    Best taurine supplement?

    I'm about to start an elimination diet with my cat to work out if a food allergy is causing her skin problems. We're starting with rabbit as she's had most other proteins so I've been advised to add taurine as I know rabbit is quite low in it. Do I need to buy a specific cat taurine supplement...

    Food allergies

    The vet and I think that my cat Jynx is allergic to either something in the environment or food. She gets sore spots that come and go on her legs and belly. We've ruled our fleas and mites and seasonal allergies so environment and food are next on our list. I think we should try an elimination...

    Does my cat look pregnant?

    I don't want to get into the details of how as it's not really relevant but I think Luna may be pregnant. A few days ago her appetite severely decreased and she was really quiet and not herself. She's since perked back up and her appetite is now better than ever! I think she's starting to look a...

    Kitten age?

    I picked up my newest kitten Jessie on the 6th of June and was told she was 10 weeks old. I weighed her when I got her home and she was 770g. She's been steadily putting on weight and when I weighed her on the 29th of August she was 1964g. She's still really small and I'm starting to think she's...

    Litter box problems

    I have two cats, Luna who is 5 months old and Jessie who is 4 months old. Luna is great with using the litter box and never has any problems. I'm having problems with Jessie though. She knows how to use the litter boxes, she knows where they are (we have one outside and one downstairs) and...

    Luna and Jessie <3

    I love these 2 so much. When we first got Jessie I was worried that Luna wasn't going to accept her. Now they spend all day playing and then curl up together! Luna is the grey tabby and Jessie is the torti :D

    Coughing kitten

    My 14 week old kitten Jessie seems to have a little cough that has been going on since we got her 4 weeks ago. It only seems to happen in the evening when she's laying on you and purring but it's not constant and soon stops. She also has an extremely quiet meow and sometimes she looks like she's...

    Best cat litter (UK)?

    I was originally using cat San non clumping litter which did a good job of reducing odour but it meant that I had to completely empty and clean the tray at least once a week. So I bought some cheap clumping litter to see if that would be any good and I absolutely love it. I love that I'm...

    Cat being too rough with new kitten?

    Having bought in a new 10 week old kitten to keep 15 week old Luna company, we now have a new problem. They get along fine for the most part and play together. But Luna is getting too rough and doesn't know when to stop and although Jessie is squealing, hissing and biting back, Luna isn't...

    How to tell the difference between playing and fighting?

    We've been slowly introducing our new 10 week old kitten Jessie to our 14 week old kitten Luna. To start with there was a fair amount of hissing but no physical contact of any sort. A couple of days later and they seem to be playing, but I worry that it might actually be fighting. Luna still...

    Mice?

    So I've discovered that my kitten absolutely loves eating mice. So, I'm thinking of breeding them myself to cut down on the cost of buying them. I just wondered if anyone here also breeds them for their cats? If so, what is your set up? I plan to feed mainly mice and add in a bit of liver...

    How to stop kitten play biting?

    My 10 week old kitten Luna has been getting worse with play biting hands recently. I've read the tiles, I've tried distracting her with a toy but she's never interested in any of them (even new ones), I've tried ignoring her but then she tries to get your arms, I've tried walking away but she...

    Getting a second kitten?

    I really want to get Luna, my 10 week old kitten, a playmate. It would give her someone to play with when we are at work and would hopefully teach her that play biting is not good! However, my boyfriend thinks that if we get another one, they will prefer each other's company to ours. I think...

    Thinking of raw feeding my kitten

    I'd like to transition my 9 week old kitten to raw food. The only dilemma I'm having, is how to feed her while I'm out at work. Currently, she gets wet food in the morning, dry food during the day, wet food in the evening and dry food overnight. Obviously as she's still young, she needs to eat...

    Feeding wet and dry food?

    I'm currently feeding my 9 week old kitten James Wellbeloved kitten wet and dry food. I want to feed her both as I know the wet is better for her but also feel that dry has benefits and is more convenient to leave out while I'm at work and during the night. I was leaving both foods down all the...

    Introducing Luna

    I've had little Luna for 5 days and she's already made herself at home! My boyfriend and I picked her out at 4 weeks old and then had an agonising months wait til we could bring her home! Her favourite place to sleep is on my boyfriends shoulder or chest. She's so friendly and funny and I'm...

    New kitten (and first ever cat)

    Today I picked up my little 8 week old girl Luna. We had her in a cat box on my lap for the car ride home and she cried the whole way home. I honestly felt like I was being such a horrible person for taking her from her 2 brothers and her mum. I was starting to worry that I'd have to take her...

    What colour is my kitten?

    I'm still trying to figure out what colour my kitten is. I pick her up next week so the only photos I have are ones that her current home have sent me. I can't decide whether or not it's just the light, or she does actually have slight gingery patches. I'm assuming it will be easier to tell...

    Feeding new kitten

    I'll be picking up an 8 week old kitten in a couple of weeks time and have a few questions on feeding. I plan on gradually switching the kitten to James Wellbeloved kitten wet and dry food. I don't like the idea of free feeding and leaving food out all day but there are going to be a couple of...
