Starlight has started using the fireplace as a litter box. EEW! I can see that the ash and such has a litter-like quality. But, it's gross. How do I teach her not to do that? She happily continues to use her regular box upstairs, but has just recently added this as a little extra! HELP!!!

I really hope this post doesn't make it seem that I don't care about Starlight and her health! I certainly do! But - Do you all take your cats to the vet at the first sign that they might be sick? I see a lot of posts when people ask about health stuff and the most common response is to take...

Starlight is 5 months old. She's a great kitten! Today I noticed that her left eye looks kind of dull and goopy. It's not bright and clear like the other eye. It has a little bit of discharge. When we first got her, she was very sick and had lots of yellowy crusty stuff that made it hard...

My 4 month old kitten pooped on my bed! WHY!!!??? Her litter is the same kind she's always had, in the same box, in the same location, and totally clean (changed a few hours earlier). Nothing interesting or new has happened. So why did this happen? And what can I do to prevent it in the future?

Starlight is 13 weeks. She is a great cat and we are having so much fun with her! She bites us playfully, but it's annoying and hurts. Why does she do this? What can I do to stop her? I am certain that she's just playing - not mean. Any ideas?

We finally found a collar small enough for Starlight. The bell is driving her bonkers, though! Is it really necessary?

Do they make collars for kittens? Our 13 week kitty is just at 2 pounds now. We got a collar for her and it's too big. She is, of course, inside, but I'd feel better having a collar just in case. We also got her a tag, but it seems that it will be huge on her. Are there tiny kitten collars...

I have trimmed Starlight's nails, but only the very end tips because I couldn't find the "quick" that I learned about from you all. I don't see a red or pink area. There is a whiter area closer to her paw. Is that it? It seems to be kind of inside the nail. I don't want to hurt her, but I...

Do kitties need vitamins? If so, any recommendations?

The vet recommended that we transition Starlight from her A/D canned food to Science Diet Feline Growth. We went out today and couldn't find it at Petco or Pet Smart. Both had SD foods, but not that specific type. Any other ideas of where to look? Any other food that would be comprable?

I am a volunteer lactation counselor (for human lactation, not kitties!). I know lots about breastfeeding for humans, but nothing about cats. My cat will be spayed next week, so that shouldn't really come up for us. But, I'm curious: How long do kittens nurse if it's up to them/mother...

I'm new around here and learning so much! I read on this board about many pregnant cats, the births, the tiny kittens, etc. So - I'm wondering: For most of you in this situation, was it a "planned" pregnancy, or a "suprise?" Was it something that happened before your got your cat fixed? Or...

I'm new here with LOTS of questions! We got a kitty from the SPCA today. She weighs 1 pound 9 ounces. They want her to weigh 2 pounds before we can bring her back to be fixed. How much should she be eating each day? Right now, she has dry Pro Plan kitten food available. She also was sent...

Hi! I'm new here. I hope it's OK to just jump right in! Here's our new baby: Starlight We brought her home from the SPCA today. It's been a complicated few days with her! My 5 year old daughter (in the picture) picked her out yesterday. We were told that we could pick her up today after...
