    Transitioning to adult food - suggestions?

    Hi everyone! Hoping for a bit of advice…we have 3 awesome kittens who are getting closer to being cats, and we’ll soon be transitioning them to adult cat food. The tricky part is 2 of our kitties are Maine Coons, while the 3rd is a domestic shorthair, so we’re wondering if there are any good...

    Cat very loose stools - why? Not parasites, not food change And the stools smell bad!

    Could be Tritrichomonas foetus — apparently up to 30% of cats have it but it often goes undetected and is sub-clinical, but can wax and wane quite a bit and linger for years. Symptoms include diarrhea and a very smelly stool, but otherwise doesn’t have much impact on underlying health...

    Introducing older cat to 2 resident kittens

It being just hard to predict and better to just go with the kitten we fall in love with is helpful, and sounds...

    Introducing 3rd kitten to a bonded pair

    Thanks so much for your very helpful replies! Sounds like things can be/should be a lot smoother with kittens but we’ll definitely be mindful about starting off in a safe room, doing some scent exchange, and hopefully all happens really quickly but will definitely ease them into things. One...

    Introducing 3rd kitten to a bonded pair

    Hi all, long time cat lover, first time poster :) Long story short, several weeks ago we adopted a pair of lovely Maine coon kittens who are now about 5 months old. We had been on a couple of waitlists with breeders and weren’t expecting it to happen, but someone ahead of us backed out and we...
