    Did playtime go too far? Or is this something more serious I should be worried about?

    Hello Cat-siters My two kittens Uno (white), and Bandit (tuxedo) are roughly the same age (6 months) Uno was a single kitten till 1 June when we got bandit. Introductions went fairly well apart from some hissing, and they eventually bonded quite well - Uno began to groom bandit, and they...

    Is it safe to transport a young kitten internationally?

    Quandary: I found Uno 2.5 months ago, and it was a completely unplanned adoption. He was about 6 weeks at the time, so that makes him about 4 months old right now (approximate age, since we had no way of finding out) Another unplanned scenario: I may have to move back to my home country in the...

    #transformation - just sharing

    Hello good people of TCS I got on here a day or two after I found Uno (or he found me. whichever), and it's been a wild 2.5 months since. Including more trips to the vet than I expected, but it's all good. I just wanted to share how beautifully he's transformed ... it shocked me when I went...

    Is it possible to get a cat to sleep apart from me (but in the same room)

    I know I know .... cats will sleep where they want. But I'm wondering if this is at all possible??? Here's what's going on: I got Uno 2 weeks ago and he's a sweetheart. Being a stray (possibly abandoned?) makes him ...well... slightly clingy. This is fine and I love the bonding time and all...

    Hungry kitty! - scheduled vs. free feeding?

    So I've a 6-7 week old adopted stray kitty, Uno, who's in surprisingly ok shape healthwise (some minor mite and fungal infections apart). He's a sweet child (mostly!) and very active and playful. He's gained a pound (or almost .5 Kg) in the week he's been with me - the vet suspected he was...

    How to stop kitten getting out on ledge?

    Hi! 7(ish) week old Uno, who I rescued last week as a stray, has been getting more comfortable and naughtier! I did attempt cat-proofing my house, including installing chicken wire on the small balcony area ... but I noticed he got out today. Nearly had a heart attack and managed to coax him...

    Help on getting rid of flea dirt?

    Hi, I've rescued a stray cat (there are many in my area and country) and done the initial check up at the vet. As expected - the kitty had fleas and a mite infestation, and I was given medication for both. Frontline for the fleas / lice, and it seems to have worked along with a couple of baths...

    Hi Everyone, meet Uno and Dos

    Hello people I'm a new cat mom - of 3 days. TBH I didn't really think I would be a cat person (we always had dogs when I was growing up) but well, this kitty took one look at me and decided I was potential mom material. I found her dirty and neglected on my morning walk, waited to see if...
