Every night at around 5am, my kitten, Jinx, wakes me up by climbing all over me and putting her face or paws in my face. Whether I pet her or ignore her, she attacks my hands/stomach, at which point I pick her up and gently toss her off the bed.
This never works for me though. She always thinks it's a game and comes right back. But if she bothers my boyfriend and he throws her off, she stays away.
How do I get her to take me seriously?
3 month old Smudge is very enthusiastic about his suckle blanket.
She’s such a trooper and doesn’t mind the water! I’ve trained her with baths since bringing in from the streets at just 3 weeks old (flea baths at first). She’s 4 months now. Ever since then, she gotten accustomed to occasional baths and doesn’t mind them. I have to say, I never thought I’d own at cat or adore one so very much. She’s stolen my heart; I love my little girl! 🥺💝 I now feel and see why people love their pets so much. 😭
We got a new kitten Smudge last week. He’s 3 months old and super sweet, he loves his big brothers and gets along well with them… except at food times. We serve them each their own bowl but Smudge will aggressively push the others away from their bowls and growl while defending the food. We’ve started feeding him separately but we’d like to work on this problem and integrate him back into the dining room.
He was with his siblings and another litter up until we brought him home so he’s always eaten with others. As far as I know his fosters had no issues with feeding and he’s a normal weight for his age so he wasn’t malnourished. Our other cats are so docile with him and let him steal their food without trying to get it back so it’s not like he’s fighting them for it.
Any suggestions on how to work on this? Smudge picture for kitten tax 🥰
Hi! I just got my new kitten and he’s only been eating dry food from breeder with the occasional tuna,
How do i incorporate wet food for him and how much would you recommend I give him daily? He is 4 months nearly 5months old has constant supply of dry foods just looking for some advice as I see a lot of mixed info around so I’m a little confused thanks
My cat (10 months old so idk if technically still a kitten but still very baby) whines excessively. We work from home so I think he doesn’t understand why we can’t always give him attention if we’re just sitting around during the day. If you throw one of his favorite toys, toss out some catnip, make him an enrichment lick mat, etc. it will keep him occupied for like <5 minutes and then he will start crying again. The only thing that occupies him for longer is the toys with a string or whatever on a stick (photo of him w his comfort ribbon for evidence)- but I can’t stand and wave that all day, and he doesn’t like the kind you hang from a doorway. PLZ HELP!! 😭
Little Siya (5 months old) snuggling with some of his elders.. Siya is Balinese for 9 (he is our ninth rescue cat here). Hoping to stay out of double figures as I'm pretty sure that's the defining line for being a crazy cat man.
