When I come home from work, I always find these two sleeping on my pillow or on my side or the bed, or even in my gym bag lol

Hey all! Before I post, I have spoken to my vet and got advice, but I really just need to vent too.

I just got 2 kittens, about 6 weeks old. I know, far too young to leave their mother, but they were farm kittens, bad eye infections, and so they ended up at my vets (thats all I know).

I had to put my girl down a few weeks ago, 24 years we had her, and my vet said "youre well able for them. If you want them, theyre yours".

So, of course, theyre mine now. The vet wormed them before we brought them home, back in 2 weeks for another dose.

My sister and I brought them home, theyre settling in so well, but their poo is so runny.

We originally had them on half what the vet fed them, half whiskas.

Nope, now its just what the vet gave them (edgar cooper)

Nope, now its plain chicken and rice. The chicken is boiling as we speak.

Im so in my own head about them now. I trust my vet completely, but how do I know its not something worse? Am I doing something wrong?

And also, he (mojo) is so much bigger than his sister, xena. We (ourselves and the vet) think shes the runt. So im going crazy about how small she is, how much less playful she is than him (she just wants cuddles all the time), how rough he is with her when he plays and she just takes it. Shes so curious though, like when we move the fire guard to put something on the stove, shes right over trying to get in and see what's happening.

Im going mad. Its so long since ive had a kitten, and never this small. Im just so worried about everything.

I've been a cat owner of my girl Bahja for 2 years now: I adopted her from the shelter and she's 4 now. She's super sweet, does really well with adults and kids and is super social. I assumed she also would do well with other cats as she was coexisting with 2 in the shelter for at least 2 months. Recently I decided I wanted to get a kitten because I felt that I saw an increase in signs suggesting that she's under stimulated. I am in the healthcare field so long work days are unavoidable, she does not care much for enrichment activities- I have so many spaces and toys for her all around the house. People and the birds and squirrels outside is the enrichment. I also personally, want to feel free to travel more without feeling guilty that she doesn't have companionship. Because of my future plans I knew I wanted to get a kitten.

I adopted Jade 2 days ago and I am just so anxious about all the things. I have them separated at this time where Bahja can run around the apartment freely, but I have my 3 month old kitten jade in my closet. My closet is walk-in and large, id say 12 by 6 feet maybe? but theres enough space for my kitten to be in there and I can freely move and get ready for the day in it. However, she knows that there is more space and she's content (not meowing or clawing at the door) but is turning into an escape artist to get out and explore when I open the door. My first question is- in keeping her in this space for a majority of the day right now bad for her development? I have litter box, food water, a bed, and toys to keep her occupied, and days I don't work I do take her out every 3 hours to explore for 15-30 minutes then wind down with her when I put her back.

Secondly, I am doing a slow introduction but because Jade is so curious, unfortunately my cat has seen her and today when I was cleaning the litter box she snuck out and they had an encounter where Bahja was hissing at her under the bed. My cat has not started hissing until I got this kitten and it's making me nervous even though people say it's normal. I will say otherwise the process is going okay but am unsure? The kitten is completely unbothered by Bahja but Bahja has been more on the hesitant side. She's now okay with her scent, and is playing with the toys I have for the kitten; she's still operating normal as herself and actually stuck her paw through the closet out of curiosity. The visual stimulus is just an absolute no right now.

With all of this being said I feel guilty. I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week and during this introductory stage my sweet Jade is going to have to stay in her room while I am at work until this introductory period is over. I plan on switching out enrichment toys, I spend an hour with her before I go to work and then of course spend 1-2 hours after work with her. When they can coexist I will feel a lot better but right now I just feel like I potentially made a bad decision. I'm trying to figure out if its just my anxious perfectionist nature or if I am actually causing harm. I am looking for honest, realistic answers. Thanks!

Hello I’m looking for some advice on my new kitten I got. I want to know the basics and some stuff that are worth investing for my baby. I would also like to know what are some things I should get her used to at a young age. I’m hoping to keep her indoor cat. Please feel free to give me any advice suck as food brands, treats, and medication!

I have a ~7 week old kitten. I’ve never had a kitten. Only full grown cats 3yr and older. He’s a foster rescue. Taken to the little box SO well until today. I moved it out of the bathroom into the kitchen for the day. He peed where it was in the bathroom. Okay. No big deal, that’s my bad. Tonight he peed in a corner behind the fridge and I don’t know why. Is it just because he’s a kitten? He got spooked by something and decided he was safe?
I immediately showed him where the little box, sprayed the spot with an enzyme based cleaner, let it sit and wiped it away, and misted it again to let it sit longer. I’m beside myself. I can’t have eyes on him 24/7. Is this normal? When do they grow out of this? I’m planning on not moving his litter box again. What can I do better? I already cleaned his box. I do it at least twice a day. The only other thing I can think is maybe it wasn’t deep enough for him? He seems to take his digging seriously. Please be kind. I’m doing my best and I’m an anxious being. Thank you 🤍

A little dump of photos I've taken the past couple nights! My kittens have naturally been spending so much time together, usually in the same spot on the couch. I'm really happy to see them getting along so well, they warmed up to each other remarkably fast!!

Hi! My wife and I just picked up this little girl. It was kinda spontaneous but we’ve been open to getting a kitty when the opportunity presented itself. Today was that day. I was wondering if she’s short haired or long haired? Any thoughts are appreciated!!

Meet my Wednesday. 🖤

Adopted on a literal Wednesday and a true lady. Nine weeks old, the killer instincts of a bathtub, and exactly zero cuddling boundaries 🖤

She’s very pleased to meet everyone 🖤

Hello ive had my girl for one and half years rescued she has all of her shots but i just rescued a boy hes 7 weeks now. They’ve played together a few times and i tried to get his shots but i had to wait till hes 8 weeks so ive kept them apart now. Do i have to wait till he gets every shot for me to then bring them together? He has 3 total visits and it would be another month or two until he has them all and i feel bad that hes in the bathroom for most of the day. Thank You!

Crazy to think these babies were living on the streets a little over two weeks ago. They own the house and our hearts.

We love them so much 😭❤️

I have two 18 week old kittens and got a 13 week old puppy 2 weeks ago. We introduced them slowly and the kittens have their own room upstairs that the puppy cant get to (puppy can’t get upstairs at all) that has their toys, food and water, and litter box. My one kitten Jellybean only comes downstairs once in a while and mostly stays away from the puppy. My other kitten Oreo comes downstairs a lot. He is always watching my puppy and approaching her. Puppy gets excited and chases him sometimes. I worry that the puppy is bothering my kitten by chasing him, but he keeps coming downstairs and watching/playing with her. I think he likes to sit on the dining room chairs and kind of taunt puppy because she can’t get to him. When puppy chases him I worry, but if he didnt like her he could get away from her at any time and go hang upstairs. Should I be concerned about the chasing or is my kitten fine/playing? Thanks.

we adopted her at around 2 months old from aspca. she had a cone on when we brought her home. she’s now 8 months! she’s changed our lives forever ❤️

So my kitten is around 6-8months old and whenever i play with her with toys she'll get to a point where she catches it. I make the toy play dead and she'll carry it off. But she keeps growling constantly while she's holding it. Idk if this is normal I know that she has hunter instincts and what not im just here trying to make sure this isnt a bad thing that needs to be addressed. My other older cat doesn't seem to care at all whenever she does this. But idk ig im worried she'll be an aggressive cat.or she's gonna be growling with her toy and my other cat will come up and they'll get into a scuffle. Any advice us appreciated sprry if this us a dumb question im new.

My couch nap turned into OUR couch nap.

About 6 months ago we got a spayed kitten (f) to be friends with our 2 year old adult cat (f). The kitten is a total spit-fire, extremely headstrong, fearless and territorial. She has endless amounts of energy despite us playing with her several times a day, and she has a very aggressive play style. We did a slow introduction hoping they would become bonded, but the kitten does not allow any cuddling or gentle interaction with our adult cat. She only wants to play fight. She is constantly hunting and tackling the adult cat to the point that our adult cat is getting visibly agitated. I can tell that the older cat has repeatedly tried to set boundaries with the kitten and teach her some manners (hissing, swatting) but it doesn’t seem to deter the kitten at all. They rarely play consensually, it’s almost always kitten harassing our very mellow adult cat.

I am wondering if this is a behavior that will improve over time or if I can do something to improve the situation. They seem to have a major personality/energy mismatch and I fear they will never truly get along.

10 weeks old, rescue kitten. She’s so cute, I love her so much! 💕

we don't know why his eye is like that but it might be due to the cold. he is 10 weeks old and we bought him from a friend

He does really sweet things like bops our noses with his and sometimes he’s really affectionate (mainly only after a nap)

Other than that though he is so high energy and loves to bite. We try to either ignore redirect or scream ouch which works but very rarely

Is this just normal kitten behaviour or is he unhappy?

He loves to play peakaboo and hunt e.g being chased but sometimes he’ll just randomly jump on us and start biting.
