    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    Neighbor's dog

    My neighbors have two pit bulls, and one of them is kind of a runt, but she can jump the fence. Every time I feed my dog, she jumps the fence and eats all his food. Usually, she is a real friendly dog to me, but when there's food involved, she acts like pure evil. I have spoken to the...

    Kids and Moms about tattoos, piercings, and clothes

    I recently had a big fight with my daughter because I don't like her tattoos, piercings, and clothes. She told my "Mom, I'm an adult now..." and I told her "Jessica, this is my house..." and now she hates me. I just asked her to wear normal clothes and cover up the chest piercings for...

    Just put up the Christmas tree

    Just put up a Christmas tree. It's tied down and has only unbreakable and nontoxic ornaments on it. So far only one cat is actually IN the tree, and only one ornament has come down. Next challenge: how to put presents under it that don't get unwrapped. Anyone else have ideas on how to...

    How I like to wake up in the mornings.

    I love to wake up and find Bitsy under the covers by my legs, Spock under my right arm, and Blossom under my left hand. When they notice I am awake, they start purring.

    Loud pawing at everything

    My male cat has always had a habit of loudly pawing at the window blinds, the cat food when he doesn't like it, and everything surrounding the cat box after he finishes in there. Twice in the last few weeks he has gotten outside. Now all he wants to do is go back outside. So he is constantly...

    Kitten Biting

    I got a new kitten about a month ago. She is just as sweet as can be---when she wants to be. The rest of the time, she bites every time someone touches her. She doesnt do it in a mean way. I think this is how she plays. She likes it when I rub her gums. She plays well with the other cats. She...

    I just need to vent

    I work in the office of a warehouse. My boss had two cats that lived in the warehouse when I started working there. They were quite well taken care of, shots and neutered, and they had used to be strays. One lady who works in the office says she is allergic to cats. She has a lot of health...

    They got out!

    I usually keep a few windows open, and I thought my screens were secure. Last night it got too quiet in the house, and I could only find Blossom. Spock and Bitsy were nowhere to be found. I checked the window, and the screen was pushed out and Bitsy was sitting on the front porch. I got her...

    Kitten teeth

    What is the teething schedule for kittens? Do they get baby teeth and grownup teeth? My new kitten is supposed to be 10 weeks old, but her teeth are basically 12 tiny little needles. At least I think it's 12. Four look like needle molars. She is chewing on everything.
