    Suspected kitten teething (and biting!)

    Over the past week or so, our kitten, Iroh, has started biting a lot. He's constantly attacks people's feet and legs and tries to gnaw on people's fingers and arms. He's just over four months old now and I think he may be starting to teeth which I've heard can cause an increase in biting...

    Best and most affordable water drinking fountain.

    Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Due to an overwhelming majority of people here and reviews I've found online, I think I've settled on getting a Drinkwell Platinum -- not this month unfortunately due to so heavy bills, but I'm hoping with a few not-so-subtle hints I'll get one for...

    Litter Pan Liners??

    I don't how much my opinion would count considering I've only had my kitten for about a month, but I've used the large litter liners in Iroh's litter box and I love them. Yes, they do get some tears in them from his claws, but it still makes cleaning the litterbox out completely much easier and...

    Transitioning from one wet food to another.

    Why no fish-based foods? Are they not healthy for cats?

    Kitten smells bad some times -- possible diarrhea?

    Iroh is fed 1/2 cup of Natural Balance Premium to eat through out the day, and every second day or so gets some Iams wet kitten food (though I'm going to be changing the wet food brand and increasing the amount of wet I'm feeding him soon.)

    Transitioning from one wet food to another.

    Wow I'm posting a lot in this forum lately. ^^; So right now Iroh has some wet food every couple of days along with his Natural Balance. I want to start increasing the amount of wet food I give him, but also change the brand -- right now I'm using Iams wet food for kittens, simply because...

    Best and most affordable water drinking fountain.

    I'm considering getting a water fountain for Iroh. He already loves to drink out of the bathroom faucet when it's running, and I'm worried he may not drink enough out of his regular bowl. There are few at my local Petsmart (below) that I'm trying to pick between...

    Kitten smells bad some times -- possible diarrhea?

    Also, thanks for any and all tips on nutritional info. I did a lot of research on foods before I brought him home, but I may dive back into it again.

    Kitten smells bad some times -- possible diarrhea?

    He smelled sort of bad last night and when I sniffed him this time it was very obviously coming from his rearend. Kitty farts? ^^; I've never heard him fart, but maybe it's just a silent thing he does... The smell usually lasts for a while. How often on average do kittens tend to pass...

    Kitten smells bad some times -- possible diarrhea?

    Yes, he's already been neutered. I'm not sure where exactly the smell is coming from. I sniff him all over and some times it seems like it's coming just from his rear and other times it seems like it's just an overall fur smell. Next time it occurs I'll give him another thorough sniff of the...

    Kitten smells bad some times -- possible diarrhea?

    So my boyfriend and I have noticed that Iroh, my 3 month old kitten I adopted a couple of weeks ago, smells really bad some times. Not all the time, but just now and then we'll pick him up and there will be this gross smell for some reason. The only thing I can think of is that he possibly has...

    Kitten sore after getting shots?

    Happy to say that Iroh seems back to normal today! He slept pretty much all of yesterday evening, but when we woke up this morning he was running around and playing again. *Relief* It must have just been some sore spots where he got his needles and that's all. Thanks to everyone though!

    Kitten sore after getting shots?

    This afternoon I brought my new kitten, Iroh, back to the vet for two shots -- his rabies I believe and one other one. They gave them to him one on either side of his flank/bum area. He was fine and energetic when I brought him home but this evening he's started crying when ever I pick him up...

    Cats and Rabbits

    For the first week I only let Iroh and Toby see each other from opposites of the gate to the bunny room. Surprisingly enough, my timid little bunny came right up to the gate to check out the new kitten. He'd sniff around and then Iroh would do something silly like go and dart his paw through...

    Opinions on SSScat deterrent?

    Not sure if the one I'm looking at beeps or not: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2751025 I read through the customer reviews and some people remark on how they use the beep and other people say that the product description is wrong and the one they bought doesn't have it. o_O No...

    Opinions on SSScat deterrent?

    Now that my new kitten Iroh has learned that he can jump up on the stove to get the kitchen counters (eek!) he does it ALL THE TIME. I've tried the spray bottle, pennies in a can, double-sided tape, and washing the counters with a soap he doesn't like the smell of and nothing seems to work...

    Questions about the tape-on-the-counter deterrent.

    My newly adopted 3 month old kitten, Iroh, has just discovered that he can sometimes jump high enough to get up on our kitchen counters/stove (just barely -- he gets his claws up there and hangs on for dear life, and then sometimes struggles and manages to pull himself up.) So far we've used...

    Cat-safe people foods.

    Is there a well-known list somewhere of good people-food treats you can give your cat from time to time? I know of some strictly off limit foods like chocolate, coffee, and grapes -- but what are some suggestions of healthy food treats I could let Iroh have a nibble of?

    Your Cats Issues and Problems

    I just got access to the My Cats section and made a profile for my kitten, Iroh. It worked fine except for uploading a cat picture -- I browsed for the image on my computer, pressed the save button, and it came back with this error: There was an error creating your cats image directory. Please...

    Spider hunter!

    When I went down to feed Iroh this morning, and he pranced over looking so smug with himself as I noticed that floating upside down and all shriveled up in his water dish was an ugly dead spider. Ew... *Heebie jeebies as she dumps it down the bathroom sink* Does anyone else's cat hunt down...
