    11 Week Old Kitten Peeing on Human/Bed

    I’m having the same issue and read through this post. Sincerely hope this is a short stint as I’m so frustrated. Katia did/does have a UTI and crystals which she is being treated for. Even with that she used the litter box. She had to use the shower once because she was in pain and couldn’t...

    Tips for Directing Towards Independent Play Time

    Update: Every automatic toy I purchased was returned. She wouldn’t give any even a second of attention. She didn’t like the springs. She didn’t like the felt balls. The answer? A piece of spring-y wire with rolled up cardboard at the end stuck to the wall. Best $5 on Amazon I’ve ever spent...

    I can’t. I’m weak. 😂

    I switched her to Rawz Pate with occasional kibble snack. Not only does she love it but her coat has completely changed. It’s so soft, shiny, fluffy and more dense.

    Tips for Directing Towards Independent Play Time

    Update: she surprisingly doesn’t like the felt balls, she is undecided on the springs meaning she batted at one once and walked away. Anything with a motor is a nope. Basically it has to have a wand and mom at the other end. I will wake up to all the wand toys at the base of my bed. That said...

    First one is a little hard to see but she was sleeping with her head hanging off the bed. 😂 When I first brought her home she had to be right up against me at all times. 😂 Now she spreads out a bit more.

    Tips for Directing Towards Independent Play Time

    Thanks for the suggestions. Before the hunter/prey feather on a wand obsession (I can’t make it too easy, if I do she will sit there and glare at me), she loved a random fuzzy ball that wasn’t even a cat toy (ignored the actual cat ball toys). The felted balls seems like a similar texture so...

    Tips for Directing Towards Independent Play Time

    Thanks so much! She does cuddle up to me and sleep with me between whining so it’s a start. I’m patient and she does pass out around 5am allowing me a little nap. Thank you for the suggestions. I bought her an automated fish but that didn’t seem to do it. She really likes the interaction with...

    Tips for Directing Towards Independent Play Time

    New cat mom. She’s 2yr and ultra sweet and very playful. I work at home so she is a spoiled little kitty. I’ve been careful to not cave to her whining but wait until she settles to engage. The only toys she is interested in are ones which engage with me...so the stick with the feathers and the...

    Slightly embarrassed to admit how many times I’ve watched this. 🤣

    FeLV and Brevecto

    Thanks. Have been concerning myself all day reading articles. Pet sitter made it home and said she ate and was active. I gave him signs to watch for and told him not to hesitate. I didn’t want to rush her to the vet because if it was somewhat related to the trauma of the experience, another...

    FeLV and Brevecto

    What are normal side effect and what warrants concern? They said they would give her an injection to counter the effects of the vaccine. How long do effects last? Do most cats have reactions like this? I feel like if I have the sitter take her to a vet I might choose a different vet because I...

    FeLV and Brevecto

    First time kitty owner. Brought home the most sweet playful and loving cat from the shelter. Her favorite activities include following me around everywhere, sleeping next to or on top of me, kneading me, chasing her tail and batting around her fuzzy balls. As soon as I brought her home she was...

    I just read about “tortitude” today. How funny. This one doesn’t have that. She is the kitty embodiment of pure love and cuddles. I had the sitter over for a meet and greet since I’m leaving town for work. Without hesitation she rolled on her back and was asking for belly rubs. I don’t think...

    First Time Kitty Owner

    Her first vet visit is Monday (about a week after I brought her home). I have a list of questions forming. Thanks everyone for the info. Helpful. I have noticed she wasn’t drinking water. I bought a kitty fountain and she uses it quite a bit so I feel better she is getting water. May also do a...

    Best slow-feeders?

    I just bought this one and it helps immensely and she seems to be really engaged with the process of digging out the food. If she isn’t truly hungry she will give up digging out the kibble.

    First Time Kitty Owner

    Long time cat lover, first time cat owner. Adopted a cat about a week ago. The shelter gave me Hills urinary care as she had a UTI after being transferred from multiple shelters. They thought it was gone but I’ll take her to the vet soon to make sure. Question is a novice one... How much do I...

    Help Describe My New Kitty

    Thanks! Here I would have called her “grey and beige”. Having cat term coat qualifiers helps. Suppose the Russian name of Katia that she came with is very fitting with the resemblance to a Russian blue. Love her and so happy we found each other. Now to post in all the other forum topics to...
