    Help: my cat started peeing outside the litter box after adopting new kitten

    Hi sunny! I’ve always tried to stick to the amount of cats + 1 litter box rule. Prior to the kitten I had 3 large ones, downstairs and side by side (with some space in between) in the corridor against the wall. Both Grey and White used them without issue, and White would cry to be let out of my...

    Help: my cat started peeing outside the litter box after adopting new kitten

    Hi Mamanyt, thank you for the advice and sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy. I read your comment and last night when I got home I took the litter box (with wood pellets) I had in my room and put it downstairs, I couldn’t place it directly on top of a pee spot because they’re quite...

    Help: my cat started peeing outside the litter box after adopting new kitten

    Hello everyone! For some context to the title, we adopted a kitten (we'll call her “Tabby”) back in December, she’s 5mo now and is female. She’s our third cat after “Grey” (7yo, male) and “White” (5yo, female). All are neutered/spayed except for Tabby, who is scheduled to be spayed in 2 weeks...

    6~week kitten care questions

    Thank you both! I decided to use the frontline spray for now as the vet assured me it can be used on young kittens with the right dosage, if I see it persists I’ll go for a dawn bath. Woke up today to her going to the bathroom right next to the litter box again despite cleaning and following...

    6~week kitten care questions

    Thank you! I agree she’s a cutie 😝 Yes, it was just the shock of the rehoming. She did end up peeing a whole pool… on one of the few spots uncovered, when I wasn’t with her lol. I reduced her space for when I’m not around with a playpen I had for my dog, I’m still testing her escaping abilities...

    6~week kitten care questions

    The kitten has come home today and she’s a sweetheart, she’s been eating well, playing and napping since she came home. My one concern is that she hasn’t peed or pooped yet and it’s been 6 hours (she’s had two wet meals with a bit of added water and also sipped a bit of water alone). At least...

    6~week kitten care questions

    Hi di and bob and Vince, sorry for the late reply, this week has been a bit crazy! But thank you, your advice on the food and litter has been great, I managed to find some good wet kitten food to give her for a while and plan to mix in some dry kitten kibble later on. Also got her kitten-safe...

    6~week kitten care questions

    Hi again! Thank you for popping around. I hadn’t read this before my last reply, it’s good to know about the feeding, I’ll just offer her food throughout the day if she’s willing to eat it. I remember the introduction between my other two, there was a lot of hissing indeed but I also did many...

    6~week kitten care questions

    I understand that completely, the thing is I sadly don’t have a say in it because I’m just adopting the kitten and I’m not the momma cat’s owner 😞 Basically, the owner’s cat got accidentally pregnant, has some health issues and is soon going to be spayed. There is more info on my other post if...

    6~week kitten care questions

    Thanks for the advice! Especially about her getting used to having her paws/nails touched, hopefully will make the trimming easier in the future (one of my adult cats HATES it and I have to wait til he’s asleep, lol). I will post pictures once she’s here of course 😃

    6~week kitten care questions

    Hello! I’ve posted before about a little kitten I’m adopting. She was supposed to come home at the end of the month at 9 weeks old, but instead I’ll be receiving her in a few days which will make her only 6.5~weeks old. I have never cared for a kitten this young so I want to be prepared and...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    While I get that calling the owner a byb from a technical standpoint could apply, I think we all know it carries negative aspects behind it, like carelessly breeding for profit, not caring about their own animal’s wellbeing and the litter’s, etc. I truly think this is not the case, I don’t know...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    Vince and DreamerRose, I just learned “wall eyes” was a thing! Definitely describes her look better than cross-eyed. The general consensus seems to be that it is just a kitten thing, but it’s good to know that even if it carries onto adulthood it will not affect her eyesight, thank you for your...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    Hi, thank you for including your experience and tips with younger kittens! Unfortunately I can’t make the jump from 2 to 4 cats comfortably right now, but I sure hope my older cats get along with her, I’ve been reading up on how to introduce them 😃 Your Tess sounds lovely and seeing you got her...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    She’s so young right now I thought that could be the case too! But I haven’t really been around kittens this little so I figured it would be best to ask around here, haha. I will check with the vet in a few as you said, my main concern is for her sight to be okay! And thank you for your kind...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    Hi, thank you for replying! I’ve learned the situation is far from ideal, but after talking to the owner I could not get her to keep the kittens for longer than 2 months (9 weeks). I will be dealing with her vaccines, vet work and spaying later on. Any tips on how to make the best of the...

    Does this kitten look like she’ll be cross-eyed?

    Oh, I was not aware standard was around 12 weeks with mom. Unfortunately, she’s kind of in a hurry to spay her because momma cat has some kinda cysts that need to be removed in the operation. I will have a chat with her though and maybe by speaking to her vet we can reach the best solution...
