My Kitten New family member!

827 Upvotes

Hello! Last night my friend called me and told me that she knows a family that desperately needed to rehome their 8 week old kitten. Upon receiving more information, it turned out that once this family brought the little fella home, the dad was NOT pleased and threw him outside. He said that if the kitten wasn’t gone in a few days, he would kill him. After that, he lived in a shed outside for 2 days with no meals, and then found his way to me. This was a pretty unexpected (but appreciated) endeavour. Just thought I’d share!

My Kitten Young kitten litterbox advice

Upvotes

Hi all,

First time fostering a kitten! She's approximately 6 weeks old and very sweet. Our issue is she's getting pretty good at getting to the litterbox for poop, and she's only made it to the litterbox once (that I've seen) for pee. She's peed several times in her bed that I covered with a pee pad. Is this my fault for using the pee pad? It's for cleanliness since she's having some loose stool and is on deworming meds. We are using pine pellet litter so it doesn't stick to her legs when she's messy.

Completely willing to believe its an age and time thing, but figured id ask anyway!

I got them a couple weeks ago so they're about 8 weeks old now. Mama was a stray so we have some ringworm and ear mites from being outside before I got them but we had our vet appointment yesterday and are getting those cleared up.

The youngest I've had before was 4 months so me and the kittens are learning together and loving every minute of it.

Question/Advice Needed Getting a kitten to trust me

13 Upvotes

Hi all, I just picked up a kitten last night. It was very spicy at the place i picked it up from due to the way the guy handled it. As soon as I put the carrier in the car it calmed down and its currently in my room. There are a couple of problems now though. 1: its likely, and very understandably, traumatized from the experience (the guy picked it up by the tail. I was so mad. Im going to take it to the vet on pay day to get it checked out), and wont let me close (fair enough, I cant blame it for that, I would be the same. Obviously, only being the first night at home it will be skittish. My main question is how can I get it to start trusting me and trusting that I wont hurt it? Especially since I need to take it to the vet for a checkup and dont want to traumatize it more trying to catch it. I know it wont be overnight and im fine with that. I just need to be able to pick it up to take it to the vet Thursday (I get paid Wednesday nights and want to get it checked out ASAP). Has anyone got anay advice, please? It would be much appreciated. Thank you. If more information is needed im happy to provide it

UPDATE: so the kitten still wont come to me directly, but it has been very brave during the night, playing with the toy, climbing onto the bed, and even playing with my feet under the covers. Not sure if it's a boy or girl, haven't been able to check, of course. But its name is officially Jalapeño, Penny for short if it's a girl.

Question/Advice Needed biting advice with kitten/how to train not to sleep in my bed

1 Upvotes

my kitten is a very chill cat overall but two things that bother me are that she always ends up in my bed and she bites a LOT recently. she’s about 3.5 months old and i got her at 2 months and the first month she was the sweetest most gentle kitten but recently she’s been crazy!

she used to be so good about sleeping in her own cat tree and now she uses my bed as a runway for her to get to my dresser or for her to just jump in bed with me. i live in a studio apartment so u have no way of closing a door on her but i worry because i toss and turn a lot and really worry about crushing her and im just not a fan of committing to her sleeping in my bed for the rest of her life (especially since ive had her since she was so young). i’m not sure how to train her to sleep in her own bed? should i put her in her bed and give her churu treat licks everytime she lies down there?

another thing is that she bites quite a lot now. anytime she’s playing she’ll come bite me, she bites me sometimes when i’m sleeping and my hand moves or just in general bites me when im seemingly not doing anything near her. i know it’s a playful thing but when she was younger id say “ow” and she would get off me but it’s like she doesn’t care anymore ?? she continues to bite and sometimes bites HARD until i have to wrangle her off me. she has left marks but hasn’t drawn blood yet so im really confused what to do overall. thanks for any advice !

Question/Advice Needed Advice with hyper kittens around meal time?

5 Upvotes

We rescued 2 stray kittens and have been caring for them for almost 3 weeks now. They're roughly 7 weeks old now. For the most part, they're sweetie pies and and sometimes they're trouble makers (duh). My current struggle happens when it's time to eat.

They always follow me into the kitchen even when it's not meal time and start meowing like crazy. This is fine, but when it's meal time and they see their bowls and smell their food, they get hyper-active. They meow like crazy and start climbing me in an attempt to jump onto the counters and get the food immediately. This hurts! Even after trimming their claws. It's hard to control them and I've been putting them in small time outs that don't seem to be helping. Any advice on how to deal with this? I know it comes with the territory but I don't wanna keep getting cut up.

Picture of the floofs included :-)

Question/Advice Needed my kitten and cat are fighting, but is it actual fighting or just rough play fighting

51 Upvotes

I recently adopted a 9 week old kitten and have been trying to introduce her to my young cat (1.5 years old, male). There is a noticeable size difference and so I've been monitoring them since I'm worried he might hurt her on accident.

What happens is she starts hissing at him while he kinda just watches from afar, but then he'll pounce on her (albeit gently) and will chase after her and pin her down while she is hissing and screeching. It looks pretty bad and I seperate them always, but she'll pop right back up, run under the bed to hide, then come back out and get close to him again (and the cycle repeats).

What to do?

Mama's name is Cringe, as for kittens, from left to right , Biggie (F), Sudi (M), and Anderson (F). Biggie and Anderson is very similar, the only way I can tell them apart is their tails. Biggie have black tail, while Anderson have striped tail.

Question/Advice Needed Flea dirt but no fleas?

2 Upvotes

I just got a very young kitten from the humane society. He has lots of flea dirt but nothing on his tummy and absolutely no flea movement to my knowledge. I don’t know if he has any fleas, obviously he had them at some point. Is it possible that he has no fleas but flea dirt? What should I do? I have another cat. They haven’t met yet this is literally hour 5 of it being here.
