she loves everything, even dogs
So my females cat just got spayed and now has turned to a straight menance in the house lol instead of drinking her water she would put her paws all the tot he bottom and fling it all out not sure what to do about that
I rescued a kitten that was 2-3 weeks old. I he was so little that he still had to be bottle fed and stimulated to potty. He’s now almost 6 weeks and he’s learning to do a lot of things very quickly, of course. I had lots of cats growing up, but they were all female and my mom wasn’t a very good pet owner, so they were just allowed to be wild, mean, and were neglected most of the time.
I’ve raised this little kitten, and he loves me so much already. I just want to make sure I’m doing all of the things I’m supposed to. I haven’t had my own cat in my adult life, but two dogs who are 4 and 5.
What are some regular mistakes first time cat owners make? Can I train him? How do I make sure he doesn’t develop bad behaviors?
Thank you for any advice in advance! I just want to make sure he is happy, healthy, and entertained.
Hey so ive picked up an orphan today who's about 5ish weeks old and want to know if I can leave her overnight safely. Dosnt seem to know what wet food is but has enthusiastically taken milk for me. She's spicy so she has to be burritoed for feeding. I got her around 9am this morning and it's currently 6:15pm. She's had about 40ml of formula in that time. It would be more but we thought she was eating solids already, and I've spent most the day trying other things before bringing out the bottle.
She's very traumatised as her whole litter were killed in front of her this morning and her mother was stray (HitByCar). I don't think she's seen a human before so she screeches when you grab her.
I have neighbours beside me and above me so if she can go the night without needing milk I'd really prefer not to wake the whole complex up. It would also give us both a chance to rest after the stress of today.
I will be leaving a dish of formula out for her anyway, just need to know if she can do without a bottle
I examined a dead littermate and all milk teeth are present so she should be weaning soon.
My new kitten Kenji WILL NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT!!!😭😭😭😭😭
I've had kittens before and know that sometimes they're active at night and like to play and that kind of thing, but this is a whole different level of insane!!
EVERY night for the past 2 weeks he's been acting like he's doped up on speed or something! He runs allover the house, climbs the banisters, tries to climb thr door frames, scratches at the walls, and just goes absolutely bananas!!! I've never seen anything like it!
He gets PLENTY of stimulation and interaction during the day, so i have absolutely no idea what's causing him to do this literally every night. I've gotten literally 12 hours of sleep in the past 5 days, and most of that was from taking my chance when he took little naps throughout the day. I dont know what to do or how to correct his sleeping rhythm, but I'm almost at my wits end with being able to put up with this. I love him to death, but he's disturbing the sleep of everyone else in the house human and animal.
IM DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR HELP
I posted a while back of our Simpsons loving little Bean. She still loves watching tv and computer screens. She loves watching my partner's computer screen as he plays World of Warcraft, and tonight she is actively watching The Golden Compass with me.
She's cat #5 for me and the only one who has ever shown much interest in screens that werent playing fish or squirrels or whatnot.
My kitten just gave birth and walked away. I let her have some space for a few minutes then put her baby next to her but she walked away again. The new kitten is crying. I've tried to put them together several times now but Lilybit seems confused. Is there something else that I should do? Should I be the one to clean the new kitten up a little? Right now I just have the new kitten in a good size box with a soft blanket. Momma won't go near it but looks at it. I'm just nervous about the new kitten. Id appreciate any advice.
my 2.5 month old kitten wont eat! he only eats tube and kibble treats but not his actual food! i even tried mixing the two and he just wont :( i already took him to the vet and they said just to monitor him but its really hard to keep my cool when he wont eat at all
FULL DISCLAIMER, she has used the litter box and knows what it is and has access to it 24/7 (it’s in my closet and the door is open even at night) she only pees on my bed and nowhere else, any tips to have her stop? i have washed my bed spread every day this week 😔
She is the best mama stray and I’m so glad that they came into my life. She trusts me and at this point is bringing me the kittens so she can have a break. 18 days old.
