Our cat has scratches on his nose, and I think it is him, because he scrapes his nose alot , and also he sometimes meows, because he hurts himself. But, our kitten is very energetic, and she sometimes attacks our kity (playful) I don`t think it is the kitten, but we are going away for 2 days, and I don`t want my kitten to hurt our cat. Do you think it is our car or kitten making the scratches?

CAT or kitten making the scratches

it could be either or both, a kitten can be hurt a lot easier than an adult, when they fight it is usually just play. have whoever is watching them while you are away to watch them when they play-fight and make sure it's only play. there may be an infection or a foreign object in the nose of the kitten, so you may have to take him/her to the vet just to be safe.

It is probably the kitten. Kittens, like children, play rough and don't always know to keep their claws in. But a kitten would not seriously hurt an adult cat, because the cat would swat it away if it got too rough. However, if your adult cat is scraping his nose on things or rubbing it a lot, I would take him to a vet -- there could be something stuck in his nose or some other problem.

5 weeks previous is approximately 4 weeks too early. they could basically be out whilst supervised because of the fact they are in a position to get injury in case your domicile isn't kitten proofed. case in point for the subsequent couple of months do no longer depart the the washing room door open or a minimum of shop the rest room lid down because of the fact kittens drown in there! whilst you're watching out for them in front of a dogs and different cats ok yet once you at the instant are not in the room with them then they belong returned in the kitten room. you haven't any longer any thought the place those kittens can flow. i've got had them climb up interior a settee physique and in the event that they flow interior a recliner chair they are in a position to get killed once you recline it! they're way too small to have confidence out and approximately and not utilising a sitter being in the room with them. basically provide them toys and a pair cardboard bins to play with and that they are going to be chuffed. whilst they're greater suitable they are in a position to roam, precise now could be lots too risky.

i think it is the kitten,, go to walmart and get a nail cutter for pets, have someone hold them, then push the nail out and cut the clear part off, do not cut the quick,, same as your nail,, dont cut to much,, you should trim their nails every two weeks, or spend the 200 bucks each and have the front nails removed by laser, no not use any other method,, the laser is the best and you never have to worry again,

It could be either one. But if the kitten gets too frisky, your older cat will let her know she has to back off.
Now, you could do what my husband and I just did: One of our kitties has to be on a special weight-gaining diet, but the other two are bullies. So we closed the special-diet cat in a room with her food, water, and a box. And we closed the other two in another room with their weight-control food, water, and a box. They weren't too happy about the closed doors, but it kept them all safe.
Good luck, and enjoy your trip!

I don't think the kitty scratches himself. I think the other one does it to him, but then when the wounds heal they itch, so maybe he scratches himself too for the itching.
