    kitten suffering hearing loss

    Recently we brought home a kitten, the person we took her from said that she was vaccinated and wormed but had no papers to show this so we took her to the vet straight away before putting her in contact with our adult cat. I noticed straight away that her balance was very bad. When we got to...

    Moving house

    Mia, myself and my hubby will be moving soon. I'm just looking for some tips or past experience with moving cats (she's approaching nine months old). We're moving from a unit to a house and she hasn't been outside before exept in her carrier. I'd like to know if cats need to be shown where to...

    Mia the human :)

    So here's the thing, it's not a problem because I love her and its a cute behaviour.. My kitten Mia is getting a bit older now she's probably around 8 months, and in the past month or two she's started eating and drinking with her paws. She used to do it from time to time but now she does it at...

    Appetite like a yoyo.

    Hi all, Melissa again still hovering over Mia after her spay on the 16th of last month. Gradually I've taken the dry food away from her which the vet gave me (long story) and that was fine and during that time she's gradually also started eating less.. :( I've called the vet and she said its...

    Poop problem.

    Okay this is the third time Mia has had poop stuck in her fur. I've just pulled off as much as I could with paper towel and then bathed her thoroughly and dried her with a towel in front of the heater. When it happens she stands at her litter box and meows so its easy to find out before it gets...

    Change in behaviour after neuter.

    My kitty Mia got neutered on Thursday and she's just fine, best recovery I could have asked for. But, she's changed. For the first couple days she was acting her usual playful self, running, playing, clawing the curtains. But now my friends have even mentioned she's a ball of goo. All she does...

    Never spayed a kitty so I don't know what's normal.

    I got Mia fixed finally yesterday and I thought her wound would be on her tummy. But it's at the top of her outer thigh. I'm not finding any answers on google so I'm wondering what's going on? Her cut has two stitches, it's about a cm long. Is this a new thing?

    Howling cat

    For some reason over the past couple of months, if I'm at home I can't be alone. If I close myself in a room without Mia, bedroom, bathroom, even if I let her in the bathroom with me but shut her out of the shower she wants to join. She sits there and scratches and howls. Her meow is very tiny...

    How do you play with you cat?

    My husband and I hide behind our couches and act as if we're trying to prey on Mia until she pounces and we roll around on the floor together. Then we chase each other all the way through the house. I'll chase her, she'll chase me. Do you do the same? Do you use toys? What do you do?

    Feral kittens living in carpark..

    There's these three little kittens and this afternoon I noticed that they were living in our complexes carpark. I've called the ranger now and he's going to catch and rehome them, they're only about 5-7 weeks. But to feral for me to catch and deal with. I was playing with one of them this...

    Help! Strange behaviour a few hours after vet visit!

    Mia had a vet visit today, just boosters and worming and I'm starting to worry. He said she would be quiet just like last time but she's never acted like this before. She's slept all day, she's not purring, she's only eaten 6 cat treats and a finger tip of wet food since her visit. She's very...

    Mia's vet visit.

    Mia has just arrived home and I just want to update what the vet told me today. :wavey: He said Mia's weight is much better than last time (even though he didn't mention it last time) he is pro raw-feeding and agrees with me that this is best for Mia. She got her second round of injections and...

    Fake purebred kittens

    Is this wrong in your opinion? This girl I know has some kittens she's selling as "purebred" kittens for $500. They are ragdolls and she has already admitted to some friends that the parents are not pure and that she doesn't have any papers. They have had injections and worming but have not...

    When to spay.

    I don't know if this is the right section but. I just have a question about spaying, as some of you guys may know I'm a first time owner and I have a 17 week old indoor only kitty. So what is a good age to get her fixed? What are the pros and cons of early or later spaying? She is quite a...

    Suckling 17 week old.

    Okay I'm a first time cat owner so I sort of thought the suckling and kneeding was just because she was comfortable but I started reading about it and people say it can cause damage and that the kitten was weaned to soon. Mia's mum stopped feeding her kittens at about 6 weeks and left them in...

    Progress :D

    I thought I'd just update on Mia's progress with her new diet. I've been giving her tinned in the morning and her raw mixture at night time. It was tricky to get her used to it, but a couple of days ago she actually started liking it better than her tinned food :) Plus a big sign that the raw...

    Not sure where to start.

    I'd love to start raw feeding my kitty mia but I'm uncertain of when to start. How to introduce the raw food. What I can feed her raw. And whether this will effect her weight gain because she is on the skinny side despite all my efforts. Any help or comments appreciated :)

    Help!

    My mia is in the dog house at the moment. When we returned home after work today mia had a clump of poop stuck in her fur around her bum. It looks like she had trouble pooping it out because it had fur in it. She'd made a bit of a mess ad if it happens again I'm sure my husband will be rid of...

Recently my friend has had a small amount of success with him (max) rubbing his head on my friends hand while he is putting his food down. My friend is determined to get the...
