This forum tends to be a bit less active during the weekend but if we keep the thread active someone will come along who has more experience. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40306#post-706032 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:41:25 +0000 Angelika 706032@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi guys, Im new to the forum and to all of this actually:)..ive found two little kittens more than a week ago and took them home and have been feeding them and stimulating them each day...1 has opened its eyes and the other one is on its way (sooooo cute!!!). Just to keep you updated, they have been pooping each day at least once and urinating regularly. I have been also rubbing their bellies after each meal and after they have urinated and pooped and then they are ready to sleep. The last 3 days they havent pooped though and im really really worried :S..i have been stimulating them with cotton balls and warm water, they urinate regularly but not a single poop and im worried. They usually leave poops in their box under the blanket but ive checked there also and nothing.....Should I be worried??? Their bellies are not hard so im guessing they are not constipated, and they dont cry (only when its pee pee time - they dont seem to like it very much lol, but lately since they've opened eyes ive been talking to them and they are a bit more relaxed i think)... Im paying a visit to the vet on Monday but I also wanted your opinion since you seem to know your stuff :)....</p> <p>Also I would like to ask: Is it normal that one of them the last few days is sucking (like when they are drinking milk) the other on its anal area??? The other one doesnt seem to mind that much but Im kinda worried...Is it possible that they eat their poop???? I know i sound like a crazy person but I havent done this before and Im freaking out a bit...</p> <p>Anyway thanks for your help!!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705678 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:41:12 +0000 AV 705678@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Prayers C4C!.............. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705650 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:50:07 +0000 Cats4Cats 705650@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If anyone wants to contact me directly with advice, you can email me at dallas1cat @ hotmail.com </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705649 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:46:05 +0000 Cats4Cats 705649@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oops, sorry CBM, I forgot about that. Thanks for the advice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705648 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:44:22 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 705648@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Is Mouse completely feral or does he appear to be someone's ex-pet? If he is a once tamed stray, you should be able to get him comfortable with living in the house fairly easily, although it could take time.</p> <p>If he is a total feral, you might still be able to tame him, but that takes a ton of patience. Here's one website that may help: <a href="http://www.feralcat.com/taming.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.feralcat.com/taming.html</a> , you can google others.</p> <p>Although the inside vs outside cat debate isn't one we are suppose to discuss, keeping Mouse inside until he realizes you are his people and this is his home would be a good idea. Once he gets comfortable with his humans, shelter and a steady supply of food, he probably won't wander too far if he goes back outside. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705644 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:20:01 +0000 Cats4Cats 705644@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Right now Mouse is tucked away in a bedroom, still in the cat carrier. The vet said to keep an eye on him for 24 hours.</p> <p>The question is, what do we do after that? Keep him in the spare room and try to get him to calm down? Let him go outside and hope he comes back? We're really attached to him, but we don't know how to handle a somewhat wild stray.</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705635 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:35:11 +0000 Frizzy 705635@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, she actually isn't having much problem with her eyes, just her diarrea, she comes to me or my mom for comfort. She loves to cuddle, but since she has had diarrea we've wrapped her in a small towell just for accidents, she actually loves the extra comfort. She won't let us out of her sights. Checked with the vet and friday is the earliest they can get her in </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705634 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:32:35 +0000 jeankit 705634@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Frizzy I added ask a vet &amp; tea to tags. You can ask an online vet for fee &amp; use tea as a temp help for eyes too. Please check for worms too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705632 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:29:35 +0000 Frizzy 705632@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks jeankit </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705631 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:28:36 +0000 jeankit 705631@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Give her a very little bit of plain, unsweetend yogurt too.<br /> Plain, unscented baby wipes.<br /> Soak a cotton ball in plain cold tea to wipe off the discharge of eyes with too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705624 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:49:54 +0000 Frizzy 705624@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We don't know what the people who had her feed her i think it was just wet cat food. The vet can't get her in until friday and late at that or it would have been monday. She just started the diareah this week. What kind of baby wipes? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705623 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:47:27 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 705623@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>She could have a cold, or a food allergy, or have eaten something she shouldn't have (a plant or people food or cleaning products). </p> <p>You can give her a little bit of canned pumpkin (not pie mix, just plain pumpkin) or a little bit of plain unflavoured yogurt and see if that helps. You can gently clean her bum off with baby wipes.</p> <p>The best think to do is get her into the vet. Can you call them and see if they can fit her in any earlier? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40267#post-705622 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:43:11 +0000 Frizzy 705622@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I recently got Sara lynn on january 17th she was born in November. A few days after we had her we noticed she had runny eyes. Then since last week she has had diarreha, runny poop and now a sore bum. We can't get her in until Friday. Any recommendations on what is wrong with Sara? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40263#post-705594 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:00:07 +0000 Dexter Chewie 705594@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>it sounds a territorial thing, like if something is new to any cat, they smell and pee on it to get their scent on it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705588 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:14:25 +0000 cricketsmama 705588@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh yeah for Mouse.

Maybe keep this area off limits to kit. Their is also a litter called Cat Attract that may help too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40263#post-705567 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:41:14 +0000 kazloz 705567@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I would like some advice my Himilayan is 19 months old we have currently introduced a baby into the household and the cat last night decided to pee on the bottem of the change table/bath station we have where we keep all the clean baby nappies. is this a territorial thing ?? she has not ever done this before and the litter box is outside in her cat run and gets changed regular mostly by me but currently by my partner as i have had a c section. i was in the process of bathing the baby at the time and i did notice as i had piled up the babys laundry in the same room that she had been sniffing around that before moving onto the bottom of the change table and just letting go. She had her vet check a week ago so all medical reasons can be excluded. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705536 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:33:28 +0000 jeankit 705536@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good wishes for Mouse on his spa day. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705533 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 08:18:42 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 705533@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Lots of good vibes headed your way from Jersey.

We've seen the same thing play out with cats over and over again on a show we like to watch on Animal Planet. Of course, there are other reasons for their aggression too, but the humans' fears play into it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40255#post-705508 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:59:32 +0000 katthays 705508@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sending prayers and purrs your way for Mouse :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40247#post-705505 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:32:41 +0000 katthays 705505@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Lol, Skyron! That is good news, though....hopefully Screecher will know she can feel calm around you...I hope her eye clears up soon! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40247#post-705497 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:39:12 +0000 Skyron 705497@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, we’ve been to the vet. And my mouth is still gaping . . .</p> <p>When we got there I explained to Dr. Peck in a very serious, solemn voice, that Screecher is not a tame hamster, and that she’s probably going to bite him if he tries to pick her up. And he’s just like ‘ok, let’s see what’s up’. He unscrews the lid from her exercise ball, sticks two fingers in there, and Screecher just climbs on his fingers and hops into his hand like it’s no big deal . . . He examines her, squints into her eye (still no screeching or biting or squirming of any kind going on) and declares that her eye has a bed case of conjunctivitis.</p> <p>She needs drops in her eye, 3 times a day. He just squirted a drop of the medication on his finger and rubbed it into her eye (still no screeching or biting or squirming of any kind going on), and popped her back into her ball, where she quietly digs into the wood shavings and goes back to sleep like nothing ever happened . . .</p> <p>Meanwhile, I’m practically clinging to the wall, expecting all hell to break loose at any moment. The Dr. explains to me that she can sense that I’m scared &amp; nervous of her, and that’s why she gets screechy when I go near her – if I were to calmly hold my hand out to her, she’d be fine with me. And he picks her back up, and pops her into my hands before I could get back onto the wall, and lo and behold, there she sat, ever so quietly, sniffing my hand . . . </p> <p>What the . . .?? </p>
