    Advice to deter 8-month old cat from attacking my hair?

    How old was she when she grew out of it? My cat doesn't sleep with me (I'm a very light sleeper and having a cat in the bed with me would just keep me up all night) so luckily I don't have to deal with it while I'm sleeping. I figured it's something she'll grow out of, I'm just hoping there's...

    Advice to deter 8-month old cat from attacking my hair?

    She's 8 months old. I've tried many types of toys: small toy mice, stuffed animals, balls, drinking straws (she really loves those and they have helped with her biting tremendously), the toy on a pole type of toys, more interactive toys like balls on a track, literally I've tried every toy that...

    Advice to deter 8-month old cat from attacking my hair?

    Please let me know if this isn't the appropriate place for this post, I wasn't sure where would be the best place. My kitten attacks my hair constantly. I have relatively long hair, but I almost always keep it in a ponytail or bun. Over the last month or two, my cat has started attacking my...

    Confused and upset after first vet visit

    Thanks everyone. Regarding the vet being a cat owner: I've now realized that there are actually two vets at the pet clinic I went to, so I can't be sure if the vet we saw today was the cat owning one. The vet I met today didn't look like the vet I saw when I looked up the clinic online (and the...

    Confused and upset after first vet visit

    And I'm not even talking about the kitten! Took my kitten to the vet for the first time earlier today. I was very excited because I learned that this vet was a cat owner (most around here are dog owners). Everything was going fine, check in, take her back, the nurse took her back for tests or...

    Meet Sky

    I'm a new and first time kitten owner, so I could be very wrong, but you mentioned you've tried keeping him in your room at night but he scratches to get out. I'm assuming you close the door, is there a litter box in your room? Maybe he scratches to get out because he needs to go relieve...

    Tips for a first-time cat owner?

    Hi everyone, I've posted in the New Cats on the Block section, but I figured for this question I would post here. I'm the proud new momma of an adorable 9-week old kitten, Lux. She's great. I just had a few questions- what's the best way to teach her to "play nice" with me? She's pretty good...

    Quick question from a first time kitten mom!

    What's the best way to teach my 8 week old kitten to "play nice" with me? She's pretty good about it, but sometimes I'll be sitting in the floor with her, playing with one of those cat lure toys, or a toy mouse, and she'll decide to pounce on my knee/toe/whatever she decides to go for close to...

    Meet Lux!

    Thanks everyone for the pretty kitty compliments! I'm so excited to see how she looks and acts and changes as she grows up. I'll be sure to try to post updated pictures relatively often, I'm trying to take a few every couple of days, think it would be fun to make a little collage of her first...

    Meet Lux!

    Thank you! Yeah, she doesn't even like that toy, she just stares at it like she's scared of it. I might try to re-introduce it when she's a little older but right now she's not into it. I'll remember what you said about the marble though, I don't want her getting hurt!

    Meet Lux!

    I adopted Lux yesterday from my local humane society. She had been there her whole life, with her sisters and her momma. She is very feisty and sassy, but can get super cuddly if she's sleepy. She loves her pink jingly ball-on-a-string, climbing until she's so high that she's scared to come back...

    New to cats and this forum! Help please!

    Apparently I panicked a little too soon, she has definitely used the litter box. She's just very good at burying so I had to dig around more than I expected to find the little clumps. She's not declawed, I know how inhumane that is :( I could never do that to a kitty! Where's the best place to...

    New to cats and this forum! Help please!

    I just adopted a kitten from the local humane society yesterday. She did great when I brought her home, exploring her little safe room I set up for her, she ate really well and drank some water. However, overnight it doesn't appear that she has drank anymore water, she hasn't used the litter...
