My youngest cat, Pumpkin, has been getting into fights with my two older girls lately. I try to break them up as much as possible, but apparently not enough because I've been finding blood on her. It's never a lot, a small spot every other day or so. Whenever I check for scratches I can never find anything on her, and the two other cats seem to be fine too. Should I be concerned?

@Nicky Midnight & @Desperado!

Thank you so much guys! I'm sorry for my late response, but as you can imagine it was quite a busy week with 6 little kittens running around. c:

I followed both of your advice and essentially followed my heart and my instincts. Although I loved the markings of the more seal colored kittens and I think that they are going to be beautiful cats, I bonded closely with the littler of the two flame point boys. If I were to just look at pictures and pick a kitten that way, he wouldn't have been my first choice, but after getting to know him I absolutely fell in love and he quickly became the cutest to me soon after.
He is very sweet and liked to find my lap to sit on. He was always coming to find me, which was adorable. Like all kittens he's playful but not as rambunctious and trouble-making as two of his brothers and his bigger sister. He does not mind being picked up at all and will sit still and not squirm when I pick him up. (Almost all of the others squirm quite a bit).
I love him and I can't wait to bring him home permanently in a few weeks.

Here are some photos of the little guy that I have decided to give a permanent home to! c:
Do you guys have any ideas for names?
Without further ado, here he is! [<A small album of photos of him]

So my little Meow has had food allergy and stomach sensitivity issues for a while. We've tried a good deal of brands, and the local feed store recommended EVO. Anyone have experience with this brand and whether it's good or bad? Looks fine to me, but I really am only good with dog foods ;u;

Evo is one of the brands of cat food I highly recommend! I haven't personally fed it myself because it's hard to find in my area, but it is a top rated food!

*ShadowMagic* wrote:Prince, owned by *ShadowMagic*, is a 12 pound Norwegian forest cat with long, creamy orange fur.
His favorite things to do are to sleep on human's face and chase invisible non-existent creatures.

so, about a month ago, i noticed that Prince's back paws were a little bloody. I was a little concerned, though he didn't appear to notice. So, i just looked at his paws. they seemed fine, until I looked at his claws. They were shredded. Not like, torn off or anything, no. Literally like shredded. Again, he didn't seem to take notice of this, so i just assumed he was fine. Which he was.
My only question is, How did this happen? Or why? The lazy lump is inside like 85% of the time and he's not aggressive towards others at all (he actually loves to play with the other three cats).

Peekaboo, owned by *ShadowMagic*, is a 14 pound cat with long, thick, black fur. He is a mix between bombay and other
unknown breeds. His favorite things to do include bringing gifts such as rats, squirrels, lizards, or birds into the house for human and sleeping on dad's lap.

Peekaboo is a huge cat- smaller than prince, but like rock solid. He weighs more, too. About once a week at least, he catches anything from crickets and lizards to squirrels and scrub jays. It's so annoying- one time he even brought in a bat! a live bat!
he gets in fights with strays - a lot. He's probably the toughest and most feared cat on the block. the other day, i was him terrify the pi** out of a stray. literally. it was hilarious and pretty cool to see that he can defend our property and other cats from our home.

@*ShadowMagic*
It's hard, if not impossible to say for sure what might have caused that to happen to Prince's nails. My first thought would be that he was in an intense fight and his back claws took the brunt of it. But since he's an indoor cat, I imagine that someone is around most of the time and would have noticed if that were the case. My second thought is that perhaps he was climbing something and slid down on his back claws?
I'm definitely not a veterinarian and I can't say for sure, but perhaps that might be what happened.

@*ShadowMagic* The only thing I can think of that would cause damage like that is a hard wood or tile floor, or a tree. It is possible that he felt a burst of energy and went dashing off somewhere, maybe up a tree or around your house. Even the laziest of cats need to expend energy sometimes.

@Middy
Very cute little ones! The mother cat is beautiful as well! These are all going to be outdoor/mousing cats? Were those her only two kittens?

@ru. He looks like a Heracles or Jupiter to me, but I've always had a fondness for Greek names. ^^"

Hello! I recently got a cat, and I'm looking for something to name him, I want to call him something that is creative, but not too complicated.
He is male, and very friendly and loveable. c:
