    Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing?

    I do hope so. Only because we did rescue him at 6 weeks so I don’t think he always knows his strength when he bites her. He bites me pretty hard sometime. He’s gotten better at it but he’s still not good.

    Is He Playing Too Rough?

    I think I’m having a similar issue. Here’s my posting: Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing? Did you keep them separate for most of the day or did you only separate them if things got too rough? Mine have been attacking each other 95% of the tome they are...

    Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing?

    We got nervous the first time which is why we stopped it shortly after. We let them out together again today and the same thing happened. They started going at it again almost right away. This time Albus layed about 5 feet away for about 2 minutes at some point while Trixie was playing with my...

    Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing?

    That was 1 of the articles I read before bringing her in. I’ve just been a little nervous that things might take a turn and that maybe what happened this morning meant we need to slow down the process. I’ve been letting them play with their paws through the door a few times the rest of today and...

    Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing?

    Oh, also. We fed them “lunch” again after about 5 hours after the 2 videos and they were perfectly comfortable with each other on opposite sides of the door.

    Kitten Introduction: Are They Fighting, Establishing Dominance, Or Playing?

    passwordHey everyone! We introduced our resident kitten and new kitten this morning and don’t know if they were fighting, playing, establishing dominance, or something else. Here’s what we did before we introduced them. We’ve had our kitten Albus since he was 6 weeks old. He is now 5 months...

    Kitten Biting A Lot Before Falling Asleep!?

    Oh, also, the biting gets a little worse when it seems like he’s fighting off falling asleep. Like, he’ll bite, bite, bite, then fight off sleep for like a minute and then get back at it again.

    Kitten Biting A Lot Before Falling Asleep!?

    Hey everyone, so my kitten is very loving but is also a bit of a biter. He’s almost 5 months old and he's improved so much since with his biting. It used to be that as soon as my hands were around his face he would bite but now he has his moments. I’ve noticed that he tends to bite a lot and...

    So Kittens Eat More Than Adult Cats?

    Awesome, thanks for the info. Our kitten is 4.5 months old and eats how much the labels say. We have him half on wet food and half on dry food. 3 feedings of dry, wet, and water mix and 1 dry food feeding (overnight). I was just curious since it seemed odd to me that they would eat less as...

    So Kittens Eat More Than Adult Cats?

    Hey everyone. I was telling my cousin that I am hoping feeding our kitten doesn’t get more expensive when he gets older since he’ll need more food as an adult. She told me that kittens eat more than adult cats. Is this true? I always thought it was the same as humans, the older we get, the more...

    Help! Old Kitten Hissing At New Kitten!

    Oh our current kitten typically lets us sleep at night. We rescued him at 6 weeks and we used to keep him in a large cage (4ft x 5 ft) overnight and started to let him roam around at night every other night for about a week. After that, he only kept bugging us at night about 3x so the next night...

    Help! Old Kitten Hissing At New Kitten!

    Hi again Jen! Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately we had to take Trixie back to the shelter this morning for her foster mom to pick her up. She was yowling/meowing loudly all night and when we let her into the room with us, she was pouncing and jumping really hard from our nightstands and bed...

    Help! Old Kitten Hissing At New Kitten!

    Hi everyone. So we’ve had our male kitten Albus since he was 6 weeks old. He’s now 18 weeks old (4 months) and we decided to get him a companion while he’s still young. We got a female kitten, Trixie, who is 5 months old today and were told to take it slow but that kittens are much easier to get...

    Better Wet Food Than Fancy Feast?

    We went to Petco this morning and some of the Whole Earth Farms stuff was on clearance so we got a bunch of 5oz cans for .59c and 3oz cans for .49c. I opened up 1 of the kitten recipe ones and our kitty LOVES it. It smells better than the FF too which is a plus. I was actually a little worried...

    Better Wet Food Than Fancy Feast?

    I’ve been looking into the Whole Earth Farms canned food for a bit as well and I know if I buy in bulk it comes out to about the same as FF. So far that seems to be the best option we have for the price and its easily accessible. I just found out about the 4Health brand from Tractor Supply since...

    Better Wet Food Than Fancy Feast?

    Hi everyone, so I’ve been looking for a better option for wet food for our kitten than Fancy Feast but at a low cost. Currently we’ve been giving him the turkey recipe, chicken recipe, and tuna recipe of the kitten flavors. We also use Whole Hearted Kitten Chicken Recipe dry food. For 3 out of 4...

    Help With Kitty's Food.

    Just throwing this out there; if you are shopping at Petco or have a Petco near you, you can return food if your cat doesn’t like it even if it’s opened. I was able to take my kittens dry food back twice before I found 1 he liked. Cute cat btw!

    Introducing 18 Week Old Resident, Disco, To New 16 Week Old Kitten, Bandit

    Hi, I know this is a bit old but now that it’s been about a month since this post, have you been successful with your 2 kittens being together? How long did it take for them to be good with each other? I’m looking for a companion for my 16 week old kitten and all the research I’ve done seems to...

    Possible Maine Coon Mix?

    What does first rate breeding stock mean? I wanted to take the orange sibling 3 years ago when it was a kitten but he and the sister were impossible to catch, they ran like the wind lol

    Possible Maine Coon Mix?

    I can definitely see the father being an NFC look alike. That’s somewhat what my parents described the father might be. I’m just somewhat hoping he doesn’t have Maine Coon (even though they’re beautiful cats) because I know Maine Coons to be large most of the time and I live in a not so big...
