Hi Chinadoll,

Congrats on the new kitten! Gigi sounds beautiful!

As far as the feeding, I think you are doing it correctly. You may want to read the packages to see how much you should be feeding...you don't want a food obsessed cat. I think that if you wanted to have food out all day, you should have a little of the dry food in a bowl just in case she gets hungry. At that age they seem to eat a lot, all day. Our 9 week old kitten loves to eat! His poop was runny because he was also being fed Friskies...we switched to Nutro and that is why. His poop is much better now.

I think Gigi may not like Scout because she is a girl. She'll get used to him, it's just a matter of time. We brought Basil (new kitten) home last Saturday and Noah (boy, 1 year old kitty) took to him right away! Almost a week later, Noel (almost 1 year old female kitty) is FINALLY not hissing as much. She'll even go as far as sniffing him and then walking away....quite an improvement from hissing, growling and swating at the kitten.

You seem to be doing well with the flea problem. Basil had mange and fleas. He got his first shot for the mange on Monday (along with Noah and Noel...poor things!) and got Frontline that night. We are going to give him a flea bath for kittens tomorrow afternoon and a good brushing. As far as the flea eggs...I would just vacume a lot. You may have to give your farrets and Scout some Frontline too. Just to get rid of any remaining fleas. Maybe you could even spray some bug spray on you and your boy friend.

It'll work out...it takes time for everyone to adapt. Our household is SLOWLY getting somewhat back to normal.

Keep us updated. And we LOVE pictures...I'm very much looking forward to that!!
