female cats are usually smaller than males. we have a persian cross and he is a sizable cat (he's 16 pounds, and he is only a little overweight) the feline coronavirus, which causes FIP is very contagious. most cats who have been in a cattery or a multi-cat household with more than 5 cats have...

it may just be personality. our littlest kitten - and the only girl cat in the house - is totally our alpha cat. she bosses all the other cats around something fierce, and is the most vocal cat when they are playing rough and tumble.

so cute i just love orange tabbies

when our guy was being force-fed the vet had me mixing kmr with human baby food or a kitten wet (we used authority kitten food, the petsmart store brand) i was syringe feeding him with a small syringe 3 times a day, i got at least a can's worth of food in him every day. do you wrap him up when...

we had such a horrible experience adopting our two kittens from a shelter - originally we went in thinking the same thing as a lot of you... there is no such thing as a free kitten, and heck at least one who has already been fixed and wormed and had their baby shots will be cheaper in the long...

in all of ours right now it means rub my belly... but our rb kitteh percy (and my rb kitteh marmalade) would do this as a ploy to get our hands down there so they could grab with both paws and force us to play by any means necessary. usually it involved claws! i'm actually surprised we have so...

it doesn't matter if he is never a lapcat or we never pick him up, our real goal is to get him to the point where he can be comfortable in our house, and not be fearful. it would also be great to be able to touch him, in case we need to check his teeth or get him to the vet... that kind of...

thank you thank you for the responses he was around 14-16 weeks when we brought him inside. probably closer to 16. we were feeding them outside for about 6 weeks prior to bringing them in, so he was used to us but he was always the one we couldn't quite pet - unlike his sister who came from...

we have been trying to socialize a feral kitten we brought into our home a little over 4 weeks ago. so far i think we have made a lot of progress. it's slow, but steady. when we first brought him in he freaked out. was climbing the walls for a day. settled down and was extremely skittish. he...

i found that my guy's acne decreased within a week and was gone within about 3 when we switched from plastic bowls to ceramic.

one of ours does that in the process of attempting to groom his people the same way he grooms his feline buddies. when i am snuggling him on my lap he will grab my hand with his paws and bring it down to his face, and while purring he will nibble and lick me. the nibbling can HURT! does it seem...

our rosie is very much our little girl's cat. she is 5, was 4 when we got him - he looooves her, so much. he goes to say hello to her every morning as soon as she gets up, gets loves and snuggles from her. when she sits on the ground her is always right next to her. he lets her put doll clothes...

we fight about cleaning. i like everything to go in a place... i have adhd and i lose things when they don't go in the same spot every single time, and when i can't find things i get really cranky. dh, sweet wonderful man though he is, SUCKS at putting things away in a place. he puts them away...

stephanietx she does sleep all smooshed up against the couch often. she likes to sleep all twisted up more than any other cat i have had she is almost always on her back, belly up somewhere. she loves the belly rubs too! like this... she's healing up nicely from her spay, she was back to her...

i'm so sorry for the loss of your little girl-cat FIP is such a horrible disease. it is so hard to know there is nothing you can do.
