    Stray/Outdoor/Feral (?) Mama cat and kitten

    A couple of days ago, I heard loud meowing outside my place  and when I looked outside I saw a tiny kitten running around the sidewalk and street. I immediately went outside, and then, realized I had no idea what to do in this situation. Did it have a family? Is it a stray? Did it belong to...

    When does a cat pass a meal it ate?

    My younger cat, around 5 1/2 months, has loose stools occasionally. I'm suspecting that it's a food intolerance to something. (Her latest fecal panel was negative. She had been dewormed several times, treated for coccidia months ago at the adoption center.) She usually has solid poops, but now...

    Rapid shallow breathing, but health normal?

    I see my 6 month old kitten have rapid shallow breathing even while she's just laying around, I've counted anywhere from 80 to 100 breathes per minute. I've taken her to the vet a couple of times (they're sick of me) and had an x-ray done. She had started coughing while purring over a month ago...

    Adult teeth coming in! Baby teeth still there?

    I just noticed today that my kitten's adult teeth are starting to come in. She has been teething and I'm excited to see them finally come in, but is what you see in the pictures normal, to your experience? It looks like her baby canine teeth still haven't fallen out and her gums look visibly red...

    Tasty liquid topper?

    Hi community! Are there any tasty liquid toppers that I would be able to give to my kitties? Both my cats have a history of URIs, so I've been giving them l-lysine supplements for a while by mixing it into their wet food. I used the whole foods' brand, but more recently have begun changing to...

    Kitten's first chicken wing - Does bone digest?

    I heard that chewing on raw chicken bone is good for a kitty's dental health, and thought it'd be great to give my kittens a chicken wing (the wingnette [?] part, the two bones joined together) once a week or so, rather than do a terrible job at trying to brush their teeth. The idea of a raw...

    Kittens bored while recovering from spay

    Hello! I have two kittens. My 16 week old kitty got spayed last week and my 12 week old kitten came to me spayed at 9 weeks. My recently-spayed kitty is taking it easy and being a bit of a grumpy-puss to everyone, and she has always had a more cautious personality. The weather has also been kind...

    Food causing mineral debris?

    Has anybody heard of mineral debris in a cat's stomach? My 4-month old kitty had x-rays taken recently because I was concerned about her coughing while purring. Her x-rays and physical exam turned out normal on the respiratory end, but my kitty's x-ray happened to show a lot of mineral debris in...

    Kitten introductions - what to do next?

    Hello! I'm a new kitten mama. I've always wanted a cat but hadn't been able to because of allergies. But a few months ago, I found a tiny stray kitten all by itself outdoors, and decided to take her in. I had no idea about kittens or cats at the time. My allergies acted up a little bit, but I'm...

    Newly adopted kitten and older stray kitten

    Hello! I'm a new kitten mama, and I had some questions, would really love some clarity and advise from those who have any to offer. Kitten #1: around 14 weeks old. She was a stray kitten that I found outdoors at 5 weeks old. She has not been spayed yet because she hasn't been fully well enough...
