Hi. This is completely for fun, but I had 6 foster kittens born 2 weeks ago. 3 dark tabbies (mama is a brown tabby), two grey tabbies and one white, who is clearly going to be a colorpoint. She has already developed a dark grey nose and grey tail. I'm curious what type of colorpoint she will...

I took in a pregnant cat (I've been fostering for a year but this is my first preggo mama), and the vet estimated her to be due about 2 weeks ago. LOL. So obviously the vet was really off, but now it's driving me crazy bc I feel she is due any day, but I haven't done this before. I've been...

is it asking for trouble? I have a female and a male cat both around 1.5 years old. I've been fostering kittens and of course keep wanting to adopt one of my own fosters. But I feel so conflicted because my own two (while not very snuggly with humans) have such a nice harmony between them. I...

I will post a pic below. On Saturday one of our cats wound up in the closet, he is a fearful cat and that's where he goes when he gets scared. I had no idea why at the time, but the next morning (yesterday) we noticed a wound (or lesion?) on his nose. It's now Monday, he is licking his nose a...

I'd love to hear from anyone with experience! My healthy 1.5 year old cat was found to have a heart murmur at her well check yesterday. Grade 3. It was not heard when she was a kitten. The vet did say it could possibly be from the stress of being at the vet, but she suggested we go see a...

Okay. . .weird. But my 1yo cat just fell (not from high up though) against the edge of a trash can and this super smelly brown liquid shot out of her. She doesn't seem hurt and after some research, I think the angle of impact caused her anal glands to express. I've never experienced anything...

I think maybe the recipe changed slightly or this batch is off? My two young adult cats have been eating mostly raw food for the past few months, I buy a two weeks supply at a time. . .well, this last batch I brought home they will not touch. Not take a single bite. :( Not only is that $50...

We have two cats, a female 1 year old and a male 9 month old. They get along very well, no issues there and also no potty accident issues, they sleep pretty well at night, etc. I have been fostering kittens this summer (kept separate from my own cats) and one of them I have really bonded with...

I have four foster kittens and one just testing positive for FeLV--she is 8-10 weeks old. The other 3 were negative, so she's now quarantined and they all need retesting in 30 days. But neither I nor the rescue vet have experience with FeLV. I'd love to hear peoples experiences. She's anemic...

I don't really know where this topic belongs or what to call it. . .but I'm struggling a bit with feeling disappointed with our two cats. I really really wanted a snuggly lap cat and neither of our cats is that. I love my two! And I'd never rehome them or anything. . .but sometimes I do feel...

I am fostering a sibling group of 4 kittens. They came from a hoarding type situation and all had URIs and diarrhea and were very underweight. They have been on meds for the URIs and diarrhea and are feeling a lot better. They are pooping in the litterboxes and sometimes peeing there. But...

My 9 month old cat has now had two episodes of this weird dry cough. It looks exactly like he has something stuck in his throat that he is trying to cough out. It's sort of a mixture of a raspy cough and a gag. The first time it happened while he was eating, so I thought he had just eaten too...

I have two cats, both adopted as kittens and they are diffrent as can be. They are bonded and get along great, so I don't think the issue is between them. But my male cat (9 months old) has always been a very shy, cautious cat and I feel like it's worse lately. I wonder if it's partly the...

Hi, I am fostering a mama cat and her kittens. Mama cat has been healthy and was spayed 2 weeks ago. But in the past few days I have noticed she is itching more and loosing a lot of hair. I thought it was just shedding, but now I am seeing some thinning patches on her neck. It's not fleas as...

So, I am fostering a mama cat and her 2, 3 week old babies. We've had them just over a week now and mama cat was already in heat again when she came to us. :( I didn't realize right away bc I have not been around an unaltered cat in so long, plus I didn't know what was her normal behavoir etc...

I wasn't sure where to put this thread. . .but my husband gave me the green light to start planning for a smallish catio. Yay!!! I'm really excited. . .I am committed to keeping my cats indoors, but I love the idea of giving them safe access to some outside. I've been looking at...

I have two kittens, 5 months and 8 months. I’ve been noticing lately that the younger always has broken/short whiskers on one side. What’s going on here? The other cat has full lovely whiskers. Is she nibbling his whiskers off? I tried to photograph it. He has almost no full size whiskers...

Hi all! I have two kittens 8 and 5 months old. From the time we brought the first home I started reading everything I could get my hands on about cats ans nutrition and behavior. I'm into natural health and real food eating for myself, so it only made sense to me to provide that for my cats...

I know I know. . .you can't make a cat do anything! LOL But. . .do you think you can influence a kitten to become more of a lap cat? We have a 7mo and a 5mo, they are very bonded to each other, but also to me. However, they just aren't lap cats. during the day I don't get a lot of snuggles...

I have a 7mo (S) and a 5mo (A). I feed them 3x a day. Pate wet food at 7am, high quality dry food at noon, and TikiCat after Dark at 6pm. When they were a bit younger I'd give them another scoop of dry food before bed, but I've stopped that. They tend to eat about half of what I give at once...
