Do you think there is something wrong with my kitten?

Sun, May 11th 2008, 15:09 GMT

Three weeks ago I brought home a male kitten (Noel) and a female kitten (Samhain). I was told when i got them they were 8 wks old. When I got home I called to find out if they were brother and sister and i found out that actually they weren't.. they were like long long distant cousins. The female was 8 wks and Noel (male) was 7 wks. When I got them they were pretty much the same size. Couldn't tell a difference. These last few days I have been noticing that Samhain (female-older one) doesn't really have any of that "baby kitten fuzzy fur" and getting a slick shiny black coat. She is becoming more broad and looks more cat than kitten (even tho obviously she is still small). Noel (male--1 wk younger) still has that fuzzy kitten looking coat, a bit of that new kitty scrawny look (not underweight) and when he used to be the same size of Samhain is about an inch to inch and a half in length shorter. A week ago they were the same size Should I be worried?

She is in fine health otherwise, playful,eating fine and there is no redness, itching or scaling on her ears. Should I take her to the vet?

Hi all I do not own a cat but my neighbor has really p---ed me off today. She has a approx 8 month old female kitten who is in heat and because the cat in out looking for a male she don't want her in the house any more. So when I asked her what she will do with her she said drop her off on the side of a road some where. I was stunned, she said she can't afford to get her fixed and she don't want a pregnant cat and she wont keep her inside ,so she must go. I called my mom and she said she will take her in, so when I went to tell the lady she didnt say nothing. I am at the point that if my mom comes Thursday to visit and I can catch the kitten I am going to give her to her any ways. The poor kitten is so hungry and all I had was dry puppy kibble but she gobbled it down so fast and ran away. It is going to rain here tonight and all I can think about is the kitten.I will talk to her again tomorrow about my mom taking her. I just wanted to share with you all and ask for advice. Tina

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION AND I DO NOT WANT THE NORMAL FLAK ABOUT NETURING - if you would like a kitten get a hold of me. But, am tired of my postings and others being answered by "do gooders" who offer nothing but flak and condemn me without knowing the entire story. I am in Washington and I will not ship a kitten, but if you live here there are $15.00 each and I do deliver. I will take any kitten back or once they are grown a full grown cat back that you have received from me for any reason. I have guides that will help in the raising of your kitty as well as a gallon of dry kitty food per kitty and 1 small can of cat food per kitty.

I brought a feral kitten home. Would a distended belly mean worms?

Sun, May 11th 2008, 01:13 GMT

She is about 4-5 weeks and was fed in the wild. She eats hard food and occasionally I give her wet food. She is very energetic and sociable already, but her belly isbig. Is this probably just her eating alot?

Is there helpful hints with catster/dogster groups?

Sat, May 10th 2008, 11:41 GMT

My family are in lots of different groups but we used to be in alot more before but then we quit some of them but we don't get online much. Is there an easier way to manage your group visiting without quitting so nobody gets hurt? Any advice?

My Cat has what looks like a split nail thats a bit bloody and kind of smells....

Sat, May 10th 2008, 06:56 GMT

Ive noticed that my cat had blood on her paw and when i looked closer i noticed that her nail seemed almost split with it permanently pointed upwards like she got it caught on something. She's constantly licking it and keepin it clean but theres a slight smell to it. It almost seems as tho the nail cound be pulled off since its split right to the tip but i dont want to just in case. It doesnt seem to be interfering in her everyday life but she wont scratch her ear with that paw. There's no limp tho, so what should i do?

Update to a question about being overprotective

Sat, May 10th 2008, 03:07 GMT

I wrote a question yesterday about me being too overprotective about letting my cat Elvira go outside. Well I hadn't really decided yet.. but the area I live in I dont feel too safe. She does have a bring pink reflective collar (break away too) in case. Well last night i noticed my front door was left open and Elvira was missing. I looked in her typical bush hiding spot and she wasnt there. I didn't worry too much figured she'd come back and went to be. At 4am I heard a cat fight outside and my dog inside barking. Went outside and heard/saw nothing. Checked the bushes again. Then saw her on my driveway I called to her but she just walked away. Haven't seen her since. Now I'm starting to panic but hoping she'll come back. I put food/water on the porch step incase she comes back hungry/thirsty and i miss her. Any hopeful words?

How long after your cat has passed away is it ok to get another 1 without feeling you are replacing the 1 you've lost?

Sat, May 10th 2008, 01:54 GMT

Both my cats passed away after heart problems and the end was very difficult. I'm still grieving them but feel like I can share my life with another cat, how long should I wait?

i have 3 adult indoor cats - 1 female and 2 male. there is an adult male stray that my human is thinking of taking in.

Sat, May 10th 2008, 01:31 GMT

but he has been fighting with other cats. she will have to have him tested for leukemia & something else before she brings him in. since she is at the vet she will go ahead & have him neutered (if he already isn't) regardless of test results. all of these plans she has yet it wasn't even 2 yrs ago that she brought sport in as a kitten and i became neurotic and aggressive. it was a month before she could put us in the same room. scarlet takes my lead as to acceptance or not and i have no idea as to how sport would react to a full grown male cat being introduced into the home. (we three cats have always been indoor cats, all of us fixed and none of us have ever been in a cat fight). is my human looking for a miracle thinking the four of us might be able to eventualy live peacefully under one roof-not separated by rooms with a cat that has been in fights and will no longer be allowed to go outside if she should choose to keep him?
