Anyone just got a kitten, or getting one? Thought we could chat about all things kitten (like the puppy threads in the doghouse).

We brought home our kitten (and 4th housecat) yesterday.

This is Dove

Omg too cute!

Omg, adorable!
We have a 5 month old kitten. He's so so cute but boy is he a handful! I admit I wasn't prepared for it to be this much hard work.

This was when he was teeny tiny :)

My two are grown-up but what lovely kittens you both have!

Dove is fabulous !
Chicku- I can hear that photo 😂

We've had ours two weeks now, a brother and sister pair- Twig and wasabi. They are delightful, but so full of energy!

Meet our crazy Devon Rex. Couldn't love her anymore.
This is our first kitten so everything is a surprise. She doesn't like to be on her own so thankfully I am WFH.

@Madieracake Those ears! Too cute for words.

Dove smells very strongly of mushrooms. Our other cats aren't quite sure what he is. He is very monkey like and loves a fuss.

Dove looks so cosy in his little jumper. Does he let you put his jumpers on without a fuss?

We just got two Devon Rexs, very sweet cats but one of the kittens (6Months) is now on heat & its driving everyone mad with howling during the night! One more week before we can get her to the vets

Yes he doesn't mind at all. All the bought ones we have are still too big even though he is 14wks. So he's wearing ones that either I've knotted or my daughter has crocheted. He's been neutered too before he came home to us.

@GonzoGonzo this is why I swore I would never get another female cat. The wait for my ragdoll girl to get neutered felt like forever whilst she cried for nights on end.

Your kittens are all so adorable! The ears!!

We have just added Oreo to our family. Not had a cat since I was a kid.

I adopted this munchkin Monday.

He's roughly 6 months old and is joining 2 cats and a dog so we're taking it slowly with introductions.

I love him so much already, he's the sweetest & cuddliest little love.

I'm loving everyone's kittens btw! So so so so cute.

We collected our two sisters yesterday evening. They're 11 weeks and seem very content and happy around us.
But neither has done a poo yet. They eaten (mainly cooked chicken and wet kitten food). They have access to two litter trays with Cat San non-clumping litter. They go in the litter tray and dig about no poo. I'm presuming they have done a wee but I am not sure but presumably would have urinated elsewhere by now. So a couple of questions

1. Is it normal for kittens to not poo for a while when they move to a new hone?
2. With the Catsan non-clumping litter should it be obvious when they've done a wee or does it just get absorbed?

As I say they are affectionate and playful but just getting a little anxious about the toileting

1. Is it normal for kittens to not poo for a while when they move to a new hone?

Yes - it took mine about 3 days to wee or poo. They won't do it until they feel safe because in the wild they are vulnerable when they wee or poo. They seem to be able to hold it in for much longer than humans could.

I've never used Catsan but it may be that they haven't had a wee yet.

They look like little teddy bears @timeandagain1 😍

Thanks @ClariceQuiff, that is reassuring. I didn't realise they could hold in wee for long time too. I'll keep checking the litter trays.

I use catsan and it is obvious, you will see a little wet patch. My kitten has been used to worlds best litter which everyone raves about. But I'm slowly adding catsan in because it's what my other cats are used to and it doesn't stick to him like worlds best.
Dove has been very good at having his ears and feet cleaned. He is definitely more monkey than cat though

Just adding my new fur balls - they arrived 3 days ago at 12 weeks old... Two Siberian Neva Masquarades

They're gorgeous @ItsRainingTacos - how cute that they already have little ruffs! I haven't come across Siberian Neva Masquerades - are
they related to Maine Coons?

@ClariceQuiff thank you😊, I can't stop looking at them since they arrived. They're a sub breed of Siberians - some say they're their own breed but who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️. They seem so mainly differ in colouring.

These guys are super cute and constantly purring - it's like they're motorised 😂.

I haven't got a kitten. I'm just gate crashing to coo at them.

Where did you get your cat tree @ItsRainingTacos? Very beautiful kittens, the siberian is a lovely breed.
