So I’ve read a lot of posts about kitten butts smelling like poop - I lived that nightmare for about 3 weeks while my kittens overcame their diarrhea. I used to clean their butts at least once a day because they would have bits of diarrhea stuck to their bums and it would reek. Once they...

Having finally conquered the kittens’ many ills we are now facing unrest in the household. Cookie, my 10yo female has always been a precious little thing - I suspect she suffers from slight touch-sensitivity and also general moodiness, so sometimes she will suddenly nip or swat at our hands when...

I've heard fellow forumites say they managed to get their cats to stop begging/meowing for food at feeding time. How did you do it?! My problem extends much farther than scheduled mealtimes - my cat is always meowing for food. No need to read the details unless you want to (below). Here she...

This post is really just because when it happened, I looked for information online and was horrified by the results I got (hyphema, FIP) and I couldn’t find any posts on this site or others about what it means when you see a tiny bit of blood in your kitty’s eye. Terrence was scratched in the...

I knew when I got kittens that they would need to go to the vet often and I’d be paying a lot for shots/worming/neutering and I was ready. What I didn’t expect was the price just seeing the vet to be so high. I’ve had cats my whole life and I am no stranger to taking them to the vet. I’ve had...

I recently adopted two kittens when they were just 7 weeks old. The have become very attached to me, and both will start looking for places to suckle if they snuggle into my hair. It's endearing at first, but one of them, Terrence, insists on suckling my skin every time I hold him now. He always...

I've spent a lot of time reading about cat food, and having just welcomed two kittens who probably got a less-than-ideal start to life I want to get this right. Is it really a hard and fast rule that an all-wet diet is better than a 50/50 or mostly wet with some dry food mixed in? I want to try...

Hello all, I adopted two kittens about two weeks ago. They were slightly under 7 weeks and slightly over a pound when we got them - a little young to be away from mom and a little small for their age. The girl who fostered and bottle-fed them didn't give us very much information when we picked...

Hello! After two weeks of spending countless hours on cat forums, I decided to finally join one. My husband and I just adopted two little kittens from a young woman who was fostering them. The short story and some pictures are up top, long story below if you care to read it. I've had cats my...
