    Is my kitten a shark, normal or should I keep an eye on him?

    Hi Everyone, I noticed today that one of my kittens (about 6 months) has both of his 2nd "canines" through but the baby teeth are still there. I haven't checked if they're loose or not but is this something I should keep and eye on or is it perfectly normal? I don't remember seeing this with...

    kittens and older cats - what to feed?

    We have two 4 month old kittens and two older boys that are about 10. We've been feeding the kittens Royal Canin babycat and the boys are eating science diet seniors. Everyone's food is about to run out and before I head out to the petstore, here's a question: Everyone is together now and the...

    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    Quick update on Willow and Sedgewicke: I picked both of them up this morning and they're absolutely fine! Both of them were purring all the way home and they've been eating like horses all day. Everytime they see me they purr and come to me for cuddles. The other thing I was suprised at is...

    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    Thanks for everyone's advice. My two newest babies were dropped off at the vet this morning at 8am and I can't concentrate on anything. My logical mind tells me that they'll be ok, the vet does loads of surgeries much more complicated that this and that they'll be absolutely fine but my...

    Human illness and cats

    They definitely know. Just after we brought my new kittens home I had to take my mother to the airport and knew I wouldn't be seeing her for a few months. I was really upset and even though Willow hadn't been at all cuddly or affectionate up to that point she was there as soon as I got home...

    All for show?

    I'm not really worried about this as no one's getting hurt but just thought I'd share as it makes me laugh and wondered if it's just my neurotic boy that does this.... We have 2 new kittens, Willow and Sedgewicke and I was really pleased to catch Wrinkles (one of our older boys) licking one of...

    Does your cat have a TCS twin?

    And my Max looks just like Trent but I can't find any pics of him - will have to get hubby to hunt some out tonight

    Does this sound right????

    3 dewormings sounds right to me. I believe it's normal for kittens to have a set of 3 and I know our vet does a feacal test after that to ensure they're worm free.

    throwing up question

    I'm not about to tell you whether you should take her to the vet or not as I'm sure there are far more experienced people here. However, having had cats for years I've had two at separate times that have done the exact same thing - particularly with dried food. Having watched them they both...

    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    Sorry I didn't respond to everyone's really helpful posts earlier but we were so busy this weekend. Anyway, the spay and neuter for each of them is booked for tomorrow and you've all done wonders to put my mind at rest. I thought I was doing the right thing and do trust my vet but the reaction...

    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    I really dont want a cat in heat - there's nothing worse! I felt happy with what the vet had said and he actually prefers to do them at 6-8 weeks. The shelter just made me panic and made me wonder if I was doing the right thing. They're both healthy and well (he weighs almost 6lbs already!)...

    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    I've just got back from the vet for the kitten's 3rd deworming and distemper shots and he's recommended getting both the boy and girl in to be neutered and spayed. The shelter advised having the boy done around now but said that we should wait for the spay until my little girl was around 6...

    Point Colours anyone?

    Not the best pictures of one of my new additions but I'm just wondering if anyone can tell what colour her points are likely to be? Willow's a moggie and her mother looked nothing like her so she's not a good indication. Her brother is black so at least he's easy! My mother has two Birmans...

    What's your craziest looking kitty picture?

    We've only had our two new ones for about a week but these are two of my favourites so far.....

    The Back up alarm clock.

    Max is certainly a morning boy - though thankfully he only likes to wake his Daddy! As soon as it's light outside (or he thinks it might be) he purrs like a tank, licks his Dads face, hair, arms and even his armpits if he's sleeping in the right position.... that's love for you!

    Kitten Peeing

    not a problem! I'm attempting to use the computer with two kittens chasing the mouse cursor so sorry if I seemed a bit short! At lesat they aren't peeing though......

    Kitten Peeing

    As I said in my previous post we have 5 boxes and 4 cats. They use the boxes happily but the kittens seem to like to pee on the down comforters. I don't really want to spend the next 20 years keeping them covered so want to try to get the babies out of this sooner rather than later!

    Kitten Peeing

    They're all down comforters and I have covers on them all. Short of getting rid of the comforters is there any way to stop them doing it? They only do it while we're watching too which seems strange. this morning we'd let them into the bedroom, the little girl jumped on the bed, purred for...

    Kitten Peeing

    Thanks everyone. I think perhaps I'm just expecting a bit much for the babies. They're only just about to turn 12 weeks old. We have 5 boxes around for 4 cats and they're all cleaned at least once a day and the kittens will happily use any of them. Each of the comforters have been peed...

    Does anyone else's cat lick plastic bags?

    I thought it was just Max and Wrinkles! They both love to eat the handles (and just the handles) from plastic grocery bags. We have to be so careful not to leave them around otherwise we end up having to help them out at the other end which is far less than pleasant. I also dread to think...
