I own alot of cats and have a mother cat that recently gave birth to 6 healthy kittens. My question is will after keeping previous litters of her kittens, will she hate me and feel emptiness from loss, if I give her now weined kittens to a no kill shelter? Maybe I shouldn't care but I feel that if I do this, she will change be
different.... This is my worry, I would rather raise and kittens than hurt her......
If any one has givin kittens from mother cats they have owned , Please tell me how she might react to losing her litter........ Thank You if you respond.......

She also buried some plastic gloves I had set out for the cat sitter to use when I was gone, her litter scoop, and other things in the litter box when I had been gone for a couple of days. Has anyone had this type of experience?

My bestfriend's cousin has been going through some health problems lately, and has been suffering serious depression. She has let her home go to the extreme extent, and I know it bothers her. She has tried to clean and organize many times, and it somehow piles up on her again.

She takes in stray cats, and has an indoor dog. The cats have made such a mess of her home. Some use the litter box and other go ALL over the floor, on the couch, kitchen counter, even the stove! :*( She loves the cats and will not get rid of them.

Her floor is so soiled, the beige carpet is now med-dark brown with filth. The cats walk on this, get it on there paws and walk all over the counters and leave nasty paw prints, everywhere. Her dog gets into the trash and spreads it all over. Her cats urinate and poo all over her place, on bags and boxes. She is in a rut, and can't seem to keep everything clean.

Any advice, how to you clean this extreme filth?

It's instinct but what evolutionary advantage does having this instinct provide the cat? Does it help the cat build up momentum like a pitcher winding up? Or is it just nervous energy?

Ya i noticed this morning that my cat's face was parcially swollen. And, I noticed that pus was coming out. Could it be from a sting? Is it something that I should really be worried about? It doesn't seem to be affecting her though.

A little while ago, I asked an animal shelter if they had kittens and how old were they before they could be adopted. I was looking for a 6-8 weeks old kitten (yes, I know all the debate on it needing time with it's mommy but we wanted one young because 1) they're cuter and 2) we wanted to train him and get him used to us early)) anyways, they told us that they didn't let kittens go until 6 months of age? What I don't understand is why? There is a reason why people adopt kittens more than pets and that's the cuteness factor. Any 6 months of age, the kitten is pretty much cat size. Don't they know that will affect their adoption rate. Anyways, I'm a big proponent of adopting younger, 6 weeks and up. Although I know many disagree with me, I think you put them out younger, more get adopted instead of being put down, which is worst? And many people say the 6 weeks mark is young but fine. Anyways, I don't know what my question is but these are just some thoughts.

I have always fed him Iams dry cat food. When he uses the litter box you will immediately smell it on the other end of the house!
We use scoopable litter which is scooped out daily.
He is a 5 year old 15 pound orange kitty that looks like Garfield.
His name is Raymond. Believe me, in our house, everybody does not like smelling Raymond! Help Please!!!

I was just reading a question and an answerers said to take the kitten to a humane society. WHY? Now I love the animale shelter, that's where I got my kitten but seriously, around this time, most of the kittens that get brought in get KILLED. Yes, there's just too many. Recommending that you take a kitten to the humane society is just an easy way for people to get rid of kittes without getting thier own hand and conscious dirty but in reality you're doing the same thing. So what do I recommend, adopt the kitten yourself if you can, make sure it goes to a good house, via friends, networking or craigslist. But if you send it to a animal shelter, I thik it's a 50/50 chance the kitten gets put down. Just think about that before you recommend people send thier new kittens to the animal shelters.

Since we moved to another apartment, my outdoor cat no longer wants to go outside. We'll get him to go outside but after a couple minutes he's ready to come back in. I don't know what to do to motivate him. He's been so lazy and just staying underneath the bed all day long. Usually at night, he's a little bit more active which is when we usually get him to go outside. We've tried sitting outside with him to encourage him to go down to the lawn but with no real luck.

Her nipples have become enlarged and pink. She usually eats a lot but doesn't gain weight but now she looks a little fatter and she's heavier. We do have a male cat. I'm convienced she's pregnant. I just want to see what other cat owners say. Is it time to take her to the vet and have her checked out?

I have lived in my apartment for 3 years- when I moved in a little stray cat would hang around my apartment, I'd feed him and watch t.v and pet him...Like he was MY cat..

A few months ago, a middle aged couple moved next door- and they took the little cat - they lock him inside and rareley let him out. I see him sit by the screen door and peep out at me- and Meow.

( now, technically I do not OWN him- and neither do they - by 'own' I mean we do not pay the additionall 'pet deposit.' )

But when the little guy gets out- he always comes in my house

I'm moving this week- everything is already boxed up...

Am I a horrible person If I take my cat?

My brothers cat had kittens 2 weeks ago, and since all but one of them has died (the latest only hours ago).
I believe the mother has been killing them. She's been refusing to feed and when I found the latest dead kitten he had been squashed underneath her.
Anyway, I've taken the care of the final kitten into my own hands and since I can't afford to take him to the vet I need all of the easy-to-find/ cheap/ household things that I can feed him, and use for his general care.
please help.
