Good on you for finding the kittens! They're really adorable. I truly hope you keep mom inside, all it takes is one accident with a car and the kittens will no longer have the queen.
If cat treats are the problem then cut them out of the daily diet. My kitties get 3-5 small treats a day max. I don't like switching food since cats can be really sensitive but if you are questioning your vets opinion then find a second opinion from a different vet.
It could just be the medication, but there's always a risk of URI when there are several cats in a confined area which may or may not be sick already. Wait it out unless it gets worse.
Cats naturally dig a hole and bury their business, so litter box training is really easy once they know where it is. I'd get some litter that doesn't have a scent to it just to start her off and eventually transition to whatever litter you typically use.
Once she is cleared medically and has...
She stayed with them all night I can't tell if the grey/silver one will get stripes or not but ugh they're just so adorable! Thank you Sarthur2 for your constant support, it means so much!
Haha I feel silly thinking she could be in heat. Little brat had them on my bed while I was making coffee & "dinner". She was very upset when I had to move them but 4 as of right now, thinking she's probably done. I'll snap some pictures when I put her wet food down this afternoon. ^_^ She did a...
I just need to know if a late term pregnant cat can go into heat? I'm really confused by this cat who is due any day now. She suddenly started yowling, it looked like maybe she was going into labor (nesting, harder breathing that *could have* been light contractions, she tried to go to the...
What about using plywood as a second top for the cage(s)? You could put some nickle sized holes in them if they need the top to let air in. Does your kitty have several places to lay in just for him that are up high? Maybe one near a window would help deter Onyx from wanting to be on the gerbil...
Exactly what I'm saying :) cats (and dogs) need variety. I like to compare it to humans, would you be happy with just eating cocoa puff cereal 24/7/365? Naw, you'd probably want some cheerios or fruity pebbles. I change my formula every time I buy a new bag of kibble. Same brand, different...
You should be changing the formula throughout the year, not just once a year. Keep the same brand but get a different main meat for the kibble. You transition your kitty slowly; 3/4 old food mixed with 1/4 new food for a few days, then 1/2 old food and 1/2 new food for a few days, etc.
I would...
I'm really sorry about your kitty. I think you need a second opinion from a different vet. You should also reconsider her diet- cats need taurine and by feeding mostly cooked chicken your cat won't be getting enough of it unless you're supplementing.
