    Occasional Accidents (that Are Totally On Purpose)?

    Both of my kittens (4.5mo) know they're supposed to go in the litter boxes. Bowie exclusively uses the litter box to do his business. Nox goes in the litter box 95% of the time.

    Both Kittens Randomly Started Wheezing?

    I have two 4 month old kittens with no known health issues. This morning, thing one (Bowie) wheezed with a closed mouth for about thirty seconds and didn't seem bothered at all - he ate food and played with his water before, during, and after the fit.

However, as much as they like the toys dangling off the end....Bowie and Nox are OBSESSED with playing with the stick end. I’ll...

    Kitten Stopped Playing With Brother

    Hi all, My two black kittens are 11 weeks old, and i’ve had them for two weeks. Bowie and Nox are happy, healthy, and affectionate guys, but for the past two days Bowie hasn’t been interested in interacting with his brother much if at all. Before that, they’d chase each other, play, wrestle...

    Hi all! My two boys are about 10 weeks old now – I’ve had them for a full week. One of my boys (Bowie, the smaller of the two) has picked up a habit of sniffing the kitchen floor and picking up crumbs as if he’s never eaten before in his life. He will go in the kitchen and meow/cry for wet food...
