Kitten thread if not minded? A bit of an UPDATE.

[the ringo kid]

I started mine on canned and kibble.The sister that works for a vet feeds hers science diet and is convinced that the sister using blue buffalo is killing her critters lol.Fig quit eating any canned food I tried at 8 months and is happy with just kibble.

I wonder if I should try giving them raw eggs and milk too? Shasta never liked either-which was the only cat I ever had that never took to either. I also plan on giving tiny bits of Tyson's chicken as well as Soule's Beef (no inserted ingredients) to them as treats.

Cat on computer - this is Saratoga. She is in charge of our house.

Shasta used to walk on my keyboard as well.

I now have my Petco account set up-expecting 1st cat-food delivery on Monday or Tuesday.

My sister's kitten, about a year ago. I have to say, this is a better thread than the LV one.

One of our neighborhood feral cats had a litter back in 2012 and for a couple days she would leave them in the back corner behind our garage hidden in the corner of the compost bin. We got a pic of the little girl who grew up and adopted our neighbors across the street. Her name is now Maggie.

Arjay you are 20 years behind. You need to adopt a bushel basket of kittens and get caught up!

My big boy, Patches. Was taken in as a 4 week old, 5 oz. feral kitten.

I'll play, Ringo!

Newest first: This is Cooper, who we adopted from a rescue a few days after we lost our wolfdog, Kira. My daughter and I saw him over at PetSmart in Lafayette in the adoption center while waiting for the doctor to get there so we could put Kira down and end her suffering and I fell in love with him right away. My wife picked him up shortly after I left for the rig. This pic was taken shortly after he came home; he is now 6 months old and yes, he has grown into those ears.


Next Is a couple of pics of Sox, who wandered over to our house around 3 years ago as a kitten. He immediately decided that he would allow us to take him in and feed him and care for him. This first pic is when he was a kitten:


This next pic is about a year or so ago and he was with his dogs for this pic. They were great buddies. Kira the wolfdog is gone now and Reno the coondog has gone with his Mommy (my daughter) to Alabama, so it is strictly cats here now:


Next is Nee Nee. She wandered over here as a kitten right after Hurricane Rita had passed and she let us know that she was looking for a house to live at and we were chosen. We figure that she was someone's kitten that got lost from somebody fleeing the hurricane, because she obviously wasn't an outside only cat; no fleas or worms or anything like that. And we thought she was a male cat too and my daughter named her after a character in Star Trek Voyager (Neelix), but was changed to Nee Nee after she came up preggers.


This last pic has Nee Nee in it in the front and one of my all time big buddies, Pepper. He lived to 16 years old. We had to put him down about 2 years ago as he was wasting away and ready to go, poor fellow. Broke my heart to lose him too. I wish I had a better pic of Pepper handy, but I don't know where they are at right now.

My cats Ernie and Zoe are 6 now, but here are a couple of not very good pictures of them as kittens.

I'll see your Ernie & Zoe and raise you a Smudge (Sept. 2015, 4 mos. old). Hadn't quite got his claws figured out, though.

We had dogs and they were easy. My dog Spot got every last bite of sandwich I had for years. But then I discovered something my cats loved. Its just whipped cream. I give my favorite a shot on her plate just before bed and then again when she sits on my chest in the morning so I can get back to sleep.

 

[arjay]

Worth the risk,I think

Great topic Kid!!!

Definitely better by the bushel. And when they get a bit older, you can herd 'em, too!

Mine is pretty much a "kibbles-only" cat. He gets some generic kibbles as well as Royal Canin Dental Formula (prescribed for one of my previous cats but Smudge likes it as well). Sometimes he likes a bit of canned tuna, but I always rinse it out well as the brine is very salty.

Funny.... mine did the same thing. Maybe they're related.

Ogden Nash knew a thing or two about cats:

The trouble with a kitten is that
eventually it becomes a cat

and:

You get a wife, you get a house,
Eventually you get a mouse.
You get some words regarding mice,
You get a kitty in a trice.

By two a.m. or thereabouts,
The mouse is in, the cat is out.
It dawns upon you, in your cot,
The mouse is silent, the cat is not.

Instead of kitty, says your spouse,
You should have got another mouse.

Very nice photo of a very pretty young lady.

Emerging from under the house where last litter was caught. Caught momma too and got her spayed and in a working cat program.

Great photo and sounds like a good outcome for the cats.

These two Norwegian forest cats started off as little fluffy kittens, too. No pics of them at that stage, unfortunately They originally lived across the street but, being cats, they began to explore and soon discovered that my gf was, shall we say, "highly amenable" to cats.

After a while it became obvious that Izzie (rear of the pic) preferred Sandra's home to his own and was sadly surrendered. A year or so later, the original owners (aka "support staff" in cat parlance) decided to take a posting in Saudi Arabia, so Charlie also ended up with S.

They now weigh 26 & 24 lbs.
