I ran out of catfood Sunday morning, and cant get money out of the bank til' mon. morning. They were really hungry so I cut up some tortilla shell and put a spoon of chicken gravy (so they would actually eat the bread) and a piece of beef lunch meat. I know its probably a bad combo, and not to make a habit of it, but it was just a quick fix until morning. Question is, do you think I will wake up in the morning to find little "surprises" from them, or do you think they'll be alright for the night? I know a common answer might be "depends on howsensitive their stomachs are" and they have normal stomachs i guess...any advice would be appreciated. just need some peace of mind for the night. Thanks.

I've bought her a scratching post, a scratching rug, let another cat scratch the post hoping she'd catch on from watching -- to no avail. She still scratches my couch, and my fiance--who has nice furniture--doesn't want her ruining it. Any suggestions?

i adopted a feral kitten last week, probably about 7 or 8 weeks old. He has been to the vet and he's only got worms and an eye infection, so he's ok. However, we are still having trouble taming him. When we try to pick him up (which is at least 3 times a day, since that is how often he needs neosporin put on his eyes), he hisses and scratches us and runs away if he can.
As soon as you pick him up, he purrs to sleep in your arms, he'll eat out of your hand, whatever. He is sleeping in my lap as I type. But he still runs away like crazy whenever we're not already holding him. He won't come near you unless you catch him, and I can't help but think that cornering and scaring him is not the best way to get him used to being picked up.
Has anyone tamed a kitten before? Advice would be welcome.
Also, do the worms make him this gassy or is it the food or what? This is a stinky kitten. Do they fart to repel predators? Does he just fart when we pick him up?

there was a stray cat who basically decided our frontyard was its new home. we did after a while feed it sometimes. & then recently I noticed it was pregnant. then the cat was not to be seen anywhere for about three days. & then we heard the sound of a kitten meowing under the house. and now the cat is back as normal but have not seen the kittens or heard them meowing anymore, what could have happened?

I got a kitten a few days ago, I've never had a cat before, the first day everything was fine-she's litter boxed tranined and everything but the problem is she's wicked annoynig I know she's just being playful but she's constanly pawing my legs and jumping on my head. Her tempernt just doesn't seem well..is this normal behavior for a kitten? I've tried spraying her but she seems to like it. I have 3 more days to bring her back but I really would like to keep her- it's just that her temperment isn't so hot.Is it normal?

I took her to the vet today, and the vet told me to prepair for her to pass. I love my cat, and do not want to bury her, I would rather have her creamated and placed in an urn. Any advice on where I can find a nice urn. The vet has those tin-can ones, but those are not very good, they look like cookie tins.

We just put up our christmas tree Saturday morning and all she's done is climbing. She's a little over a year old, we've had her since she's 5 weeks. I've only got her down once and she bit and used her back claws against me which really pissed her off and went straight back up the tree. I left her alone and she basically just lays in the tree and comes down a little later. She thinks it's just a place to lay and that the ornaments are her toys. She never goes to the top, just the middle or bottom. But my mom is scared she's going to knock it over or ruin the ornaments, and we're worried about her getting hurt.

I don't know what to do, i've tried telling her firmly no, but she just does it anyways. I've tried to lightly spank her, she just thinks i'm playing with her. And now my dad is threatening to spray her with water, which I don't approve of.

Any suggestions, or anyone that's gone through the same situation and has got there cat to stop?

Why doesn't the catnip I bought for my cat make him act wild for it. He acts no different. I bought the catnip from Wal-Mart.
