Veruca, my "foster" cat, has 3 kittens left. They are 9 weeks old. The other kittens were placed last week and they doing fantastic in their forever homes. (I'm so proud - all the new owners say that these kittens are perfectly cuddly, playful, and sociable - "the best kittens they ever had")...

I have a foster momcat and 3 of her remaining litter residing in a bedroom. The kittens are 9 weeks. I had been letting Veruca (the mother) out to get to know my 4 cats because I planned to keep her. It was going okay. No fights, just a little hissing. Last week I decided to let one of the...

I will soon have an 8 week old kitten, Elvis, to add to my clan. I am concerned about the kitten and the upstairs rotunda. It is an 11 foot drop if the kitten tried to jump down between the banister. I know how curiuos kitties are. Chicken wire around the banister won't help because I...

I really don't know the true definition of "runt". I have a 7 week old litter of 7. The smallest kitten (Kenny) is very timid, easliy frightened, and less co-ordinated than the rest. He will finally let me pet him when he's sleepy, but he does not want to be held or picked up. I know most...

I have been on the breeder's board and the pregnant cat & kitty board. Now I am moving on to behavior because my questions pertain to kittens and adult resident cats. I currently have 12 cats in my house. I have 4 resident cats....(listed in order of their adoptions) Sera....4 years...

When can I safely switch back to clumping litter in the kitten room? The kittens have been using the litterboxes for about 3 weeks now.

I am reposting a message from a few days ago. I only got 1 helpful response but would like more input. (I will try to make this post shorter) Veruca's kittens are almost 7 weeks. They are doing great (except the runt who is a big scaredy cat) They eat wet and dry food and use litterboxes...

I took in a pg stray 7 weeks ago. She had a litter of 7 a couple days later. The litter is thriving. She's been an excellent mother. They are almost completely weaned and had 1st vaccinations yesterday. 2 of the kittens are placed, 1 is staying with us. Those 3 are very friendly...

They have all been eating dry food as a main staple. They still nurse, but infrequently. They are using the litterbox and are used to being away from mom several hours at a time. They all just recieved their first vaccinations today. I have a few of them placed and the families are wanting...

I have a litter of 7 kittens. 3 of them are black females and I can't tell them apart. I have a family coming over to choose their two kittens tonight. (They are still not ready to leave momcat yet) How can I "mark" a kitten if the family wants a specific black female?

I know there are many of us here who have 4 weeks olds. I found another kitty turd AND some urine in a pan today!!!! I just want to know where they are going all the other times! I have found no poop anywhere else. Are they just peeing all over my carpet??? I honestly don't smell an...

This might be a dumb question, but I'm an overthinker. I have Veruca's dry kitten food in the room with her and her 4 week old kittens. Can the kittens choke on this food if they try to eat it? I put her water bowl up on the bathroom counter because I was also worried about the kittens...

She will be getting a blood test to make sure she is healthy. After that, she will finally get to meet the rest of the family(the other 4 cats). Yesterday, I put the residents away and let Veruca come check out the house. She made herself at home! One of my cats, Sera, was crying behind a...

My 10 year old neutered cat has started humping me. Yes, it's a little embarrassing to talk about, but I need to get him to stop!!! He's been checked by the vet. No kidney or bladder problems. At first I thought he was just kneading on my chest like normal but then he seemed to be having...

Veruca's kittens are a little over 3 weeks old. I know they will be ready to litter box train soon. They are in a bedroom with Veruca. I bought Good Mews for the kittens' litten pans (I bought 4 small baking sheets for them.) My question is should I change Veruca's litter to Good Mews too...

One of my co-workers wants two of the kittens when they are weaned. I will be having them fixed before they go to homes but I wanted to know if she planned on keeping them inside. She has a dog and a doggie door so they will get out. I know that she lives in a not so great neighborhood so...

I'm asking because Veruca is doing the same thing as the poster who's cat is driving them crazy. She is so vocal, and in escape mode everytime we go in to see her. She only had her babies a week ago so I don't think she should be in heat already. She just wants to get out of the room so...

So am I right? Are these 2 boys? If so, we have a litter of 5 males and 2 females.

Veruca is almost 1 week post-birth. I'm in no hurry, but at what point should I begin to aquaint her with the resident cats? I know the kittens will be secluded for at least another month. But, Veruca is going to be part of our family and has got to be tired of living in that room alone. I...
