My kittens are big enough to get spayed and neutered now but Mimi self nurses on the inside of her thighs and sometimes allows her siblings to also do it to her. The other two kittens really only do it to her, when they hear her going at it. She will get up and walk away if she doesn't want them...
This is my 6 year old ragdoll cat. I've officially had her for a year. Some of you may remember the thread where I discussed that she had been kicked outside by my neighbors for litter box issues and they let us have her a year ago when they moved. She had been living outside for a few years and...
I should probably stop calling them my fosters since we decided to keep all 3 of them. So introducing Miss Mimi ( long hair tortie), Miss Pinter ( short hair tortie) and Mr Puccini or as I call him Mr Pucci ( black)
The kittens are around 2 months old now and use the litter box perfectly. I've been using Tidy Cat non-clumping. They have stopped tasting the litter. But Mimi the little long haired kitten is getting litter stuck to her fur. I've noticed all the kittens are enthusiastic diggers and tend to...
I've never had a kitten do this before but one of the kittens meows in the litter box when she is using it. She will scratch, squat, appear to go then get up and repeat the process. She does poop, and it is well formed, shiny and doesn't appear too hard. They are just starting to eat more solid...
Vet gave us Pacanur ( not pyrantel I confused them) for the kittens and they finished their first 3 days of treatment a week ago. We are supposed to repeat it in two weeks ( so in another week). But I found live tapeworm on one of the kittens today. I'm not sure if I should wait the week, or...
I've been using Tidy Cat Breeze for almost 2 years and love it. But I'm wondering if I can use wood pellets instead of the zeolite ones Tidy Cat sells? I'm concerned that the pellets will dissolve into sawdust when urinated on which I do not want. I like the separate pad system, it's just that I...
So I have had foster mama and the kittens for 2 1/2 weeks now. Mama was extremely underweight, literally skin and bones. She was outside full time with the kittens before she came here and I think she was only fed 1 can of food a day ( what I was told). I don't think she is more than a year old...
One of the girls is clearly a short hair, the black boy and tortie girl ( I really need to name them lol) have totally different coats.
The black boy is between the two girls in this one.
The two girls
Little boy
My foster mama is driving me crazy because she won't stop making a huge mess with kittens little litter box. The other day I had to clean off one of the kittens because they stepped in her massive ( compared to them) poop. Even when her box is totally clean she uses theirs for some bizarre...
I'm using non-clumping litter for the first time, with my foster mama and kittens ( kittens have their own box). How often is it recommended to completely replace the litter when only 1 cat is using the box? How deep should I make the litter?
Sorry for the newbie questions, I normally use Tidy...
I've never seen a cat in heat before. My cats all came to me already spayed or neutered. The kittens are probably in the 6 week old range? I've had them for almost 2 weeks and mama was outside full time before that. When I took them all to the vet about 10 days ago I forgot to ask if she might...
One of my boys is very upset about the fact that I brought it in this mama cat and kittens to save them from going to the animal shelter. He is now attacking my other cats as a result. I have the mama cat and kittens in my master bathroom and I let them out into my bedroom ( with the door closed...
I'm asking because I'm starting to feel stupid calling these kittens by their markings ( little black one, little tortie one ect). I kind of want to name the kittens because I'm planning on keeping them until they are 12 weeks old and spayed and neutered. But I'm worried that naming them will...
I know we have a lot of Brits here and I've noticed that quite a few posters use the term neutering for females, so I'm just wondering if you guys just use it as a term for both males and females and if maybe the term spay isn't common useage there?
Not trying to be the grammar police, I'm just...
Does anyone have the cat a pole cat toy? I saw it in Cat Fancy, I think it was the December issue? But I hadn't gotten around to ordering one until last week. It looks like it will hopefully hold up better than Da Bird has. My cats have broken 2 Da Bird poles so I quit buying them because they...
I've never had a litter a kittens, so I'm not good at telling their ages and I just got them here tonight after the owner surrendering them. They don't jump around and play, they are still wobbly on the feet and walk slowly.
I think they are about 4-5 weeks old. They have been observed grooming themselves and going to the bathroom on their own, I was told. Mom is very emaciated though, she probably isn't more than 7-9 months. Just got them today. The mom ate two 3oz cans of kitten food and about 1/2 a bowl of grain...
When we moved into this house it already had damage by one of the bedroom doors. Now one of my cats has made it even worse. He hates closed doors but this door just can't be left open all the time the way he wishes it would. He is still a kitten, at most a year old, I'm exactly sure as he just...
I'll post what the mama cats color is by tomorrow when I see her. So far all I know is the kittens are one tortie, one solid black ( possibly a smoke) and one brownish shade tabby. The picture didn't have perfect color. My husband says the tabby kitten is a silver tabby but it looked possibly...
