They are asleep under the couch..lol its nice not to have them climbing on me and the lap top :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424695 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:52:01 +0000 Tigerlilly 424695@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You could try mixing the wet with dry. Some kitties do prefer one over the other. If she only eats dry, hopefully she will drink a lot of water. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424692 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:48:23 +0000 iliketea 424692@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ohh totally...might try and do that :) Is there anything I can do to 'make' Zoe eat Wet food? given the choice she always eats dry! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424687 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:43:45 +0000 jeankit 424687@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cute little growing kits...Ditto Tigerlilly good suggestions on chow time! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424684 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:40:54 +0000 GizzysAuntie 424684@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Another method of getting Charlie to leave your fingers/toes alone is, when he starts playing rough, making a high pitched meow, like a kitten in distress and hold very still if possible, then withdraw the attacked limb. Siblings do this when other sibs play too rough. It worked with Sophie, she no longer plays swat ball with our ankles in the middle. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424682 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:40:10 +0000 Tigerlilly 424682@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The real Tigerlilly says thank you for her star! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424679 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:36:42 +0000 Tigerlilly 424679@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Friskies is not the best food really. For the first year, they really should be on kitten food, whichever one you do chose. I recommend a combination of wet and dry. There are many varying opinions on this, but I usually leave dry food our so they can eat whenever and offer wet food once a day.<br /> What ever you change to, if you do, you need to do slowly (maybe the first day home may not be the best day to do this)...that is, mixing the old food with the new. Kitties have sensitive tummies and any sudden change will likely lead to tummy upset.<br /> What to change to? Well, there again many differing opinions. I would recommend a grain free, high protein kittten food like Wellness. There are many good ones out there. You may want to consult with your vet </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424665 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:22:51 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 424665@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Congratulations! I love the photo of the two of them lying close to each other on the floor. :)</p> <p>Does the shelter you adopted Charlie and Zoe from offer a free follow-up visit to a vet?</p> <p>As to the biting you, kittens need to learn that fingers and hands are for petting. If one tries to bite you, walk away or distract the kitten with a cat toy. Don't yell or hit and don't let anyone play roughly with your kittens. They will learn good manners if you are consistent. Enjoy! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424664 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:21:42 +0000 iliketea 424664@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks a few questions though!</p> <p>Zoe likes dry food..her foster mom fed her Friskies... (I hear that is bad...should I switch her off?). Charlie prefers wet food. Is one better than another? Zoe is also very skinny eventhough she eats and drinks...should I be worried?</p> <p>On more Question...Charlie has started attacking my fingers and toes after some rough play with a friend who was visiting. How do I get him to stop attacking me? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424659 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:19:30 +0000 CSBM 424659@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>very cute !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19619#post-424657 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:18:47 +0000 Karenopa 424657@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwww..Very sweet babies!

They are using the litterbox and eating..and drinking and the apartment is now theirs! They were hesitant about for 10 minutes exploring then starting using the scartching post. Rest is history! </p> <p> Zoe likes dry food..her foster mom fed her Friskies... (I hear that is bad...should I switch her off?). Charlie prefers wet food. Is one better than another?
