Because of a cold snap,, we've had space heater on for kitties and have also left a small light on where they sleep. Have been trying to get our 1 unspayed kitty into clinic where she doesn't have to remain overnight and they have been super busy. Could the extra heat provided by space heater...
Hesitate to say she/he is a feral as I think she goes back and forth between house across the street (winters under their deck) and spends some evenings @ our house in spring/summer and maybe next-door neighbor's as well. She is a survivor! Been around @ least 3-4 years. Today was first day I...
Hi; only happening 1/3 cats. I know people can't provide med advice, so wondering what your experience has been. Would like to try and treat first before vet, as it seems it's fairly common. Online it says that can be due to 1. fleas 2. fungus 3. dietary problems.
We've just come out of a long...
Hi everyone! Love this site. 2 kittens we raised from birth and have always been indoor have both had initial fvrcp shot (one w/in 3-4 mos. of birth; one several mos. later) but we didn't get the boosters as I've been dealing with elderly parent in and out of hospital. Both are very healthy...
Hi! Thanks everyone for helping out with my other thread and recent loss of a kitten I raised. Anyway, we find ourselves with donated wet cat food past its best by date - now by about 6 mos. Most is wild salmon. It was donated when we suddenly found ourselves with 3 new cats and extra kittens...
We adopted out 2 kitties to a wonderful family. But whereas they had told me cats would be indoor, apparently not. Had said they would get a wireless control system . . . but they didn't (it's been a year) and one of these 2 amazing kitties was hit by a car. I'm fit to be tied. I'm very mad. Of...
Hi; I have a beautiful rescue cat, non-purebred. She had a litter and all kittens went to good homes and were spayed/neutered. If I wanted her to have another litter before spaying - just bc she's so cool and pretty -- I would give kittens to good homes -- have been told I'd need a stud as I...
I am on making this thread because my cat is eating weird little fibers, although she eats primarily dry food which is the best food available. What amt of fiber should it have? thx
Hi! . Kittens now are 4.5 mos. old. In part because, due to covid, it's taking so long to get a spay apptmt and in the meantime my cat has heat symptoms, I am wondering if I let her have 1 more litter, will the pre-existing kittens find the newly-hatched kittens and paw them/attack/interfere...
Hello, all. I was reading through a 2014 post re pros/cons of spaying a cat. We took in my kitty -- who seemed to be living in our yard during the rainy months of November and we had twice found curled up on our porch mat last July -- and she accidentally got out in Jan. and had 5 perfect...
Hi! Everyone is always so helpful on this site. My poor cat has been in heat for about 3 weeks (gave birth 2.75 mos. ago). I have received conflicting advice on where to go for the spay; one very experienced cat owner said to go to a local vet and not the high volume local spay/neuter clinic...
Hi! We have bought several diff. kinds of the best quality food. She knows where we keep it and the act of pulling the tab off the can. Hence, she seems to only want it out of can. If refrigerated -- only for a few hrs -- she will generally look at me as if I have served her chunks of cement and...
Hi! One kitten sometimes plays with littermates, but often is hiding in a corner/nook somewhere while others are rough-housing. She was however, just feeding while one of the more rambunctious and larger kittens had to scramble to find a spot.
She seems a little more scared than littermates. I...
Hi! Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Cat had 5 kittens -- all seemed healthy. Almost 3 weeks old. Queen moved nest for 3rd time today into very crowded room into a cardboard wine box on a bed. We hadn't seen kitty for a few hours, heard a weird noise, she was very agitated. one...
