Hello,
I just brought home a 9 week kitten. Keeping her in a small tent away from my other older kitten. She has water, and litter and a bed. I also put several different kinds of food in there for her. I put wet chicken kitten food, dry cat food, and wet tuna/chicken cat toppings, and it's...
Have a large 8 pound 6 month old kitten. He is an on and off cat. He purrs like crazy when he sits or sleeps with me. But other then that, he just sits around and is really photogenic.
However I do sometimes pick him up, and he mostly goes still, not like when you scruff a cat, but similar...
Okay thanks. I know one of the cats that was being fed got "picked" up by a person. She said that the cat was definitely a stray since he was very friendly and adjusted to a domestic life pretty quick.
My one friend has being feeding 2-4 feral cats outside for a month. It's gotten to the point these two raccoons and a possum will come by to eat as well. I warned her not to do this, but she insists.
Now she has to move and is curious what will happen to them now that she can't feed them. She...
I frequently hear when people suggest getting an adult cat instead of a kitten, because their personalities are fully developed, but what age is that usually?
I know cats for the most part stop growing at 1 year of age, and slowly stop completely around 2. But what about personality and calmness?
Uh I'm sticking to the raw and wet food combo for now. Honestly she is still only eating when I'm spoon feeding her, and if I leave some on a small plate she won't touch.
Not much luck with dry. She's 7 weeks one day now, should I try? How exactly did you crush, and how small?
Yeah going with this one.
45 x 45 x 20 inches
Good bit bigger and should be fine. My biggest worry now is how the other cats will treat her while she's in the pen, and how scared she'll be essentially trapped I suppose.
Ehh the male one is more interested, the two females hissed and then lost interest. The male one I guess may be a bit more aggressive and biting with the other two females though, although he is only 5 months old himself.
What dimensions would you say are fine for a pen of a kitten that size...
So I'm actually thinking of moving her out of my bathroom and into a pen like the one below.
If I order now I can get it tomorrow. I can move have it moved to somewhere much quieter so she isn't disturbed by all the noise from the bathroom and it'll be easier to watch her.
Bad thing of...
So she may have peed on the floor today. When I went back during lunch I noticed liquid on the floor. Her toy squirrel was in the water bowl which may have caused a bit of a splash, but I did think I noticed a new smell. Not 100% sure though. That and her litter box is completely clean since 8...
So not so great news.
The kitten hasn't pooped in two days again. Added olive oil to her dinner and breakfast today. Hoping that'll fix it.
Also her weight has being hovering around 610 grams for the last two days, with no real weight gain since Monday.
She also seems to only want to eat when...
Well the thing is I haven't given her any oil at all today! She didn't get any for breakfast or lunch. I tried giving a bit more raw food into her mix for lunch, but it didn't seem to make it any more enticing for her.
Her weight gain is okay I think? I know she was the runt of the 9 litter...
Yeah I'll see, she pooped again this morning, and a lot more this time. Although now I'm starting to once again struggling to get her to eat. She'll take a few bites but then stop. In the morning I didn't have much time to persuade her so I just left the food in a plastic bowl lid, when I got...
