    8 week old kitten swallowed half a rubber nipple

    I haven't taken him to the vet yet.  Unfortunally due to a unexpected bill this month I don't have the funds to do so.  But the vet did say since he is acting and eating just fine, chances are he passed it, or didn't swallow it in the first place.  Next month when I have the money I am taking...

    8 week old kitten swallowed half a rubber nipple

    I can't get ahold of Tigger's vet until tomorrow because it is after hours.  But I will call tomorrow as soon as they open up.  It may be possible he didn't swallow it, and I just can't find it, but like you said, rather be safe than sorry.  And every time I catch Tigger going poo, I do put...

    8 week old kitten swallowed half a rubber nipple

    Thanks so much.  I am not really worried about it anymore, because if it was going to cause him problems, it would have caused him problems already.  But I still keep my eye on his poo just to make sure he hasn't pooped it up yet.  Then again, it is possible he went poo and it came out, and I...

    8 week old kitten swallowed half a rubber nipple

    Ok, so my boyfriend was feeding my kitten from a bottle.  Even though we told him he is to old and completely ready to be off the bottle because all he was doing pretty much was biting the nipple.  Anyway, he was feeding him from the bottle and Tigger, bit of half the nipple and swallowed it.  I...

    Kittens will only use one litterbox?

    The only time it will become a problem for cats to share the same litter box is when one of them has worms.  If that is the case you want the one with the worms to use a separate litter box so it can't be transferred to the other cats.

    My three adult cats are not eating!

    Ok, I should have mentioned, they are eating, but only a little bit.  So I am not sure if I should really be concerned at this point, since they are eating, even though just a little bit each feeding, or what.  And maybe your right, maybe they are coming to realize Tigger isn't going anywhere...

    Kitten making a bee-line for the door

    Unfortunately since your kitten was a outside kitten to begin with, he has the wild in him.  He is use to the outdoors and that is where he wants to be.  You could try letting him be an indoor/outdoor cat.  Or you can just let him be an outdoor cat and continue to care for him.  Or you could...

    EWW Mouse!

    LOL.  That is to funny.  Personally if that was me who found the mouse I would have totally flipped and had a holy cow.  I can't STAND mice or rats.  Terrified of them.  However your kitten probably left it there with you, because it was extremely proud of it's catch and kill.  He wanted you to...

    Kittens will only use one litterbox?

    I have 4 cats.  3 adults and one kitten.  I have 3 litter boxes, they each use all of them.  However, it is not uncommon for a cat to use just one litter box.  They become familiar with that box, it has there scent in it and it is like a preference, they just like it.  Try putting there business...

    lost cat came home... to new cat.

    When ever you bring home a new cat, your other cats will most likely at first feel depressed and replaced.  They might even ignore the other cat.  But try to get them together at separate times threw out the day and introduce them to each other slowly.  And most important, spend as much time...

    Yes, Tigger has made big progress.  I am so proud of him.  And as of right now, he eats plain old can cat food with no baby food mixed in with it.  I was getting ready to feed him this morning, put the cat food in the dish first, was getting ready to get the baby food so I could mix it in with...

    Pic of Tigger

    Thanks for letting me know what time of cat he is.  I was always wondering.  And your right, it does look like he is wearing a white mask.  Never noticed that before.  Good observation!

    Pic of Tigger

    That is a picture of my precious baby boy Tigger.  Don't know what breed he is, only know he is a short hair.  That is when he was about 4 and a half weeks old.  I will post one now that he is 6 weeks one day old.  He is much bigger.  He has some LONG legs and he is going to be a jumper and a...

    Tigger my 6 week old is eating solids.

    I am using Beechnut, and it has no garlic or onion in it, it is just strictly chicken and chicken broth, and turkey and turkey broth.  But now Tigger is eating more cat food than he is baby food because I am weaning him off the baby food.  He is doing really good.  One problem we were also...

    Teething Kitten

    I will try what you suggested after I take him to the vet to get weighed today.  I told his vet I wasn't sure if he was gaining or loosing weight (to me it feels as if he lost a tiny bit of weight) and she said to bring him in to be weighed and if he has lost weight then she will be concerned...

    Teething Kitten

    I have been deluting his formula for about a week now.  He for the past 3 days has gone poo every day.  One day he goes a lot, the second day he went just a tiny bit, then yesterday he went a lot again.  Other than that he goes usually every other day.  But due to the fact that it seemed to me...
