    Stripes' Kittens

    Stripes went into labor around 11am this morning. Kitty #1 didn't come out until 2:15pm. Was getting worried by that point, but he came out fine and the first 3 were born in about 40 minutes, with #4 coming about an hour later. One grey and 3 black, all with some degree of lighter markings too...

    Does it sound like she'll be having kittens tonight?

    I don't really have any experience with cat labor, because our other cat Stars that had kittens a few years ago didn't show any labor signs, I just woke up to 4 kittens one morning. Tonight Stripes is acting very strange. She wants lots of attention, purring loudly and won't leave me alone when...

    New mom cat not looking healthy?

    Our cat Stars had kittens about 7 weeks ago. Since then she has looked unhealthy, very skinny, greasy-looking coat. She is about 1.5 years old and before she had kittens she had a shiny coat and healthy weight. At first I figured it was because she'd just had kittens and was too busy with them...

    One of our kittens died :(

    Tonight my toddler was playing with the kittens (they are shut in a room with a childproof doorknob that evidently is no longer childproof to my toddler, we don't allow him with them unsupervised) and dropped or threw one of the kittens and we think it's neck was broken. He came up and told us...

    Our kittens are 4 weeks old, still nursing. Last night one of them started throwing up, probably about 4 times since last night. Anyone know what might be the problem? He acts fine from what I've seen, just suddenly throws up, never happened before.

Last week one of them had one eye almost completely closed with some hard gunk, I wiped it a bit with water and after a few days it was fine.

    What age to get fixed and shots?

    At what age can you get cats fixed and when can they get shots? We are going to try to get our kittens all fixed and shots before we find homes for them, but I don't know what age to have these done. I've heard as young as 6 weeks you can have them fixed, but want to make sure. They are only a...

    Cat won't use litter box after having kittens?

    Our cat had kittens 6 days ago and now she won't use her litter box, she keeps going in our kitchen and living room. She never ever had problems using her litter box before this, and now she won't use it at all. And it sucks cuz her poop has been so runny and gross and stains the carpet. Any advice?
