    Any tips to stop the biting??

    Hi guys and happy new year! I need advice or tips, if such tips exist... My almost 3-month old kitten, Kiddie, is a real biter! He's adorable and never scratches but he bites non-stop! I know he's playing and giving quite a workout to his teeth but the little daggers are sharp and he does hurt...

    Questions - Introduction to food

    Hi guys, Kiddo will be 5 weeks old next Sunday and we want to start weaning him (is that the correct term)? With other kits I've had in the past, the transition was smooth because they would eat a bit and go back to their momma for milk. But Kiddo has no momma and we are bottle-feeding him. How...

    At what age should we let him out?

    Hi!! Kiddie is just 3 weeks old but I'm wondering at what age he will be old enough to go outside. Babs was 2 when we first let her out but that's only because we were in an appartment when we got her and let her out as soon as we bought our house. I don't want him to run off although I'm not...

    Two issues.... again!! :)

    Hi guys! Here I go again with all the questions... 1 - Kiddie is doing great, he'll be 3 weeks old tomorrow and is such a delight! However, I've noticed that his little poo is very very hard. It's the right color but it's so hard it practically comes out dry! I meows when he pushes it out but...

    Oh the suckling!

    What can I give my baby kit to suckle on??? He's 17 days old and is alone (no sibbling, no mommy) and after he drinks, he needs to suckle on someone. Lately, it's been my bottom lip and I let do it because he loves it so much but he's sucking so hard that tonight my lip is completely swollen and...

    Question - Chubby kitty

    Hi! My kit Kiddie turned 2 weeks yesterday (update - he's the soul survivor of the litter my cat Toots had - Toots died the day after giving birth). Kiddie has been on formula since he was 2 days old and he's really really chubby now! I haven't weighed him yet but I'm wondering how much he...

    Poo and KMR

    Hi there! My week-old kitten has been on KMR since birth and the consistency of his poo seems to vary, from dark brown and very hard to beige-colored and a little chalky (for lack of a better word, not quite chalky but something close to). Is this normal? Otherwise, he seems to be just fine...
