    Kitten will not ever respond to attempts at discipline. What to do?

    I have a young (about 6 months old) kitten. He started as the calmest, laziest little thing, but he soon became a rael demon. He'll throw everything on the floor, he's constantly running after me and jumping on me, he tears to shreds everything he can lay his paws on and most importantly he...

    Kitten biting through electric wires

    My home is more akin to a science laboratory than an apartment. I cannot possibly put protectors on all my wires (some of which change their position all the time) and hope to retain my sanity. I'll try with the bitter liquid, hopefully it'll be enough to get him to stop. I might also hang some...

    Kitten biting through electric wires

    I have a very young kitten who's growing up just fine and is a real laugh machine, but he has a dangerous tendency to chew wires. Today he went so far as to completely cut the two wires of my mom's headphone/microphone computer set. This is annoying but not a serious problem, since I'm a techie...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    At what age does he have to have his shots? I was thinking of bringing him home to test potential mama cat's reaction (and my mom's) straight away, but I'll postpone it if he can pass something to her. You see, the problem is that I'm supposed to go back to my mom's place next week and stay...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    I'm pondering whether I should give him to my mom. She already has a cat, a female of no specific race whose size sorta makes you think of aircraft carriers. She is relatively social and benign, though when she gets mad she knows how to hurt. She is currently 10 years old. She never had kittens...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    Augh, I really don't like human babies. At least feline ones should grow out of the "SCREAM YELL PAY ATTENTION TO ME" phase sooner. :p That's what I'm doing. He doesn't seem particularly interested in exploring the rest of the home, anyway; he just walks around screaming (calling his mom/family...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    Argh! He woke up and has been acting insane for the past hour and a half. He's zipping around my home, meowing as loudly as his small lungs will allow him (which is quite surprisingly loud, by the way). I set it on the litterbox and he did his thing, but then resumed the meowing and running all...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    Yes, I considered the idea of getting another cat. It doesn't make too much sense to me to keep just one cat; humans and cats have different needs and habits, so only having one cat tends to make the cat bored and the human frustrated. Right now, however, I haven't yet decided whether to keep...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    I think the constant meowing means he's calling his mother. I played on the computer a video of him, and the instant his meows came from the speakers he (in the other room) got in a meowing frenzy. Now he's scampering about the home, but I get the feeling he's searching for his lost family...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    I don't understand him. He shows no interest whatsoever in a piece of string (maybe he's too small?), and only seems to want me to cuddle him while he stays under the bookshelf. And I'd like to do it, except I can't stay hours upon hours kneeling with a hand stuck under furniture. When I stop...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    He's eating wet cat food with great enthusiasm (I got the soft pureed type meant for young kittens), but he doesn't seem very interested in drinking. He may or may not have drunk a very small amount of water - I think the level in the cup has gone down a bit, but then again it was early morning...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    I don't have anything suitable for a kitten in my home, and the shops are closed... it's the middle of the night here (actually very early morning), and I've been up all night playing with him, cuddling him and trying to get him to eat the dry food. I do have some meat paste made for spreading...

    Very young kitten (2 months?) not eating

    I've been given a tiny little furball who was found on the sidewalk during a storm yesterday morning. He would have died for sure if it hadn't been for a friend who picked him up. After picking him up the friend carried him to a vet, who visited him and said he's about two months old and...

    Allergy-free cats

    We don't have that kind of money. I'm not talking about the genetically modified cats... just about some breeds which, I read, are much less prone to cause allergy. I've been told the LaPerm is one such breed. Also: I'm sure Sphinx cats are just as much fun to have as other cats, but... well, we...

    Allergy-free cats

    Hello, I'm a new member (and a die hard cat lover ) I, personally, don't have allergy problems, but my girlfriend does. She loves cats as much as I do and would like one for herself, but she can't have one because every time she goes near one her nose and eyes start to itch, and she sneezes a...
