good thing i have this tiny amazon box.. otherwise Ellie & Kevin wouldn't have anywhere to lay down
This little dude started limping about 2 weeks ago. After countless vet visits and tests, what we know is there is a microscopic lesion in his front-right arm bone. There’s also a bone infection and swelling in his joints. Most recent tests say it’s not a bacterial infection. He is having more blood drawn tomorrow to see if it’s a fungal infection. He’s on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds.
My vet is consulting with an Orthopedic Surgeon this week to make sure we are doing the right things but the next step is honestly looking like a bone biopsy. This little guy is only 4 months old. I don’t want him to go under anesthesia. He limps when he walks and doesn’t put any weight on that arm if he’s sitting but he runs, he plays, he’s eating fine.
Has anyone had anything like this in their kitten?
So this kitten is one of three found in my neighbors engine, I took them in (I had a lot of leftover supplies since my boy was just a kitten 3 months ago)
I've been feeding him the milk replacer every 4 hours or so, using the suggested measurements on the back. Don't know if I was supposed to heat it up, but he seemed to like it regardless (Did it w my other kittens no problem)
He's almost a month i'd say, and his stomach is bulging from the constipation. I've tried stimulation with a q tip, warm bath, massaged his stomach, no difference. He doesn't cry much either, when he does its more like a squeak compared to his sisters.
I gave him laxatives in his milk twice today, haven't fed him more yet because I;'m worried its gonna harm him. He's been napping a bit on the shoes in the pic, they're probably fuzzy like a cat to him; He hasn't done much else.
Other thing probably of note; We have him separated from his sisters atm because they keep trampling him and trying to latch on his.. yeah. He's a bit smaller than them as well, by a centimeter or two I'd say.
Can't afford to take him to a vet or get anything pricy, anyone experienced have advice? I don't wanna lose hope on him yet.
I took in a bengal mix with a gibbled paw yesterday, and he has been hiding ever since we got home. I have a dog, who is great with cats, but is still understandably stressful for the little guy. I've been able to coax him out with wet food, and he let's me pet him when he comes out, but he always goes right back under the spare bed.
He'll also play while under the bed, but not come out.
I keep my dog separated when I try to interact with the kitty, and understand that it will take time. I'm just wondering if there is a timeframe I can expect to make progress in, and if there's anything I can do beyond making sure food and water are available, and attempting to initiate play.
Unlikely friends but the best of friends. ❤️

Is he a tuxedo baby?
Sweet boy kept thinking his moms kibble were the pellets we use for the litter 😭 he knows where to go now but it took a bit lol
Hi there
I’m bringing a new kitten home in few weeks and I want to be prepared. I had a cat for 9 years and he suddenly passed. The thing is - he was the sweetest lil bugger, just liked to cuddle and be around me. He used litter box without issues from day 1, never scratched anything and so on.
The people I’m getting the kitten from have sent me videos and told me about her and she seems nothng like my old cat, so I’m a bit scared. She climbs up the wallpaper, doesn’t want to use the litter box (she is older now than my old cat when I got him), supposedly she eats anything that is remotely edible and so on.
Is it something that she will grow out of or I can train out? Cats get into mischief when they are bored I guess but other than that, how could I prepare for her?
