This is kitten food, and the pieces are still a little big. . .Originally posted by PayItForward
Hi,
He should be on kitten food (it is in smaller chucks) until he is 12 months old. Try another brand if he dislikes the one he is on.
12 months? I thought it was 6 months.
I think he's just playing, but it's too rough for poor Hazel.Is he attacking your daughter or playing ? Personally I would adopt another 9 week old kitten so the kittens will play with each other and not your daughters face !!!
We actually had the opportunity to keep another kitten. Same age, probably same litter as Kittyrat, but we felt it would be unfait to keep her. (We called her Smokey, two little girls found her and were going to play with her and let her go when they were done since they weren't allowed to keep her, so they let me have her. I took her to a home run rescue, awesome place.)
The reason we can't get another kitten is SPACE.
We live in a 840 square foot apartment, that's not laid out very efficiently. When we moved here (Las Vegas) my husband and I expected it to be just us, but surprise, and we had Hazel (we wanted to wait another 3 years but oh well). So now we're a bit crowded. We have wall to wall worth of furniture (mostly bookshelves).
So, that's why we didn't keep Smokey. It wouldn't be fair to keep two cats in this small space. Especially since she's so used to having lots of space. (Where she's at now is HUGE.)
Anyway, we're hoping the soft paws will work as advertised so we don't end up needing to get him declawed if he doesn't get it when he reaches declaw age.
Okay, water only it is then.Spraying water at the cat is the right punishment but I wouldn't lock him up to. Punishment has to come at the moment of nawteness or they don't get it. I would just stick to water.
