Cat Chat 2

[mew,]

so, yesterday i brought this gorgeous girl home. i decided to call her luna, as i've always wanted to have a cat called that c: she's currently asleep on the couch, as she had a big morning of exploring and playing. her first night was pretty good, there wasn't too much fuss from her.

Oh. My. God. She is ADORABLE!!!

I've been creeping around here for a bit so I might as well make my kitten and myself known.
Around March 30th or so we got an about three or so month old kitten we named Zelda. She was a stray so she is a mix of lots of cats but I like looking at what I think she is a mix of. She has generally medium/long fur and her tail has longer fur than her body. I'm not to educated on colors and what type of pelt she has so i'd love to hear what you think on that and breed mix. She is an absolute snuggle butt that loves attention, very vocal, never bites or scratches (only humans. She kills other animals if she can reach them), and has a very silk soft coat. I have a problem and take about 5 pictures of her a day so if you ever want more just ask.
My person favorite picture:

She has similar patterning to my cat Wynnie, who has a lynx coat. But since the patterns aren't all over and just on her face and tail, she's probably a lynx point. As for possible breeds, it's hard to say. The more common of the long haired breeds that I know off the top of my head are ragdoll and snowshoe. Based on her personality and coat though, I would say maybe she has some ragdoll in her, but as I said it's hard to say for certain when you have a moggy (mongrel) cat.

So I took the kittens from work home for the weekend, got up and 6am, fed them then went back to bed. At around 10:30am I went to feed the again and the male had pooped in the cage, both kittens had crawled all through it... they were just orange with poo!!!
Ended up washing each one under the bathroom tap, drying them off in a towel and feeding them. Their now snuggled up on top of a rubber glove of warm water under their blankets. Oh the joys of hand raising kittens!

do you wipe their butts with a wet tissue after they eat? I've heard that's how the cat moms teach them to pee and poop, and it could greatly get rid of some unexpected messes.

I have been wiping their butts after they eat, and again a little while later. However they seem to be peeing on their own, changed the blankets in their cage today as it was covered in wee! When I toilet them, i generally can wipe their bottom once and they will go automatically, so i imagine one of them may have wiped its bottom on the blankets and decided to go....

The patterns aren't just on her face and tail the pictures just don't show the lighter colors on her back very well. She has a huge patch of a light lilac/brownish like colors on her back and a large spot of brown on the back of her left leg.

@DollyDo
She's probably lynx and white, then. c: Just like my Wynnie, how weird is that?

She's super soft and sweet, and her meows are really smooth and loud but she only meows half way? She goes: "Mri" pretty much.
-snip-

she sounds like my cat, shylo. like, mah, meh, mreh, mrih, reh, mri, mreh etc... oh, and then there's the classic, mreeeoooowww hhhhheeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss!!!! to the two lunkheads i own named peekaboo and prince.
Shylo is a little bab, she's just the sweetest thing ever! that is, until you touch her and make her mad. She doesn't give a warning growl. It's just a mroow! then a nip to the hand. Then she just sits there and growls loudly. touch her, and you'll lose a finger after that.
But yeah. She's a total lap cat and will purr nonstop.

Personally, it sounds like you combined Professor, Liebe and Jovi into one cat with some type of Daisy in there tbh.

How old are they? If they are starting to go on their own, you can try to introduce them to a litterbox. I believe mine was around 6 weeks old when I found him, and he took to the litterbox straight away. If they are younger, youll probably have to put them in there yourself and make sure they don't decide to taste the litter. But other than that, I don't think it's too early if they can poop on their own.

I got a new kitty yesterday !! I've been bugging my parents for one ever since my cat died in May. Her name is Lucille (The Walking Dead fans will know what that's from (; ), Lucy for short. Shes extremely shy though, shes been hiding in my room ever since we got her and she won't come out ):

[fluffycat6]

Can you foster a cat if you already have cats? I saw that one of the cat rescues in my area is looking for foster homes for mother cats with a litter of kittens and I would love to help out but I already have four cats. Usually when we have a kitten they stay in a room but i'm not sure if this would be enough room for a mother cat or a whole litter. I'm mostly worried that they will pass on disease to my cats, but i'm not sure how likely that would be.
