Does anyone else have a kitty that LOVES to tear up/shred/chew on paper? Does anyone know why they do this and what I can do to get him to stop?

I made a slide show with pics of my cats along with the cats I am/have fostering/ed to date. They all have huge chucks of my heart! http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_galle...nceid=85131395

Yes- you read that right! I just got in a new foster family of kittens. Momma and 3 babies. Only thing is - that ain't Momma! He is an un-neutered male that has taken over the care of these babies - including "nursing"!! Now, these babies are eating dry food but they still go back at least...

I am a little concerned about one of my foster kitties. He was part of a feral colony and I got him when he was about 12-14 weeks old. He is now about 5 months old and still not a lap kitty, but he tolerates me. Lately - he has been making these chewing/chomping motions with his mouth. Sometimes...

I am fostering a momma and her 3 kitties. The kitties are about 10 weeks old and so I took everyone in to be spayed/neutered. I noticed the night before I took the Momma in that she was beginning to display some of the signs of going into heat and sure enough - the vet confirmed this when they...

My 3 month old kitten barely eats anything. She is playful and romps around with no problems. Her body frame is getting larger, but she is not gaining any kind of mass. She looks like a greyhound kitty! The vet has tested her for just about everything from worms to thyroid and she comes up...

Hi there! I am a fairly new foster mom working with a local rescue group. This is my 3rd batch of kittens, but my first ferals. I got them at about 12 weeks old and they are about 14 weeks old now, 2 girls and a boy. I am keeping them in my master bathroom together because I really have no other...

My momma cat has this thing about scratching, scratching, scratching (did I mention scratching) around in the litter box FOREVER after she goes. She is using it, so I am not sure what this is about. I'm worried about trying to change this for fear that she might take it to mean I do not want her...

I am torn between this forum and the Health one, so if this is the wrong place - I apologize. This is my first experience with a nursing mother. Most of Gracie's babies have been adopted out but one. Gracie was spayed at the end of last week and I have noticed that her teats have all greatly...

Well, all of the babies in the litter were either spayed or neutered today - even momma! Everything has been fine - up til now when the vet is closed! Is it common for a kitten to throw up after being spayed? She is also VERY sleepy compared to the others. Is this something I should try and...

I went with my son to Disney's Animal Kingdom the other day and took some photos of the tigers there. Saw this one and thought "Hmmm...why does this look so familiar?" Got home and it there it was...just why it looked so familiar. sorry if this is in the wrong place - I looked around...

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=131589 Well, the babies that I took in are almost ready to go to their forever homes. I suppose they could go now, but I am having them fixed before they go and the soonest I could schedule that was August 14. Anyway, here are some new photos that...

I have read several places here that wet food is better for kittens. Well, NONE of mine like wet food. I have tried mixing it with the dry and they eat all the dry kibble out and leave the wet behind. So, I gave up and just feed the dry, Nutro Kitten. Is this a concern? Should I go back to...

Not sure if it belongs here but I couldn't really think where else to ask it. The other day I was moving stuff around in my fridge and knocked out a jar of green olives. Which of course, broke and splattered all over my floor. Got it all cleaned up, but my cat Pudders is going crazy over the...

Bear with me here... I posted this on the CatPsyche behavior thread and Kerry recommended asking you all. Here is my original question. To update to this - there was an incident about a week and a half ago - Pudders (the male) got into the guest bathroom where Gracie and her babies were at the...

Here is the set up. Pudders (male, neutered) has been our only cat since we got him at about 8 weeks at the end of October, 2005. Last Monday, we added Gracie (female, non-spayed right now, nursing mother) and her 4 kittens (3 female, 1 male). Gracie and babies are in our guest bathroom...

Ok - last Monday I took in a rescue Mom and her kittens (abt 4-5 weeks old). The last day or so, Mom has been kinda out of sorts. But the main concern was noticing how heavily she was breathing. Even at rest - her sides would be heaving and her whole body would sway with each breath. So, I took...

I have recently taken in a momma and her four babies. The babies are about 4 weeks old. They are residing in my guest bathroom because they all currently have URIs and taking Clavamox. My vet has advised the isolation until they are all symptom free. I already have a 10 month old male cat that...

Hello. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I came to this site by way of a recommendation from someone on a Disney board because I have found myself the new proud human-mommy of 5 cats. (A mommy and her 4 babies.) I already have a wonderful male tabby named Pudders, but do not have any...

I just posted my story over on the pregnant cat/newborn kitten side, but I have a question about the mother cat that is not "new babies" related. My new cat Gracie has been an outside cat from birth. She is about 10 months old now and now that I have her, I will be keeping her indoors. Any...
