    My Bottle Baby

    This little boy is 31 days old. His mom got hit by a car and I've had him for 2 weeks not. He's doing very well. He didn't have any siblings, so he's kind of timid and not as playful as other kittens.

    Scratching Himself Bloody

    I am temporarily keeping my daughter's cat, and have noticed bloody marks on his face, between the eyes and ears. He also has what feels like scabs on his head and around his neck. I haven't actually seen him scratching. He is normally an inside cat, but we know he got outside for several...

    How to handle letting kitten out my room situation?

    I would just open the door and talk to her, and let her decide when to come out and how far she wants to come. It might take some days before she makes the decision. Talk to her and praise her a lot.

    Retraining poop

    I have 7 cats - 4 males and 3 females. Have had all those since October. Last week one of my females suddenly started pooping everywhere except the cat box. I am pretty sure it's because the 3 younger males fight with her. They are all fixed. Presently I have the female in the bathroom with...

    Me too. We call Zeke our "bathroom cat' and Bitsy likes to climb inside my pants while they're down.

    So... how DO you discipline a cat?

    The spray air duster cans work pretty well, because they sound like a cat hissing.

    Clingy Cat

    Recently we adopted a new cat. Her name is Squeaky and she was about a year old when we got her. Before coming to live with us, she was in a foster home. We already had five cats, so she is the sixth. Squeaky follows me everywhere, and gets on my lap as often as possible. When I sleep, she...

    Clingy New Cat

    We adopted a new cat, Squeaky, recently, and she was about a year old when we got her. We already had five, so we have six cats now. Squeaky seems to think she is an only cat. She follows me everywhere. When I sit down she wants to be on my lap. When I sleep she wants to be on top of me. I...

    Parvo?

    I have read that cats can't get Parvo. Is this true? What DO kittens get? What should I be careful of if and when I bring any more kittens home? I don't want my own cats to get anything, although they do have their vaccinations.

    too weak to suck

    I am sorry to say that they did not make it. I called all over town and drove to a few places, but the tubes were just not available. They died real fast, and they were peaceful. We sat and held them, so they were warm and as happy as possible. I know they don't all make it. This was the...

    too weak to suck

    Someone dumped three newborn kittens with me Sunday night. At that time two were drinking the bottle just fine and one wasn't. That one died yesterday (after 24 hours with me). Last night one was sucking fine and the other was not. Now they are both too weak to suck. I have heard of tube...

    16 days old

    The orphans I brought home last week are all alive and healthy still. They are five boys, can you believe it? There are 4 yellow tabby ones and one white one. I have pics, but can't figure out how to post them. So how long do I bottle feed? How much? How often? At present each kitten is...

    5 1-week-old orphans

    They have now survived a day and a half in our care. I already printed out some of that website, and a few others that were helpful on ages and amount to feed. They are all strong little guys! Natural climbers, every one. There is one runt. He whines more, and does not take naturally to the...

    5 1-week-old orphans

    The how high can your cat jump thread!

    They sure seem to like those toys! There is no way I can take a picture while I'm wiggling the toy, but Bitsy jumps that high AND does a 360 in midair when I play with her. Great pictures, everyone.

    I'm working on Christmas. Me and my ex alternate holidays with our son. Isaac will be at his Dad's house for Christmas, so I'm happy to have something to do that day.

    Anyone else have an irrational fear of doctors?

    I don't fear them, but I certainly distrust them. I really think we shouldn't have to pay them if they dont' help us. I hate paying so much money just to have them translate my symptoms into Latin.

    I'm sure we've covered this before, but....

    Mine head for the can opener when I get home from work. They also want to use the cat box as soon as I put fresh litter in.

    Surprise!

    My cats have always liked to keep me company in the bath. I had one once that liked to lick the soap off my arm. I guess he figured out I was grooming myself, and wanted to help.

    kitten in the car...

    Another thing I worry about is what if the cat gets out the window or out the door? How would you ever find her again? I took two cats to Germany and back. We were military and they were members of the family. They make airline safe carriers. When we went through New York, the taxi driver...
