How to choose the right kitten from a shelter?

June 17th, 2010 by Two-Legs

I really like the personality of Russian Blues, but since I can’t get one from a shelter, I’ll have to adopt a mixed kitten.

So, my question is: Since most of the kittens in shelters are muts, how am I to determine its personality (obviously not by breed)?

What will it be like as an adult cat?

I need an affectonate, calm, loyal cat, a cat that can be my best pal.

Bringing a new kitten into our home with an exsisting kitten?

June 16th, 2010 by Two-Legs

We have a four month old female kitten. She has shown signs of being lonely bc my boyfriend goes to school in the morning, spends the afternoon with her, and goes to work until about 10 or 11 at night. I can only usually come over for about an hour during the week and I am there alot during the weekend. She tears up toilet paper and paper towels why we arent there, and whines for attention when we are there. So we decided it was time to get her a friend. It just so happened that our friend had kittens she was giving away. We picked a female kitten that is two months old. We kept our old kitten upstairs and set the new one up downstairs. Everytime we let them meet they hiss at each other but only when they get close. The old kitten is more aggressive and the kitten doesnt seem to care. I know that the older kitten is just scared that she will be replaced. Is there anything we can do to better the situation? Any tips?

How do I get my kitten to get along with my boyfriend?

June 15th, 2010 by Two-Legs

My kitten who is 6 months old, doesn’t seem to like my boyfriend. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him or me? My kitten has been with me since is was just a few weeks old.
my boyfriend loves the cat, but everytime he comes around Tommy Boy runs and hides or trys to bite or scratch him. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him. I don’t think Tommy Boy likes men in general.

June 9th, 2010 by Two-Legs

I want a kitten or a small cat I think my house is big enough cause its a medium townhouse. Im really responceable, I have a small dog so if i got a kitten they could play together.
The kitten would mostly stay up stairs unless it needed to eat.
Thanks.

How do I get our kitten to stop going to the bathroom behind our couch and into the litter box?

June 8th, 2010 by Two-Legs

We have two adult female cats and we had just brought in a kitten. The other two cats go in the litter box, but the kitten always wants to go behind our couch and love seat all of the time. How is the best way to get her to stop going there and start going in the litter box?
My wife takes her and the poo to the litter box, to show her where to go but it seems not to work very well.
