Hi all, Like most of you, I love my kittens as if they were my own children. My four-month-old ragdoll kitten, Snowpea, has always been super energetic. On Saturday he got neutered, and was doing okay until yesterday, when I noticed that he wasn't as energetic as usual. He still cuddled with me...

Hi all! We just adopted a new 9 wk-old kitten, and I am so confused looking at all the kitten food choices! We are planning on giving him Nutro Complete Care Indoor Kitten dry food (my other two cats have done so well on Nutro), but I have no idea what to give as a kitten canned food. I can only...

hi everybody! emma almost had an accident today, her legs were peeking out just as i was opening the door! fortunately i opened the door slowly and was able to shoo her away. what tactics do you guys have for keeping your kitties away from the front door?

hi everybody! i am thinking of switching my fur-babies from nutro dry (indoor complete care formula) to chicken soup just because i think the ingredients look better (plus with all the pet food recall scare) but i am worried that they will gain weight. right now they are of normal weight, a...

Hello, I'm a little bit worried as my 1-year-old tabby Mochi just vomited up some icky green stuff! He sounded a little bit weird and then suddenly all this green stuff came out, with some chunks of food in it. He seemed a little weirded out, but then was back to normal in minutes -- he's...

during the daytime, one of my cats usually sleeps on my bed ... but if we have clothes laying around either on the bed or on the floor, he usually sleeps on top of or near that. i wonder if it's because they like the smell of their humans anybody else's kitten have this interesting quirk?

Hi all! My kitty Mochi just got his last FVRCP (yay!) as a kitten. Usually, he has a pretty bad reaction to the shots -- he sleeps for about two days after that and is feverish and cranky. It's been two days now though, and Mochi has been having a sore back the whole time (something new) -- I...

Hi all! I am going to be switching my kittens to adult food soon, but staying with the same brand (Nutro). My question is, is it okay to change the type of dry food you give like every couple of days? There are tons of different flavors of adult food, and I'm wondering if it's okay to buy the...

Hi all!! Well, our little baby boy is about 11-12 lbs and he is only about 10.5 months old. We are worried about his health and wonder what we should be doing to get him to be leaner. His adopted sister, is eating just enough and stable at 7 lbs (she is the same age). We are currently...

Hi everyone! I have never been able to keep Mochi's collar on for very long ... I first had one of those safety collars, but he was able to dispense was that very quickly. Then I got one of those collars that look like a belt, which I thought would be impossible to loosen, but Mochi eventually...

Hi everyone! Today Mochi really freaked me out by starting to wheeze ... about 20-30 seconds later he started coughing. He hasn't done it since, but I was wondering if it's anything I should be concerned about. Is it a hairball cough? He's not stuffy or anything and not sneezy, and he hasn't...

hey all! mochi goes through cycles of being cranky and biting everything all the time (i'm pretty sure he is teething) and being super super lovey-dovey and nice. he's now eight months old, which is getting pretty old .... how long does a cat usually take to grow all of his teeth?

hi all, both of my kittens like to lick me ... today as i was taking a nap, mochi licked my chin and woke me right up! i know dogs lick ppl as a sign of affection, is it the same with cats?

My two 7-month-old kittens, Mochi and Emma, haven't always gotten along (they are not from the same litter). When we first got them, they would always fight (Emma would hiss at Mochi) and even up till a week ago Mochi kept biting Emma until she cried. Today, however, they have been grooming each...

how do you train a kitten to use the covered litterbox? we always used the open ones before, but since the smell got kinda bad in my small apartment i bought a booda dome. i've left it open for about three days, but yesterday i put on the cover. both my kitties came up and looked at it, the boy...

Emma is sleeping next to me right now, and she is twitching in all four of her limbs ... is she just dreaming or is that something to be worried about?

Haha ... my girl kitten (4/5 months now) always wipes her paws obsessively on the towel underneath her litter box after she goes number two ... funny how animals can be anal about being clean too!

I've had my kittens for about three months now, and I've noticed that I've started wheezing a lot more during exercise (I always wheezed during exercise, but now it has gotten worse) and am short of breath at night. I'm just wondering if this is related to the cats at all ... has anyone had...

Hi everybody! I've had my two kittens for about three months now, and everything has been going along great - they are both about five and a half months now. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I need to go back to visit my family (they live five hours away by car). My parents are perfectly willing...

My kittens have always been curious, but today when I opened the door the girl zipped right out and ran circles around my apartment building. I spent about 5 min chasing after her before I got a hold of her . I know chasing wasn't probably the best idea but the complex is pretty big and I was...
