    Can You Help Us With Kitten’s Gender?

    We took this kitten in a couple of months ago and at the time the vet told us that she was a girl. However, over the past month I’ve noticed several cases of err... red rocket, while kitten is self grooming. Is it possible to definitively tell from these photos? Thanks!

    Introducing new cat (with no kitty manners) to resident cat?

    Hi everyone, So we've been trying to introduce a cat we adopted a few days ago to our resident cat, Coconut. WE've had them separated for a few days, have been swapping socks, blankets and other items with their scents to each other. We have them eat while separated by a thin opening in a...

    Samantha (Coconut)

    Hi, This is our first cat. Coconut (formerly Samantha), was adopted last week. She did not like going to the vet, so she tore her way through the box and calmed down a lot once she could stick her head out and survey the vet's waiting room.

    Adopted cat. Recurring URI? Attitude changed after acclimating?

    Hi everyone, My wife and myself are both first-time cat owners. We adopted our cat from a shelter early December. However, a couple of days after we took her home she became lethargic and soon starting coughing, sneezing and gagging. Her eyes were giving out yellow and brown discharge. We took...
