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!

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...

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

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...

I have heard to get nonclumping litter. What do you prefer and why. Thanks!

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...

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...

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...

Hello, I just got a new kitten yesterday afternoon. My question is after the kitten does its business in the litter box is it best to clean it right away or leave it in there so the kitten knows where to go next time? She is approximately 11 weeks old. Thanks!

We just picked up a new kitten today. She was born on February 7, so that makes her almost 11 weeks old. She got out of the room we set up for her and is currently hiding under a chair in the living room. Epic failure keeping her contained in ONE room. I understand she is new to the...

Hello, We will be getting a kitten on Saturday and I am wondering if she will be ok as the only cat? The kitten comes from a home with multiple cats. I work from home and only leave for short periods of time, never for more than a few hours. I am hoping to do what is best for the kitten...

Good afternoon, My husband and I are getting a kitten within the next week or two. On the kitten's first days here should we keep her in her own separate room? I do think this is best but am wondering what people think and how to make her transition smoothly into our home. We have a 7 yr old...

Good morning, I am wondering since we have a two-story house if we should have 2 litter boxes, one for each level? We will be getting a kitten in the next 2 weeks. Thanks!

Hello, We just recently adopted 2 brother cats from the shelter on this past Monday.  Today one of the cats jumped on the bird cage.  My gut reaction is the bird is in danger and something needs to be done. Any advice?  Thanks.

Hello, We heat with a wood stove and that is why I ask how hot is too hot.  Our dog is used to the heat in the winter but I'm worried about the new cats.  I woke up late tonight and it was 89 in the house!  Needless to say I opened the windows and now its a more reasonable temp in here.  I will...

Hello, We adopted not one cat but 2 today.  They are brothers.  One is a grey tabby and the other is a regular striped tabby.  They seem to be adjusting well so far.  They like to hang around me.  I am wondering if there is anything we can do to make their adjustment to our household smoother...
