Oh sorry!! I didnt know this post went through when I changed my mind and posted it in the other forum. I was trying to post it there instead, not also. Ignore this thread!
I'm pretty sure it was from his butt... it smelled pretty skunky, and I cant imagine where else it could come from smelling like that. I just fear that this may become a permanent problem. I'm hoping it was just a potty accident due to being a kitten and adjusting to a new home and such, and...
Excuse me if I seem paranoid, but I've had some bad luck with cats lately.
My kitten (5 months) was kneeding my blanket with his paws like crazy for about 5 minutes, then he curled up and made a smelly spot on it. He then proceeded to lick around the spot rub his face around it. The spot was...
I call it kneading and my cat did it his entire life. I've also never met a kitten who didnt do it, not that I've met a lot of kittens. They may grow out of it, they may not. I believe it has something to do with being taken away from the mother too early... or maybe not early enough. It is...

That is horrible. Maybe you can convince him to take the cat to a shelter and hope the cat tries to come back home so he can do so. It's his responsibility.
I went over to my moms house the other day to shovel for her and the neighbors cat was outside in the freezing cold meowing to get in...
Thanks for your kind words, everyone.
I got Kance's ashes back today. It doesnt seem to be getting any easier. In fact, it's getting harder. I miss him so much.
Its been a long time since my last cat was a kitten, and I dont remember. What age do they start being cats and not kittens? When do they start calming down and not being as mischievious?
He is completely fine. Just the eyelid showing. No other symptoms at all. I'm probably just being paranoid, but I figured I'd put it out there to see if anyone else had some opinions.
I mentioned this problem in an unrelated thread on the picture forum, and now it has me kind of concerned. Artoo's inner eyelid, the pink/grey part on the inside edge of his eyes, cover a third of his eyeball quite often. It usually covers more when he's sleepy, but it often covers 1/3 of his...
Thanks for the tips.
I am going to keep him confined to the room for a few more days, then I'll open it up and put a litter box in on the main floor, and one in the basement , and I'll try to put him near the one in the basement when i think he has to go if I can regular his eating/potty...
ALso, do you think there's something wrong with his eyes? I'm not what it's called, but the pink/grey part on the inside corner of his eyes will often cover a third of his eye, especially when he's just waking up. You can see it in the first and last picture.
His name is Artoo. I got him from the humane society. Every cat's papers there said either domestic long hair, or domestic short hair. I figured he is probably, in fact, a run of the mill domestic short haired, but he has very slanted almond shaped eyes, and a longer than average head, so I...
My cat, Kance, died a week ago. I have never lost anyone I loved and it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. He was only 8 years old, and he wasn't sick. When I left for work in the morning he was fine, chasing me around the house. When I came home I found him laying on the floor...
