    kittens and mirrors

    Am I being really mean? Cleo has spent the last twenty minutes fighting herself in a mirror I propped against the wall, therefore leaving me to surf the net without having to remove her from my keyboard every few seconds.

    kitten jealous of older cat

    My 16 year old and 3 month old get along reasonably well in that they ignore each other most of the time. They sleep at opposite ends of the same sofa and eat next to each other. The problems arise when I try to give my older cat any attention. The kitten, Cleo, immediately jumps on Tabs back or...

    blood in kittens stools

    I've made an appointment at the vets this evening for Clara but would appreciate any advice before then if possible. Clara is 8 weeks old tomorrow and I've noticed a very small amount of blood in each of the three deposits she left in the litter tray overnight and this morning. It's not mixed in...

    Tabitha is scared stiff of the new kitten

    I've been keeping Clara in the kitchen away from Tab since she arrived yesterday and plan to introduce them gradually. Unfortunately, when i got up this morning she escaped through my legs when i opened the kitchen door. She didn't get far before i managed to grab her and put her back in but it...

    how often should i feed new kitten?

    ok this is the first of many questions i'm sure! Clara came home today. She's only seven weeks but her mum's owners didn't want to keep her any longer. They've been feeding her Whiskas kitten food (the pouches of wet food). According to the box i should be giving her four of these per day. She...

    Where should new kitten sleep at night?

    Hi, Sorry if this sounds like a really basic question but i've only ever had adult cats in the past and my new kitten will be coming home in two weeks time.

    Vaccinating old cats

    Hi, A new kitty will be joining us in around 5 weeks and of course i'll be making sure she receives all her neccessary jabs. However i also have a 16 year old cat, Tabitha, who has never been vaccinated. She didn't come to me until she was 11 and the vet told me there was no point in giving her...

    Considering adopting a kitten

    I've never been a mom to a kitten before. Both of my cats, Kipling (now deceased) and Tabitha came to me as adult rescue cats. However I've been asked whether i'd be able to give a home to a kitten and I think i'd really like to. There are only two in the litter (born four days apart, how odd is...

    waiting for the vet to call

    i came home yesterday to find my precious Tabitha trying to walk on very wobbly legs. She'd been fine when i left the house that morning. When i picked her up she cried. I got her to the vets straightaway and she felt a lump in Tabs stomach so I had to leave her there overnight and they are due...

    plastic cone collars

    hi, tabs just come back from the vets following an op on her paw and they've given her one of those cone shaped collars to stop her licking her stitches. So far she just won't settle. She's walking around the house bumping into things and trying to shake it off. She managed to eat after i...

    poked in the eye!

    Hi, I'm used to being woken up by a punch in the eye socket by my 15yr old cat, Tabitha. She used to just do this at breakfast time if i'd been lazy enough to try for a sleep in. But lately she's started doing it all the time. Even now as i sit typing, she is sat on the desk poking me in the...
