    Kitten maturity levels

    I have 4 kittens, 6 weeks old, all from the same litter; 3 female and one male. I've been trying to get them weaned since they were three weeks but they had no interest. The male was the first to sniff and eventually eat the veal baby food we offered them, and soon, one of the females followed...

    Pregnant?

    We recently took a female stray into our home. She appears to be about a year old. For the first week she was very sweet - always purring, rubbing against our legs, sleeping on our laps, etc. But lately she's been acting strange. Her belly has gotten rounder and she's ALWAYS eating - and when...
