    Cat’s spay incision

    I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing this but totally happy to share cat pics! We’ve had her for about a month and a half and she’s still a giant stinker but so cute and loving that I can’t even be mad when I wake up to her attacking my feet or knocking all the bottles off the sink.

    Cat’s spay incision

    The emergency vet today actually commented that it’s one of the smallest incisions she’s ever seen. She did scrape it today on something and a little blood came out but they said it shouldn’t be a cause for concern, and that the incision is so small it probably wouldn’t even be a big deal if it...

    Cat’s spay incision

    We’re not sure because she was a feral but somewhere around 6-9 months. She’s just tiny (barely 5 pounds!). And believe me, she’s a stinker! I’m kicking myself for not taking daily pictures to get an idea of how it’s healing, because I don’t really remember what it looked like on the first day...

    Cat’s spay incision

    So Daphne got spayed on Tuesday, which you’d never know by how energetic she was when she got home. I’m posting a picture of her incision because I feel like it looks a little funny and don’t know if it’s healing properly. Despite my best efforts she has continued to jump and run and play at...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Haha I guess I’ll just have to squeeze all three pets onto my lap somehow! I think her heat may have accelerated her cuddliness a little but I’m not complaining at all! And here I was expecting it to be weeks and weeks before she was warmed up to me.

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    She’s a cutie and she knows it! We have a 9yo toy poodle and a 14yo deaf chihuahua who both sleep most of the day and spend their waking hours hounding me for food and pets. She and the poodle get along more or less fine and I think they’ll be good friends in time but she’s a little less certain...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    So I figured I’d throw an update on this thread for the people that offered such great advice when I first brought the kitty (who we’ve named Daphne) home. She’s been with us for a little over two weeks now and I’m absolutely blown away by her progress. She’s turned out to be the most...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Yeah I definitely wonder if she had more contact with the neighbor or other humans more than we thought. Granted my mom’s house is a lot louder and more rambunctious so that environment probably didn’t help her come out of her shell very much to begin with. They were shocked when I told them...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    That makes total sense and I’m glad I’m not paranoid for feeling like it’s too soon to be giving her full access to the house unsupervised. I’ll see if the towel trick will work for the meantime until I can get something more longterm/permanent in place. There are definitely some things I don’t...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Also some requisite pics of her last night while we played. She’s as soft as a cloud and this morning she even put her paws on my chest and booped my nose! I was shocked since she’s only been around people for about a month and I had to fish her out from under a sofa just to get her home!

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    That’s a good idea! She doesn’t seem very good-motivated so far but maybe I just haven’t found the right treats/food. She actually can come out under the door any time she wants since I haven’t found an effective way to block off the gap at the bottom of the door, but I did put up a baby gate in...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Update: day one with the new kitten went pretty well. She’s already letting me pet her and was eager to play after a while. The only thing is we realized that she’s just small enough to be able to squeeze under our doors, so our plan of keeping her in one room is now a bust. She seemed pretty...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Thank you! I'm glad to hear I'm on the right track. She hasn't been exposed to carriers yet as far as I know, so I am worried about how she'll do. I got a carrier with a top door to make things as easy as possible, and I'll definitely be making it as snug as possible with blankets and treats...

    Adopting older kitten found under a house

    Hi everyone! First time posting here but I’ve been lurking for a few days reading through relevant threads. So about a month ago, my mom found a kitten under her neighbor's house and took it in. The neighbor has refused to fix her cat, so there is pretty much a revolving door of kittens coming...
