I just transitioned my girls off their kitten kibble onto their adult kibble and all was well except both are straining a bit to poop and there's been and increase in poops out if the box (i think from giving up partway through? Lol.) They are on a predominantly wet diet and just have kibs for...

One of my cats has started a new habit of wanting to ride around everywhere on my shoulder. Which in itself is fine, and sometimes she comes up to me and stands up on her back legs and asks to be picked up... ...and sometimes out of nowhere I get a cat leaping onto my back and grabbing on for...

When my kittens are locked up in my room they have started scratching the carpet by the door trying to get out. They mostly only do this when they know I'm home but not in there with them.  I've tried "no scratch" spray - doesn't work. I've tried taping down foil as I heard they don't like the...

I'm in the process of switching my girls onto wet food and went to get some options today to start trying with them.  So I'm reading the labels on all of the cans, and I pick one up and the third ingredient on the list is... bananas!? Can cats eat bananas? Are they good for them? I gave that...

I've had my kittens since they were six weeks old, and both are very social and friendly, but I've never done much "manhandling" of them. Miami is naturally very agreeable and will tolerate having her paws touched and squeezed (gently) and rubbed, and will let me look at her teeth and ears and...

When should I be switching my kittens to adult food? Vet says after they're spayed (planning to spay at 5.5 months).  I'm not sure if Cairo is too thin, or if Miami is getting fat, or both or neither, lol, so I'll post some pictures of them so you can see their body condition. Currently they...

This isn't really a behaviour thread... more of a DIY handyperson thread lol! I wasn't sure where to put it though so.  A week ago one of my close friends moved in with her 3 year old dog, to my one bedroom apartment (for the next 6 months). We fashioned a bedroom for her out of bookshelves...

One of my very good friends is going to be going through a breakup soon, and it will leave her with nowhere to live until her contract is up at her job in June (at which point she will move back to her hometown :( ) so I said that she could live with me for those few months. I have a one bedroom...

When I first brought my kittens home, a couple of my friends bought them collars as "kitten warming" gifts lol. They tried them on and they were MUCH too big lol, but they didn't seem to mind having them on. They wore them for about ten minutes under close supervision (they were 6 weeks old at...

I have a couple of kitten training questions. Just want to make sure I do it right! They're at an age now where they are starting to scratch stuff. They have two cardboard scratchers and I'm going to go get them some more (and a carpet one to see if they like that better) but how do I teach...

I'm going away for ten days in December, at which point the girls will be 13 weeks old. I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything, so here's my plans: - landlords (who are huge animal lovers and live right upstairs with five pets of their own) will be looking after the girls for me...

I haven`t vaccuumed since  the kittens came home but I really really need too, but I'm worried about panicking them. I  was thinking I'd put them in their carrier and put them in the bedroom while I do the main room, and then in the main room while I do the bedroom? Not really sure the best way...

:)  What age do you start leaving kittens loose in the house when you're gone/at night? Mine are 7 weeks old and currently they stay in a pen I built them when I'm not home/at night. The pen is pretty roomy and contains everything they need, and they can't get out of it (yet. lol). I'm mostly...

My 6 week old kittens are doing great, but as they get more comfortable they are starting to use me as a human climbing gym lol. This is funny and cute right now but I know in a few weeks when they are bigger (with bigger CLAWS) it won't be so funny. How do I discourage this behaviour, and do I...

Hi guys :).  I just became the owner of two 6 week old rescue kittens (too young to be away from mum, I know :( ). So far they seem to be doing well, but I just want some input to make sure I'm doing the right thing for them, or if there is anything else I can do that would be beneficial to...

Hi!  My name is Nina, and I've had cats all my life (Mum had two when i was born and there were never less than that in our house hold) so the hardest thing about moving out was being cat-less (my sister just started college and says the same thing lol) . In Aug I moved to my first pet-friendly...
