Yes, by 8 weeks old, she should definitely be using a litter box. An enema is no big deal to someone who knows how to administer one, so take her to a vet and let them check her out. Once you get a poop (take the one from the vet in a baggy) and place it in her litter box and then place her in it and she should be able to figure it out from there.

I didn’t know which cafe to post in, but I’ll just do it here! Thanks MS for testing out Thursday for us–I’ll hope it’s better than just ‘MEH’, because Avery and I have to do a little birthday shopping to pick up last minute items.

The pics are so darned cute and I can’t figure out why no one will give that little orangey five, cuz I WILL!

Hi all! I typed a lengthy post this morning only to have it disappear into cyber space after it told me I had to be logged in to post. Really? I WAS logged in…otherwise I couldn’t have posted to begin with. 😡 Sorry, but I’m still feeling a bit salty about it. Why do we have to log in all the time anyway? Just wondering since we are all…[Read more]

Hi Laura, this thread was originally posted a long time ago. But I think it’s possible that a cat losing hair like this could be ringworm. You can try and over the counter medication called Lotrimin (there are others also) which is for humans but works for cats. Remember that it is contagious to humans so washing everything he has touched and been…[Read more]

Well, I’m not stressed over it, but I had to light a fire in the woodburner this morning since it’s only in the 30’s and very windy. Anyone guess where all my cats are? 😆

It must be the season for cats to not want to eat. Thumbalina is giving me fits, but she has always been strange at times and has a very sensitive stomach. She didn’t eat…[Read more]

I think you are right about the powdered KMR then switching to the liquid, helped to solve the constipation issue. A soft mushy sort of toothpaste consistency and yellow is what you will get until they start eating solid food. I like the alternating KMR/goat’s milk regimen for me–peace of mind they are getting good nutrition, hydration, and…[Read more]

Oh yes JJ, by all means help yourself and anyone else who would like warm peach cobbler! That was the easiest recipe ever–I’ll post the recipe tomorrow!

I posted some links for you that are full of information and will tell you most of what you are asking. It is scary trying to hand…[Read more]

Well, it’s sideways raining here, ugh, but a great day to be inside!! Which is what I plan to do. And a bit of cooking since we have been on the go for the last couple of days. I am going to try a new peach cobbler recipe I happened upon in the newspaper. It’s very simple, quick, and sounds delicious. If it’s worthy, I’ll share the recipe.

Gotta…[Read more]

If it’s a tortie, it’s probably a girl. Most torties, like calicos are girls. However, in very rare cases, they can be boys. I’ve seen it on the internet, but not my own personal experience.

Congratulations, and enjoy watching them through their various stages–it’s so much fun to watch!!

It must be normal for HIM, so I wouldn’t worry. Especially since he is doing so well–eating, peeing, and pooping and it’s not diarrhea. If things should change, then you might want to get him checked out by a vet, but sounds like you both are doing wonderfully! Don’t change anything since he’s doing well. You are lucky so be thankful and enjoy…[Read more]

These are the problems I’ve always had using liquid and powdered formula. You can feed them goat’s milk entirely if you wish, it’s safe to do so. You can get it in the refrigerated section with the regular milk, or in the baking aisle in concentrated in cans (mix 1 to 1) or the powdered version (which I prefer). It’s full of probiotics and is good…[Read more]

Hey it’s Friday!! Another beauteous day too. Well, I cleaned up the cat yak BEFORE I stepped in it. Just another free service I provide. *sigh* And this was just after one of them scarfed it down too fast.

I like Scrabble too and I usually win, but haven’t played for a long time. It would be more fun now playing with my adult children since they…[Read more]

Lagatta, your salad sounded so good that when I went grocery shopping today, I picked up the ingredients for it. The white cannellini beans were easy to find, along with the other ingredients. I hope you get some of this nice weather we are having even though it’s supposed to snow here again in a few days. I have to laugh at this weather it’s so…[Read more]

ConCATulations, Weenybeans!! Keep an eye on them and her, and if any of them don’t look like they are thriving, be ready to step in and feed it if you need to. Letting her raise them is best for them, just make sure to keep feeding her lots, she is producing milk for 4, so she will be hungry!

Good morning from Thursday here in Ohio–where the temperature and the wind speed seem to coincide! Up into the 70’s today with wind gusts up to 50 mph…makes it hard to enjoy the outdoors… 😳

MS, what I meant about not seeing posters was in the topics and replies sections you used to see the person’s name beside the thread when they…[Read more]

Heck I thought I had posted in today’s cafe, but posted in the National Pet day instead. So confusing not seeing posters, and shortened menu in Topics and Replies. I know I’m missing people asking for help.
