Hey! My cat had kittens and this one is missing a name since I want it to fit him good. 😅 His father has Maine coon in him and I’m surprised how much this guy looks like one. I think his color is called blue smoky?

Question/Advice Needed Any tips on being less anxious with a new kitten?

This may sound silly but i am unreasonably nervous that something bad is going to happen to our new kitten and I wanted to know if any other cat parents struggle with the same anxiety and how they combat it. My bf and I just adopted our little angel Aurora about a month ago. She is 2lbs of love and playfulness. I've grown up having cats my entire life but this is the first one I adopted while living away from my parents place. My bf has a very sweet cat who is really stuggling to adjust to the new kitten, shes not aggressive but avoidant. I am completing my degree and working part time all from home, so she is rarely if ever fully alone. Ever since we got her my mind races over scary thoughts like she's going to get stuck somewhere or choke on something. Even running down to grab a package from the ground floor of our apartment my heart pounds with worry that something bad will happen to her. She's 3 months old now and beginning her adventurous stage. I'm sorry if this sounds ridiculous but I just wanted to know if anyone else has felt the same way and how they manage those worries.

I would like to know how old my kitten is since we just rescued her from the road. She's been always sweet and nice since then but I just want to know her approximate age if possible. Thank you so much in advance.

Question/Advice Needed What do I do about toe biting?

I’m assuming this is not something he’ll grow out of, rather something I’ll. Red to work on correcting but what’s the best way to approach it? Especially definitely being playful but it hurts 😭 and we don’t need him thinking it’s okay to bite, I understand he may be teething he has plenty of toys and stuff to chew on and stimulate himself for that relief so I’m just not sure, if anyone knows or has trained this out before let me know what to work on! I’m not in a rush it doesn’t irritate me or anything I know he’s a baby and still learning , I just don’t want to set him up. Usually I just put shoes on to avoid him biting my toes😪

She started meowing in a very different tone a few days back and always keeps rolling around.

She's around 6-8 months old.

Question/Advice Needed Meet Fario the half wanted kitten!

Post image

It's a rather long story so I'll make it short. This little guy was at the shelter too long. He was set to be put to sleep Friday at noon.. at 9:59 in the morning I showed up without consulting with my husband and adopted him. It was love at first sight for both me and him.

Now my husband is making me pick between him ( the kitten) and Fry who I've had 4 years who I call my divorce kitty because my last husband wouldn't let me have a cat.

We have a total of 4 cats now counting the new kitten. I'm so torn. My heart hurts. I don't want to give up Fry or Fario the kitten.. my husband won't budge. 3 cats is his limit. I have 2 weeks to decide. During this time, he won't spend time bonding with Fario because he doesn't want to get attached to an animal we might get rid of. He won't look at him. Won't pet him. This is a shit show. Any one have any sound advice? Yes, I know I brought this on myself. I should of asked first. But, what is done is done.

Question/Advice Needed Is my cat Oliver (m 1yr 3 months) and my kitten Anakin (~9 Weeks) fighting or playing?

Hey all, My Fiancée and I moved to a new home with our two cats and We’ve been trying to take the process introducing them slowly but every once in a while one of them will sneak in or out of the kitten’s territory (the Master Bathroom and Closet). While we don’t hear any hissing or yowling it seems like the combination of the sounds and the aggressive playing and pouncing could be a result of: A) Anakin, the kitten, wanting to play and since Oliver is bigger and stronger that he becomes scared and more aggressive B) Territorial Aggression because it is a new home and Oliver is still in the process of claiming it. We have the feliway spray and both Oliver and Anakin feel comfortable in the home. We’ve moved past the hiding and being scared part of the move. C) Oliver trying to be friendly with Anakin and since Anakin wants to play and still is in the process of learning what level of roughness to play at, leaves Oliver agitated.

Any help is appreciated and thank you all! We love them both very very much.

Question/Advice Needed How can I make my five week old kitten better at pooping ;-;

Thumbnail

540 Upvotes

She’s a pro at the litter box when it comes to peeing, we plop her down and she goes. With pooping, it tends to be a mess. She’s still on formula (starting on step 2 formula today) and her poop is healthy but she tends to not be able to get it all out so she accidentally sits on it and drags it around in the litter box resulting in a messy tail and belly. I’ve been thinking of adding some fiber powder to her formula to thicken up her stool, but I wanted to hear some other thoughts 💖

Question/Advice Needed I want to understand something about my 2 months old kitten

Post image

(I don't have a decent picture of her so.. here an old photo 😭🙏)

I need answers. So, we have this 2 months old kitten, on the 21st she turns 3 months old, and we had her when she was 1 month! She's super affectionate and playful. So, I'm 15 and I'm practically growing her up, feeding her and trying to make her learn things, she's almost always with me, but i noticed something: When my mother or my father pet her, she let them do it, while when I try, she lowers her head or hunches over, not letting me touch her and instead bites me. I know she do it playfully, but still, I wanna know why them and not me? In the morning, she goes to my mother and starts to purr while when I try she immediately bites me. She does it because she thinks I'm her "mother" (technically I'm supposed to be a father but I don't think cats care about that🙂) and she knows she can bite me and whatever without me getting mad, or she does it because she's getting more attached to my parents then me? (I admit it, it makes me kinda jealous)
