That's the mom. The two small ones are her kids. She has 4 in total. Couldn't find them during the recording.
She's not afraid. I even picked and held her for 20 seconds. Not too long, just in case I get hurt from a stray.
Ty for the reply. I believe they are 4 weeks. 2 weeks ago, they can barely run.
Should these kittens stay with mom till 10-12 weeks old and learn how to be a cat? Or is it because they are strays, and the socialization window with humans, is more important?
I think shes most likely a stray, she...
I don't understand the pregnancy part.
So after she gives birth, she will still be pregnant from mating with the tom?
Which will be 3ish week pregnant after giving birth to her first litter?
There's a stray mother cat that I see and feed daily. She has 4 kittens around 4 weeks. I don't have the time and money to socialize, to neuter, to vet, etc....
I was thinking of just putting all 5 of them in my cat carrier and calling a local rescue group if they have time, space and money to...
Just reading it, seems like he has more freedom and can open up being himself when its just you and him.
Do you believe he won't be as open towards you, after a new cat comes in?
To Hallie,
I went through a similar experience as you did. My first cat was very chill, he easily adjusted within a week. He let you touch his belly, pick him up, carry him like a baby. He comes when called (most of the time), likes car rides, and likes to play fetch. And he didn't complained...
Is your husband angry because she doesn't trust him and only you?
Does the two other cats give him love?
Does he spend money on the other two cats?
What actions did you take to gain her trust? Did your husband replicate on what you did?
That sucks to hear. That's strange, I thought cats relied more on more than on sight. I saw a few videos of cats scared of costumes on youtube and it was strange. Maybe it was the costume's smell overridden the human smell?
I have no clue as to what's the next step you should do.
I'm a noob that reads forums, but doesn't have real experience. Older cats do tend to have a harder time adjusting and he will miss you. Just like us, most humans, will adjust and move on. I think cats live more in the present. So maybe he will grieve for a bit then get on with his life.
In...
What's the dynamic between you and the new kitten?
How is K behaving when he's around or when he's not?
I am curious as to what others would say about this.
Is it because she's emotionally drained from having to deal with another cat?
Is it adjusting?
And
LOL. I was exactly going to put a youtube link for PART 3 on the baby food right when you just posted this. LOL
I'm no expert, but it seemed like a good advice on using baby food.
Let's say the cat's scent was at still lingering a week after. Won't he recognize it's his domain?
Or the moving every week, is stressful, and the scent won't even matter?
Had you had him since he was a baby or very young?
When my cat was a kitten, he'd climb on me with claws. I say "Ow" multiple times real loud. He eventually learned after a few days. After a few days from consistent non-climbing days. He had an urge during playtime to climb on me. And the...
