Our neighbor upstairs found a stray a few days ago but couldn't keep it. According to the vet the cat is 7 lbs, and is about 6 or 7 months old. She has been in heat although it is calming down today. He said that cats are actually more submissive when in heat (making it a good time to introduce...

A girl that lives in our building found a cat outside her apartment door and took it in but her roommate wouldn't let it stay, so of course we took the cat in. She is very thin, probably only 5 months old, and in heat. She has a small scab under her neck. I have heard that males will latch onto...

Our kitten was born June 16, and was bottlefed as soon as she was 1 week old because the mother left. Here is my first question: The cat was taken to the vet recently for her scheduled checkup and shots/deworming medicine, etc. She weighed in at just over 3 lbs. I told the vet she didn't seem...

Our kitten is 4 weeks old this past Wednesday. We made a small litterbox for him. Our other cat/kitten (born March 3rd) used it immediately when we weren't looking, but I believe the kitten saw this because he has used it 3 times now. But he hasn't used it often, and I don't think he's used it...

Our one kitten that is over 3 weeks old now is finally starting to get really needy with how much attention he gets. At first, he would just want to sleep if he wasn't being fed, but now when we go into the bathroom, he starts crying and trying to climb out of the enclosure (although if I move...

From what I've read, kittens don't try to walk much until they're at least 3 weeks old, and it's very shaky. Our kitten is 14 days, and has been walking around on her own already for at least 7 days. Also, it is much less clumsy already, and she does not fall over anymore (since about 2 days...

Does anyone have any records they kept from kittens you've owned, that shows how much your kitten weighed at 16 weeks? When we first got our kitten we let her eat as much as she wanted, but we are now starting to control how much she eats. Until her vet appointment, I thought I would see what...

I have noticed that pregnant cats seem to like having their belly pet more than when they're not pregnant. Most cats seem to dislike being pet there. The cat that had its one kitten already still seems to roll over onto its back to have me pet its belly constantly, so I'm curious how often cats...

His/her eyes are just now opening up. This afternoon, the kitten began to open up his/her right eye just a bit, and just for short periods of time. She is very healthy, and is crying less and less all the time. She even seems to enjoy sleeping in my hands when I sit near the box where she...

In everyone else's experience, has the mother remained fairly chubby in the belly area after pregnancy? I know they gain some weight before giving birth, but I'm not sure how overweight they tend to get.

I've read mixed things on how often the mother should be leaving a kitten when it's first born. It seems like the mother is spending about half her time sitting outside the box away from the kitten (the one that was born just over 24 hrs ago). The kitten seems healthy, but I was under the...

Here are the pictures my girlfriend took of the new kitten with her mom. Judging from the size of her belly, I'm guessing there are probably still 2 more coming. I know there's at least 1 more in there, just not sure when it will decide to satisfy my lack of patience.

So far the stray I took in had 1 kitten. It looks just like it's mom, a tabby (looks a bit like a really tiny racoon) . Other than the fact that it doesn't seem to spend much time near any nipple, it seems okay. It seems like it's just sleeping. I was under the impression that it would need...

When I brought in this pregnant cat and took it to the vet, he said he was positive there were 2 kittens, possibly a third, and to expect them mid-June. For the past few days, she is barely eating (maybe a cup of food in the past 2-3 days) and barely drinking any water (which almost worries me...

Our Bichon puppy is only 10 months old (exactly 10 lbs), and loves cats. He is great friends with our 10 wk old kitten, and still I keep the pregnant cat we took in in the bathroom with the door closed. She gets very upset when the dog is around, and hissed at our kitten and swatted at her, even...

For those that may not have seen my other thread, I brought home a cat that I found out is 7 months old, and right now is about 1.5 weeks away from having 2-3 kittens. I already have a 9 month old puppy (small Bichon about 10 lbs) and a small 9-10 week old kitten. They both get along great, and...

Yesterday I noticed a few people on the sidewalk looking at a cat laying down in front of them, and I asked them if it was okay. It was just looking for attention, and I carried it home (without any protest from the cat). It has been in our bathroom to stay separate from our puppy and young...
