I don't care what litter type you use, not scooping at least once a day is disgusting and potentially dangerous to you and your cats' health. 7 days or more not scooping? Are you kidding me? Good luck with your future toxoplasmosis.  After trial & error of 8 different litter types and brands...

Sorry, I haven't read every single one of the 150+ posts. Your first post in this thread didn't mention attacking your inside cats. I was just trying to help, but it seems like you're all taken care of.

Hi Jayvan, Lots of good advice on here, I'd just like to offer a couple of alternative views on feeding.  Cat guardian to 4 cuties of various ages. 1) Avoid canned FISH at all cost: http://www.littlebigcat.com/nutrition/why-fish-is-dangerous-for-cats/ Tiki-Cat is expensive and I wouldn't...

Agreed.  We switched vets twice because of various disagreements. 1) The dreaded "D" word, which most vets in North America still condone and I vehemently do not. 2) 80% dogs in a crowded waiting room of a multi-vet clinic 3) Misdiagnosis and high billing Also vets that vaccinate annually...

Of course she will, I'm thinking about other potential issues: 1) mammary glands getting in way of surgery 2) kitten going longer than 24hrs without momma milk 3) potential contamination of milk with anesthetic or pain meds 4) momma cat sensitivity of glands with kitten suckling right after...

If she's still nursing the kittens I would hold off spaying until momma cat has weaned them off.  How old are the kittens now ? All better with their URIs ?

I agree also.  With his rough start and fragile health, no outdoors for him.  Also, distemper among other viruses can be dragged in on your shoes, ticks on your pants, etc. We take our shoes off in the garage and wash our hands before going inside and greeting our cats.   I haven't read the...

Well, looks like catsrworld  is MIA and went ahead with the declaw.  Hoping he hasn't. Growing up in the 70s, my first cat was a ferocious feral, that I took in one evening as a young teenager against the wishes of my parents then. I got scratched up pretty good, but after about 3 months, he...

Real men love cats! My partner and I are guardians to 4 wonderful cats.  I do most of the work because she's on disability. I'm proud to be a cat-daddy!

My recommendation is to wait a bit longer with neutering.  Especially if he's the only cat in the household. My boy Gingy was neutered at 10 months, weighing a healthy 10lbs.  He's now 2 years and 16lbs and very strong. His brother came pre-neutered from the BCSPCA at only 8 weeks.  He's only...

Plan  is spot on.   That kitten is at a critical age and needs love, warmth, frequent feeding and constant care. Yes, that means getting up ever 3-4 hours and feeding her, not after your restful 8hour sleep.   You know, kinda like a human baby does.

natalielmr, your lack of urgency to care for such a young kitten is rather concerning. FYI, it's not "whining", this is a baby that's hungry and missing its mom. If I was you, I'd check around the building where she was found. Chances are, there are other tiny kittens and a momma cat looking...

You didn't mention if he had the FVRCP vaccine shots ?  Also, I always test my newcomers for FIV (kitty AIDS) which is a simple blood test. Usually comes back in 3-4 business days. Use that time for scent or site swapping, to allow the established cat to get used to the newcomers scent. We...

Ah ok, that makes sense now.    Ours was home grown and is about as socialized as it gets at this stage. Good job for her taking on a scared feral cat.  Being a kitten she'll have a good chance of training it.

3months old and still in a crate ? Our "Gingy" is 7 weeks old and roaming freely in the house, potty trained and all, despite being the runt of a litter of 6. I've always kept litter boxes inside the main bathroom.  Easy to scoop & flush :) Agree with CatPack above, keep it away from main...
