    Reintroduction Post-Feral Mother With Her Kittens

    Four years ago, two feral mothers (who were littermates) had a two litters of kittens under my deck. One feral mother disappeared, the other abandoned two of the kittens when they were about four days old.  She took them out and left them at the door to my crawl space. I took kittens to vet and...

    Potty Training And Pics (...not of potty training)

    I uploaded some more pics of the kittens and of my other housecats if anyone is interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50555492@N05/ I am having a potty training setback. I enlarged their play area (I uploaded a photo). I can't give them total run of the room because I have some work out...

    Socialization

    My two orphans are doing really well. They're eating soft Royal Canin from a bowl now - still sticking their paws into it and swimming through it. They have gained to 19 ounces! Vet did an early Lukemia/AIDS test and both were negative (I'm going to re-test when they reach 2 pounds just to be...

    Soft Food / KMR Mix Question

    I've found a mix of food that will entice my shy male to eat. It's KMR and Royal Canin soft baby kitten food. The female has been eating from a bowl for four days now. Mixture is heated to pretty warm, they stop eating when it cools off. So, I'm reading the Royal Canin can and it says for...

    A Bad Day For The Kittens - Suggestions?

    ...yesterday was a GREAT day for the kittens. Both my male and female who are starting week 6 today had gotten the hang of eating soft food from a bowl. The female has 100% litter-pan accuracy, the male about 60%. They ate a soft food meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a small bottle (1...

    Kitten Nest Time...

    My 2 orphaned kittens with no mother are starting their sixth week of life today. How much time do kittens at this age usually spend in their nest? I'm concerned because now that they're running, jumping and pouncing, I made a large play area for them and they NEVER use it on their own. As...

    Royal Canin Solid Baby Food - Should I Try It?

    ...anyone feed the solid extra-tiny kibble food to 4 - 5 week olds? My "shy to eat" male is always trying to eat the clay litter pellets. He won't take soft food from a saucer, but seems okay with trying to eat the pellets from the litter pan. I got a bag of the Royal Canin baby food, but I'm...

    Kitten Pics On Flickr - Do They Look Healthy?

    I uploaded pics of the kittens on Flickr. I've never used Flickr before, so I hope I did it correctly! I uploaded three dated groups from the day I got them out from under the house until last night when they first started to try solid food. My best guess is that they are turning six weeks...

    Weaning With Human Baby Food

    My two kittens are turning 6 weeks old this coming Monday. Yesterday, my vet asked if they had been weaned and I told him I was working on it. I was trying with KRM 2nd Step and Royal Can. baby kitten food. My two hated both. A couple of times, they'd bite my finger with the KMR 2nd Step on...

    Odd Behavior Post FVRCP Booster

    I have a 14yo DSH Spayed that is acting odd after her FVRCP booster. She had a complete booster series about 6 years ago and almost died from severe reactions, required a week of hospitalization. Ever since then, I haven't kept up with my boosters for any of my house cats. It scared me off of...

    Orphan Kittens With Housecats Help!

    I have four house cats that are 100% indoors (never outside). Two are littermates raised by me from 6 weeks. They were weaning when their mother was killed. The other two were rescued at age 8 months and 12 months. They are now 18, 14 (littermates) and 6 years old. A mother cat had kittens...
