Sounds like a good plan. I will wait about cutting chubby girl's food, though. She is not gaining; her weight has been steady for over a year or so. She gained when the other girl had a litter of kittens and we were feeding them frequently and adding wet food. She took advantage of that and...

I could try that. The "boys" (younger) would probably have less trouble. They generally get fed their wet food/kibble mix 2-3 times daily. I leave some kibble out for them, but they don't eat much of it, I don't think. I think the big cats get most of it. The older cats, the "girls", might have...

I have 4 cats; two of them are 2 yr. old female cats and the other two are 6-7 mos. male kittens, pretty active. All feed well. One female is overweight but not terribly; she weights 11#, the others are all normal weight. I have always free fed. With the adult cats, I left dry food out.However...

Just got Calli back from the clinic She is drunk but otherwise OK. BK didn't act that way with hers.Anyway, the kitties did not act starved and still did not seem eager to take the formula fromt the saucer. They enjoyed what they got on their paws, or around their mouths, or sucking from my...

I understand that they do not need to go w/o nutrition. If necessary, we will hand-feed them, though I don't think that will be required. They are up and around, running and getting into things. Just not interested in nutrition from any source but mommy yet! As I mentioned before, the clinic...

I think going ahead w/the spay is the right thing to do. Don't get me wrong. She has not become terribly aggressive in general. The first time was almost funny. My neighbor has a sweet but large St Bernard/Standard Poodle mix. She brought her to the house a few days before Calli gave birth and...

My 1-yr old cat Calli is scheduled for spay in the morning. The clinic understood that she has 4 wk. old kittens that are not weaned and informed me that her procedure could be done on her side so that she could continue to nurse. However, there is a problem w/her being away from the kittens for...

I think I would be looking for a new vet; one perhaps that was ore animal-centric.

Was wondering what to use for our 4 wk. old kitties. Those look perfect. Let me sign right up.

I understand but she got me pretty good. She scratched my face, and then got my head and arms. The facial scratches were not the worst, and are mainly on the forehead and side so not so prominent. Terrible long scratch on my scalp and more, shorter scratches on my scalp and some on my upper...

Kittens have grown a bit. These photos are the best I can do. I'll try to get better photos of the kitties tomorrow.

Oh, yes. Her getting out was a fluke. She is typically confined indoors w/another spayed female just a couple of months older They are great companions. She got out one day when I failed to close the door all the way behind me. Very rare. And this is the result. She will be spayed as soon as the...
