Recently we have seen some rats in the barn. Not mice, the barn cats take care of these, but real big nasty rats. And the cats don't seem to be bothered by them. Is there any way to get rid of them rats that is risk free for cats?

I have an 11 mo cat which I raised myself (rescued when he was about 8-10 days old). Normally he's very independent, and only seeks human company when he wants to sleep o play. Sometimes, when we leave the house, he meows heartbreakingly for about one minute or two, and then he stops and goes...

I adopted and raised a 10-15 days old kitten whose mother was missing. While he was a baby, he preferred me above my husband. But that changed when he was about 6-7 months old. My husband was working all day, and when he came home, he would take a nap in his lap, and then they would play for...

My cat, now 10 mo (is it still a kitten) is not interested in toys anymore. He doesn´t play with balls of any size or material, he doesn't play with wands (he wants to catch the hand that holds the wand), he's not interested in any kind of toy even if we keep out of sight for some time and then...

Those of you who have kittens or cats with white noses, do you groom them in any special way? My kitten nose is white and with very little hair so most of the time it's bright pink. The other day I saw wandering around the barn a large tuxedo feral cat, he's the only tuxedo I've seen around so I...

My 8 mo kitten was sterilized one month ago. He was eating then dry and raw food, both high in protein. He was growing but he was more on the thin side. Now he is eating the same diet but we introduced a new flavour of dry food, he likes it so much that he devours it, and still eats some of the...

Normally when I'm cooking I keep all ingredients tightly sealed because of my kitten, he likes to jump on the bench and he would be very glad to help himself to a slice of ham or a pork cutlet. But today I was going to grill asparagus, so I didn't think I'd have to take all these extra...

Yesterday I bought some new toys for my kitten, among them three small fluffy balls. We gave him one of them and he liked it very much, I think he played all night long with it. Today, he was playing with it and my husband threw another one to him. And then he changed completely, he went from a...

My 8 mo kitten usually spend his mornings at the window-sill, just looking at passers-by or dozing. We're away in the mornings, my husband goes to work and I'm at school or at the barn with my horses. He's active when I come home, but just exploring whatever it is I've brought home (shopping...

Well, I think this will need a little bit of introduction. At home I have a 7mo cat which I adopted when he was about 8-10 days old. He suddenly appeared at the tackroom of our barn, some boys sweared he had just fallen from the ceiling. His mother was nowhere to be seen, and certainly not one...

I adopted my kitten when he was about 8-10 days old. After feeding him, he would fall asleep sucking his blanket. Sometimes, he sucked my hand or my fingers. I didn't know at the time that this behaviour was called "wool sucking", I assumed it was normal since he'd have spent a longer time...

My 7 mo kitten will only drink running water. When he was very young, we noticed that he'd only drink when we were filling the bowl, so we bought him one of these drinking fountains for pets that keeps the water running all day. At first he drank from it, but then he started to put his paws into...

I have a 7 mo kitten which I adopted at 10 days old. His bottom is all white, and just from the beginning I used to bath him under the tap whenever he was "dirty" with poop, and he didn't seem to mind. I've kept doing so from time to time, because his white fur is sometimes yellowish. He doesn't...

My seven months old kitten takes his favourite rug all over the house. Today I discovered that he is humping the rug!! In our last visit to the vet, he advised us to neuter him in December, before he starts marking his territory. Should we hurry up our visit and have him neutered this month...

Hi, I have a 7 months old kitten, I rescued him when he was barely 10 days, so all he has known is life with us at home. We play with him about one or two hours a day, but lately he's growing more and more restless, and he doesn´t like the old games anymore. He doesn't care for balls, or sticks...

I have a 4 month old kitten, I rescued him when he was just about 8-10 days old. He sleeps for most of the afternoon, but he gets very playful in the morning and in the evening. He sleeps all the night, though. Now we have to be out for three days, and I'm considering several options: 1)...

Hi everybody. Four months ago I rescued an 8 day old kitten, his mother died and I took him home. Until recently we had no problems with him, but now he has become aggressive when he wants to play. Until now he was just happy with his balls and toys, but now when he is really active, he wants to...
