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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

I've been lurking around these forums for the last couple weeks doing some pre-cat adoption research and the big day finally came! I just adopted a 2+ month old male kitten from my local humane society this weekend! I named him Iroh. I'm so in love with him~ Iroh settled in to our...

Not sure if this is the right forum or not to post this in, but I was wondering if there's any popular online sites to buy quality litter / food from for less cost than in-store? I'm getting a kitten this week and will be using Dr. Elseys Cat Attract litter and feeding Natural Balance dry food...

I'm going to be adopting (probably a male) kitten next week and have been doing a lot of reading up on cats. One thing I've come across is spraying. I know that un-altered cats spray to mark their territory, and I've read on some sites that even after being altered a cat will continue to spray...

I've been doing some research into what sort of cat litter I should use when I bring home my first new kitten next week -- and I'm so confused from all of the conflicting opinions! Some people say that clumping litter is the best like Worlds Best Cat Litter, it's so easy to clean each day with...

I'm looking at adopting my first kitten in the next few weeks. My plan is to have a little "safe area" set up our family room/basement and would ideally like to aim for the litterbox to eventually be in an small, adjacent storage room to this safe area once the kitten is litter trained -- that...

I'm getting ready to adopt my first kitten, and I already have a 1 year old, 2lb Netherland Dwarf rabbit named Toby. I've heard a lot of positive experiences when it comes to introducing a new cat to a resident bunny, and that cats are usually one of the more successful pets you can friend to a...

I'm looking to adopt my first cat in the next few weeks and I'd like to be as prepared as possible. I'm aiming to adopt from my local shelter, but one of quirks of doing so is that my SPCA doesn't know the breeds of hardly any of the cats they house. They're all listed as either Domestic...

Hi from a newbie in Canada! I'm a long time cat lover but I've never had a chance to actually own a kitty of my own until now~ I'm still heavy into research mode for the time being before I actually go to my local SPCA, so you'll probably see me asking some questions around in the forums over...
