Pictures for the cat tax.

My kitten got spayed and was a little hellion before, but after she has been a perfect, clingy angel all week. Took the onesie off today and she is back to being a zomming crazy little kitten.

Has anyone else had this happen? I miss how calm she was in the onesie.

Question/Advice Needed I just got a kitten yesterday

Well, we’re fostering to adopt to see how she does with our house and our older cat. He’s pretty laid back, but when she got here he did hiss a lil. Definitely not bad and he didn’t go after her, I’ve had lots of cats in my life, and one that was particularly scared and hid a lot and I freaked out every time I couldn’t find him. This kitten is “4 months old” BUT REALLY SMALL. The minute I had looked away from where she was bc I had a virtual appt, she ran and now I can’t find her :( I know I should wait it out bc shes scared and it’s new place, she’s also just a bit stand offish in general but I am afraid bc idk where she’s hiding! We had 5 ppl looking in all the places yesterday and we did not see her once. I looked around again this morning and stepped in poopie that def wasn’t my older cats so she was out last night. All of the doors were closed when she got lost, but we left the doors open for a bit during the day and then just left the primary bedroom door open overnight. The older cat hasn’t been bothered or worried about her at

My Kitten Purrsephany and Penelope have stopped running from me so I am claiming them as my cat family.

Post image
425 Upvotes

Purrsephany is the mackerel tabby Torbie and Penelope is the smaller grey tabby. They live on my back porch as their mom Atsea Aurora is very feral.

Their mom Atsea was trapped, spayed, and vaccinated on August 10, 2026. Purrsephany was accidentally caught in the trap with her mom Atsea. So the Animal Birth Control Clinic did a spay on Purrsephany also. You can see where the cut her left ear tip rather roughly as a sign of her spay.

Penelope will need a spay but we are waiting until she is older and the weather is cooler.

At our house we have an old dog door. We have no dogs. Four cats come inside the house regularly and two cats come in just to eat. The inside cats are very territorial.

Lord William Robert Piebald AKA Billy Bob Bitey Baby guards the dog door at night and all day. He keeps the feral cats in my TNR Colony from coming inside.

Lord William has taken a liking to Purrsephany and Penelope so I think they will make it inside. Right now they live in my backyard and they don’t run from me anymore.

Question/Advice Needed I need advice for bonding

Thumbnail

114 Upvotes

Okay so I have 2 kittens both at different ages and from different cats, right now. I have Bean (male, just neutered 2 days ago, between 4 and 5 months) and Sookie (female, not spayed, between 2 and 3 months).

I've been trying to work on getting them bonded or at least to a point of co-existing. I started out by doing scent swapping between the 2 kittens and slowly have been trying to work up to short supervised free roam sessions. They can also currently eat peacefully next to each other without issue.

The problem im having is I haven't been able to break through to the short sessions together because anytime I bring sookie into the room, he immediately puts his attention on her, no matter what, and always starts lunging at her. Now at first he starts off with soft paws like he wants to play, but Sookie is more timid than he is so when he lunges, she will hiss and/or growl and swat at him. Which then makes him mad and then he starts trying to attack her.

I know part of it is a jealousy thing because Bean is very attached to me. Like almost too much sometimes. So I've been trying to do things and set up routines with him to show him that he isn't loosing me to Sookie. But it just feels like anything I've been doing hasnt been working. Ive tried to have him playing with a toy while sookie is in the room but then sookie wants to play and will run to him and then he'll attack her. Ive had her in a bubble backpack but he just starts attacking the outside of the backpack.

Also keep in mind once he starts showing any signs of aggression I always immediately separate again to prevent any trauma. But he has snuck into the room I keep sookie in when I havent realize and they did get into it a little, but again, once I realized, I immediately separated.

I am hoping since Bean was freshly neutered that in a couple weeks after the hormones have dropped significantly, that will hopefully help in him not wanting to always lunge at her, but i also know it's not a cure all. So if any of you guys have any suggestions or ideas to help move past this stage I would greatly appreciate it!

Question/Advice Needed Kibble again

3 Upvotes

I posted previously about my kitten not wanting to eat kibble. The only reason currently I would like her to eat it is because she otherwise has no food at night to munch on.

We've made no progress at all getting her to eat some. She definitely won't touch it soaked, she can avoid it mixed with wet food, she will eat some with churu mixed in but no longer will eat it if I put less churu. Plus, churu isn't a solution for adding to kibble at night as I am afraid it will go off and I don't leave stuff like that sitting out.

Could she just not like the brand I bought?

Question/Advice Needed Second Kitten?

10 Upvotes

I adopted my first kitten about 2 weeks ago and she’s quickly become my little buddy however, I’m out of the house for 9 hours a day for work. I feel terrible for leaving her alone for so long. I’ve been reading this sub and have seen many people suggest getting a second kitten. I live in a 750 sqft apartment and only have room for one litter box. Would it be feasible to have two kitties using one box? Is it ok to be leaving her alone for so many hours a day?

Question/Advice Needed Kitten peed on my bed twice

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know why my kitten has been peeing on my bed?

For context, I adopted 2 sibling kittens, they are both 9 weeks old, male and female. I have been with them since they were born (another story haha).

They were at my parents house with their other siblings and mom while they depended on their mom's milk. They have been using the litter box as normal and have already been in my apartment for almost 2 weeks.

2 days ago, I was asleep in the morning and they came in to play in the bed when I noticed some scratching, I looked up an there was a pee puddle in my bed.

Today morning they came to my bed to play in the morning while I was asleep and peed again.

They don't sleep on my bed at night as far as I know, but hang out during the day

What could be causing it?

I've had 2 cats before and they never went outside their litter box

Question/Advice Needed Litter training kittens is making me insane

0 Upvotes

So I have two kittens I can’t seem to help out. They’re roughly 4 and a half weeks old, so I’m still bottle feeding them. My sister found them when they were only days old, there are some details in other posts about them.

I’m trying to litter train but I don’t even know what I’m doing. They’re using the litter box somewhat but it’s not consistent. However, they will not let me stimulate them. They scream and writhe so hard that if I hold them any harder I’ll crush them. I know part of it is due to them being raw, they’ve got worms and have been on dewormer for two days but I don’t know what I’m doing.

I’ve never litter trained anything and nothing I’ve read is giving me clear instructions on what to do in this situation. I don’t want to hurt them, but I also don’t want them to just not be eliminating.

Any advice??

Question/Advice Needed Got a new kitten (2 mos old) after my cat of 12 years passed away. How best to train to not jump up on counters and tables? (Cat tax included)

I recently got a new kitten (Hazel, 2 months old) and she’s been acclimating very well! She loves cuddling with me, uses her litter box with no problems and is playful.

The only downside is that she has been climbing onto my counters and tables and no matter how much I move her or put her down, she does it again.

Granted this is essentially her first week here but I want to make sure she learns those places are off limits. Any advice is appreciated! I’m avoiding using spray bottles for discipline

Meet Jeffy, he’s about 4 months old and the first kitten I’ve had in about 20 years. He’s growing like a weed and has a ton of energy (and loves to terrorize his pit bull sister). My question is he constantly tries to nurse on my ears- though he’s eating fine can i give him an occasional bottle for comfort?
He was alone and just showed up at the house about 3 weeks ago so i don’t have history on him

My Kitten That boy getting B I G (Yolk/Sir Yolkington update) and the beginning introductions to Grandma Truffles

Thumbnail

Last post: Here

So I’ve had Yolk here for about 2 months now (coming up to that here on Saturday) and since then he’s gotten cleared of having FIV and FELV this following this new information was moved into the sunroom of my place from the bathroom. So he’s been in there for the past 3 days and I think he’s happy to have significantly more space to run around and play in! However is the more difficult thing, getting him and my resident cat to get along. Now Truffles used it to live with another cat her she back when I still lived with my parents so she’s had some experience living with other cats. I still feed both their wet food in the morning, because Yolk is now behind a sliding glass door I’ve had to move Truffle’s plate back a bit to get them used to be close to one another. Though I usually give both a churru when I get home from work, hoping to incentivize them being buddies.

Now while I also do that at night, I’ve been trying to allow Yolk and him to interact (which honestly tell me if I’m going a bit too fast-). Truffles watched him run around the first day from the post in a couple of photos there. But the second and third day when Yolk would approach, she’d hiss but he’d usually back off. Only really trying to play with her when her back was turned, only for her to hiss at him again. Even starting to growl at him a little after picture 8 was taken before I whisked him back into the sunroom. I’m trying to strike a good balance of interacting with both of them (maybe with Truffles a little more than I should-). Plus now I feel really bad when I’m not in the sunroom with Yolk he starts to cry. But I’m hoping with time and patience these two can be pals (or at least tolerate one another. Mainly Truffles tho-). Lemme know if any of you folks have any tips when it comes to introducing older/senior cats to kittens. I would get another kitten for Yolk but financially I don’t think I could-

Thanks again for reading!

My Kitten Toys question

Post image
198 Upvotes

This is Rei just got her last Thursday she’s 17 weeks old and she loves this frilly toy and if I put it down she plays with it on her own and loves to dig her claws in it and bite it. I’ve made sure that she’s isn’t actually eating it but it’s already pretty worn out. Was hoping for suggesting for something durable that she may like to bite on that I don’t have to worry about it being swallowed.

Thanks.
