I’m fascinated by cat genetics. I’ve been keeping tabs on a Mom cat and her litter. The kittens aren’t quite old enough to be separated but when they are, I’m going to be fostering them. Momma cat (who i can’t seem to trap) is a white cat with circular dark blue or gray spots on her. Her...

I got an F5 Savannah kitten named Red. He's 12 weeks old. I love him to pieces but I physically cannot keep up with him, which is saying a lot considering I am a runner. I put a fitness tracker on him and Thursday alone he managed to rack up 5.8 miles just running around my condo. Not a big...

12 week old kitty. I have non clumping pine litter for him but i use world’s best cat litter for my other cats which is corn-based. Most of the health hazards regarding kittens and clumping litter‘s have to do with chemicals in clay litter. So would a non-clay litter like worlds best be OK?

I know it's rare but I absolutely love stories where the father cat of one or multiple kittens in the litter sticks around or comes back when the mom is in labor. And teaches the kittens the ropes. I know it happens because I've heard stories.

I love the beanie babies as a kid, and now they are cheap, I’ve been collecting them. Just as cute little stuffed animals to put on my bed. But there are so many! It takes forever to look through them. So what are your favorite cat beanie babies? Or just beanie babies in general?

Things are going well! Have 4 kitties. 2 fosters, 1 of which was already adopted but not picked up yet. I had to take tuxie to his first vet appointment today. Trying to get him in the carrier was horrible. He kept getting away so i had to manhandle him to get him inside. And the look he was...

Bruce and Mandy, two of my foster kitties, hate each other. Mandy wants everyone to leave her alone and Bruce is very dominant. He likes to push her buttons. She will growl, he will growl, then one of them smacks the other. This just happened. Any advice or is it just a personality thing...

Man I wish I had extra arms! Because I’d really like to type and put my kitties at the same time and it always ends up being where I’m awkwardly trying to use the mouse with my left hand or type or reaching across my body to pet or type. I think I’m going to start using voice dictation...

My newest Foster and probably Foster fail, Arthur, is such a sweet cat. He's 11 and had to have both eyes removed, but he doesn’t let that get him down. He absolutely loves to cuddle. The only thing is that his first kind of oily and he’s a little stinky because he still recovering from surgery...

I've noticed from my shelter experience that certain appearances of cats often correspond to personality traits. Not purebred purrsay, but like coat colors or body types. What I've noticed from the shelter: -Black male cats - ALWAYS very affectionate and playful -Siamese looking cats & Snowshoe...

Tuxie is my heart & soul But he cuddles with me the least. He doesn’t really like to be petted. He allows it but only certain times of the day. Like at bedtime or in the early morning when I get up to use the bathroom. He’s kind of a scaredy kitty, he gets startled so easily. And if I approach...

I noticed that Tuxie, Oscar, and my foster Mandy are social pee and poopers. If I’m in the bathroom doing my business, chances are one of them will come in and use the litter box. Like they’re thinking “oh ok. I had to take a dump too.” I refer to this as social pooping (even though it can be...

And I’m worried about him and if he will forgive me. I trimmed Tuxie’s claws for the first time an hour ago. To say it was hard would be an understatement. I wrapped him in a towel and had to squeeze tight to keep him from squirming out. But i was able to trim his front paws. I need to...

Looking at the UC Davis one Cat DNA Tests | feline DNA testing | UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory Now I know my kitties are 100% domestic shorthairs but I'm curious how much detail the tests give, like if they'll break down the half a dozen breeds that were mixed together to make my...

At least once a week, I want to have a meal that I can eat WITH my cats. Usually on Friday or Saturday nights because it's the weekend. There are lots of foods that are cat toxic but others that fall into the "not good for every meal but every so often is ok" category. I'm okay with the latter...

I'm at work and I saw this on the IP cam. They are sleeping together on my bed :) It used to only be Tuxie but with my encouragement, Oscar has started sleeping on it too. Last night, Oscar slept on the bed with me and Tuxie for the first time. They were at the foot of the bed, but during the...

I setup 4 Nest cameras around my apartment to catch videos of Tuxie, Oscar, and any foster kitties I might have. Right now I have 1 foster kitty in the spare bedroom. Videos are posted on my YouTube channel. Tuxie and Oscar

When Tuxie gives me looks like these,I just feel so loved.

I know Bombays are (Burmese + American Shorthair black cats) but look just like a black burmese cat. How similar are the personalities of the Bombay breed compared to the Burmese? I adopted 2 rescue kitties, am fostering 1 more, and for my 4th and final cat, I wanted to get a purebred. And it...
