HELP! 10 WEEK OLD KITTEN! NEED URGENT ADVICE
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2019 7:49 pm
Hi Everyone,
Just after a little advice please as it may be me thinking to much into it but I would rather be better safe than sorry.
I have had cats for over 20 years and never experience anything like this before!
I have recently got a new kitten she is 10 weeks old. I have 2 male cats 1 that is neutered and one that is now booked in for the 18th October as there wasn't any sooner appointments his previous owner did not have him neutured and I have booked 2 previous appointments to get him neutered and he's managed to escape.
My concern is that the other cats play with her and surprised how good they are together already I do not leave them together unattended as it has only been 2 days. The unneutured male is 4 years old and I have had him for 3 months.
He keeps following the little one around and miaows at her and she at times growls and hisses at him which she does not do with the others. He will follow her to the food and water and also to the litter trays and crys if he can't see her he does sniff her bottom alot and miaows when she turns away shes fits in my hand. he is so big compared to her. When I tell him to stop he runs away but within seconds he's back again!
Due to how little time I have had her it might be he's curious? wants to play? am I just over thinking into this? I will still get him done ASAP but I just want to see whether this is the signs of mating because if it is I will not let them be in the same room as each other till the appointments..
He only does this with the kitten as well.
Before anyone says I should of got him neutured first I did not plan on getting another kitten. Me and some neighbours were getting worried about a house that was empty found a group of kittens in appalling conditions and had to put things over our mouth as it was so bad. There was 10 kittens altogether and I found good homes for of them other than this little girl I could not leave her there and did not want her to go to anywhere I couldn't check up on how she was doing. As I am very careful about who kittens go to.
My cats as I said get on well but I am concerned he may be trying to mate with her even through she is only 10 weeks old and so small.
I have always had all my cats neutered by 4-5 months so I have never had this problem or witnessed this problem!
I am debating on going to another vets to see if I can get him in any sooner because I dont know if I can wait till the 18th October
