    Kitten's meow is hoarse

    It's been two weeks now nothing has changed. I wouldn't even be so impatient and frustrated if he didn't have a cold right now and NEED this antiobiotics squirted into the roof of his mouth DAILY for 6 days. He just runs everytime I try to approach him. I haven't even been bothering him when...

    Kitten's meow is hoarse

    I probably should add in that, when I went to buy Theo, I didn't actually get to see him in his "normal environment". I didn't get to see the parents and the kittens were all put in carrier cages, like 3 of them in one cage. The lady said she did so because there were kids at her house earlier...

    Kitten's meow is hoarse

    Yes I love Theo a lot. I don't have any siblings, I've never done any chores my whole life but for Theo I've done all of them, he's everything to me. I've been watching some of Jackson Galaxy's shows,including how to say "I love you" to your cat, where to put the scratching post, litter box...

    Kitten's meow is hoarse

    Hi again Denice!! I didn't buy him from a "breeder", I got him from this lady who had two ragdolls and they had a litter, so she was selling them off if that makes sense. She reared the kittens inside the house and she had no problem handling them, but for some reason whenever I try to pet him...

    How to switch from canned tuna to other flavours?

    Ok thanks! It's canned tuna for cats only. I'll try out some chicken flavour tonight and mix a little tuna into it like you suggested.    Ok Thanks! It was canned tuna made for cats only. I did what you said and mixed a little tuna into canned chicken (for cats of course) and he's been eating...

    Kitten's meow is hoarse

    I got a ragdoll kitten 6 days ago (he's 3 months old), he's been meowing a lot  these past few days then today his meow sounds really hoarse. His meow this morning was perfectly clear and normal then when I got home it was hoarse. It doesn't sound cracked or broken or like duck quacking...

    How to switch from canned tuna to other flavours?

    Hi all! I just got a kitten about 5 days ago, (he's 3 months old now) ofc he wasn't eating on the first day and I got really worried so I fed him canned tuna and that made him go crazy and started up his appetite. I've been feeding him that for the past 5 days but I read that canned tuna can...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    :O I believe you! Last night was the first night I got a full sleep because he stopped trying to escape out the doors and meow all night (I mean he still did meow but like 70% less than previously). I managed to get him to come to me today by calling his name but when I offered my hand he backed...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    Ok I feel a lot better now! I'll switch the litter as soon as I can. He's been sleeping on my bed today for quite a few hours instead of under it, which is HUGE progress! I can even lure him out with the wand toy, but he still won't eat treats from my hand. Any advice on how and when to try and...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    Thanks so much for the link! I tried using the wand toy on him last night and he LOVED it!  I just heard it was the least odourless litter and you only dump it out when the litter goes yellow so I decided to try it out. I'm so confused now, so with normal clumping litter the urine forms clumps...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    Yay!! He just started eating in front of me  Thanks so much for helping me I'm actually making progress! I just have another quick question, I'm using crystal litter and I know you're supposed to scoop the poop out but what do I do if he pees? Do I just leave it in there? I attempted removing...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    I'm feeding him both, the tuna actually made him come out of his hiding place and he walked around the room while I was watching, and then he hopped on my bed and sniffed me! It's definitely getting better, he's eating all the tuna that I gave him in small portions like you said so. I'll...

Thanks so much for the advice!!  However, I put the new and old food into the bowl and he only ate the new food :o should I just keep feeding...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    Hopefully! It's one hour away from being 24 hours, I believe he's pretty healthy, he has been dewormed and vaccinated before he was given to me. Hopefully it doesn't come to the syringe feeding >_< Thanks for the info!  Ok, I put the food bowls under the bed as far as I can reach, I'll go out...

    New kitten won't eat at all

    Yeah I confined it to my bedroom and I have the food and water bowls, litter, toys, bed, everything inside. I'll start playing some soft classical music and see if it helps. What do I do if it still doesn't eat after the 3rd day? :(
