    Newly adopted kitten won't stop yowling

    He is a baby, and all babies are different. Just like some human babies cry more than others, kittens can be the same. He will settle eventually. One of my cats was very needy as a kitten. I used to wear my hoodies backwards and put him in the hood, so I could carry him around, like a little...

    Corona Virus Now Spreading

    Im in the UK. Right now the rules are quite loose, you have have friends over indoors (six people at a time, or two households of any size), indoor dining is open again, and there's a plan to release all restrictions in about three weeks time (but honestly, I doubt it). I think right now they...

    Question of The Day. Saturday 29th of May.

    I get up at 7:30 on school days, to take the kids to school, but at 8:30 on weekends. I have an alarm, but on the few occasions I have forgotten to set it when the kids went back to school, I have woken up in time to get everyone ready because the cats know it is breakfast time and wont let me...

    What fur color have you NOT had in your family that you want to have?

    Ive never chosen my cat's colour before, they found me and sort of showed up one day, except for my youngest (but his litter was four tabbies and a tortie who already had been picked by someone). I love tortoiseshell cats, and would love to be owned by one, I guess we will just have to wait and...

    What about your cat is against the norm?

    I have four cats who absolutely love belly rubs and having their paws played with, I can touch them anywhere and they dont mind one bit. My fifth cat is more opinionated and more like a typical cat. One of my cats can fetch toys like a dog, and I taught him how to sit.

    What is Your Cat Obsessed With?

    One of my cats has a toy called Blue Mouse. Its a blue toy mouse, and he loves it and carries it everywhere. Its kind of falling apart now he's had it for five months, its fur is falling off, its tail is missing and it doesnt look very mouse like. I bought a pack of 36 of them on Amazon (in six...

    Is there any alternative ways to secure a kitten/cat than a wire crate?

    We have a playpen, which was a safe Teddy space when we had just got him, that we used for introductions and times we needed to keep him somewhere safe. Ours is octagon shaped with mesh sides and a waterproof floor, and it folds flat.

    there should be a forum just for cat litter

    I recently switched to a litter made of recycled paper pellets, and am pretty impressed with it. It is not dusty at all, doesnt smell, its biodegradable (wouldnt recommend flushing litter though, even if it says its flushable), and its pretty non toxic, although I dont have a dog and probably...

    Finding cat food and litter

    Ive been doing my shopping closer to home, as I dont trust public transport at the minute. There is a supermarket within walking distance, but it does not have Amber's favourite food (she wont eat any other wet food) so I have had to order a box on Amazon, as well as cat litter as I have five...

    Explain your cat's name

    Socks was named by our former next door neighbour. She came between the two houses, but at the time I couldnt keep her as my mum did not like animals, so the neighbour was the one who took her to the vet and fed her, even if she spent most of her time with me. when I moved out, I asked the...

    Is your cat's meow deep or high?

    Socks sort of goes "mrrp" or "waaa". Izzy is squeaky. Mittens is kind of high pitched but also has a very deep, loud purr. Amber says a high pitched "mee-owwwwwww", Teddy has a baby kitten voice and a purr so loud you can hear him from the other side of the room. He purrs at everything, if I was...

    Bath

    Cats are self cleaning unless they are hairless or too old/sick/fat to clean themselves all over effectively, or have a skin condition that requires it. My five cats have had only had a few baths in their entire life, usually because they did something like walk through wet paint or pee in the...

    Kitten About to be Spayed But Vaccine Reaction

    She will be fine, its better to do it before, but one heat doesnt increase the risk by that much, its more repeated heats and pregnancies that are the problem. Its much less risky to postpone it for a week or two if she isnt well.

    Kitten About to be Spayed But Vaccine Reaction

    Did your cat have a reaction when she had her first vaccinations, or just the second? Personally, if this reaction was a one off and she has previously had it with no issue, I would have the booster dose on schedule, but then if she has another reaction (and she might not), postpone the spay...

    Do your cats have favorite toys?

    Socks doesnt as she's not very into toys. Izzy likes anything on a string, an old shoelace will do too. Mittens prefers rolled up sweaty socks to toys. Amber goes through stages, at the moment it is a blue owl with a feather on the top, she walks around the house meowing and carrying it. Teddy...
