    hi all, I would appreciate any advice on toys I should get to make my kitten more active while playing hunting. ( playing tricks also welcome) background: She's almost 6 months now and has been living with me for about 3 months. She's a single pet (but please don't tell me to get a second...

    Attention seeking kitten

    Hi, I have the same issue with my now 5-month-old kitten. She's the only pet, and currently, I'm torn between asking my landlord to permit me to get another cat and just waiting it out until she grows older. I work from home so I'm with her almost all day long and play with her at least 3, or 4...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Thank you so much for your reply! Every sentence gave me so much hope and encouragement. I'm taking everyone's advice and trying to calm my anxiety. I think the problem has been not Her but Me. I think she's attached to me, though she doesn't show it. I will try my best to survive this...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Thank you so much for your advice! I have never been good at forming a routine, but I will definitely try to set up some kind of routine with her. I think I will go out to a coffee shop to work because my tiny home office was her safe room when she first came to live with me and has become her...

    Thank you so much! It's great to hear that your Neco-chan grew up to be a sweet adult cat! I will try to calm down and trust that she'll turn out fine as long as I provide her with love and safe home:)

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Thank you so much! "99% of what you worry about DOES NOT COME TRUE!" I should keep telling myself this! I think getting her a small table of her own is a great idea. I'll probably get her a ceiling-to-floor cat tower later(not for a while, I spent way too much money already:bawling:) so she can...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. Being a freelancer, I am pretty bad at forming a routine, but I think you are so right that raising a kitten needs a routine. I've decided to have 3 play times a day, 20~30 minutes at a time, and leave her to find a way to entertain herself when I...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Thank you for your reply. I've decided to focus on the fact that I'm providing her with a good home and trust that she will turn out fine as long as I play with her regularly and keep her safe and healthy. I still have inner debates about returning her especially when she's being difficult, but...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Thank you for your reply. How much time did you spend playing with Juno on a daily basis? Did Juno do well in terms of playing alone and learning disciplines? What was she like in her teenage years? I guess I'm worrying a lot because my kitten seems so unhappy(at least to me). I try to play with...

    YOU ARE SO KIND:redheartpump: Whenever I feel anxious about her, I will take a deep breath and remember what you said. Hopefully, I will be able to share my "success" story with you and other cat parents in a few months! Thanks again.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience.(and for the hugs!) It gives me immense comfort to know that you can raise a happy single cat. It's also comforting that someone understands what I'm going through. I know it won't be easy but I will try to leave the house...

    can a single kitten be happy? and is a cat's teenage phase worse(more demanding) than kittenhood?

    Hi all, I adopted a 3-month-old kitten about a month ago(now she's a four-month) and am constantly worrying about her developing a single kitten syndrome. I've been wanting to adopt a cat for a long time and even moved out of my perfectly decent apartment to a new place because the place had no...

    advantage ii for kittens. is it normal for her fur to look wet? and when would symptoms appear if she had licked some by accident?

    She's doing great! thank you for checking! I guess I got worried over nothing, but I can't help it:nervous: She's my first pet, and none of my friends have cats, so I'll probably be asking a lot of questions here. lol. Thanks again!
