I can't. As mentioned, Cadbury can only eat 1/3 of a teaspoon or will vomit it all up. And for most of the time that Cadbury would vomit she had access to food 24/7 and therefore wasn't going anywhere near 18 hours without eating

Cadbury's vomiting has nothing to do with starving. Until apx a month ago she had access to food 24/7 so never let herself starve. And when given almost any amount of wet food (now or then) she eats so fast she throws it up. I can give her 1/3 of a teaspoon and that's it. If I meal fed her wet...

Thanks for the article. Most of the bowls shown are not for slowing down eating and the 2 that are are puzzle feeders which Cadbury can't seem to grasp

Allegra turned a year in November - she is naturally thin, not a foodie in any way. Cadbury turns a year this month, huge glutton, started getting tubby at 6 months. Until recently they free fed good quality kitten food (3 bowls around apt) and got wet food twice a day when I had foster kittens...

Is she food motivated? IF so my vet recommended I challenge her with food to stimulate her. I bought one of those things where she had to scoop out the food to eat it and I'd give a few pieces and then I'd go and hide the rest somewhere in my apartment. She loved hunting for it! I also sometimes...

Kittens and cats sometimes jump on countertops and sinks - some do it a lot - it''s just part of their nature. Some can be trained out of it some can't. One of mine has started to sleep beside my toaster and there doesn't seem to be much I can do as she is incredibly mischievous!

I think your cat had a very bad interaction in their previous home and your daughter is triggering her, just by existing. If she is attacking unprovoked and hurting a human - a baby no less - I would not have her living in the same home as a child. If that scratch had been a bit different your...

I think someone above stated it best. Yelling, shooing, redirecting etc likely is less appreciated by your cats than being put in a safe room. What is it about being separate from you that makes you feel bad? Sometimes you have to do something that makes you uncomfortable if it's for their...

It's also possible that her previous owners didn't feed her regularly and let her fend for herself a lot. Ripping into and eating human food may have been the only way she got food. And really, if they were the type of people to just leave her they were not likely taking care of her needs...

Allegra needed a permanent kitten friend and today I officially adopted Cadbury Cream Egg! I struggled which of the foster kittens to pick and in the end I picked Cadbury as she seemed the most compatible with Allegra. As time went by I am glad I picked her as they have been developing a bond...

She's still a kitten herself - almost 4.5 months old. She was the smallest of the litter and eats less than these 2 month old kittens. She is scrawny but growing long. I think she will end up being a medium size cat?

The results are already happening here. Local cat rescues reported higher numbers of abandoned cats/kittens/ferrals rescued in 2020 than any other year. I think everyone wanted cats/kittens in the beginning of covid but couldn't afford to spay/feed them and started to abandon them throughout the...

I too feel Cadbury is the better fit. I'm so relieved that all three responses agree! Laurie - Where I live in Ontario cats and esp kittens are so scarce with covid that any and all kittens will have multiple applications within hours regardless of personality, thankfully.

I KNOW I am overthinking this, but want to pick the kitten best suited to my kitten. I have a litter of three foster kittens that are about 2 months old, one seems a smidge older and likely from another litter. They are getting fixed on Monday so I have until then to pick which one to adopt as...

I lot of feral rescue groups advocate that feral kittens need to be socailized by 4-5 months or it's too late. OP is that what you refer to when you state she is past spcialization age? If so you don't need to worry. By getting her into foster care she has already been socialized to humans and...
