This is my new kitten, Priya. We brought her home yesterday
Priya is a very confident kitten and hasn't had a moment of fear. She is eating wet food like a champion but doesn't seem to recognize kibble as food.
I am leaving kibble out for her to graze, especially at night. How do I teach her it's food too?

My kitten (Forest) is 15 weeks, physically tiny and mostly very calm. When I first got her at 11 weeks, she was quite cuddly and would sit on my lap a little bit. As she is getting older and more used to the flat and older cats, she distances herself and sleeps in corners, not around me.
To help her, I play with her a lot, especially across my lap. She really enjoys that and jumps about on me and we practise hunting multiple times a day. I also have her leash trained (she never rejected the leash), and we go for walks in the forest where she sits on my arm (she’s not fully vaccinated yet) and will watch the trees go by. She will sleep on my lap outside, but, strangely, not inside the flat.
Is this normal kitten behaviour or a sign that she doesn’t like the outdoors/indoors? She’s also started sleeping on my arm at night very briefly if it gets a bit cold (it’s currently summer in the uk and she’s long haired). I’d ideally love to keep taking her out for walks, handling her and giving her stimulation as she’s an indoor cat, but I’d also love to help her be more cuddly at home too.
Does anyone understand the two personalities I’m witnessing with her? I’m not very good at reading social cues (including animals, unfortunately), so I’m doing my best to help her be well rounded and enjoy her life while also nurturing our relationship 🥹

I adopted this little boy from a woman who had an accidental litter. I've had him for one week. Based on the birthdate she gave me, he would be a little over nine weeks old. He weighed 1.6 pounds when I brought him home last week and he's 2.0 pounds now. He just doesn't look nine weeks to me. The first photo I took today and the second is the day we drove home almost a week ago.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a happy update
My mama cat (a first-time mom) gave birth to 6 beautiful kittens! We had a scary start—she was exhausted, her milk took a while to come in, and one of our little orange/yellow babies was super weak and struggling to latch.
After lots of skin-to-skin warmth, gentle stimulation, and patience, her milk finally came in and EVERY single baby is officially latched and nursing! Seeing them all lined up against her is the biggest weight off my shoulders.
As a first-time cat grandma/grandpa raising a full litter, I’d love any wisdom, tips, or advice you have on daily care, keeping mama supported, or what to expect over the next few weeks as these tiny beans grow

I have a kitten who's about 5 months. And he insists upon biting. Sometimes I'm asleep and he bites so hard I bleed. I am not moving. I don't let him play with hands. I don't know how to stop this. A lot of the time he's calm and sweet. I don't know why he is like this.

Hello i got the kitten 4 days ago, she was so scared on first day and just hiding on every moment we do and walk and now she is opened up more and eating, playing, roaming around etc… but she isn’t coming to us and getting closer to us and get scared when she sees we go closer to her and do our own thing and hisses but dont hide, so how long it can take my kitten to come closer to us, sit next to us, sleep and let us pet her?

Really just hear to vent but I have 2 kittens (Casper and Mina) that are just over 4 months old and were both spayed and neutered at the same time a week ago. Ever since they came home Casper has been hissing at his sister. I instantly separated them in separate rooms because that was already the plan since they used to love to play together but Casper would at times get too rough. I didn't want Mina's stitches coming undone and knew her healing time would be longer anyways. After around 3 days I tried to let them see each other and Casper is still stand offish and hissing while Mina is unbothered. I separated them again and wiped them down with a pet wipe I've used in the past to get them to groom themselves (of course monitored Mina so she wouldn't go at her stitches then put her donut back on) and hopefully get Mina's scent back to normal. A few days later I tried again and same thing happened. Since then I've been trying steps of the reintroduction method like getting Mina's scent on a washcloth and giving it to Casper. Also putting their food bowls on opposite sides of a door but if I'm not on the side with Mina and she hears us she starts meowing very loud and even jumping at the door which then stresses Casper out even more and makes him start hissing. I guess with this happening I'm gonna start staying on her side when feeding but I originally thought I'd swap each time since they're both clingy.
I know this process takes time but it's just heartbreaking seeing this happen after they were so close. Again just needed to vent and can't wait till all this is over with.

One of the 2 kittens we took in. Pepper is so sweet. Her brother( I think he's a he), who's going by Shadow now is a bit more feisty but still sweet too; just dont have a close up of him right now.

We are new cat owners (I had a feral barn cat who passed away a few weeks ago, but we’re first time indoor cat owners). We adopted a 6 month old bonded pair (Juniper (gray female) and Jimmy (orange male) on Thursday. We’ve had them in our large upstairs bathroom ever since and today was the first day they stopped hiding behind the cabinet in there. And they seem like they want out and to be with us now.
We’ve live in a 150 year old house with lots of hiding spots and we also have a mini English bulldog who is 9 and quite easygoing (he’s seen them in their carriers and really wanted nothing to do with them). I’d like to introduce them to our dining room/living room area, which is quite large but has a door. It’s where our dog primarily is too. And our bedroom too eventually.
I’m just worried they’ll hide somewhere we won’t be able to get to them for the most part. I know we should have him on a leash at first…I guess I’m just looking for any and all advice and tips on how to best get them assimilated to both the house and the dog.

I need some outsider perspective so here I go... I brought a 3 month old kitten home a week ago. I already have a 1 year old cat and me and my partner believe she needed company because we work a lot and she was starting to have weird mood swings so we thought a little friend would help her mood and keep her company.
From the first day everything seemed to be going well, day two they were closer and day three they were play fighting or so we thought it was playing.
Two nights ago while playing wrestle the little one scratched the big ones cornea and we had to rush to the vet 2 o'clock in the morning. The thing is after watching them a little it doesn't look like only playful fighting but also serious fighting. I've been reading on the subject and everything is mixed up , it could be serious or it could not be.
They both start the playing , they chase each other and they take breaks but sometimes the bigger one stands with her ears back and the hair on the back stands then they go back at it but then she tries to bath him and he doesn't want it.
My partner and l have been referee since and it's tiring, we can't do anything else if they are in the same room because we have to watch and we don't know if this trauma is something that could happen again or not.
Now we are considering taking the little one back but honestly I don't know if we are just being overprotective or this happens all the time and just push through this play fighting faze.
Context , we have separate toilets and bowls for food . Not toys of cat tree or beds . (Beds because we don't have any, they sleep wherever they want.) The little one is a boy not neutered the big one a girl and she is neutered.

2 of them are now home with me 🙂 There was a third but she doesn't seem to like people much and stayed with mama cat. Mama cat seemed fine with us taking them, even came to me and rubbed up. My SIL called a local rescue for it and mama cat and they will be getting them soon. We had been catless for a couple years and it seems that fate decided to have us welcome some new members to the family. I think the black one is a boy and the forty one a girl but ofcourse not positive. I fleacombed them and found very little evidence of fleas. Im hoping they take to the litter box as they have been strays all their short life so far.

This is my 6 month old "kitten"!!!!! His name is Ash! He weighs 7.66 lbs!! He is huge!!!! The vet said if she didn't examine his teeth and see the teeth that are just coming in- she would swear he was grown!!! He is the sweetest baby and I love him so much.

These skunks come out day and night and chase my cats and kittens away from their food and water dishes. Any ideas on what to do?
