It'll be fine. I would also say not to respond to his biting, just calmly take away the maimed limb and get out a fishing rod toy for him.

I have to second getting a fishing rod toy. My two adore them. I have to hide them away when I'm tired though (!) because they will bring it back to me if I put it down. Young cats have the energy of a four year old after 4 packs of haribo and they never seem to get tired. I would always...

How old is Mog and is he neutered?

This is the best stage of cat ownership imo. When my two were tiny they were completely mad. Actually, they're still tiny and mad. Anyway, enjoy this stage because once it's gone it's gone and there really is nothing funnier than two kittens playing. Yes you'll lose some sleep, but kitten...

My love of cats started when I was a teenager and we got Josie, a little black and white cat. I liked her at first but I didn't really get cats, as we'd only had a dog when I was little. One day Josie was unsupervised in my room - none of us knew we needed to watch her, she was only maybe 5...

All cats are weird. Sasha enjoys jumping in the bath (empty) and then just bounce around madly for a few seconds. Then she just jumps out and dashes away. We call Scamp troll cat because he likes to sit in front of closed doors, looking at you like he wants to go through it. When you get up...

I love all the nicknames and their stories. We have a lot too because there's four of us to make them up. Scamp gets Scampuss, Scampi, El Scamporio or So Scamporino because I can see him being puss in boots. Scamper, which he does a fair bit. Death of Mousies. He likes to bring us presents...

Thanks Cyndi. I knew in theory that kittens teeth but didn't know when and whether it would be painful. I've got three month old kittens right now and I wonder if that's why they're inappropriately chewing. It's not a serious issue at the moment but now I know to keep an eye on it and how to...

It's probably irritating at first but I imagine hearing it on the TV might prepare a cat for a human baby. I bet real babies are pretty irritating for a cat. Milo is currently purring in my ear while either grooming or eating my hair which is a bit distracting. Mine are instantly captivated by...

My partner and I are housesharing and there was already three adult males here - Scamp, Ripple and Louie. I've wanted my own cats since forever. When my partner´s friend said her cat was pregnant and she couldn't keep them we decided to get one. It turned out she had three (tiny cat, first...

You could dye the carpet I imagine.

Definitely don't try to grab her. You could try a trail of kitten treats or a toy, or you could just sit quietly with her or read something out loud. Depends how you feel.

Congratulations on your new fur friends. I hope they live long, happy lives with you. And we come, from a fellow newbie.

I'd agree with the other posters, do take both if you can persuade your husband. They'll keep one another company and since the mum is still young she'll still play a bit with her baby. A shy kitten like you describe may find it really difficult to settle into a home with no other cats. Two...

What a gorgeous little kitty. I love her colouring.

Thank you. Well, Sasha is a demure little princess, her white ruff makes me wonder whether we should have called her Queen Elizabeth. Milo is a cuddly little box of purrs, or, depending on how he feels, a tiny basket of claws. I did toy with the idea of calling him The Claw but my partner shot...

It is amazing how quickly some kittens get taken. I just wish it was the same for older cats. I certainly would take in an older cat myself if we had the space and the money. Our (i love them like they were my own) elder cats are absolute sweethearts.

That boils my blood.  My housemates got all their cats from rescue centres.  Our two were from a friend's cat's accidental litter, they would have gone to a shelter if we hadn't taken them.  Thankfully I completely fell head over heels in love and would have taken the other kitten if she hadn't...

So he does.  You're so lucky, they are just gorgeous :-D

My partner and I call it Kitten Combat.  It really is great fun to watch. Tangerine and Mango really do look alike, I think you might find yourself having trouble telling them apart.  I love ginger kitties, I've never met a nasty one.  I hope they settle in really quickly.
