    female kitten trying to nurse from male brother

    Hi all, We have two 12 week old kittens. We took them home 4 weeks ago from my brother's house. Therefore, we know the Queen. In the last day or so, the female has been trying to nurse off the male (her brother). The boy does not seem at all bothered by this, but we are wondering if this is...

    Upset tummy in kittens

    Hi, We brought home new kittens last night and both are having a little loose stool. They are eating (the same Science Diet as they have been) and are very active. We do plan to call the vet, but so far are attributing this to nerves. Anyone have similar experience?

    How can I block acess?

    Please take a look at this pic: What is not clear is that the other side of the railing is a very long drop. When we gave the new kittens a brief tour of the house, both of them stuck their heads through there and we had a moment of sheer terror when we thought they might slip or something...

    How long will the Queen be depressed?

    How long does the Queen take to get over having her kittens taken away? We saved a cat, who now lives with my brother's family and his 4 cats. This weekend, we are taking her two 9 week old kittens to live at our house. The kittens will be totally spoiled and have a great life, but will the...

    2 + 2 = ?

    Ok, I have already explained the story of how we are getting kittens in a couple of weeks (I would be happy to relate the tale again if anyone wants). Anyway, by the time we get them, the two kittens will be litter trained and ready to go. My wife received a call from a co-worker asking if...

    Cats vs. Dogs

    As we prepare for our new kittens, I continue to get a laugh out of the main difference between cats and dogs. We owned a dog for 14 years. Whenever we had a question along of the lines of "why does the dog...?", the answer was almost always clear and specific. When we ask cat questions, the...

    Multiple Littber boxes

    We are about two weeks from bringing home our kittens. They already know how to use the litterbox. When we bring them to the house, I understand we need to show them where the boxes are located, but do we need to place them in each one? We will be using the same litter as they use now. What...

    Queen missing kittens / posting pics

    Hi again, Two questions, the first may be a little weird, but here goes. As I have posted before, we are a few weeks away from picking up the kittens from a cat we rescued and who now lives with my brother and his family. When we do so, how will the Queen react to "losing" her kittens? Will...

    Exposing new kittens to the house...

    Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and to the world of cats. About a month ago, we rescued a stray who was hanging around the front of our house. We brought her to my brother, who has 4 cats of his own. Turns out the girl was pregnant and gave birth to 2 kittens a few days ago. In about...
