    brothers and sisters reunited, what to expect??

    After reading about Feliway here, I ran out and bought two dispensers, one for the bedroom and one for the living area. The sisters are now calm and getting along again. I am making flyers for adoption today, and will plaster them all over santa clara county tomorrow! They are very loving...

    brothers and sisters reunited, what to expect??

    Yes, well.....they definitly have issues with one another, but they do recognize the house. This is a HUGE problem now. The sisters who have never been seperated before, are hissing and almost fighting with each other. However, when I picked them up at the house where they used to live, they...

    brothers and sisters reunited, what to expect??

    Hi ! I am not sure what is going on. It is a family with children, and they said they were very sad but some things have come up for them and they can't take care of them anymore. I have asked very bluntly about any other kinds of issues, and they have said that they are nice good cats - that...

    brothers and sisters reunited, what to expect??

    Hello! I took in a stray cat who gave birth to 4 lovely kittens who are all close to one another. I was able to get the two female kittens adopted out at 3 and 1/2 months old, and we kept the mom and the two boys. I got an email from the family who adopted the girls that they can no longer...

    sad about kittens

    Hello! I am feeling a lot of sadness over 2 of my kittens that I had to let go. I took in a stray cat back in the end of May who had 4 kittens on April 2nd. The plan was to get mostly all of them adopted out to friends of our family but they all sort of backed out of the commitment. I live...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    This is great to hear, I am so glad I came to this forum!! I decided on a compromise of sorts for the time being....Since her surgery is coming up, I want her to get used to periods of isolation that don't feel like a punishment so that when she needs her time alone to heal its not a bad...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    Thanks for the advice - I definitly see the merits of both sides. I would like her to dry up before the surgery since its in her best interest to be taken care of. Perhaps I can find a middle of the road solution - keep her away from the kittens when we are sleeping and not at home, but with...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    this is all good advice! We play with the cats for an hour in the morning before work, and pretty much at night for a good 2-3hrs. We pet them when they are playing too, so its an integrated approach. They have a gazillion toys and 2 cat condos to climb and be a part of. One of them is right...

    Her appointment to be spayed is on June 30th, and she is an indoor only cat. She was a wild card when she was in heat a few weeks ago, but didn't get outside, we only have one door in and out of our place so we are SUPER careful about coming in and out of the house. hmmm......I wonder if I...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    Cool !! That is heartening news. One of the kittens really loves to be close to us, and if the timing is right and its not hyper time they like to be carried a little bit. They all love to be petted when they are sleeping or calming down and purr too. The mom cat is super mellow and I can...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    The mom cat has had her first post-pregnancy heat - she had it for about 8days and now its in the low end of the estrog? swing. When she was in the heat, she would only let the kittens be around her for about 10mins max nursing and then she would get up and leave. She did sometimes kick them...

    Kittens Nursing at 10weeks?

    Hello! I have 4 kittens and a mom cat, and the kittens are eating wet and dry food normally, but tend to still suckle with the mom really late at night or early (5-6am) in the morning. I am not sure they are getting anything out of it, but the mom will call the babies to her and it seems more...
