As others have said -- no judgement if you need to return the kitten. If it's not the right fit, there's nothing wrong with that and as you said, he's at the age where he'll easily be adopted again by someone else. But it sounds to me like that's not the case. You sound exactly like me when I...

Update: Found my handheld laser pointer last night and tried it out, and it worked wonders! Nita went bananas and actually seemed a bit tired by the end of it. Wohoo! I can't believe it was that simple -- I thought for sure they were over laser pointers since they hadn't been interested in the...

Lots of good suggestions so far! I would also add -- you said she likes looking out the windows. If you have a good window to do it on that she particularly likes, you could consider getting one of those suction cup platforms/beds that go onto windows to give her a comfy, up-close viewing spot...

Such a cutie! I agree that it sounds like boredom, so maybe try to up your daily play time with her or try some new types of toys, as others have suggested. But I specifically wanted to comment on the sheets because one of mine LOVES to play with my bedsheets, and I've always been surprised by...

Thanks for the ideas so far everyone! I feel a bit better at least knowing I'm not alone in this problem LOL. @KarenKat your Gohan and Trin sound exactly like my two! I think that's also part of the issue, that Kit is just all over the toy immediately while Nita likes to stalk a bit before going...

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice on how to make sure both of my cats, Kit and Nita, are getting what they need out of play time with me. They're almost two years old now so still very young and energetic! My main problem is that Nita has SO much energy and I can never seem to get her...

Thanks for the suggestions, keika and LTS3! Doing something elevated a bit with spacers does seem like the way to go. Excellent point about using the velcro dots as spacers, that's a great idea! That will also make it so it's easy to take off and put back on again, if I ever do need to. I'll...

Hi all! I installed a new window AC unit over the weekend and have an unexpected problem with it...my kitties keep on accidentally turning it on/off and changing the settings! :lol: The buttons are all touch buttons on the top of the unit, and whenever one of them jumps up on it, they end up...

Thanks so much for the suggestions, everyone! Sorry for the delayed reply -- Nita was spayed on Friday so I've had my hands full making sure the adorable little scamp doesn't overdo the playing during recovery! Her brother Kit is not helping in that regard. :lol: But she's doing very well. I...

Hi everyone! I have two kittens who are almost 6 months old. I have a lot of toys they love playing with when I'm home to play with or supervise them (they go nuts for da bird!), but I'm cautious (maybe overly so) about leaving out anything with string or small plastic parts when I'm gone; I...

No, I wasn't treating it with anything before I took her to the vet and they took the sample. So if the final results come back negative it should mean that it's really not ringworm, and must be something else.

Well, it's been a bit over two weeks since the sample for the culture was taken, and we STILL have no final results. I talked to the vet today, and surprisingly, all the partial results we have in so far are negative for ringworm! The vet said that though it's possible the final result could...

Update: Over the past few days the rash has gotten a bit bigger and raised. Other than that, things were still the same -- didn't seem to be bothering her at all -- up until last night. Last night I saw her scratching it for the first time, but was unfortunately too late to stop her from...

Ugh, I hope it's not ringworm, I know that can be hard to get rid of since it's so infectious! I'm hopeful it's not because the records the shelter gave me indicate they've been on steady doses of dewormer since the end of December, continued by my vet after I adopted them. (Though I don't know...

Hello everyone! About a month ago, I adopted two kittens from a shelter. A few days ago I noticed a small red bump on the shoulder of the girl (Nita) and have been keeping an eye on it. At first I thought that maybe her brother Kit had bitten her a little too hard while they were playing (I...
