He's 3 years old and this is the first time this happened. That's why it scared me. I called the vet and he told me to keep an eye on him for today and bring him in tomorrow morning if he doesn't get better. He's eaten a bit of food but is still very calm and sleeping a lot - but at least he's...

I don't know if I should take him to the vet immediately or wait and see. He's been fine last night, ate and behaved normally. This morning he didn't want to eat. I tried giving him some dry food, because he really likes that, but he still refused. Tried it with tuna - nothing. He did eat some...

Thank you for your replies, they do comfort me! She seems to be really ok for now. Marx, my other cat, isn't giving her a hard time either. He just gave her a good lick to wash of the vet odor and left her alone, but I'm going to separate them tonight anyway. I think I'm taking this whole...

Hi guys, I just brought Toffee back from the vet. She got fixed this morning. Vet told me they used some kind of self-dissolving stitches that are placed underneath the skin so I do not need to worry about her nibbling on them. He didn't give me any kind of protection, like a cone or...

But she's not really plump - she's actually more on the skinny side being a siamese and all - her belly just looks very bloated and feels very firm. My other cat is a British Shorthair so trust me, I know what a chubby kitten looks like 😁 And for the pooping part - I'm not actually sure how...

I've noticed a few days ago that my kittens (she's 3mo) belly is quite bloated and firm. She eats a lot (I mean a lot!) so first I thought it might be just a food belly. We took her to the vet when we first got her (two weeks ago), they tested her poop and told us that she doesn't need...

Here's a little update. This was positively one of the best decisions ever. It's been less than a week since we brought her home and the two of them are inseparable!

Here's another update, I think we're doing great! Toffee is way more relaxed around Marx now and no longer hisses at him. They do the cutest thing where they touch noses when walking past one another! And today they started kinda playing together. I'm so happy this worked out even though ai...

One more thing I was wondering about: is it ok if they use each others litter boxes? Marx is, as his name suggests, a socialist so he thinks it's ok to eat her food and use her toilet and he doesn't really mind her using his stuff, but will it be a problem for her? And how would I even make him...

This is them. Poor Marx :sickcat:

In the pictures below you can see Toffee. She's 11 weeks old and completely adorable! I know that most cats develope their true eye color when they are 3 months old, except for some breeds. With Marx, my BSH, it took a bit longer - they never turned orange, but got way darker then they were...

Yesterday we all slept in our master bedroom: Marx on the floor, Toffee (the kitten) at first on the bad, then decided to sleep next to it. No fighting, no crying... It works for now. Today she "attacked" his tail twice: he didn't really react, just looked at her, but she started hissing. I'll...

He really is very chill about the whole thing and isn't showing any signs of distress. He's actually quite playful himself chasing us and everything else that moves, so I guess he'll enjoy having a playmate. I'm just worried about their size difference - she's so tiny compared to him! I haven't...

@rubysmama Marx is 2.5 years and the kitten is 11 weeks old. For now it seems that I got lucky. He is a bit curious about her, follows her around the house sniffing places where she's been. She is no longer hissing at him! She seems to be a bit scared of him approaching her but at least she...

I've actually read that and that was the plan, but it didn't really work out. Turns out that the little one knows how to open doors and that's how she escaped. She howls horribly when left alone in the room so I couldn't bring myself to lock her in and now she's roaming the apartment. She is...

So I brought my new kitten home. She has eaten, used the litter box, is purring and cuddling - she's very comfortable. But she doesn't want to be alone in the little room we prepared for her. She escaped once, met Marx, he didn't react at all, bit she hissed and fluffed up. Now she's howling in...

Well, Royal actually doesn't have that much variety: if you check the ingredients on those different foods, they are all the same (and pretty much the same as in Whiskas), they just market them for different breeds and needs but don't really deliver anything for the price you pay. On top of that...

Royal Canin is basically overpriced Whiskas. Too much grains, to little protein. There's really nothing special about the brand except for it's marketing department. I feed Marx Husse dry food (wich is grain free and high in animal protein) and would like to switch the new kitten to that food...

My cat likes the cardboard one too. He never uses the cat tree, but went through several different cardboard ones. He also has a piece of rough carpet that he uses for scratching.

Thank you for your tips and the articles! I guess we'll use the guest room for her then. And the trick with the blanket (from one of the articles) seems like a great idea too! I just hope she settles in soon. I'll post a lit of pictures as soon as she does! :D
