Agatha recently turned 5 months old on the 22nd!! I got her when she was 7 weeks old and I feel I practically birthed her 😭 she doesn’t actively look for cuddles but is always in the same room as someone and needs attention constantly.
she rules this house and my heart, she has been such a great help for my mental health this past months and I am so grateful to have her on my side <3

Question/Advice Needed What should I do with them?

I work at a car workshop, and this stray cat that wanders around seems to have given birth among some of our inventory

They're peeing and pooping on new car parts so they definitely can't stay there

I see two paths with their various pros and cons

Path 1:

Put the cats in a box near where I found them and wait for the mom to come take them

Pros: they get back to their mom

Cons: people in my country do NOT like cats and the stray isn't the kind of stray you pet, it's the kind of stray you see but once you get close it runs off and vanishes

They will be stray cats in a country with no love for stray cats

Path 2:

Some workers live at the workshop and like cats and want to take care of them

Pros: they get care and get to live calmer, easier lives

Possible office cats? 🄹

Cons: maybe the mom will be heartbroken? There might also be some mistakes along the way, like someone feeding them regular milk (I read youre not meant to do that? Never owned a cat). Though one of these coworkers owns cats

I know I sound very biased to one of these paths lol, but still, any advice? Suggestions? Secret third paths? Thanks in advance!

Question/Advice Needed 3 month old kitten is ā€œtoo clingyā€.

Post image
155 Upvotes

I know how the title sounds but please listen to what I have to say. I don’t know if anyone else has ever dealt with something like this but I’m at a loss. My one year old tortie had 3 kittens in July of this year (yes, she’s fixed now). Two girls and a boy. All 3 of them have been incredible kittens and I’m so so happy with them. Here’s where my dilemma is. The only male in the litter is SUPER attached to me. That’s not the part that bothers me. What bothers me is when he wants to cuddle. He’s absolutely relentless about it. One example is he refused to let me sleep one night because he wanted to cuddle. I let him cuddle with me but he wasn’t satisfied with it. He wanted to nearly suffocate me to death because he wants to be so close to me. Next example is when I’m at my desk and need to do something he crawls across my computer, climbs on my shoulder, cries, gets in my face and he just won’t stop. I’ve tried everything. Putting him down, closing him out of the room (he cries and panics) and nothing I do deters him. I do have my moments where I don’t want to cuddle him. He’s not satisfied with just my lap. He wants to be in my arms or on my chest. I realize that he’s just a baby but he’s never been denied anything in his life and I’m not sure if I created a problem. I’ve been there for him and his sisters since they were born but I’ve had their father since he was born also and he’s never been as clingy as his own son is. What do I do about this when I can’t have him clinging so tightly to or trying to sleep. I spend hours just trying to pacify him. I’m stubborn to a fault and that doesn’t work. What do I do?

I noticed this very recently. Millie does this ear motion only when I pet her on the head during snuggles. She doesn't seem bothered at all, so what might it mean? Is it a natural response to her ears being touched?

She is Kiki, she was one of my first cats, she was very spoiled but that's how we loved her. I had her since 2022 and she passed away this year on Mother's Day. I made her a makeshift gravestone with a leaf.She used to carry leaves and leave them at my front door; there came a point where I couldn't walk without stepping on one. I really miss her doing that.

My Kitten Newly adopted 8-week old kittens

Meet Ricky Martin and Bento!

These guys ended up in my backyard, and I was finally able to catch them yesterday and bring them inside. I think they're around 8 weeks. It was important to us to bring them in (even more than usual), because one of them has a deformed paw (ectrodactyly) and certainly wouldn't last long in the wild .

They partied all night in the bathroom, exploring and playing before finally getting some sleep.

I went in this morning to give them their breakfast and try to interact, and they're still very scared (understandable, it's been less than 24 hours). Some hissing took place. One kitten was braver and came out to eat before the other one.

I predict this is going to be a fun, frustrating, and cute journey with them! Hopefully each day they'll trust us more and more and start to interact, but I'm not rushing or pushing anything. (I would like to get them socialized enough to be picked up so that I can bring them to they vet.)

Is it just me or does the boy on the left(my kitten) look GIGANTIC in comparison to his siblings, atleast to his other ginger brother. Maybe it’s just the angle but i swear he looks huge. The black girly is also mine and looking not that small either

My 2 kittens were playing on the stairway.

One of my kittens came back after 2 hours.

But my other kitten I'm unable to find anywhere.

Its mother is also searching. But no luck.

I searched almost around the 200m radius of my house and all the places it could hide. But no luck.

It's like 3 month kitten.

Help. How do I find it?

Question/Advice Needed kitten

10 Upvotes

so my friend’s friend’s cat has just given birth to 4 kittens and her parents want the kittens out before they turn two weeks old. i’ve never taken care of kittens before but i’m planning to take one of them. i’ve done lots of research and am getting whatever they’ll need to put in a playpen for the time being. i’ve seen lots of people talk abt single kitten syndrome so im wondering, is it a bad idea to get just the one kitten? of course i’d play with it lots and take care of it well since i’ll be home a lot now. but i know that’s not always enough for kittens

update: i realise how stupid i was not to first check how old kittens need to be before separating them from the mother. i got the news yesterday and kept researching today and found out kittens need to be at least 8 weeks minimum and need to be taught by their mother. my friend and i have also discussed it and we’ve realised the risks of separating the kittens that young. unfortunately, the owner of the mother cat seems set on sending them away so i’m really hoping no one will take be selfish and take the kittens. thanks for the responses!

Question/Advice Needed New kitten is so skinny and eats so little

6 Upvotes

Just got a 9 month old, she’s been on kitten kibble at the shelter. She’s quite skinny so I was excited to tackle her food needs, find what she likes, get her on wet food and get some weight on her. But she unfortunately doesn’t really eat much. Even of her old kibble. It looks so dry and gross and she drinks so much water on the side. So I’ve been trying to slowly mix in wet food but even just a little bit and she’s not touching it.
She loves churus, and she LOVES greenies, but it’s not like I can give her only those. I’ve also tried hiding a greenie in her food and she’ll have a little more that way but then just push it around until she finds the greenie so still nowhere near enough. I’ve also tried to give her wet food separately and she’s had more than usual but even then just a few bites. I’ve tried three different ones so far, one she liked more so I think I’ll just keep trying that?

Also she keeps trying to bury her food like it smells bad or something. But actually she does the same with the water she’s knocked it over twice now lol I should get her a heavier bowl.

I have a cat already that’s pretty picky but he’s got a good weight, he always eats enough. She’s still in her starter room BTW, they haven’t met yet. So yeah, she’s way different from my old cat I’ve never met one so bad at eating yet so skinny. I’m taking her to the vet to get her last ear mite treatment in a week so I’ll bring this up then, but is there anything else I can try in the meantime?
