Today my sister brought me a new kitten, a long haired little girl I'm guessing the little one is around 5-8 weeks, but she seems fairly young (still teething). The problem is, after being with my sister for a week, baby kitty's breath smells foul like bad wet food, and she has dark brown runny...

Hello everyone, long time no see! While taking care of my grandparents' house while they were away, I found a stray male cat, begging for the food I was leaving out for raccoons. I fed him some cat food from inside, and I would love to keep him, but four cats are enough for my household...

My kitty Tehya was picked up in a trailer park sevreal months ago... during the time she has been with us, she has had a nasty cough, sort of like hacking up hairballs. She would wheeze, especially after drinking water or purring for a while. She also got pregnant before we took her, and has had...

Well, time for Tehya's kittens to be weaned... the only problem, two of the four don't want to eat solid or semi-solid food. They absolutely refuse to eat anything but mum's milk, and hunt her down until she will stop and feed them. How can I get them to stop drinking and entice them with the...

Hey everyone Long time no see, I know... but as Tehya's kittens are reaching 4 wks (this Sunday!!!) they are of course getting to be little busybodies. I cut out a section of their box so they can walk in and out, otherwise they constantly scratch at the sides and cry to be let out to play...

Hey everyone Tehya's kittens are now at the age where they need to be socialized with people and other cats. I've chosen which of our other 3 cats I'll introduce first, but how do I proceed in doing this? Do I take mom out of the room, and put Sierra (she's probably about 11 years old, Persian...

Two of Tehya's kittens are what looks like blue-point Siamese. The little girl seems to have the Siamese "defect" (sorry forget what its called exactly) where the pupils of their eyes are farther apart, and not centered like they should be. Does this affect their eyesight at all? If it does, I...

Well, I'm doing a response to a book for my English class... which would be entirely normal, if not for the fact that I am doing it on The Complete Cat Book by Paddy Cutts! It's one of those great informative books with lots of info on cats, but not exactly one you would do a response to...

OK, here's the scoop; I have a persian, a half-persian, and two domestic shorthair cats, plus four shorthair kittens. What sort of brushes/combs etc. do I need to buy that would benefit both longhair and shorthair cats? We have some cat brushes, but I don't think its what I need grooming-wise...

Hey everyone, sorry but I'm going to have to vent for a second One of Tehya's kittens has a pink eye (not open yet) and I've already posted and asked about it, and everyone thinks the same as I do... take him to the vet. So, as soon as my father gets home from work, I tell him (though I...

One of Tehya's kittens, Glacier, has something wrong with his eye I think. All of their eyes are starting to blink a little bit, getting ready to open. But one of Glacier's eyes seems to be shut tight, there is something like hard, dried pus that's reddish pink around it, and the eyes seems...

I know, dumb question to ask in these forums But what is the most outrageous, silly, or random thing you've done to keep your cats happy? You all know what I'm talking about... one of those things your family looks at you funny and moves back a few steps Recently I've taken up sleeping on a...

Aww, the kittens eyes are beginning to open!!! I have about 5 or 6 layers of green cling-wrap around a flashlight (its dark where mama had them, I use it to see them ) Is this okay as long as I don't shine the light directly on them? Thanks! Laurel

I read the stickies at the top of the forum, but they don't seem to be answering my question. My first cat (well, the first that is all mine ) Neko-Chan is my sweet little baby, my pride and joy Even though he is neutered, he still sprays because another young boy we had here for awhile was...

According to ASPCA, the month of June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month!!! I say we band together and make the most of this month! What better time then to add a new lil one to the family then Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month??? Laurel

Tehya's babies are 4 days old, so their eyes will start opening soon (according to the kitten calender ) But the place where she had them, underneath an entertainment center, is just not going to be big enough. I've got a box ready to go, so my question is when should I move them (when their...

Just curious, but am I the youngest person on these forums? I'm 14... lol so yeah, I think I am, but I'm not sure. Just curious! *And please no cracks about curiosity killing the cat *

One of Tehya's babies died this morning. The poor poor little guy, he was the only one I had named so far... I named him Gumby, one of my best friend's nicknames. He was having trouble breathing... we think he inhaled fluid when he was born. His mommy took him away when she knew something was...

When Tehya had her babies early Sunday morning, she had them underneatha huge oak entertainment center. There isn't much space (in terms of how high the space behind it is.) There is only about 5, maybe 6 inches tall max. The kittens are starting to pee and poo, and I know they can't just go all...

One of Tehya's newborns has what seems to be mucus around its muzzle. When I felt it, it felt wet and sticky. Is there a problem, or am I getting nervous over nothing? I've had a lot of problems with these kittens today, and found out everything is normal... here's hoping this is going to be...
