    Chewing on metal chair?

    So my girl, Jack, is a year old now.  Lately, she's taken to chewing on this metal chair I have.  She's actually trying to gnaw the metal frame.  Should I worry?

    Gettin' snipped!

    Yep....all 3 are getting spayed/neutered next week. What should I expect afterwards?  Do I need to keep the split apart?  I have a large dog crate that they slept in when they were tiny, I also have a couple of small carriers.  Do I need to use them until they heal? And does anyone have any...

    Fresh Pet Select Cat Food

    My kittens eat mostly raw foods, but I also feed canned and occasionally high quality dry food (just so they are not so finicky on times when raw is momentarily out of reach).  So I'm always on the lookout for interesting new foods.  I saw this brand at Target in the fridge.   Ingredients list...

    What to do w/ feral kittens

    So, my 3 kittens are ones I took in when they were 1 day old from a feral cat.  They are now 4 months old and thriving indoors.  But now, my neighbor said that the same feral mom has 2 kittens again!  They look to be around 2 months old.  They are active and playing.  We tried unsuccessfully in...

    Kittens Sleeping a lot

    And I mean...a lot.  They're eating normal, and have had a few bursts of energy (like in the morning when I'm trying to sleep  LOL  they were bouncing off the walls!).  Then the past 2 days, all 3 of them (they are 3 months old) have been in deep sleep a lot.  Could it be growth spurts?    They...

    Naughty kitten!!

    Ok, so I have the 2 male kittens, and 1 female rescued when they were a day old.  They are going to be 3 months next week.  Last night (and maybe one other occasion), we caught one of the males biting and holding his sister by the neck, and humping!  Pulled him off, and sure enough, his penis...

    Kittens in warm house

    So our AC is on the fritz, and while we wait for our replacement parts, we've been living in 88 degree temps in the house.  We have fans everywhere, and although windows are open, there is absolutely no wind. Our 3 3-month old kittens are panting.  And not playing as much.  Of course if us...

    Always seem ravenous

    We survived our week away with the kittens!!  They did grow in a week!  We did allow them to be with the dogs.  The dogs were in the kitchen behind a baby gate, while the kittens could run in and out of it.  I have a feeling the kittens kicked my lab out of her bed so they could sleep in it  LOL...

    Going on vacation for a week....

    So we are going on vacation for a week in about 2 weeks.  Our 3 kittens will be 9 or 10 weeks by then.  Right now, they are out of their cage more than in it.. At night, they are definitely in their cage.  We also have 2 dogs -- a 70lb lab, and a 35lb beagle mix All 3 are getting along...

    Food aggression

    When the kittens are drinking their milk, they have no aggression with each other.  But when it comes to meat, that's a different story. We were giving pea-sized chicken pieces before.  But now we have been giving them whole pieces to chew, rip, and tear.  When one finishes, he starts to sniff...

    Diarrhea when adding a new raw food

    My kittens have been eating raw chicken for a couple of weeks now (I just up'd their intake), and so I introduced rabbit to the 3 kittens the other day.  I bought a bag of Primal rabbit nuggets.  They gobbled it down!! My question is that we've fed it twice now, and yesterday, all 3 had...

    Raw food digestion

    How long does it normally take to digest the raw pieces? Since a couple of my 3 6-week old kittens have thrown up their chicken meals within an hour, I lowered the amount I give them.  I mistakenly would feed them 1oz in one meal, and they gobble every bit of it up...but only to throw it up...

    Kitty vomitted the raw chicken again

    So yesterday, Blue threw up his meal of raw chicken.  He's 5 weeks old, and they've all been eating raw chicken once a day for the past week with no problems.  With the help from other members, we are guessing that yesterday's throw up might have been because I was a couple of hours late feeding...

    Bones for kittens

    So all 3 or our 5-week-old kittens are taking to the raw chicken pieces extremely well.  They can eat up to 2 oz in one sitting!  I chose to chop them up into pea-sized pieces.  I've mixed in some liver pieces as well every other day.  They are weaned from the bottle, but do still take around...

    4 week old lost weight (1oz)

    So Jack, who's had a few health issues, lost an ounce since yesterday.  Some background....When she was a week and a half old, she had diarrhea.  Vet gave probiotics, problem fixed.  A week after that, we thought she aspirated some milk.  Vet took a listen, lungs were clear, but gave us some...

    Is switching from KMR powder to GNC powder ok?

    So Petsmart keeps running out of KMR powder...apparently another person has been buying it up quickly (probably because of the sale on KMR powder that Petsmart has had the past week or so).  So tonight, for lack of any other options and because I'm totally out of the powder at home, I got a can...

    Where to begin?

    So I've been reading up on nutrition for my 3 1/2 week old kittens.  The raw diet sounds interesting, but it seems so daunting at the start.  Should I start with the high end wet foods first for weaning, then introduce raw?  Or start raw from the weaning stage? I have to find a good meat...

    Spitting up clear liquid, might be mucous

    My 3 week old kitten sneezes and sometimes spits up clear liquid (she's done it maybe 3 times).  Not sure if it's vomit or mucous.  It sometimes has a few bubbles in it, but not quite foamy. She had a history of aspirating some milk when she was 2 weeks old.  She sneezed a lot of it out.  But I...
