I think this is wonderful, if possible, but often unrealistic and unnecessary. I think you should try to set up a routine but not stress yourself out if you need to make changes. Kittens are adaptable. And they’ll adapt to differences in your schedule between weekends and weekdays, vacations...

Thanks, I think based on your replies, we'll make her an indoor only cat for now. Less trouble all around. We'll continue to open the window (there's a screen, of course), and in the future when we move, we'll think about letting her into a backyard under supervision. 1) I'm not allowed to...

I've been trying to harness train my 5 month old kitten in the hopes of taking her on walks outside. The harness training in my apartment went well. Then, we went outside 3 times to a quiet park. Each time was a combination of us sitting on the grass or a bench, and walking. When we would sit...

My concern about leaving the kitten with a friend at another persons house is that they will not kitten proof their house enough.

Yes I know they can be there without fail 1-2 times a day (1 of them lives 1 st over from me, and we are good friends; the other guy is only going to come 1 day when the first person knows she can’t make it). I agree with you that maybe a cat sitter combo could be optimal. So friend 1 can come...

We are going on a 1 week vacation in 1 month and cannot bring my 5 month old kitten along with us. We found 2 friends who are cat owners and who will come over 1-2 times per day to play and feed with her and clean her litter box. Will that be ok at her age? Are there better alternatives...

Yes she has been dewormed. And she’s about 4 months old now, so ok for clumping litter. We are still having problems — now with allergies. We got Fresh Step unscented cljmping litter but it’s very dusty. We (me, my boyfriend and kitty) all have been sneezing note and I think it’s because of...

General question - what are the concerns about feeding a mix of raw, canned wet food, and dry kibble? Just wondering for my cat...

Quick update - I have started harness training and clicker training the kitty. For clicker training, I use a target stick and am having an ok time teaching 'sit.' I have some questions as I'm going along 1) The kitty likes to follow the target stick. I'm having a hard time teaching 'come'...

No parasites (poop was tested 2 weeks ago). Poop is normal in consistency (solid but not hard). Any specific recommendations on food that creates the least stink? (other than raw food) She also doesn't cover her poop consistently - any tips on how to get her to cover them more?

Also, the kitten is right now 3 lbs and probably will not grow to be over 6-7 lbs as a cat. I don't like scents, so I'm looking for a litter that's not heavily scented.

Hi, I have 1 kitten who has the stinkiest poops. We are feeding her high quality food (Nature's variety Instinct dry kibble plus Nutro or Blue Buffalo wet food). Currently, we have the Purina tidy cats pellet litter which does a good job of controlling the urine stink, but not the poop! The...

Also, do you give your cat baths because it goes outdoors?

Thanks kitkatgurl! Your cat sounds amazing! Would love to hear your thoughts on harness, collar, and leash type? She weighs 3 lbs so is still pretty small.

Thanks for the advice. I should mention that she often does not play by herself in the morning -- I (my face) get stepped on on a daily basis and then she either runs off, or uses the bed and bedcovers as her personal hunting ground...

Hi, I posted a few weeks ago that my boyfriend and I have a new, almost 4 month old kitten. She is the sweetest lap cat who loves to play and cuddle. I have a few questions for all you more experienced cat owners. 1) We would like to clicker train her to follow simple commands like 'come,'...

Quick update - I think the kitten is now doing fine. She hasn't vomited since yesterday evening, and today she did really well with eating, drinking, peeing and pooping. Yes, I do have a sample of her previous food. She also 'escaped' her room today and since the rest of the apartment has been...

No, we were going to see the vet next week. Well, now the kitten woke up with a start and then decided by herself to climb up to my lap and sit there (without growling) so hopefully things are fine. First time kitty sat on my lap!

Also, I don't think she's interested in treats right now.

Arrgh, I'm really annoyed and frustrated adn I don't know what to do. The kitten threw up yellow liquid (bile), then I cleaned it up, and waited for a while. She started meowing really loudly and I thought she might be hungry (it's dinner time here) so I warmed out some wet cat food, and she...
