hi guys. i recently rescued a one month old kitten from my grandparents farm, (very young i know), her mother was injured and can't take care of her litter. the kitten is staying in my bedroom with me because we have dogs yet to be introduced. she's VERY clingy, if im not near her she screams. i tried letting her freeroam while i slept the first night, not a good idea! (she pooped under my bed, chewed cords, etc.) i tried making a big sleep crate with toys, milk, litterbox, etc. didn't work, she cries and screams while i try to sleep. she ONLY sleeps if she's in bed with me. my bed is three and a half-ish feet off the ground, and im scared if i sleep with her with me she'll fall off the bed or jump. i cannot sleep because of this and have became delirious and started crying lol. PLEASE HELPP

i saw this cat on the street i though she might be pregnant

I love her so much. But the past few days,she's begun YOWLING loudly all night. She has food,water and 1,000 catnip mice amongst other toys. But she does this horrible loud meowing that is driving my household crazy. I'm up right now at 3:45 am( been up since 1:30)because of it. I keep thinking maybe she's bored to death? Should I get her another kitten for companionship? My 8 year old cat doesn't want anything to do with her and frequently rejects her attempts at socializing or playing

We have a very small kitten , who was the runt , mum didn’t want to know , she is 14? Weeks now and is suckling on a mole I have ( this isn’t new to me my ragdoll did the same thing) my question is ..is there such a thing as a kitten dummy ? 🙈🤣.
My wrist is getting sore where she suckles , I have to add I don’t mind as she obviously needs the comfort.
If not there’s a gap in the market !

He's 5½ months now and so big. We also realised his tail is longe than our adult cat's, and I've heard Ragdolls have long tails so the minimal Ragdoll genes he got from his dad are doing something! He's also like super chill. He's the chillest cat I've ever met, even when he gets scared, he's so much more calmer than any other cat I've met😭‼️

Also in this pic he has a necklace on, bfr any of y'all get worried, I only had it on him while I was actively watching him because he liked playing with it. I did not leave him unattended with it, and I took it off pretty soon after too. I don't want him to hurt himself accidentally 🥀

They are coming along very well

Almost 7 weeks old. Fiesty as ever but as sweet as can be.

I have two 5 month old kittens and one of them (grey) sniffs and licks my mouth and up my nostrils all night long, every night. I called the vet and they said that it’s not something to be worried about but they didn’t know any way to stop it besides putting him in a different room. I want them to be able to sleep with me and cuddle, so I don’t like to kick him out of the bedroom.

I have researched and know it’s most likely just him grooming me and being affectionate which is adorable and I love… except for the fact that I can’t sleep with it.

I have tried moving him, he comes right back up to my face and continues. I’ve tried bipping his nose (lightly) to tell him to stop, I’ve even tried spraying water which gets him to stop any other action if needed. Nothing I do can seem to get him to stop.

Any tips, tricks or thoughts?
Please be kind, I’m just a new kitten parent wanting to take good care of them and make sure we’re both happy and healthy🙏

Coming on here to celebrate Pumpkin turning 5 weeks old and eating wet food all by herself for the first time today! 🥹🎃🧡

I rescued her when she was only a couple of days old after her mom abandoned her. I had never cared for a kitten this tiny, and honestly this whole process has been scary. So many sleepless nights, round the clock feedings, and moments of wondering if I was doing everything right. Kitten Lady’s videos and resources helped me learn so much and gave me confidence when I needed it most.

Today watching her eat wet food on her own I started ugly crying. It might seem like such a little thing but after everything she’s been through it felt huge. This tiny baby who depended on me for absolutely everything is growing up and figuring things out on her own 😭

I just wanted to share this big milestone with people who would understand why a kitten eating off a plate had me sobbing. Here’s to growing bigger, stronger, and a little more independent every day!!!

So my neighbour found this kitten and they left it die so I took it , it’s very small, I searched for kmr but I couldn’t find it so I fed it those weaning formulas ? Is there any alternative or something I can feed it long term ? (And the ones I found online are too expensive and will take like three weeks to get here.

Edit: so I went to the vet , he gave me a weaning formula that’s closer to kmr , gave me calcium and medicines for digestion ? Cause the poop was slimy now the only problem I have is it really doesn’t feel like eating 😭 but I feed her atleast 5ml every feed even if it takes 20 mins 🤍

We are still introducing the kittens to our older cats so we round them up in my room at night for safety. My sister went to grab the other one, Tatertot, while i held Gnocchi to keep her from leaving.

She was so chill being held like this, which is funny cause every time i pick her up she almost always runs off (though she has curled up into me a couple times so she doesnt hate it. Just picky when she wants loves)

Doubt her sister would let me do this though, hates being held no matter what.

My local stray cat gave birth last May to 5 babies.

Unfortunately after almost 1 month 4 of the kittens passed away during the night, the black kitten was the only one to survive, probably because she had always been twice the size of all her siblings. So I decided to bring her home to keep her safe and to give my 12 year old Nox a friend as well.

Nothing could have prepared me to a couple of months later, wake up early in the morning to the screeching screams of a kitten just below my bedroom window!

Absolutely impossible to ignore it I went out to find a tiny little fur ball hiding under a stairwell, her tiny body shaking to the core... I brought her inside to feed her and clean her up and then go to the vet and sort things out for her to be taken care of by some rescue center or so because I don't have a big house and getting the 2nd cat had already been quite a negotiation with my husband!

Well. It was mission impossible. After 30 seconds holding her I knew she belonged to our family and so here she is :

Stunning and absolutely obsessed with her older sister.

Old boy Nox loves them both too 😺🙏💕

I spent hours today assembling and hanging this, as you can imagine.

At first - my 5 month old kitten wouldn’t touch the thing. And then I just started spiraling. I thought maybe the steps were too small. Or I spaced them in a dumb way (staggered). I started to feel like this set up I’ve created was impossible for him to use and stupid and I let him and myself down!

I was picturing how I would spackle all of the holes. Have to redo it all. I can’t even tell you the tears today.

Well. Lo and behold. A few hours later. This little guy literally took it step by step. Slowly getting closer and closer to the next shelf. He has always been persistent and a problem-solver. He loves puzzles and gets obsessed with cracking the code.

But I started to doubt myself. He would take one step forward and two steps back. I thought - yeah… I messed this one up.

Fast forward…By the end of the night…. This mf was jumping OVER the bridge and into the bed on top. WTF 😭😭😭 literally doing acrobatics in my living room.

I could not believe my eyes. Pouncing from shelf to shelf. Climbing them vertically. Bouncing from shelves to the cat tree then back again.

How are they so agile and precise? This is insane!!!

Just adopted this little guy! The shelter said he’s a Snowshoe. Named him Skelli because of his nose pattern (Looks like a skull) and spooky season. He’s super loving and very chill!

I really want a cat, however my family already has a green cheek conure. If i get the cat as a kitten.. would it be possible to teach it the bird is our companion?.

As for my bird she is pretty defensive, she will bite and fly away if she senses somethings up. But she's still prey to the cat at the end of the day.

Granted i wouldnt leave either of them unsupervised, however if it cannot be done than i simply will not get the cat.

edit: i wont get a cat after reading the comments, thank you to those who replied ❤️

I found this kitten two days ago in the woods and I'm wondering just about a visual estimate about his age. Me and my friend are taking care of him together and named him Kurt. So this is Baby Kurt!! (named after Kurt Cobain) :D

Mr. Squeaky(tabby) has been with me since his bottle feeding age now he is 1 year and 2 months old. Mr. Milky (tuxi) has been with me since his 3 months, now he is 6 months old.

Hello! I hope this post is allowed. Our sweet 8 year old diva passed away in July. She had unknown kidney issues and we found out too late. We are looking to open our home to two kittens when the time is right. When I got motley I felt like cats were just kind of like house plants and they would learn how to do what to do. Motley ended up great but definitely not because of me! I was 14 and didn’t know much. We are looking to get a kitten or two in spring. We got a puppy last November who grew up around our cat and has been so depressed since she passed. They were the best of buddies.

I need to know all about kittenhood. How to train what it should look like etc. I have no clue. Like should we get two or should we get one because we have the dog. We want two so if two is better we will go that route. Just any tips tricks or anything anyone has! I’m reading Jackson galaxy’s book to get a good start going.

Thank you!
