I have two 4.5 month old kittens. They are due to get spayed and neutered at the end of August. Two days ago the female starts meowing. In the back of my head I wondered why but didnt think too much about it. Well today we caught her brother trying to mate with her. We separated them immediately...
I keep waiting for my kittens eyes to change colour as Ive heard that cats cant have brown eyes. I haven't seen any colour change in several weeks and they appear to me to have brown eyes. Mom has green/yellow eyes. Anyone else have a cat with brown eyes? Will they eventually change? They are...
He doesnt have the brown I see in most tabby’s, and has a slightly fainter undercoat, does that make him a silver tabby? Or a dilute black tabby? Also is he going to be long or short haired? He is 12 weeks old. Thanks in advance!
Im not sure how to describe my kitten. Is she a dilute calico? Dilute torbie? Regular torbie? Her sister had very similar colouring but had black instead of greys. Also, is she likely to be a long or short hair? She is 12 weeks old here. Thanks!
I just wanted to share a picture of my new cats. We fostered recently and kept Mama and two of her seven kittens. Does anyone else have cats from one family? It is not my first time fostering but is my first time keeping fosters. It’s a really fun experience and I love having been able to...
I am fostering a Momma Cat and her kittens. Since I’ve had Momma she has had soft stools. We had her parasite tested and it was negative. We put her on probiotics which helped a bit but she still isn’t 100%. She is currently eating Royal Canin Kitten food (dry and canned). This is what the...
I am fostering a Mom and 7 kittens. In about 1.5 weeks 5 of the kittens will be going back to the shelter to get adopted out (I am keeping her and two kittens.). How can I ease them slowly into the separation? The kitttens are 7 weeks old and still nursing. Earlier today we brought them...
I need help naming this cat! To give a little history she is the Mama to some foster babies. We are keeping two babies and it looks like we are keeping her too now. She is very sweet, calm, confident, and a wonderful Mama. The kittens we named Shadow and Sage, and I have a dog named Suki. I...
Some shots from this evening. The first flowers of spring (and my kitten’s first time being outside). Who want to share their cats and flowers photos? :)
We are fostering a mom and 7 kittens. We are keeping two kittens for sure. We are considering keeping the mom. I am wondering what the likelihood of her getting along with her kittens as they become adults are? We are keeping a boy and a girl kitten. Would three cats make an imbalance? Or...
I will be adopting two littens who are littermates. I had planned to adopt a girl and a boy because Ive just always heard the opposite genders get along best. I’m wondering how true this is? Would two females get along equally well? I’ve picked out one female for sure, and now am torn between...
They look pretty fluffy to me but Ive read that looks can be deceiving! I “fluffed up” their hair to give a better idea of it’s length. Can anyone take a guess? (Please excuse the messy playroom in the background!)
ive got some fosters, currently 5 weeks old, and we are keeping two of them. Id like them to get used to a harness/leash so I can take them outdoors. When would be the best time to introduce them, and what is the best type? TIA!!
Im just curious if anyone on here has kept a mom and her kitten together, and when the kitten weaned itself (completely) from mom? I know generally people say they wean at 8 weeks, but is this the natural weaning time or is it more humans intervening so they can adopt the kittens out?
Hey,
I recently took home a foster momma and her 7 kittens. Ive fostered in the oast but always small litters. These kittens are just starting to use the litter box but are super messy! Sometimes they poop in the box, sometimes near it, and other times nowhere near it lol. Also, the litter box...
My foster kittens all have very interesting coats. Most are sort of this black smoke (I think), then there is this little girl who appears to be some sort of calico, but her coat is very faded. On her head there is some “smoke” fur (dark tips and light roots) then on her back some of the fur is...
Is this kitten considered a black smoke? I was reading about cat coats and it seems to be smoke, but then also read that usually only happens with purebred cats. Most of my foster kittens have this type of coat. The two girls have some orange in it too.
Yesterday I brought home a foster cat and 7 kittens. Her kittens are quite different in size. 4 are quite large (13oz or so) and three are quite a bit smaller (6-7 oz). The smaller ones also seem a bit behind developmentally. I was curious to know if the smaller cats are going to stay smaller...
Hello,
I adopted a stray cat who was pergnant and recently had a miscarraige. I was wondering how long will she continue to act pregnant for? She still is uber affectionate, eating like crazy, and showing nesting behavior. Is it possible she is still pregnant? There is no ultrasond at my vet...
