Re: Clingy cat

7 or 8 weeks is very young, ideal age for a kitten to go to a new home is 12 weeks. That may explain her clingyness. Also at just over 1 she's very young and has lots of energy. Does she have access to outside, other people when you're at work / uni? Or is she on her own quite a bit? Would another ...

Re: Clingy cat

She's just a few months older than one now and was 7 or 8 weeks when we got her, and I stayed with her for the first few weeks downstairs in the room we gave to her while she settled in

Clingy cat

So my cat, Gizmo, follows me everywhere I go in the house, she has to be with me as much as she can. If doors are closed she scratches and meows until she opens it or it gets opened. She can't find me she meows until I respond and comes to find me. If I'm away for the night she goes mad and meows un...

I'm just wondering what kind of behavioural thing this may be, me and my cat were staring into each others eye (trying to get up but she's just too pretty ) and her pupils dilated then shrunk and carried on doing it?does anyone know why?

Re: Cat foood!

I'm unsure of 2/3 cats weight as it's my youngest that was taken to the vets for a check up and she came in at 4.3k, 3 months prior she was 3.7kg :shock: I had been feeding all 3 on the same amount which is okay for my biggest who should be 4-4.5kg but has left the other two a tad larger. I'm not to...

Cat foood!

Hey, So my cats are over weight (made a feeding mistake :( feel pretty bad) and they eat Kitecat, while trying to find the feeding guide i saw that it's only 4% meat! What food you all give your cats? We have 3 cats and no requirements, we spend £3 on 6 tins usually which is 6 days food but I can't ...

Re: young cat biting

thanks for the replies guys, It seems to be a playful loving nibble? always on my chin and she's always purring loudly without going too hard but she does open as wide as she can for the bite and it's only me, Could this be because I'm seen as her "mum"? I feed her, she follows my commands...

young cat biting

My cat gets in very cuddly purry moods where she rubs against me and demands to be cuddled and get under the covers to cuddle me, I honestly don't mind at all, but last night she rubbed up on my chin purring then started biting it. She does the same if i sing or make noises when i'm lying down but w...

Re: Rescue kitten as a friend for my youngest?

I'm realy hoping that happens like that with gizmo, just have no idea how the kitten will be sleeping/where cause I don't want to ruin gizmos schedule we have together for bed and make her feel left out. But I'm sure the kitten wouldn't be happy on her own in the front room each night :/ not sure ho...

Re: Rescue kitten as a friend for my youngest?

I'd never seen a litter of 8 before the poor cat! As for the vet bills as well, all vaccinations are £50 in total at my vets practice for their first ones as well as money off neutering which we got for Gizmo when we got her lost October, she was so tiny and is still really small so I'm just hoping ...

At the moment I have 3 cats, Felix - 11 yo, Domino - 8 yo and Gizmo who just turned one. My friend has found and rescued and mother and her 8 kittens and has offered us one and I'd love to rehome a cat. Money wise we are not rich by any means but we can afford the kitten and the injections, neuterin...
