How many litter boxes do you have for your four cats?

They get SO attached!!

Suki

Yeah, I was hoping the kitten would be good for Suki. I'm not sure if Suki has ever had kittens (the shelter vet estimated her age at 3 and she was spayed at the shelter), but when I was trying to find videos for cats for her to watch, there was a video with kittens crying and she perked up and...

The more information the better! Just from having spent a lot of time in shelters socializing cats, I know that what people say about the cats they are surrendering isn't always the case. They may say a cat is vicious and it is the sweetest thing or that a cat is very people friendly and it's...

Congratulations on your new kitty! I always think it's important to understand why cats do some of the things they do. All cats scratch, some more than others. My daughter has a rescue that was declawed by her previous owner and her cat goes through the motions of scratching even though she has...

Do you know anything about Luci's history before she came to you?

Thanks. I don't let her explore without keeping an eye on her. Plus, it's fun to watch her. I have non-clumping clay litter for her, but do want to use the pine pellets eventually.

I recently moved in with my mother. She is elderly and recently had a bout with breast cancer. It was caught early, but still it took so much out of her. My mom has ONE ethernet jack in the whole house and her router has one port. So, I had to have another ethernet jack installed for the...

It's been on my mind that my little feral kitten has siblings. No, I can't take them in, but every time I look at her I think about her siblings. If there is one, there has to be more. I see adult cats pass through my backyard all time. Obviously, they are breeding more and more unwanted...

I took the kitten to the no-kill shelter where I adopted my other cat and had a vet tech check her out. She is healthy! She is a girl. (My kitten sexing skills suck.) She's also close to 6 weeks. They too said she should pass the nipple and to check her poop. The vet tech said she's had that...

I got him a baby bottle and he promptly chewed off the nipple! Freak out on my part, but I read this is a common occurance and to watch him as he should pass the nipple. Ugh! I mixed the kitten formula with canned kitten food and fed him with a spoon. He ate off the spoon. Now, I'm worried...

Thank you for the information. Right now, I have him in a cardboard box with several towels. I have him in the office because there is a gate to keep out my mom's chihuahua. He's just too curious about the kitten and I want to do proper introductions when the kitten is bigger. Also, the office...
