My cousin said he had been previously draining the infection out of it and boiling it out with peroxide. He said Max never minded it, but it obviously didn't really work. We have triple antibiotic ointment here at home, and peroxide and rubbing alcohol. We don't have any tea or regular Neosporin...

Hey! I last used this forum when I got my first kitten, Charcoal! He was really rambunctious and enjoyed my eyeballs being his hunting targets. If anyone remembers that - it's resolved! He's been neutered, he's calmed down some, everything is well. Well, my cousin recently pulled a kitten out...

Update on Charcoal, I can't get him to "stop". I tried transferring but just moving my head gets the message across to him. He has started trying to play in his litterbox though which has me a little concerned. Is he bored? It's like he has to go potty but then realizes digging around in there...

Okay! So, well, I was basically all wrong. I AM making progress with Charcoal, except for the eye thing mostly. He is in FACT trying to suckle my eyelashes. Just somewhat aggressively. He treats my eyelashes the same as he does my mother's shirts. It's really confusing, and I frankly have no...

I'm aware letting him near my face while trying to keep him from my eyes is a horrendous decision when it's being read, but the actual experience is controlled, quick, and always when he's really calm and typically about to nap, and also much more focused on getting a nice, long rub. I would...

I'm going to wait until his neuter before I make any quick decisions. He's gotten much calmer and I've had a long, arguably rude conversation with my mom, so I want to see how that all pans out after that. I have deduced that yes he can definitely see TV and phone screens, and I've also deduced...

A followup on that - I've noticed when it's just him and I home alone he's much more relaxed and actually tends to entertain and play with himself (chasing his balls across the floor and not needing them thrown, picking up and slinging his toy mouse on his own) than try to get me or my mom to...

Hey! I think I may have some reasoning as to why he likes my eyes so much! I noticed when I'm laying down with my glasses on, he gets kind of stamdoffish - I think maybe he's seeing his reflection! And then he goes for my eyes out of confusion, because he couldn't see them before. Could that...

Moving out is definitely in my agenda. I have plans with my boyfriend to start apartment hunting at the start of this school year - I'm going to work and he'll be going to college when we graduate. I've lived with her for 17 years and I can tell you it's been long enough that I know I don't want...

Also, I forgot to address this, Charcoal has a neuter scheduled. The flea treatment has worked SOME, but there's definitely some fleas that don't look like they're going to be leaving. When we first got him, fleas spread from him into our bed, and they quickly just returned to him for whatever...

Charcoal has been wormed and needs to do his last round of earmite treatments in a week (vet said one week, skip a week, do another week), and he has been given flea meds. He's only 2.5lbs so I'm thinking maybe that's why all the fleas didn't die? I desperately need to bathe him again (the first...

I forgot some things - also, he has a wand toy, fake mice, and little jingly balls. My mom insists he's not old enough for cat treats despite the bags not saying an age requirement, so no treats. I've noticed when he plays with the wand it's a little odd. He just grabs the mouse and holds it...

A lot to address, this is gonna be a long message. I've had cats and kittens before, and also dogs. Only two of my animals (I'm not including fish) have died in my care. My very first animal, a cat named Bear that we found outside, was hit by a car. He was pretty wild but I wouldn't say feral...

I pulled it out and waved it a little and he didn't even associate it with a toy. I used it some because he gets back behind where our clothes hang, in the corner of the wall behind the whole closet thing, and I can't reach him there. That's how he climbs up our clothes and walks across our...

For all the lovely people here helping me out, what are your opinions on using a flyswatter?

Appointment went well, and it seems like he just slept the whole time we were gone. Placing him elsewhere is workinggggg, sort of. It's gotten to where I put him down, and he goes and does something else naughty immediately. I'm working on getting some peppermint extract to mix with water and...

I'm very aware of what to do with my scratches and bites if he ever draws blood with them. The soap and water has helped tremendously with swelling and itching. I'm afraid of the dark and I'm touchy about stuff on my face. I tried a face mask once, and never ever did it again. You'd think such...

That sounds like a dream, but my living situation doesn't afford for that kind of space. I have a living room and kitchen that's smushed together into one room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. The bathroom is inhumanly small, so I can't put him in there (I had an incident of a past cat getting stuck...

If I may add something, I've noticed he's jealous of my phone and attacks my phone or hands when typing as I am now, however, when that doesn't earn him his way (I always put my phone down as soon as I finish the message and love on him), he then goes for my eyes. It's definitely an attention...

The girl I got him from said he was at least six weeks old, and when I took him to the vet he commented on how he seemed much bigger. He and his littermates were born outside and the owner didn't even know she had kittens until momma cat brought them to the porch. He's strictly indoors now...
