The kittens we rescued are now 5 mos old. They still are getting adult teeth in and still have some kitten teeth. But I am concerned their gums are already varying degrees of red. I am working on getting them used to tooth brushing. I started with one of the boys and he did great till the brush...

We have a lot of strays here as well and I may also be looking to alternatives to our canned food as well. I am going to go through a mail order place to get our name brand first for awhile. It does cost a fortune to feed the strays. I would also suggest you make sure there is a water bowl out...

We have cleaned as best as we can, but we are talking about a cat who sometimes would not use her box at all. I spent hundreds of dollars on her trying to do different things to stop the issue and constant vet visits. There are probably places she went we did not find. There are probably places...

So I have heard the general rule is minimum one box per cat. But could one go with less than that if you have litter mates who are used to sharing everything since they were little? Especially if we were willing to scoop twice a day instead of the usual once a day. We could end up with all...

I have not done my own grinding yet but was looking into it about two years ago. I would have to see if I can find my old notes, but from what I recall, you need a more industrial one than the one you posted the link for. I think the ones which had been recommended to me by someone who does this...

What a wonderful story, thanks for sharing. How did you ever get her to sit in a seat belt?! Please share your secret! She looks so content. And the sweater too, how cute! I once put a red bow around my, then young, Ragdoll for a Christmas card photo. It was only on for about 10 minutes but...

One of our previous cats was very naughty and pee'd out of the box a lot. We took great pains to clean her spots as best as possible but I am sure a sensitive kitty nose could pick up old leftover odors. We are planning on moving in a couple of years and were thinking of replacing the carpet...

I have also heard it is best the Mom be almost done nursing and in the process of weaning the kittens. If not, she will be full of milk and could get mastitis. It is very painful and a dangerous condition if not taken care of. Any human Mom who has nursed knows of what I speak even if she has...

Any suggestions on what kind of milk treat to get? We like to go as natural as possible. I don' t know if they are getting any fur . It is possible they get a few fake tiny hairs of it like when they groom themselves. At least most of the day they are not doing this. I move them to something...

All three of our other cats gave "massages" too but I have never had one suckle. I feel like the ones that are have something missing in their development. In an ideal world, I would have left them with their Mom till they were fully weaned. But when you rescue kittens, that option is not open...

As a background, we rescued kittens which are now about 17 weeks old. They were around 9 to 10 weeks old when we got them from their mom. They lived in our backyard so we could observe often and could tell she was weaning them. They were already coming to the door with her to eat solid food. She...

Are there other cats or pets in the household? No, not now. My last cat died in 2013. If not, then let them out. If you have two floors, perhaps get a baby gate between the floors and let them begin by exploring just one floor. We do have two floors but the gate we have is at the top of...

The kittens we rescued early Aug are ready to be introduced to the rest of the house. They have been confined to one room all this time. Due to them being semi-feral and the family taking a vacation, we have not yet let them loose in the rest of the house. We have brought them out and sat one at...
