I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard when they can't tell us what's wrong and you beat yourself up about "what could I have done?" It sounds like the poor baby was really sick and you couldn't have made a difference. When cats get sick, they do so REALLY quickly and often there is nothing...
Hi everyone, I posted previously about my poor little kitten Jezebel who was peeing on the floor. We thought it was just a problem with her getting house-trained (it was between ages 9 weeks to 15 weeks now), but it turns out the baby has crystalluria! Poor thing! We're getting her on...
Thanks Mr Wendall! Those are good tips. We're doing the treating and enzyme blocker too. Yes, we have the kitten attract litter, and it seems like she likes the fine texture better than the bigger stuff. She has no problem pooping there but doesn't like to pee in it.
I mostly keep them in...
Thank you Mr Wendall! We're trying to be super patient and not act at all frustrated with the little sweetie pie as it's certainly not her fault... We tried confining her to a very small space (~15 square feet) last night and today while we're at work, and so far she's only used the litterbox...
Thank you CatPack! (Sorry I don't know how to reply specifically to you, if there is such a thing.) Yes, we actually did get the Kitten Attract too (can you tell I've been googling and online shopping like crazy here?!?) and she seems to like it better. But she just thinks that floors are for...
I'm so jealous - my 8 week old kitten is not getting it at all. :( I've tried almost everything short of confining her in a really small space like a box. She just thinks pee goes on the bare floor. UGH.
Ugghhh this is driving me insane.
Has anyone tried confining a kitten to a very small space where there's only room for food and water, a bed, and a litter box? Like a fridge box or a large pet crate? It feels cruel, but at the same time, we need to get this figured out!
This system is not...
Yes those are two big names for two very small kitties. Jezebel (the blue point) and Pompy (the gray) are our two new kitties. Such little sweethearts! Jezzie is having some issues with her litter box behavior - young enough that she wasn't full trained by her momma, I think - which you could...
Thanks happybird for the advice. It's frustrating, it's like she just doesn't understand at all that litter = for peeing. She's usually fine getting in the box and pawing around when she poops, but not peeing... Maybe I'll try the pine stuff, that sounds promising. I do have two boxes (1 box...
Oh and if you think she doesn't like the litter texture / consistency, do you have any recommendations for another kind to try? She is a pretty tiny kitty - 1 pound 11 ounces - so perhaps the granules of the two brands we've tried were too big? Do they make a fine sand-like kind?
THANK YOU!
Hi all! I just found this forum and read through some helpful threads. I was hoping to get some advice on my specific situation.
My husband and I recently adopted two kittens, 1 ~14 weeks old from a shelter and one ~7 weeks old (now ~8.5) from someone with kittens to give away. I realize now...
