It's a kitten thing, but it is treatable. I had this problem with one of my cats -- she was very bitey when she wanted attention. I got a water spritzer and gently sprayed her every time she bit me or my husband. Another method is to gently tap your cat on the nose; cats really hate this, and if...

I have 2 cats -- Florence and Paris. They are littermates, both female, both spayed, 3 years old. On Friday (Dec. 12), Paris ate and then vomited up a rubber band. I rushed her to the vet. The vet did an X-ray and gave Paris a clean bill of health. I brought Paris home. I knew that...

They've been home together for several hours, but Florence's aggression didn't start until recently (about 45-60 mins ago). I'm mostly worried because it's after midnight where I am and I need to get some sleep. I've put Paris in the bathroom, but she is crying incessantly, and it's driving me a...

I have two cats, Paris and Florence. They are 8 months old and are siblings. Both are females and both have been spayed. They've been having some tummy troubles (diarrhea), so I took them to the vet today. The vet gave them a clean bill of health. This was their first visit to the vet since I...

I've had them since December (going on 3 months). Their food hasn't changed at all since I got them; I feed them a mix of kitten food (Fancy Feast) and this stuff from Friskies that has gravy in it (the box says it's for both cats and kittens). They were both dewormed at the vet back in December...

I have two kittens (both age 8 months). One of them has diarrhea, but I don't know which one (found it in the litter box when I got home from work today). Are there any home remedies for diarrhea in kittens? They both seem fine and are behaving normally, but one of them has diarrhea, and I...

I'd rather not put the mattress directly on the floor. We're using the space under the bed to store stuff. I think that if I use solid pieces of plywood, it'll keep the kittens out. I was just wondering if there was a product I could buy or if I just have to go to Home Depot.

I know it's been said, but I'd recommend getting a hot water bottle and wrapping it in a towel so they have something warm and soft to snuggle with. I've also heard that putting something that makes a steady noise (like a ticking clock or a metronome) in with the kittens can help them adjust...

I have two 7-month old kittens, and they love going under the bed. I normally don't let them in the bedroom because of this; I have storage bins under the bed, and I don't really want the kittens under there. The slats holding the mattress up also fall out on occasion, and I don't want the...

This response is late, but here's an update: About three hours after I made the initial post, I noticed that the kitten's anus had gone completely back to normal. I took her to the vet anyway, and it turns out that she has a minor rectal prolapse; it's more noticeable after her bowel movements...

I adopted two six month old kittens about a week ago, and I have noticed that one has a bright red anus.  She is behaving normally and is eating both wet and dry food. She has been dewormed. She does not appear to have diarrhea; her poops look completely normal. She doesn't appear to be in any...

UPDATE: The kittens came out from under the bed, so I shut the bedroom door. I don't want them under the bed because the slats holding the mattress up don't always stay in; I didn't want the kittens to be injured by falling slats. We're all in the living room now. They don't come over to me...

There's nothing breakable in the bedroom. I spent at least the last 2 hours in there with cat treats, but to no avail. And now one of them is under my nightstand. I've been doing the slow blink, but neither kitten responds to it. They stare at me but don't return the blink. They aren't hissing...

Thanks so much for the advice! The way my apartment is set up is that the kitchen/living room is one giant area. I left the bedroom door open last night so I could hear the kittens and take care of them if they needed it (they knocked over a plant at around 1 am and were meowing at around 4...

I adopted two four month old kittens (they are sisters) yesterday and brought them home. I'm trying very hard to help them adjust. Yesterday, they were hiding under the kitchen table, so I sat near them and talked to them for at least two hours. I held out my hand and let them sniff me, and they...
