We do a combo wet food twice a day and free feed measured dry. Best dry I've found so far is the Taste of the Wild Venison. Every other food has given my one boy diarrhea. He came to us on Performatrin Kitten, we had free coupons for Hills Veterinary Kitten Formula, went through 2 bags of...

How is she acting otherwise? Is she eating and drinking? Using the litterbox? Is she lethargic? A trip to the vet can never hurt.

Oh she's found something fun! Kittens can be holy terrors, especially at her age. She will grow out of it. Since the other techniques aren't working try rewarding her with a treat when she doesn't attack. I know it seems impossible because it feels like she's always attacking, but there must...

Firstly, you're looking at this wrong. What the cat is doing isn't "very bad", it's instinct. S/he feels threatened and scared. You've brought a strange animal into their territory. Have you tried rewarding good behaviour instead of punishing bad behaviour? Was there food involved during...

My Oscar was weighed at the vet a couple weeks ago. At 12 weeks old he was 4.2lbs, my 19 week old Copper was almost 8lbs. My vet was pleased with both their weights. Kittens grow fast! Worry not, you're raising healthy kittens.

Can you pinpoint when she does it? Is it a certain time of day? Is it always the same location? Is it just one litterbox she's possibly avoiding at some point? I'm just wondering if there is something keeping her away from a litterbox at a specific time. A noise or something?

:) Thanks for asking. He just finally today is back to his normal crazy self. Every day was a little better. I slowly got him into the "scary area" by throwing treats and playing closer and closer with his favourite toy and holding him snug in my arms and walking through the space. He spent...

Neither of my kittens want to be picked up while they're playing. Playing is serious business! My 14 week old only now started letting me pick him up when I wanted to. Can you block the stairs off instead of crating her?

Thanks. I did check him over, my first thought was maybe he chewed an electrical wire and shocked himself. But there's no evidence of that or any other injury/trauma thank goodness. I think I just needed to hear that he won't be scared forever. I feel so bad for him and wish he could talk to...

My 5 month old kitten had a major behaviour change today. He was fine this morning before I went to work, his normal rambunctious crazy self. When I got home... totally different cat. He's slinking around the house, looking around corners and under things like something is going to attack...

You'll be surprised how quickly her leg heals. Kittens have amazing healing powers when they're well taken care of. But need to keep that fever down. The novacam should help with that. My Oscar compressed all the little bones in his wrist at Amara's age, he had a cast on for 5 days and was...

My 12 week old kitten is just figuring out how to clean himself properly. At 4 weeks old he had no clue. At 4 weeks he wasn't even pooing without stimulation let alone using the litter. Your kitten is too young to be away from his mother and siblings, so you'll have to take their place...

Downstairs my kitten suckles on the microfiber cloth I used to use when I bottle fed him. When he comes to bed with me I have a stuffed animal to re-direct him to. It seems to work well for the most part. My other kitten loves to knead me. I keep their nails trimmed so it doesn't hurt...

Have you tried dried liver or chicken treats? My kittens don't like treats but they go nuts over the dried liver.

I introduced my kittens to each other fairly quickly, about 24 hours. When they're this young their hormones aren't raging so there's not much territorial stuff going on. What I did was praise the older kitten (the one that showed some aggression) with a treat every time he behaved in an...

The favourite game in my house is me running around with a shoe lace behind my back and being chased by kittens... Bruce is smart. So he may need puzzles and problems to solve. Try hiding treats around the house so he can hunt them. There are food puzzlers out there that make cats figure...

I have 2 kittens, 12 and 19 weeks old. Assuming my kittens are normal I'd say yours sounds perfectly normal as well. lol My Copper makes this awful yowl that used to concern me, but it's because he's stalking moths, or flies or imaginary birds. We were at the vet on Friday and these two...

Thanks! He eats the pumpkin just fine I just wasn't sure how much to give. I was giving way too much. lol

My vet wants me to add fiber to my kitten's food. I've decided to use pumpkin mixed in with his soft food. My other kitten will get it as well since I prep their food at the same time. My question is, how much pumpkin should I add a day? My kittens are 18 and 11 weeks old, 6.8 lbs and 4.2...

Wow.. $95 for a fecal test is a lot! My vet is on the expensive side, (I choose them for many reasons over the less expensive vets in my area), I just had a fecal test done for giardia and parasites and it cost me less than $30 Canadian. I wish I had some insight. I would suggest pumpkin for...
