Ladies, gentlemen and all the others... May I present to you explorers Marco and Lola.
I feel like a monster i dont know what i did wrong, ive taken care or a bunch of cats and dogs over the years. I went in to foster some kittens, the ones they had available where 3 weeks old, they made me take 2 and we ended up choosing the runt and another medium sized one. They were playful and cried a lot. The runt want smaller and weaker but she still acted fine and eat ok. A week in she stopped eating (the shelter provided us with kitten wet food that i would water down to feed them through a medicine syringe) shed about half of what her and her brother usually eat normally, she was still acting ok but by next morning she was limp and didnt meow so we took her to the shelter vet where they euthanized her bc she “failed to thrive”. I figured it was bc was too little to survive without an actual mom. The other baby was just fine, a week later had diarrhea and we took him back to the vet to get him checked out. They did tests said he was fine gave me antibiotics, a powder for his good and a cream for his irritated parts. That was this sunday, yesterday he was better, eat less than usual but still ok walking around following my other cat to play. This morning he was slower i forced fed him a bit if food and left for work. I came back at noon he was still ok. At 3 i checked on him and he had no strength. I tried giving him water but he refused and i didnt want to force him in fear of chocking him or something. Now hes completely limp and cold to the touch ive been trying to warm him up for hours. He barely breathes and makes random noises, he just started to randomly stretch but in seizure like movements. The vet closed at 6 and i live an hour away anyway. I dont think hell make it through the night and i dont know what to do. I feel so terrible but i cant imagine what i did wrong. I fed and gave them enough water till they were full. I helped them poop, i let them roam around with supervision. Me and my mom are taking turns keeping him on our chest for warmth while passes. I feel like a murderer
Me and my husband have 7 cats currently and these two little turds were found in a skid steer that was brought into my husband's work (he works at a tractor dealership). We estimate they are 3 to 4 weeks old. Meet Skippy (tabby girl) and Cheddar (orange boi).
Madeleine is about 2 months shy of a year, so she'll be switching off kitten food soon! But being that she was a stray when we found her, she has a bit of a food issue.
If she's allowed to free feed she'll throw up all over the house from eating to fast. We bought her a slow feeder which has helped immensely. But I suspect she's been sneaking her older brothers food. He likes to nibble throughout the day but suddenly his food bowl is always empty.
She's lookin pretty chonk lately too, so besides heavily supervising their eating times I'm not sure what to do. ):
My 8 month old kitten is a chunky butt. I have the LR4 and it is weighing him at 10 pounds. I’m concerned. He eats 1 can of fancy feast and a bowl of Merrick kitten kibble a day. The bowl is about a cups worth.
He’s not a large cat by any means. His mom was 1/2 Maine coon so I’m always keeping that in mind. But he’s a DSH so I’m thinking he should be 10 lbs full grown.
He eats like he’s never had food before in his life. Am I feeding him too much? I did a “cat food calculator” and according to Merrick I should be giving him 549 calories per day! That’s a lot. Right now he gets about 467 and he’s gaining weight daily. Thoughts? Suggestions? TIA
Hello! This is my first post ever so please excuse of it's all over the place! I adopted 2 kittens in January and they are 5.5 months old currently. They both are super affectionate kitten constantly purring and rubbing their faces on you, how ever my male kitten has started doing this weird thing where when he's really happy, he chomps. And I dont mean like a light grazing of the teeth, he chomps hard. Nothing seems to deter him, I've tried pushing him away or putting him down when he does it, I've tried saying ouch loudly (this is what I would do when he wouldbplay too roughly when he was younger and it got him to play more gently), I'm not sure what else to do to get him to stop. He's never upset or uncomfortable when he does it, always super happy and purring and content. Any advice or suggestions are super appreciated!
Mariko and Jarvis! Jarvis is the orange one and is super tiny, Mariko is the dark one.
So my cat had kittens 4 weeks ago and my fiance is letting me keep one and I chose this one! Please help me name her!
