Cats and Kittens

genie18005 asked:


I have a 2 month old kitten which I haven’t vaccinated. But now that I have the money I would like to take it. I would like to be as prepared as possible before going to the vet. I don’t want the vet telling me the kitten needs shots that it actually doesn’t need. Please tell me which vaccinations it needs and the approximate cost of each shot. She’s an indoor kitten and seems pretty healthy.

I would appreciate your response. Thank you.

I just got a new kitten. She has been socialized with other cats, but not dogs. My dog really likes her, but the kitten still hisses at the dog. I have tried keeping them in separate rooms, and slowly introducing them, but the kitten won’t cooperate. They are sleeping in the same room only 3 feet away from each other, but if my dog gets any closer, the kitten gets scared. How do I get her to like my dog?

I just moved back into my parents house with my new kitten, she is 5 months old and not spayed yet. My parents already have a 4 year old male cat who is fixed. My kitten goes up to the cat and hisses and growls and tries to scratch the adult cat but the adult cat doesnt do anything. How can i get my cat to calm down and now hiss at the adult cat anymore?

I’ve had my 9month old kitten for about 10weeks now and she has settled in great. Next week I will be bringing home a new friend for her that is 9weeks old.
What is the best way to introduce them without overwhelming the baby kitten? Should I keep her in her carrier until my other cat gets her scent?
Should expect them to fight a little until she settles in?

Hello, my gf and I just picked up a 8 week old kitten today. The living condition of the house we got her from was less than clean, all the kittens were in a large enclosed dog crate and 5 adult cats living there too. When we first saw her she had some discharge from her eyes, and was breathing kinda fast. After we got her home we relized that she had fleas, not that bad, but enough to scare me. So we got the only shampoo that was ok for any age cat. She still has most of the fleas. Anyways, she was sprinting around the house and being a kitten all night so I kinda think that she isnt as bad health wise than I thought. But when she slept for about an hour next to me she had so much gunk in her right (our left) eye she couldn’t open it. It was green and slimey. So I read that I can use saline solution as temp help. Is this ok till monday or so? Also, her breathing seems normal, but how fast should it really be? Shes very active but hasn’t really eaten, drank, or went to the bathroom in 7 or so hours.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

My new kitten loves to play but she has started hiding her toys under the bed. Also anything she finds that she wants to keep, she hides under there. There are no other cats in the house so i don’t know who shes hiding them from!

A few months ago I found 2 kittens in my grandmothers backyard & ever since I’ve been feeding ‘em & they’ve pretty much made the back yard their home. The other day I found another kitten back there & for some reason they dont like him. Every time the kitten runs up to play with ‘em they’ll hiss, how can I get the 2 kittens to accept the new kitten? or should I just leave things the way they are? & What are some possible reasons as to why the kittens don’t like the new kitten?

I have a 4 month old kitten who is very spoiled, and you can tell she’s already somewhat possessive of me. I recently went to an animal shelter where I found a brother and sister kitten who are 8 weeks old that I would like to adopt. Any ideas on how to introduce two new kittens to an older kitten? She’s not that much older than them, but she is a bit of a drama queen, and was somewhat aggressive to one of my friend’s kittens one time when he brought the kitten to my apartment.
