This is my parents' new kitten, Oliver. He has a really unique look with his huge eyes and ears, so they were wondering if he might be a mix of something. What do you think?

I should start by saying that Noah is seeing the vet daily - I'm just wondering if there's anything i can do to help him get over this. Yesterday my 10 week old kitten Noah started acting really lethargic, he just wanted to sleep all day and he's usually quite active. He had no interest in...

Well, as some of you know I've been thinking about getting another kitten. My friend's neighbor's cat had kittens, then the mom got outside and hasn't been back in over a week . So the neighbor has been getting rid of the kittens and asked me to take one. She's not exactly sure how old the...

I'm curious as to how stable size is from birth through adulthood. Is the largest kitten of a litter going to be a large cat, or is there no way to really tell until the kitten starts growing?

Do calicos have a typical temperament? I have an orange and white cat now and will be looking for a buddy for him soon. Moses has the typical active and very social orange cat personality, and I was wondering if calicos are the same. Does it make a difference if they're a dilute calico? What...

Will Moses and the new kitten bond better if the kitten looks like him? Or does it not matter? I read here that someone had a cat that really bonded to another cat that looked just like them.

Okay, a bit of background, but I'll try to keep it brief. Moses is about a year now, I've had him since he was tiny. We actually got him way before we should have (he was 6 weeks) but the pet store lied about his age and we didn't know any better. He's kind of a spunky little guy, and I...

In cleaning out the litter box today I smelled amonia. Some reading up on this has led me to believe that it is possible that Moses has UTI. (Although, it very well could be due to my recent slacking in box scooping...oops.). How is UTI diagnosed? Is it an expensive test, bloodwork, or just a...

Does it exist? I feed Moses just a bit (1 Tbsp, or so) of wet food each night as a treat, and I've just been using the cheap brands I can find at a grocery store. (Meow Mix and Friskies) He doesn't like the pate kind - only the shredded/sliced kind. Of all the cheap brands, what is the best?

Yesterday Moses was periodically sneezing. This morning his ears felt warm. Other than that he is acting normal, running and playing and eating like usual. I haven't changed his litter, my perfume, cleaning supplies, etc. that may cause him to sneeze. Do you think he has a cold? Am I being an...

Ever since I got my cat I've just always left his bowl full of dry food. He's not at all fat (quite small, actually). Is this bad to leave it out for him to eat whenever he wants?

Okay, I've made the decision to add another little one to the family. We've had Moses for 9 months (he's a little over a year) and I'd like for him to have a friend while I'm at work. (Plus, kittens are so fun!!) I have some questions for those of you who have gracefully handled this transition...

I've been thinking about getting another kitten for a while now. Many people have told me that when you have 2 cats, they pay more attention to each other and ignore the owners. I'd love for them to become buddies, but I still want my cats to want to play with me, snuggle, etc. Any opinions on...

This will be my first Christmas with a cat - is there anything I should know about cats and Christmas trees? What happens if they eat the pine needles? Any precautions I should take? Thanks for any help.

Moses is about 6 months old (we think) and his adult teeth are just starting to come in, but his baby teeth haven't fallen out yet. Is this normal?

Hi there, This Sunday me and by bf and Moses (5 months) will be driving 12 hours. I've read up on what a lot of people have done for long road trips, and I haven't read of anyone doing this, but I think it could work. Here's the plan: First of all i'd like to say that I don't have a large...

Has anyone successfully trained their kitten to drink from a syringe or kitten bottle? I'm going on a 12 hr road trip, and had read that bottle/syringe training is the easiest way to make sure they get enough water without having a mess in the carrier. Moses is 5 mos, and LOVES cantalope...

I was wondering what some cat-safe human foods are. (as occasional treats). So far I've heard of cheese, lettuce, cantalope, and plain yogurt. What human foods do you feed your cats?

Hi all, Moses (5 mos) was neutered last Thursday, and since has been quite sleepy. I expected this for the first few days, but now I am starting to get a little concerned. Is it normal for a kitten to sleep ALL day 5 days after a neuter? The first few days I gave him full doses of med from the...

Moses is booked to be neutered later this week (he's 5 mos), what should i expect when he comes home? Will he have stitches? Will he have to wear a cone? Do I have to give him pain meds for a few days? If there are any vets on this site, I would be interested to know what goes on while they're...
