coincidentally, we just got a new kitty... it's technically our grand daughter's, but it is going to live with us, to avoid pet deposit/fees at their apt...

He's interested in the internet already, looking over my wife's shoulder....

Awwww. He's soooo cute.
I wish they didn't grow up.

Does he contribute his doctrinal ideas to the forum ??

She will not go wild from being outdoors at night.
(That will only happen if she is outdoors for weeks / months on end... and that won't happen as long as you feed her :D)

They need to move about, explore, use their senses :)

our latest cat, around 6yrs, is the property patroller! nothing gets past him, nothing...
yes, he desires to stay outside at night, but has found plenty of places of rest that he
is comfortable with - he is ALWAYS Fed inside, and always lets us know when he wants
to be fed...when we are outside, his preference is to stay right beside us, no matter where
we go, well hubby mostly - he the most unique cat we have ever had, as he likes to imitate
whatever outside chores we are doing, even when we rake or cut grass, and he especially
enjoys riding in the wheel-barrow, whether full or empty...he seems to act more like a dog
than a cat, as he is so loyal and only waits for us to come out to him each new day...
yes, he does have us very well 'trained'...we never forget Who gave him to us, one lonely
night after someone dropped him off, and he came running right up to us and well, ya'll know...

He does sound very unique. I hope this kitten grows up to be like that.
I like dogs too, but little ones and they're just too much work.
We live in our own house and there are plenty of nice places for him to be in outside.

Right now, he's exploring the house. He's moving about, exploring and using his senses, like wwjd_kilden said.

I just got a new kitten today!

He's soooooo cute.
I don't know how to post a picture onto here, but the image
below looks just like him.

He's so sweet and loving and purrs all the time.

Any cat lovers out there?
Any advice?






Hi FranC yes what a cuties you got there.I love kittens..I brought my cat when he was 6 week old..called him shruddles
yes keep you kitten at home for a while because he needs to get familiar with his surroundings.Once he dies your home will become HIS territory..but the outside world will confuse him to take you time to introduce him to your back garden,but keep an yes on him at all times because he could easily wander off and won't be able to find his way back.

most department stores have kitten food and see what works for him..ie jelly based kitten food or meat based..there is also dry food for kittens too,,so best check out what's on offer thin the store for kittens.Some kittens have delicate stomachs so try and find food that kittens can have..it might be easier on their tummies.

He will see you as the patent now to spend time with him and you will gel very quickiy.
However if you leave the house and he is all alone it could make him anxious and he might find a corner somewhere to hide asyour home looks enormous to him and he may not feel confident yet (mu kitten hid under my fitted kitchen when I had to leave him and go to work.
I hope this helps!!

Oh,.yes water and milk most certainly..just think of your kitten as a human baby who can only eat small portions.
Also comb through his fur...it u see tiny tiny black things that looks like ash then that flea poo..is you need to take him to the vet and get him sorted!!

Ha ha..yet it might backfire and frighten him and also disorientate him and he could run in the opposite direction.He has never been around humans before and unexpected sudden bursts of sound tend to make animals run for cover..so he could well run off somewhere other than her home and nit come out for a few hours!!

I kept my kitten inside until she was 4 months -- that was mostly practical as we got her in the middle of winter, and it's mighty cold up here.

We also had her spayed at 4 months -- after she healed from that is when we allowed her to go outside. The first time we let her out, we went out with her, then she came in with us, too.

She now has a kitty-cat door and goes in and out as she pleases, but she spends plenty of time inside with us, and will usually sleep with me at least part of the night.

She's a great cat -- we love her to bits.

A vet told me there is no reason to let a cat outside. Recently I heard that they live twice as long if they are kept indoors.

Boy, you sure do have a cutie.

Keep it inside, indoor cats are healthier and zero chance of getting run over, killed or stolen. Give it kitten food for awhile, always keep water bowl filled. Keep toilet lid closed at all times!! Some cats prefer toilet water, it's colder.. Keep poopy box clean, give it lots of toys and play with it. Pick it up and handle it alot..
