    Wondering about breed(s)

    Good evening, We have a male 2.5 year old black and white cat and have been wondering about his lineage. He is quite vocal and is pretty big. Thanks!

    Another cat?

    Good afternoon. We currently have 2 cats, one neutered 2.5 year old male and one spayed 7 month old female. The male is black and white medium hair, said to be a Maine Coon mix. The female is a domestic shorthair mix and is a tortoiseshell color. We are thinking of adding to our cat family. The...

    Male kitten and male cat?

    Getting antsy to pick one out! I think the lady we are getting one from said at 4 weeks one could be chosen. I don't remember now if she said 4 or 5 weeks old. LOL. They will be 4 weeks old on Monday.

    Male kitten and male cat?

    Hey all. We will get the kitten in the first week of October :) as there was a litter born this past Monday. Here in Maine kittens have to be at least 56 days (8 weeks) old to go to new homes. We have not picked one yet but I will definitely give you all the details when we know more. The...

    Male kitten and male cat?

    Good evening, We have a 1.5 year old resident male cat and he was neutered before reaching sexual maturity. Would we be able to bring in a male kitten to live with us or would it be better to bring in a female? Thanks

    Do cats need a buddy of their own kind?

    I think the dogs and cat misread each other. So, its not a one way street.

    Do cats need a buddy of their own kind?

    Good morning, I know this is likely a loaded question. We have 2 dogs and they try to play together with the cat, but I think they misread signals between the species. Does the cat need a feline playmate? He is about 5 months old and neutered and is still very much a kitten. Thanks for any...

    Kitten Wants To Be Held All The Time

    Hello, We got a kitten last Saturday, so about a week ago, and she wants to be held by me all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love it but I think she needs to learn to be alone sometimes. She cries when she is not held. How can I help her to adjust to not being held all the time? I work...

    Flea Prevention For Kittens Under 1.5 Pounds But At Least 8 Wks

    Good afternoon, Our kitten is about 11 weeks old but we have been told she was the runt and I am not sure if she is 1.5 pounds yet. (Vet appt. coming soon) Is there a flea/tick prevention that is safe if a kitten is not 1.5 pounds? The Frontline Plus I have says they must be at least 8 weeks...

    Kitten already expecting kittens!!!

    I just found this thread and have to say this would have been a difficult decision for me as well. I have been called a "bleeding heart" and if in the same shoes I don't think I could have aborted the kittens either. We had a cat when I was a little girl that my parents found as a stray...

    Is It Possible To Spoil A Kitten?

    She is 11 weeks old. We just got her on Saturday. I think she is missing her mama and siblings too. Right now she is playing. So, she can have alone time. She just meows a lot first thing in the morning.

    Is It Possible To Spoil A Kitten?

    Hello, I have been holding my kitten quite a bit and wondered if it is possible to spoil her? I don't mind it and would rather she be social than the opposite. The problem comes when I can't hold her...I do work from home and can take breaks frequently but I also need to be productive. Thanks...
