Gina . asked:
I am getting a 3 and a half week old kitten soon and my parents and I are going to go to petsmart and buy milk replacer since it probably cant eat dry or canned food just yet . When can i stop using the milk replacer and give my kitten dry or wet food ?
I am getting a kitten without the mommmy cat so formula is my only option .

Shannon K asked:
I adopted an orphaned kitten at 3 weeks old. He is now 5 weeks old. I understand that clumping litter is not healthy for baby kittens so I’ve been providing him a small litter box filled with traditional clay litter. When can I let him use the litter box with the “grown ups”?

Fletch asked:
I have two 9 month old kittens who will be going off kitten food soon. I also have just taken in a stray, now 12 weeks old. Stanley, one of my older kittens, is already pretty big and I am worried than if he eats kitten food he will continue to get much bigger than he should. How do I keep the older cats from eating the kitten food that the little one needs?
They will all continue with kitten food until the oldest are a year old. I fear that Jasmine the oldest female will be jealous of the baby girl, Alix, being able to eat seperately. It has taken about three weeks to get Jasmine to accept Alix, Jasmine has just now allowed Alix on the bed to sleep at night.

Sarah asked:
Every time my kitten smells the new kittens toys she hisses and growls at them and at the new kitty. But, she plays with the new kitten all the time. Why does she do this?

~*~Sweetly Orginal~*~~ asked:
I own a female kitten, Christine, and I have 2 male kittens, Sylvestor, who is my brother’s kitten, and Junior, who was the runt of the litter and he’s my kitten. So, I’m wondering, how old does a kitten have to be to go into heat? I want to know so I can keep Christine away from Junior and Sylvestor.
Note – Christine is the older of the 3 kittens.

Knight of Malta asked:
I will be visiting my local shelter/humane society next week to look for a kitten and want one that is very well socialized and friendly.
Eight years ago I got a sweet kitten from the pound (I still have him and he’s neutered), but he tends to be the nervous type and is a little shy and withdrawn. He is really only comfortable around me.
What are things to look for when judging a kitten for temperament? What kinds of “tests” can I do while looking the kittens over? I know what to look for as far as health goes. Thanks!

Jennie t asked:
Today some kids came by the house asking if we wanted a kitten. I am a sucker for small animals, and have always wanted a cat, but haven’t tried to get one b/c Lizzy (my little girl) once got all sneezy when we were in a house that had cats, so I assumed she was probably allergic. However, to test it, before I accepted the cat I had her smell the cat and (yay!) no sneezing. So now we have a pet kitten (about 9 weeks old or so). I fed her half a can of tuna, some water, and a little milk earlier, because we didn’t have cat food yet. I figured that was all she would need, but now she is jumping on the table trying to eat our soup. How often DO kittens need to be fed? Also, she was scratching herself, so my husband says she may have fleas. We of course went to the pet store to get supplies for her today and all flea removing/ preventing stuff said 12 weeks or older only.

Kaylee asked:
We have the sweetest, most handsome cat in the world, Meeko. He is 13 and very friendly. He gets along great with our collie and the birds. We are thinking of getting a kitten. How do older cats usually react? Are they like dogs in the way that the kitten will liven up the older cat, or are they resentful? We would introduce them gradually, and we’ve also heard of rubbing the new kitten with household scents like our cat’s blanket. How does this usually work out? What do you suggest doing when bringing a new kitten home?
