    Long term boarding advice

    I have two weeks to move out of my house - long story but I've been living in an unofficial rental arrangement and my landlady is selling and just told me she want's to paint in two weeks so that's how long I have. I don't have a new place lined up yet so I'll be putting my stuff in storage...

    Weird motion with paws?

    I've been trying to think how to explain this for a while. Jasper is 10 months old and often does this strange thing with his front paws. It's like he wants to touch something right in front of his face but his paw goes out to the side of his body instead of straight ahead. It goes left paw to...

    Calcium powder for pets

    I'm currently feeding a mix of canned, commercial raw, and frankenprey to Jasper (9mths old). As I'm sure many here can relate, the whole bone ratio issue is doing my head in and is holding me back from feeding more homemade raw. Ideally, I would like to feed only bone in meals, but just can't...

    Conflicted about getting second cat

    I am really considering getting a second cat but I have so many reservations. I have had my kitten Jasper for about 6 months and he is 8-9 months old. He is an indoor only cat. I am home most of the time so he is not alone very often. It is just me and Jasper living together. Overall, I think...

    Basic raw menu to start with

    I have been introducing my kitten Jasper to raw food for a few months now. He is about 8-9 months old and weighs 4.5kgs (9.9 pounds)and doesn't look overweight (though he has a decent layer of fat on him). I am currently feeding him a mix of canned, commercial raw, and raw chunks of meat. He has...

    Question for Da Bird addicts

    This is just out of curiosity more than anything. Jasper's most favourite thing in the world is Da Bird, so no surprises there. We have a certain way of playing with it together. He prefers to hunt it rather than chasing it. I make it fly around a bit before dropping it out of his view, then he...

    To build an outdoor enclosure or not?

    Hi, I wasn't quite sure if this belongs in Behaviour but I think it's relevant. I have a 6 month kitten, Jasper, in a single pet home. Jasper is the 6th cat I've had in my life but the first cat that I have decided will be an indoor only cat. So far he seems pretty happy with this and is...

    Baby teeth extraction

    About a week ago I noticed that Jasper had started growing his adult lower canine teeth alongside his baby teeth. The baby teeth are not even feeling loose yet and the new adult teeth are almost as big as the baby teeth already! I took him to the vet today for his vaccination. As I expected, I...

    Is this normal litter box behaviour?

    My kitten, Jasper, is 4 - 5 months old and I've had him for almost two months. When he uses the litter, he spends a while scratching around after he has done his business. I would say he spends up to one minute scratching around. At first I put it down to playing and then I stopped noticing...

    Sweet kitten but bites really hard

    Hi, I want to start out by saying my kitten Jasper is a very sweet and loving little boy. I've had him for almost 5 weeks and he is probably aged between 3.5 to 4.5 months. When he is in a playful mood, like many other kittens, he likes to bite me. It's not really a problem but the thing that...

    Does my kitten resemble any breeds?

    Hi, this is my little Jasper. I have had him for one month now and I think he is about 3.5 months old. I got him from the local vet and he had been found with his brother in a backyard. He is very shy with strangers but he is my little sidekick and seems to adore me as I do him. I think he will...

    3 month old kitten has ringworm - need help

    Hi, I posted about a week ago about settling in my 10-12 week old kitten Jasper. Well now he's got ringworm! I took him him to the vet today, she gave him sporanox. It's in capsules. I have followed her instructions and mixed a capsule into a teaspoon of butter and divided that into 10 portions...

    Settling in a shy kitten

    I got a new kitten on Friday night (Sunday morning now). He (Jasper) is about 10 - 12 weeks old. I got him at a local vet. Jasper and his brother and sister were found in someone's backyard and cared for in a foster home. He had been up for adoption at the vets for about 2 weeks. He is a very...
