Agreed. Cats are very sensitive. My mom, who is 90, and very spiritually aware, says, “Dogs are here to be our companions, but cats are here to teach us.” They need trust and to come to us.

She does purr, just not as frequently or as loud. She seems very happy and content! I hope she is!

Oh my baby! That’s what I worried about! I hope she’s ok! I just want her healthy and happy. Thank you.

Thank you! Yes, when she feels like it!

Suki was the loudest little purring kitten before she was spayed, but now I barely get anything! Is it from the intubation during surgery? Could she have been traumatized and is now not as happy? Could feral buddy Outlaw have taught her not to purr? That seems unlikely, given the suddenness of...

Thank you for the replies. I guess I knew the answer, but it’s stressful to hear them meowing all day. I planned it so I could be home, but I have to go back on Monday. That will be the five days, but I doubt it will be completely healed, and I don’t want to leave them alone all day. I will...

My kitten was spayed on Wednesday and doesn’t act at all different. She is 12 weeks old and she and our one year old are very stressed out at being separated. They play so rough, I can’t keep them together, but they are driving us crazy, scratching and crying at the door. If I watch closely...

Live traps and take them far away, into wilderness, away from other people.

Yes. It’s applied on the back of the neck. I am still finding a few on them, so they must be jumping on from the house. I guess eventually they will die when I treat them again. I hate fleas!

Thank you!

My new little stray baby girl Suki brought home worms and now fleas to our other cat, Outlaw. I treated both with Vectra a week ago, but I’m still finding fleas on them when I comb with a flea comb! How do I get them out of the house and why are they still on them? Are they jumping on them from...

Outlaw does “The Flop.” It’s so funny and hue rolls to have his belly rubbed.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful and helpful advice. This site has such level headed cat owners, it’s refreshing. Plus, I love the stories! Outlaw Jose’s Wales and Suki Stackhouse are pretty much old buddies now, it’s more the dangers of the big house I need to consider. You have all...

Do you have a video of him on Tegato’s back?! How cute that must have been! My older cat Outlaw is teaching her but not like that! I was so worried about her falling over the railing and she jumped up and was hanging from it! I have been leaving her out for longer periods, just not all day...

My stray kitten, who was supposed to be eight weeks when we got her, ended up being maybe four. She was tiny, but there was no way the acquaintance of my friend, was taking her back. I wasn’t looking for a kitten. I just couldn’t see her without a home and my guy was lonely. I have a year...

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the responses! I think I’ll wait a bit, so she isn’t so tiny. We are still bonding too and I don’t want to interrupt that. It’s funny how I’ve had cats all my life, but usually adult strays, or stray kittens in the barn that someone dumped. This kitten thing...

My new female kitten is about seven, or eight weeks old now. She is getting along great with her big brother, neutered one year old, although still supervised. When should I spay her? I hate to wait too long, because then I have to separate her from Outlaw, just when they are ready to be...

Ok, we are on day 11, and making great progress every day! Outlaw is still a bit rough, and we are still supervising, but they are together most of the day, when we are home. I give her breaks away from him to eat, since she needs more than he does, but she seeks him out as soon as I open the...

This is a great cat site! When I first got my new kitten and was searching online for advice on introducing kittens to cats, I came across a different site with some really wacky members! After reading one person with questions about kittens and cats, two members were so vicious and insulting...

My cat is very skittish with strangers. I found him, with his two siblings in my barn last spring. Mom is feral, and moved them as soon as she saw me looking. It took me another two weeks to find and trap everyone. I got good homes for two kittens, and kept Outlaw. I got Mom spayed, but she...
