features on them completely. Sometimes it will end up being a hideous waste of...

    How hot is too hot for cats?

    I was just wondering the same thing myself today. We're having a really bad heat wave here, and while my cats are used to colder temperatures, my long haired foster mother cat seems to be struggling with the heat, even panting once in a while. And there's nowhere else in the house to move them...
