Hi all, thanks for your responses! Just wanted to give an update...
Things are improving! Kitten jumps on me and Jasper a lot less (as if understands it's not liked). Jasper can find his own space for peace. There are still moments of kitten irritating jasper, lunging into unwanted chasing and...
She has access to 2 bowls of dried food - 24 hrs. Mealtimes are wet food. I'm not underfeeding her.
"The fact she was separated from mum too early, and likely undersocialised because of it, is likely complicating the play aggression and increasing her clinginess."
She was not separated from...
Thanks for your feedback Maurey. Millie is not underfed, I’m feeding her all the time and she has constant food available. Not sure why you are accusing me of under feeding her. I would never do that. She came to me at just under 14 weeks old - so I don’t know why you are telling me she left her...
Thank you for the tips!! There’s more I can try here.
Jasper has 3 personal space areas where he can find quiet. I do miss jasper - he’s not in my space anymore because she has taken over. He’s quite an introvert anyhow.
Really hope milly calms down and RBs are not crazy. I nearly got a BSH...
Hi there! Any insight or advice welcome. I am struggling living with a 4 month old RB. I’ve had her 1 month. Her name is Millie.
I have a 6yr old adult Persian (jasper). Very chilled. He has accepted her, but she totally terrorises him every day. She chaces him. Just playing, but each week is...
Hello!
Would anyone have advice on a good harness and lead for a slender Russian Blue kitten (4 months old)? Amazon options are overwhelming! And there's always something wrong in the reviews with all of them. So hard to know what to get. :)
Context for use:
I live in a top floor flat with...
Good idea, but this is a block of flats run by a management company. Technically, I'm not allowed onto that roof space. I don't own it. They won't endorse anything like that.
Hi everyone! A penny for your thoughts
I'm debating a RB or BSH kitten. I've read up on general temperaments. Both sound lovely. It's to replace a beautiful BSH cross I recently lost to kidney disease. She was very loyal, followed me around everywhere, loved cuddles and head bumps and purred...
hi nymeria!
I’ve just joined this site, and reading your original post - oh my I could have written it myself! I am torn between the Russian Blue and the Tonk. My set up and needs are identical to yours.
just wondering, did you get a Tonk? How did you get on?
good I hope :)
I know this is a very subjective question! :) But it would be great to hear any opinions or experiences. I'm unable to get a rescue cat/kitten (the shelters won't let me because I live in a flat with a balcony and have a resident cat, they are quite strict here in UK) - so, I've done some...
Hello there! I'm in talks with a breeder to buy a kitten. They look very responsible and by the book, apart from they neuter the kitten at around 13 weeks old, after both vaccinations. I've heard some vets in the UK (including my own) recommend waiting until 6 months. Are there any real risks...
Thanks for your information. I've heard mixed things about neutering so young. Some vets claim to wait until 6 months. I've no idea if it's an issue, or just a UK thing.
Norachan - that's a fantastic set-up you have there! I'm unable to do that to my roof as technically it's not my space and off access. I have a railing around my designated terrace area that is quite small and the cats can walk through, and so access the full roof space.
I'm looking at...
