    9 Month Old Kitten Legthargic

    I will be calling the vet, but it’s close to midnight where I live and I just needed some extra reassurance until in the morning. Thanks for the help.

    9 Month Old Kitten Legthargic

    I am in the process of switching my 9 month old kitten over to adult food (vet recommendations). I’ve gotten him the same brand (Purina One), just in an adult version. I started this last week, putting him a scoop of new food and a scoop of old and mixed them. I noticed he was throwing up...

    Cat And Lotion

    I actually did that right after I posted this. Just completely wiped him down with a wet wash rag. I usually don’t touch him either, honestly. I had washed my hands prior to him getting in my lap and it didn’t even occur to me about it rubbing off on him from my arms. He seems fine though...

    Cat And Lotion

    I put Bath and Body works sleep lotion on my hands and arms and about 10 minutes after my cat wanted me to pick him up and hold him. He stayed in my lap about 5 minutes and then got down. Now he’s obsessively licking himself. My question is, is the lotion that was on my arms going to hurt...

    My Cat Won’t Eat While I’m Not Home And I’m Going Out Of Town Next Month.

    I am out of the house for work for 8 hours. Usually between 1-9 pm every day. He knows how to open doors with levers though, and that is what we have in our apartment. My roommate says when she gets home at 5, that he will sometimes open doors that are closed and he “looks” for me and will...

    My Cat Won’t Eat While I’m Not Home And I’m Going Out Of Town Next Month.

    Thank you for all of the advice! She fed him Friday evening and yesterday as well, and he seems to be responding to it pretty well. I’ve been home both of those times, so I’ll have to see how he does when I’m not (we’re going to try that tomorrow), but I’m hopeful. Thank you again!

    My Cat Won’t Eat While I’m Not Home And I’m Going Out Of Town Next Month.

    Title explains most of it. I found out from my roommate today that my kitten (8 months old) has separation anxiety and that he won’t eat or drink water while I’m at work. I wasn’t aware this was even a problem until today, and I’ve had him for close to 6 months now. I’m not sure why she...

    My Kittens Teeth

    His tooth actually fell out last night! I’m keeping vet appointment Tuesday just so I can discuss options about his one remaining tooth and make sure everything looks alright in his mouth, but this was a big relief!

    My Kittens Teeth

    He has been wormed twice, and he’s good to go! He has already had all three rounds of vaccines, plus his rabies and he’s been neutered. He weighs 8 lbs now, and the vet things he will weigh about 17 when fully grown! He’s going to be a big boy lol I am about to head into work but tomorrow...

    My Kittens Teeth

    I actually spoke to the vet this morning and showed them the picture and he has an appointment Tuesday morning to have the two baby teeth removed. This is apparently from over crowding in his mouth and should clear up once he has more space. Thank you so much for your help!!

    I managed to get two better pictures.

    My Kittens Teeth

    I thought that too, but it seems like it came out of nowhere. It looked totally normal yesterday and the day before, and then looks like that tonight. It’s only on that one tooth and it’s definitely his baby tooth, so it should fall out in the next few weeks I’m hoping. All of the adult teeth he...

    My Kittens Teeth

    my kitten Jack is going on 6 months old (February 8th is his half year birthday!). I know literally nothing about cats, and I especially know nothing about kittens. He is the first one I have and the only pet I have had since living on my own, so it’s a huge, brand new responsibility for me...

    Is My Kitten Entering The Teenage Phase?

    He has been. I had it done December 1st.

    Is My Kitten Entering The Teenage Phase?

    I have been giving him his own space. When he wants to sleep under the bed, or take a nap on the other side of the couch, I let him. I don’t like affection forced upon myself, I feel like he’s most likely the same way. Thank you though, that makes me feel better.
