The lady at the shelter that I adopted them from suggested the same. She told me to keep them on what they are eating now for at least 2 weeks, and it's coming up on 2 weeks. We'll see the vet in a couple days and I'll ask her for recommendations, then I'll slowly make the switch, since their...
I recently adopted two kittens, they're my first indoor cats too! (We had outdoor cats where I grew up, but I'm strictly indoor-only unless they're harnessed and leashed.)
Mine are 3 months. The house must be cat proofed. I just purchased protectors for our electric cords- they are trained not...
I love the harness idea. Does she allow you to hold her? I'm thinking you could pick her up with the harness on, carry her to the car and coax her into the back seat with a positive reinforcer, like a treat. (Maybe not a toy, though, since you'll be driving!)
Thank you! I am researching nutrition, so I can make sure I give them good quality food! I prefer wet food myself, I love how much they like it, and I even like the smell, even though that's probably weird. 😂
Absolutely, thank you very much! I refer to him as my "fat squirrel", but he is in reality just a solid kitten. I'm looking forward to seeing the vet to learn more.
Thank you so much for all the details! I do free feed dry food, and they eat a can of pate each total per day, but there have been a couple days where I've given them extra. They have some very active days, and some lazy days.
So no "chow", and I have one skinny baby and one solid baby...
Oh, I forgot to add- my other baby Walter dreams so differently than Finley does, it never occurred to me he could be dreaming! Walter twitches, his third eyelid shows a little, and his mouth makes slight suckling motions in his sleep, it's adorable. They're both so different. I think Finley's a...
That's good to hear. Even at his regular rate of 40 ish, he's still on the high end, but it did slow back down at least. I can always see him breathing when I look at his sides. He isn't a huge kitten, but he's solid. He was 3.7 lbs at 2 months and 3 weeks. He's a little bit ahead of where he...
I adopted my 2 three month old boys on the 11th of this month. The shelter I got them from told me to keep their diet consistent. They were eating Friskies pate and Purina kitten chow at the shelter, and I was instructed to feed them the same at home, especially for little Walter who has a...
I'm new and I don't know how to edit, but I meant to post this too: I didn't like Feliway. My cat's didn't really need it, they got used to the home and each other with scent introductions, my research and doing it "correctly", etc, but I was worried about them fighting while I wasn't home so I...
My 3 month old male kitten Finley has a high rate of breaths per minute while he sleeps. I first noticed it on Saturday. I had Feliway plugged in for the second time (I had it in a couple days before that, but unplugged it) when I counted him at 54 breaths per minute, way over the 20-30 the...
