    How to slow my cat down when eating?

    Allegra turned a year in November - she is naturally thin, not a foodie in any way. Cadbury turns a year this month, huge glutton, started getting tubby at 6 months. Until recently they free fed good quality kitten food (3 bowls around apt) and got wet food twice a day when I had foster kittens...

    Another kitten Intro

    Allegra needed a permanent kitten friend and today I officially adopted Cadbury Cream Egg! I struggled which of the foster kittens to pick and in the end I picked Cadbury as she seemed the most compatible with Allegra. As time went by I am glad I picked her as they have been developing a bond...

    Which kitten to pick?

    I KNOW I am overthinking this, but want to pick the kitten best suited to my kitten. I have a litter of three foster kittens that are about 2 months old, one seems a smidge older and likely from another litter. They are getting fixed on Monday so I have until then to pick which one to adopt as...

    At what age do you allow foster kittens to meet your cat?

    When I took Allegra to get her shot, the vet (not my normal vet) seemed nervous that I wanted to allow her access to future foster kittens and advocated for fosters to stay separate. We decided to do the fiv vaccine even though she is indoors for extra protection with fosters. No way am I...

    Finally adopted a kitten!

    I have been looking for a pair of kittens since before Christmas and I had given up on finding a pair. They get adopted as quickly as they are posted and some rescues just don't seem to respond even when they are posted for long periods. Defeated, two weeks ago I emailed the humane society...

    What's the minimum a kitten should eat?

    I unexpectedly and happily got a litter of three kittens to foster Sunday afternoon! All I know is that they came in as strays and are approximately 8 weeks old. Based on their odour I assume they grew up on a farm and based on their poor appetite/interest in cat food - wet or dry - I am...

    Adopting kittens without meeting them

    My foster kitten was sent to a foster-to-adopt home and since then I've been scouring all local rescues for a pair of kittens. The issue? With Covid, and the fact that my province is entering a 1 month lockdown after Christmas I can't meet any kittens in person. I really really wanted to meet...

    how common is redirected aggression in cats?

    When my cats were 3 and 5 they had a single instance of redirected aggression that led to them being separated for a year, meds and behaviour therapy. It was severe and my vet told me their level of aggression was extreme and unusual. After a year the young one (and the aggressor) had to be put...

    How to get kitty litter out of long fur and paws?

    I just started fostering 4 semi-feral 8 week old kittens yesterday and they have very long fur. I have them in 2 medium kennels and last night they destroyed their cage; water tuned over mixed with liter everywhere. I cleaned both kennels out this morning and they each have some chunks in their...

    What's the lowest amount of calories a cat needs?

    All relevant info: I have a 7.5 year old, very lazy indoor cat. When she was 2.5yo she ballooned up to 15.5lbs as she kept sneaking into the new kitten food. The vet told me I need to put her on a diet and her ideal weight was 11-12lbs for her size and she should be eating 220 calories. I found...

    Can You Tell How Cuddly A Cat Wll Be When They Are Eight Weeks Old?

    I am fostering three kittens who will be eight weeks tomorrow, I've had them for three weeks. I did this in part to see if my very grumpy cat would get along with a kitten - she had a traumatic experience with my second cat two years ago. She has been together with them in my apt for a few days...

    Male Or Female Kitten With Aggressive Female Cat? Should I Even Get A Second One?

    I am debating if I should get another kitten and if so does the sex matter in your opinion? Background: It's soooo long but I want the opinion of those who have a love of cats and more experience than I... I have a an adult female cat since she was 8 weeks old from the humane society born in...
