I feel the the struggle with food. Don't feel guilty about. I know people feel strongly about these things, but if you've found something that works for you, then go with it. I had two elderly cats with chronic renal failure who needed a special diet (we went through an insane amount of food...

In the past, I used a crap ton of plastic ornaments w/ plastic hangers on an artificial tree. I used lights but never a garland. I'd find a handful of ornaments on the floor that the cats managed to knock off. This year, I'm not doing a tree. I have a large lighted snowflake for the picture...

It does sound cruel, but ferals can be challenging, and from the reading I've done, sometimes it's necessary and beneficial for the recalcitrant kitten to have some one-on-one time with it's caregiver. There are those kittens who just won't engage with their caregiver when their litter mates...

I just want say how grateful I am for all of the advice I got on this thread and in the forums here. We are all doing fabulously well. The kittens finally were introduced to the rest of the house, and they get full run during the day. Spenser still likes to eat random crap, tho, so I put them...

This was also a big issue with us. Bengals are very territorial (I will say ours did age out of some of this behavior). The window cling can help (they have designs that still let light in but will obscure the view. I would also recommend leaving the radio on during the day. Bengals are very...

Do you use scented litter? If so, you might want to try unscented. We had some litterbox issues with our female bengal, we think the scent was too strong for her nose.

Just a quick update, they aren't roundworm free yet so we are still keeping them isolated in their own room. The fleas are long gone, thankfully because these little gems are becoming cuddly. I get purrs and greetings from both every time I go up there to see them. They are both happy to be...

Just back to the vet today and they still tested positive for roundworms. Gah! How very frustrating! They did get another dose of Strongid T at least and will get tested again in two more weeks. They also get another round of Revolution next month. But they are thriving, they each have...

I know another person who makes two glasses of water and keeps one on the coffee table for the cat because their cat does the same thing.

I might have to do something different this week. They are just about too big for the crate and the kitten litter box. (they are 10 weeks old)

There are limited ingredient cat food options, just be aware that even fish flavored cat food can have chicken in it, so you will have to read the labels. Our cats stopped having ear issues (itchy with excessive wax) and their energy levels ticked back up.

Itchiness could be allergies. Like humans, cats can develop allergies at any time. We'd been feeding our cats chicken for years before they developed an allergy to it. Again, this is why I strongly encourage you to talk to your vet about the possibility of allergies and whether a change of...

Thanks. I've been letting them run around in the room (on the floor) when I'm in it. I know they have to be getting tired of that crate.

So...the vet doesn't want to test until two weeks after the Revolution was applied which was one week ago. 2 weeks ago they were at the vet and also got treated for fleas and parasites. Poor babies have to stay in quarantine for another week and none of us are happy about it. :disappointed:

Spenser is pretty laid back for a kitten. Gigi is either all stop or all go. I get worn out just watching her play.

We are making good progress!

Thank you! I was afraid I was being too interactive and touchy with Spenser, but these videos really echoed what I was doing. I don't have wonder anymore if I was really screwing up. The other thing I did is that I forced Spenser to start coming to me to play after a couple of days of play...

Update: The boy Spenser purred for me early this morning about 5 a.m.. His sister had been purring and he'd just eaten. I was tired and not really thinking. I was petting him and he seemed pretty friendly. I though I was hearing something and then he purred this big rumbely purr for a few...

I do take my hand away and redirect. And they have a large mouse that they can use as a kick toy. This afternoon their favorite game was Battle Royale - The Sibling Edition. I've gotten a few incidental scratches from them just playing. Like when Gigi jumped on my forearm so that she could...

I just rescued two feral kittens over a week ago, the vet said they are about 8 weeks due to their size. I have them in quarantine because they had fleas and roundworms. They are using the litterbox, they eat out of a saucer because they haven't figured out the kitten kibble yet. The little...
