Sometimes I just don’t understand these creatures…

Our kittens are currently 10 weeks old (siblings), and we've had them for 2 weeks. I'm trying to figure out the logistics of a Christmas tree - is it better to put one up this year and start teaching them to leave it alone? Is a gate better? Do we bypass it this year and try next year when they're older? They really like to climb their cat tree so I'm nervous!

What’s the best food for kittens. I’ve been looking into raw food as well. Lila is two months old this next week so I want to make sure I’m feeding her good food.

Hello cat lovers!! so I rescued a female kitten and now she's around 3-4 months. Decided to bring a friend (male siamese) for companion so she doesn't get lonely. The male kitten is around 5ish-6 months and is really grumpy to my tuxie girl. He always growls whenever she sees her and hisses when she's near. For context, I only got a single room since I'm still in college, so I only have my carrier for some isolation. I wonder how can I get them be comfy to each other?

Isn’t he just so adorable I’m in love.

I am helping out a ~6 week old kitten who was in a bad position. all her siblings died, so I took her in hopes i’d save at least one. I have her in a cardboard box, one blanket, medium intensity heating pad, then another blanket. I have watered down wet food in there and some litter. I was told she will eat wet food and sometimes even hard food. her eyes and ears are all open and her teeth are great. she was covered in fleas. I gave her a dawn dish soap bath and tried to get some off but it stressed her out so bad so I didnt get them all off. I will hopefully be able to give her another one. she’s a little bony but it’s not so concerning yet, her belly is still a little round from whenever she last ate, which is unknown to me. do I find formula? feed her with a syringe? let her settle and hope she eats? what are my next steps? I need reassurance that I m doing the right things and can do this and she’ll be okay, or guidance on what to do next.

For context she had no problems using the litter box to poop when we first got her, but recently (a few weeks ago) she’s started only pooping on the floor. She’ll pee in her box no problem but it’s like she refuses to poop in there. And she knows she shouldn’t because when we hear her scratching at the carpet and come to redirect her to the litter box she freezes like she’s been caught red handed. Any advice would be helpful!

Give me all your pros and cons of getting a kitten, we’re not home enough to raise a puppy but I’ve heard cats are way more independent. I have a 3yr old and a 1.5 yr old.

This is a picture of a kitty I adopted, we heard him mewing on the street and picked him up and gave him a good home

My cat is honestly the sweetest thing ever. When I get home from anywhere she comes up and wants to snuggle. Other people say girl cats aren't sweet but I must've got lucky.

Do you guys have any recommendations on short hair wrist long hair cats or in the long run will that not matter too much?
