What is the easiest way to catch a kitten?

June 19th, 2010 by Two-Legs

There is this kitten that lives somewhere in my backyard. My dad leaves food out on the porch for the kitten to eat but now that it’s winter, the food freezes before the kitten can eat it. We want to try and catch it so we can take it to the vet and then give it a home so it doesn’t die in the snow.

How do I gat a kitten to eat solid food?

June 18th, 2010 by Two-Legs

I have a 6 week old kitten and she turns her nose up to any kind of food but moms milk. She sniffs it and trys to bury it like it’s cat litter. I had a litter before her and both kittens did the same..They were 7 to 8 weeks old before they would touch solid food and I had to mix solid with can (cat food) gravy. I have a home for this lil girl and the new owners are ready for her but I dont want to send her to her new home with her not eating dry food. What can I do?

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.

Monty the Diabetic Cat

June 17th, 2010 by Two-Legs

At the age of 9 1/2 Monty was diagnosed with diabetes. Because he was otherwise so healthy, and because I am a nurse and I know people can live happy and healthy lives with diabetes I decided to treat and medicate Monty rather than have him put down. Now, with careful monitoring, Monty is happy and healthy. He does have his ups and downs but his condition is controlled and I wouldn’t be without him for the world. He’ll always be my baby. Please enjoy. I hope you find this interesting and educational. This is my first attempt at a movie and I decided to make a clip of my lovely boy Monty who is a black burmese cross cat.

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?
