Question & Answer! (Cats) | Forum profile

If you have someone that can help you, it's easiest to have one person cradle them while the other clips. Otherwise, just work with them as best you can even if it means doing a few toes at a time. As for treats, plain cooked chicken is great but you can try getting some good organic cat treats too. Try to stay away from the your normal name brand ones, they are full of junk and really bad for their stomachs at this age.

Ok, thanks. I was gonna hold out for a while to change their food, but today after a poo that stunk up the whole house I decided to start the change over - I just put a few bits of the new food in, and they went straight to those bits, so thats a good start. Are they too young to have a raw chicken wing?

It takes a while to get over bad food. I had a group early last year that had been fed litterally junk food, bologna and other sandwhich meat. I had a horrible time with those guys. Kittens bond fast but keep in mind that for the most part they also seperate easy when they are adopted.

I have both a male and a female who do that, and have had others in the past. I have had to conclude that it is not related to marking exactly, it's just something they do, a posture, when they are communicating.

We first saw them as little furry hamsters around August 20th and then they were moved somewhere else in the yard and then we removed them on September 7th. Im not as familiar with the growth of kittens so I'm not sure how long it takes for them to go from birth to fuzzy hamster? Maybe you could narrow down approx. birth?

At 5 months, it's likely they aren't false positives. You can test them again in about 3-4 weeks, but I'll wager they'll still be positive. If so, try your best to have the mother caught and tested (oh, and spayed would be great!).

My Niele is 18 years old and I found one of her claws on the scratching mat and then I found one on the carpet I have found three in total and I'm wondering if this is serious or just something that happens when they get older. Can anyone help me with an answer? Mahalo kokua, Sam

If it's just the outer shell of the claw, it's nothing to worry about. If it's the actual claw, as in the entire claw, root to tip, that has been pulled from the cat, then you should see a vet. But I'm guessing it's just the outer shell, yes? If so, yes, that's normal.
