For the last month or so I've been caring for a stray cat that I found in a different neighborhood than I live in. He was such a sweet cat I could tell he lived with humans for some time, even if he had been living on the street for a while. I initially just picked him up to take him to get...
Sorry not to have replied. Everything is okay. Thanks so much for the advice.
A few hours after I posted this Binx started eating a bit a food at a time. He wouldn't eat much, but he did eat, so I decided to wait out the weekend (He ate a little bit at a time) and bring him to the vet when...
I have a four-month-old kitten, Binx who hasn't eaten in the last 24 hours. I've put out all of his favorite foods and treats and he sort of just sniffs them and then walks away. I left dry food out overnight with a few of his favorite snacks (freeze dried shrimp) sprinkled in, and the shrimp...
He's 15 weeks, and I can't clip his nails yet because I can't get my hands on him (he was/is feral, and has only been with me for three weeks), but as soon as I can get him to the vet (which has been pushed back several times due to issues getting him into his carrier) I will ask if they can...
My kitten, Binx, has begun climbing into my bed at night and pawing at my feet, arms, and hands, as well as leaping around in bed and clawing at the blankets. I don't want to discourage him from being close to me, but I can't sleep at night because he keeps pawing at me and waking me up. He's...
The issue with throwing a towel over him is that he is VERY fast, and he has a lot of places to hide once he realizes I'm trying to catch him. (He's very quick. He's probably an excellent mouser). I haven't gotten scratched by him at all in the effort to get him into a carrier, but I'm sure...
Binx had a vet appointment today, and I needed to get him into his carrier in order to take him. He's progressing okay with his comfort around humans, but he's still very skittish, and doesn't let me touch him or move towards him very quickly. I've been leaving his carrier out with him since I...
I finally found him! He was sitting under a blanket on my couch. He was so tiny he barely made a bulge in the blanket so I didn't bother to check at first. Thanks for the help with hiding spot ideas, and listening to me freak out...
I've left out saucers with baby food, his favorite wet food, and dry food around the apartment, and he hasn't eaten anything. I even left for a little while in case he wasn't coming out because i was around, nothing was eaten. At this point he hasn't eaten in seven hours at least, which isn't...
I have a 14 week old kitten, Binx, who is currently lost somewhere in my (rather small) apartment.
I just got home from being away from him for the first time (just for a couple of days) and the catsitter said he was here and eating the last time they came. I figured he might not be happy...
The laser pointer toy has not arrived yet BUT Binx played with me today! (sort of, I guess?) He was lying down on his back stretching out (another first!!!) and playing with a little crinkle ball, and every time it got far away from him I nudged it back over to him and we sort of played "catch"...
My 13 week old Kitten, Binx, had diarrhea on Friday, and again this morning. He's been eating a little less and drinking quite a bit more water than seems normal (although I have only had him for about ten days so I can't be totally sure yet about what's normal for him).
Is there anything I...
I'm going to get a laser pointer toy, because I think that could be a good bridge for getting him to play with me. I expect at least initially he won't realize the laser pointer is coming from me and feel like he's playing on his own, but maybe he'll realize it is me, and feel safer eventually...
He was neutered last week, the same day I adopted him.
I have tried to play with a wand type toy with him, but he gets scared of it and hides--if I'm holding it that is. if I leave it on the ground he goes right ahead and plays with it by himself. He also has a treat ball, a crinkle ball...
