I called our local vet for advice before i bathed them and in this case im certain i did the right thing. It was an infestation and they NEEDED the fleas removed. I bathed them twice and both times before i used the capstar on mom i picked fleas off. Kittens this young CAN safety be bathed as...
I ended up giving mom the kitten glop (goats milk, egg yolk, yogurt mix) and she felt better and has been staying with the kittens. Yesterday i found fleas, i have no idea how they happened my cats indoors and treated with advantage.. anyway i bathed each kitten with baby soap and picked the...
Thank you guys!! Yes the kittens are in my room, the nest was under the bottom drawer of my dresser that was pulled out halfway.. Because i didnt want them to accidentally get bumped i took the drawer out and put up a blanket covering for privacy instead. I have her water and food dishes for wet...
Moms using my room as a litter box which is very strange behavior for her, shes not had an accident since the first week she was here. I have a litter box upstairs for her now as well as the one we've always had down stairs but she just pooped twice in my room in the last 3 hours even after i...
Thank you for your comments!! i ran out before midnight to try to get kitten formula but all i could at our latenight grocer was goats milk, its powered though.. i was thinking maybe if needed mixing kitten gulp? I have given mom nondairy milk and eye yolk twice since she had the kittens maybe i...
Thats what i was keeping an eye out for her responding to the kittens, im bringing her back when they cry because she is not returning when awake and trying to fall asleep outside the nest which is worrying me. I just observed her run away in fear when then kittens began fighting each other for...
My cat who is only around 40 weeks old now snuck out before i had a chance to get her spayed 60 days ago and now we have a litter of 6. I am concerned because momma is leaving babies for more than just litter box/eating visits..she will leave the nest and try to sleep or come down stairs away...
That was also my worry that It might make her associated something negative with me. Now oranges she actually likes to steal and play with lol but i will have to look in to the other ones because you're right it doesn't seem to KEEP her off just get her off.. i guess maybe its better of "incase...
Yesterday morning before i went out my kitten (i think shes around 14 weeks?) had what i though was some fur out of place on her jaw, it wasn't very noticeable. we were gone all day but when we came home it was a noticeable swollen lump. As of morning it was even more swollen. (as of this...
We recently adopted a new kitten, im not a new cat owner but its been a few years and i know times have changed and im wondering if my method is correct. Right now i am using a shaker (its a pastic bottle filled with macaroni that makes a loud noise and sartleds her off the table) it does seem...
Awesome!! Thank you for all of the info! Im going to check all of this out! I haven't taken her to the vet just yet, other then the peeing outside the box she seems healthy but you are right it is hard to tell with cats because they tend to mask symptoms and so If it continues after ive done...
This post got me teary, this place looks so beautiful. I remember years ago my then young cat was hit by a car and his face swelled up exactly like the cat in the first photo, it was months before the swelling went down it was so heart breaking. He was never exactly the same, before the accident...
Thank you! Yes domestic shorthair would be her breed, i guess more what i meant was what breed does she resemble without officially knowing lol your Henry is gorgeous! He's like a panther :) i love black cat's!!
To be clear i HAVE checked the house for pee lol its just hard to tell because the color of my carpet is stain forgiving and her pee doesnt really smell unless i go up to it and check (gross i know but i have 2 toddlers and i have to play the sniff the stain game often, most of the time crossing...
We have 2 floors, the first time she peed outside of the box i still had the second box in place. It was early on but she does use the box to pee in sometimes too she just seemed to like peeing in certain places also? Its odd, im thinking maybe the previous owner wasn't completely honest about...
I did have a second litter box set up upstairs which she was using but after i was sure she was use to the stairs and could find her way around i took it out. She was peeing on the carpet then on my kids little couch which i have since cleaned with baking soda and vinager. Her food isn't near...
