Okay so we moved to a place that gets cold last year.. I’m not used to this weather so maybe I’m extra sensitive.. but I also don’t let my cats outside so it’s extra strange to me that people don’t let their cats inside!!!! Anyways.. so another thing,, several of my neighbors had kittens over...

say it isn’t so..... We have a 15yo main coone (35lbs) A 3mo domestic short hair Two wolf hybrid (dogs, 100lbs & 120lbs) And an 9 week old chihuahua (2.8lbs) We took the chihuahua to the dog park upon vet approval to get some of her high energy out. My big dogs are old now and just lay there...

I have a baby that sometimes cries. Sometimes i sing to my baby. When my baby is crying for more than a couple moments my older cat gives a low and frantic repeated cry and runs low to the ground to my baby. To me this means he’s concerned. He (without nails) bats at the baby and me. If he...

15yo cat thrives with a companion but lost his mate in February. He’s aggressive with adult cats but loves kittens. We adopted an orphaned kitten that didn’t make it. He loved that kitten (as he seemed to love all the fosters we’ve had before). Well, that was painful for me, but a month later...

we adopted a kitten rejected by its mother. I knew there was a chance he had a medical condition as a reason for being unwanted, I just never suspected we’d bond before it took him. He was seemingly healthy at every check up (with the exclusion of needing to be dewormed). 5/19 he stopped...

so I notice some people are cat lovers.. some dog lovers.. some prefer reptiles and fish and amphibians.. some people have animal-specific preferences.. my grandma loves cats but can’t stand dogs. My husbands grandma is an over-the-top dog-enthusiast. I love it! But they just can’t expand that...

I am not capable of letting my cat outside without having a complete emotional break down; please don’t suggest it. My cat keeps running out every chance he gets! He listens very well so if I’m there I just tell him him a stern voice “no. no.” And make a clicking sound I use to call him and...

15yo cat was fixed approx age 5 upon rescue When he’s distressed (baby or kitten crying, or I’m asleep and he wants a treat but I’m not getting up at 3am to get him tuna) he’s been biting blankets, doing that paw-mush thing kittens do when they want to nurse from their mother and purring or...

10 years ago I got my rescue (and grotesquely abused) cat. He is vet presumed 15, currently. When I got my cat he had self inflicted and human inflicted wounds. He was put on Xanax as needed and Prozac daily. We weaned him of both as he turned into a wonderfully trusting and well adjusted member...

im running low on KMR.. when I need to buy more I was considering trying goats milk, now that BittyKitty is healthy.. for a hand-raised (no ma) kitten, is powdered goats milk acceptable?

I see stripes in the hind legs and tail.. I’m guessing future red tabby? Is it too soon to guess long or short hair without having seen parents?

i have a 15yo cat who lost his companion a few months ago.. I lost him for 4 months after a move and just cannot let him out without having complete breakdowns.. now he’s lonely and bored.. I decided to get him a new kitty companion. He’s territorial and mean to adult cats but from what I’ve...

while raising a lone kitten, what are some tips and tricks to teach correct behaviors? How do I say “ow, dont bite, that hurts!” Etc And if my playful wittlewon is teething should I disregard those sharp chomps?

so I was at the shelter looking for a kitten (for my 15yo cat to have a companion, he is mean to unknown adult cats, but from my experience he is affectionate with kittens). They didn’t have any, my husband and I were discussing the idea of attempting different methods of introducing a new cat...

At what age to kittens stop nursing naturally? Will they nurse forever if they're permitted? I originally assumed i'd wait for them to wean.. but then i realized human babies eat food and nurse sometimes 4-5 years.. far after it's "necessary".. are some kittens the same? Am i waiting for a...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.. let me know and I'll move the post if need be.. I had a neighbor whos son brought her a litter of kittens he didn't know what to do with... she kept them.. all of them.. they bred. A few years later and and i kid you not... 30+ cats.. I'd dare to...

I got a rescue cat a few years ago.. well..i kidnapped him from abusers.. he was literally cut up with knives and needed medical attention (he was also neutered). After medical attention he needed rehabilitation. He was fearful and hid for the first few months. We got him a companion cat...

Ok so my vet told me my cat shouldn't be spayed until 6 months of age.. i assumed (very stupidly) that meant she wouldn't be able to get pregnant until then.. we let her be an indoor/outdoor cat just like all the cats I've ever had.. well my neighbor has darn near 30 cats (not an exaggeration...
