    Weaning question/possible URI

    When kittens attack! What I do, and this may be controversial, is act like a mother cat. As in, I very gently tap the baby on the head with ONE finger and make a high pitches "No!" sound. Sometimes I'll include a soft hiss, like a cat. When babies are hand-raised, they don't have a mother to...

    I'm glad I didn't offend you. Well, it seems you're going to have babies soon! The advice the more experienced members have given is excellent as usual. The only things I can think to add are: I think you should make a huge effort to be with her when she goes into labor. Most cats will...

    My cat horde!

    Yes, my kids said that Mew looked like their kitten, but then I reminded them that they're both fixed boys so that's impossible. I tried to keep them separate, but my living conditions said that that was impossible. Since Mew was declared healthy, I gave in and let the others meet him. A few...

    I hope I don't offend you by mentioning this, but sometimes, if your cat is very young, it's better for her if you get her spayed in early pregnancy. She might be too small to physically give birth safely, not to mention the strain on her body to grow babies when she is just a baby herself...

    Sick kitten

    Weigh your orphans if you can. A baby who won't nurse can sometimes be helped by rubbing honey or pure corn syrup on her gums. Kittens lose energy frightfully fast if they're dehydrated or not eating. Even one missed meal is too much. Every hour, offer KMR. If you can get some Nutrical, water...

    I'm a newbie here, and I'd like to introduce my kitties to everyone. This is Tracer. She's a spayed 10 year old hairball of a kitty who loves to be cuddled, and unfortunately loves to sit on myb chest. She's pretty big, lol. Next is Samson. I got him the day after my beloved Squeak...

    Adopting an older cat

    One of my horde is a senior. This is Tracer. She is almost ten. I got her when she was five, on her way to the pound because her previous owners didn't want a car around their baby. I had a newborn myself at the time, and I knew the tales of cats stealing baby's breath were stupid so if...
