Our 9 month old cat,Pixie, had two kittens..now 6 weeks old. Stella and Luna are very sweet and playful but sometimes seem to hurt each other. Is there anything I can do to encourage them to be more gentle?

It's a phase. They are actually learning limits from each other, but you can separate them if it gets too rough.

Yep, playing rough is how they learn their kitty manners :D. Don't interfere unless one is getting picked on badly or you think things have really gotten out of hand. They learn how hard they can bite without making their sibling squall, that really helps their manners.

We'd love to see photos! And I love the names.

Do you plan to have mom fixed? She can go in around two weeks from now.
