I raised a litter of kittens and my sister-in-law wanted two. She took a male and female. Well, I told her that they needed to be fixed around 12 weeks because she might go into heat early with him around and she promised to do it. They were 12 weeks yesterday and today's response was they will...

My two kitten boys are 11 weeks old. This morning very early at 3 am we woke up to an awful noise and found out it was the kittens growling at each other and showing aggressive displays. It hadn't progressed into fighting but they wouldn't stop yowling at each other. We had to separate them...

I had unknowingly taken in a pregnant momma cat and had her tested for FeLV/FIV while she was pregnant and she was neg on both of those tests at the vet. Obviously they did the quick tests. She was constantly sick throughout the pregnancy but I thought it was just the pregnancy. Recently she...

She spends all day away from them now and won't let them nurse unless it's on her terms. I have one male that refuses to eat dry food. All of the other kittens are nice and plump and eating food and using the litter box just fine but this one boy won't eat the food and only wants mom but she's...

I know in dogs chicken isn't the easiest protein/meat to digest so I wondered how cats fair with this meat as the primary source of protein? I had Carly on NB pea and duck formula and got poops back to normal. I tried NB pea and chicken and I'm getting mushier poops. Now I'm giving it a bag...

At what age do you think you can gauge a kitten's personality? I'm going to be trying to place these kittens in the right homes and so far they are pretty consistant with what I thought they were when they were born. They are 4 weeks and starting to eat kitten food 3 times a day and we...

They are very mobile now and holding their heads up very well. One is already climbing legs and the scratching post. I've attempted the goat's milk and a little wet food mixture and that didn't go over well with the kittens but Carly loved it. I'm thinking I want to just get canned kitten...

How long did it take your cat to start eating this stuff? It smells awful. It doesn't even smell like meat so I understand her hesitation to eat it but I am out of options with her diarrhea. I need to see if it's grains and this is the least expensive option. She usually takes to a new cat...

I watched Carly grab each kitten like it was a toy and scratch at it with back paws and bite it until it cried. Then she'd grab another one and do the same thing. She was also cleaning at the same time. I don't think she was being mean but I'm curious about the behavior.

Our kittens are just under 2 weeks but two of them have very sharp nails at this point that scratch not only us but each other. One of them left a scratch that had a scab on one of the other kittens so I want to clip them. Can I use baby nail clippers to cut their nails so that they don't...

I have a question about the lactating queen. I lost a kitten yesterday that was very small and stayed very small despite efforts to give it more time with mom and the fact that I saw it nursing as much as the other kittens. Now I'm overly cautious about this because although I think something...

and I'm thinking I should supplement him a little bit. The rest are already growing but he's pretty small and I see him nursing. Should I go ahead and supplement him and if so would goat's milk be okay as a supplement?

It was a lot more than I had expected (the birth part) and the kittens are all different, it's interesting. We had 6 as of right now but I thought I might have felt another lump, not sure. The second to last kitten is a monster. It's a solid black kitten and was the largest kitten. It's very...

It's finally time. I think Carly's water broke. Her entire back end is a mess. I was at a doctor's appointment so I didn't get to see what happened but she's restless and eating still. She's having contractions, I can feel them. I'm ready!

Carly still hasn't had her kittens. Since the woman I got her from gave her to me pregnant, I have no idea when she got that way so everything is a guess. I've felt kittens for 20 days now. I've seen milk for 5. She's been nesting for weeks. I took her to the vet in what he thought was her...

My cat Carly is due any day now. I have suspected that she is getting very close to having her kittens so I've been checking on her frequently. Tonight I was in with her and she suddenly gets up and runs over to her litter box. I can hear what's going on so I stick around to do clean up since...

and what to do about them? I've had Carly now for just under 2 weeks and while she's pregnant and gets a bit more leeway, I want to make sure that I start guiding her with proper behaviors now so she knows what I expect later. She's either a Himalayan or Himy mix but she's talkative and can be...

I thought I'd start a new thread since we went to the vet today. I got tired of worrying about all the things that she needed like worming and ear mite treatment and is she pregnant and how far along. So we made the trip to the vet and risked upsetting her for her health. I felt the risk was...

I have had this little Himalayan now for one week and she came to me in a very ungroomed state. I honestly thought anyone with half a brain would at least groom a Himalayan in some way but obviously not everyone thinks the way I do. So her ears are bothering her and I need to get drops and...

I posted about my cat being pregnant and not knowing how far along she is and today I noticed a bit of bloody discharge and a swollen vaginal area. She's been staying under the bed, not eating much, and being very sleepy for at least 3 days. Yesterday I noticed brown on the back of her hair...
