I met Pickles, a four week old kitten, at a volunteer appreciation luncheon at my local shelter. Her foster brought her in for a few minutes for some exposure and socialization. I even got to hold her in her blanket bundle! She was so small, it was unbelievable.

The foster told me "she likes you" which was a very dangerous thing for me to hear! Haha! She was found alone with no mom or siblings around. She's currently being fed every two hours. I hope I see her again!

Hello everyone. I have a 5 month old Bengal Maine coon mix. More on the Bengal side. She just turned 5 months. I am trying to find the right balance of wet and dry food for a good budget ratio. I tried a few different wet foods and she seems to be ok with Purina pro plan kitten wet food. I also have her on the kitten Purina One kibble. She is on the skinny side but not unhealthy.

I leave the kibble out all day and I feed her one can a day (try). I've tried feeding different times throughout the day. My dilemma here is she does not always finish all the wet food and I end up having to throw it out. She eats all her dry food though and she finishes by grazing through out the day. I leave out about 1/3 cup of dry food which she finishes around 8pm

So naturally I tried different feeding times leaving only kibble from 9-7, adding less so she gets hungry etc but she still only eats a bit of the wet food. I also tried mutiple different wet food specifically for kittens. She hates Fancy feast kitten wet food won't even lick it, I tried blue buffalo, Tiki cat, viva la kitty and all the same she only eats a bit, maybe half a can in the day sometimes 3/4, sometimes a full can but it's not consistent then won't eat the refrigerated food the next day unless it's fresh.

This method gets costly if she is only eating half. So my question is do you have any kitten food recommendations or strategies that worked for your picky eater?

I just adopted these babies. They are only 2 mos. They are underweight. They are eating kibble but not the e high cal wet food the vet recommended. We are going to try some high cal gel the vet recommended. Do you all have any treat recommendations?

I’m a new cat owner and have 6 month old bonded pair. Do you use collars on your indoor cats? And if so which ones? Despite their insistence I don’t plan on letting them outside (one day we’ll get a catico) but I’m just so worried they’ll slip out by accident one day and I live in the woods. I’m hyper vigilant about the doors, but we do have a dog I have to let out 4/5 times per day and I’m just a worrier by nature.

What do you do or what do you recommend?

Hi! I found a stray kitten today. Based on his teeth, how old do you guys think he is? I have a vet appt scheduled for the end of this week. In the meantime, I purchased kitten formula for 0-6 weeks and 4-8 weeks but unsure of which one he needs right now.

Ok so about a week and a half ago I adopted two 4 week old sister kittens and I’m going through it. This is my first time ever having to take care of cats so I always find myself extremely anxious and on edge. My biggest fear is that they will grow up to be aggressive cats but I know that I’m just overthinking this a lot so u could say I’m here for some advice and emotional support 😭

So for the most part they’re good right except sometimes during feeding time they will start fighting each other not like full blown but will growl try to scratch each other and I get really worried about this. I try to separate them and the food for a second before they can go back it agin which ig does calm them down but just thinking about it makes me idk sad??

Secondly one of them keeps trying to bite me , so not all the time but she keeps coming towards my fingers and licks me first then bites. Now they’re not very hard bites but I’m so scared she’s never going to grow out of it. Whenever she does that I pick her up and get her off my lap she comes over again and this happens continuously then I am forced to end the interaction and put them in their kitten room that I have at my house cuz she won’t stop. And before anyone says anything about how to discourage this behaviour I have tried everything I can from making a high pitch noise when she does that redirecting her to toys but she just doesn’t listen and It is giving me anxiety cuz I feel like I’m a bad cat mom. I also feel like the biting has increased. Also I have never used my hands to play with them.

I would like to hear from people who adopted 2 kittens who also shared maybe a similar experience and whether it’s going to be ok and they’ll grow out of it and just idk give me some hope cuz rn I feel so overstimulated by them and my thoughts about constantly thinking bout them.

Edit: they were 4 weeks when they were taken away from their mother and that was 3 weeks ago. Sorry for the miscalculation
