She coughed around 5 times then stopped. I happened twice since I adopted her and each time was short, so I wasn't able to take a video. Yes, will definitely minimize playing when it is hot. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is it normal for a cat to cough after a long time of playing in the hot weather? It happens like twice a year.

Indeed, the summer coat and the winter coat look very different!:)

Thanks for the reply. Do you by any chance have photos of your girl's winter coat and her summer coat?:)

Will a kitten's adult fur end up longer or shorter than his/her baby hair? When will a kitten begin to develop his/her adult fur?

She went to the vet a month ago for the distemper shot, the rabies shot and the spay. We haven't been to the vet recently.

I noticed that my kitten is less hyper than before. She is healthy in every other aspect. She still loves to play; it is just that she sleeps a lot. Could it be because of the gloomy cold weather? I adopted her 5 weeks ago; she was extremely hyper at the beginning. She is estimated to be 18...

Just wondering whether a small amount of debris is normal for kittens, or should I clean my kitten's ears on a daily basis? I haven't cleaned it for a month (since I adopted her)...

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will wipe her daily then; she doesn't like me wiping her though:)

Have you ever found any brown tiny bits on bed? It is softish (just not hard)... I wonder whether it is poop stuck on kitten's anal... She poops normal; it is just that her anal is not completely clean. So I thought those bits might fall off when she plays or sleep on my bed. If it is indeed...

Is it bad to say no rather than hiss to a kitten when it bites or nibbles? My kitten seems to be able to understand a firm "no" from her previous foster or owner. So when she bites I would say no; then she would stop at least for a few seconds. She is a sweet kitten but she takes every movement...

My newly adopted kitten got her first distemper shot at 8 weeks old, and a 2nd at 12 weeks old. The shelter says the next one is one year later, but the vet says 4 weeks later. I wonder whether I should take her to a third one soon?

Thanks for the detailed and helpful answer!

thank you; indeed!:)

Thanks! She is estimated to be 13 weeks. Somehow she always looks more mature in the photos:D
