Cats know all the best places for peepies!

Thanks ladies, my ozzy is asleep on my bed the lil butter! I have my bro painting and i think the paint scares him lol

Don't be sad about getting him snipped - he'll thank you for it and you won't have a smelly house

He will need to be neutered at around 5 - 6 months of age, some vets will only do it once they're 6 months old but I wanted my two boys done ASAP as I was worried in case they started spraying. They say it makes cats more affectionate once they're neutered too but mine were so soppy and loving anyway I couldn't imagine them getting even more affectionate but it's true

They do teeth aswell, he will lose all his milk teeth and have his adult ones by the time he's around 8 months old. I found one of my kittens teeth and kept it somewhere 'safe' but have no idea where i put it so it's lost forever now

Edit: Too slow

Aw bless. It depends on your vets practices but anytime after 5 months or so I'd say is good for neutering. You'll need to keep them indoors until they are though. You can get them chipped at the same time

And yes they do teethe but not like hoomans. Their baby teeth will fall out in place of adult teeth and they tend to swallow the old teeth if I recall. No harm, its natural.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #52 on:** July 09, 2008, 07:39:55 AM »

He's beautifully marked, and his little paws are eminently kissable!

sweet_rose · « **Reply #51 on:** July 08, 2008, 20:58:04 PM »

aww thanks for the top tip hun i shall be trying that one out, he is currently sat looking at my dish of ice cream !!!!! cheeky lil fella.
hmmm i might let you borrow him but I'm affraid my hubby would not be impressed if i gave ozzy away

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #50 on:** July 08, 2008, 20:52:10 PM »

When my kittens started to try and scratch things I said 'No' firmly then gently picked them up and took them to their scratching post and gently moved their paws in a scratching motion on the post. They learnt pretty quickly that their scratchy pole was the only thing they can scratch... that is unless I dare to close the bedroom door then they cannot help but scratch and yowl at the top of their voices outside

Ozzy is seriously cute - if he gets too much just send him my way

sweet_rose · « **Reply #49 on:** July 08, 2008, 20:44:13 PM »

what more loopy than he already is ? HELP lol

Beemumma · « **Reply #48 on:** July 08, 2008, 20:40:50 PM »

Catnip on the scratch post usually encourages the mogs to it, sends 'em a bit doolally mind which is hilarious

as for the crying, if there's some siamese in his blood that may also account for it, they tend to be very vocal, permanently.

is there something i can buy to spray to stop him scratching my carpet ? sure ive seen something also something to encourage him to scratch on his scratchin post ? or am i just making it up lol ?

Pet Behave Training Spray will stop the little fella scratching on your carpet or furniture (you spray the area under attack) while catnip or Feliway will attract him to his scratching post.

It's early days, then.

If he's only been with you a week, he's still finding his way round and missing his sibblings. Fingers crossed he'll grow out of it soon. They develop so fast at that age!

sweet_rose · « **Reply #43 on:** July 08, 2008, 16:03:07 PM »

he was 10 weeks old, only had him a week.

Hiya, Sweet Rose

Have you tried a radio with Ozzy? Radio 4 is good because there is a lot of talking voices. Can I ask how old he was when you got him?

He is clearly missing his mum and sibblings.

I am sure things will improve when he has a pal to play with.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #41 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:16:50 AM »

Mmmm - just seen the delightful Ozzy - was meant to be comparing energy price plans, but this is so much more fun!

Hope he's settling in better now, and that you're managing to get some sleep!

Ozzy is simply delish

to Purrs. How old is the newbie due to arrive on 22nd, a girl? boy? What colour? Any pics of him/her? Ozzy is going to be so happy to have new company

Bazsmum · « **Reply #38 on:** July 06, 2008, 11:09:09 AM »

OO! Another gorgeous kitty!

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #37 on:** July 05, 2008, 14:11:41 PM »

OMG he is gorgeous. He will be crying but he isn't used to being on his own ... sometimes a small soft teddy (the sort of thing you'd give to a human baby) is enough to give them a bit of reassurance and something to snuggle up with.

sweet_rose · « **Reply #36 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:42:39 AM »

lol i shall see what i can do just for you

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:36:27 AM »

Thanks honey i will try putting his bed in our room tonight anything for a good nights sleep !!!
oh i do have to tell u this....he did his first sneeze this morning..it was the cutest thing ever !!!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #33 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:23:52 AM »

welcome to our world!

He is young but he will test your limits even this early, he's probably not used to being alone for a while but he does need to learn eventually. Leave out loads of toys for him to play with in the kitchen. But sometimes its just that he wants to play and can't understand why you're asleep when he wants to play, therefore, cry to make you get up so you can

He needs to learn early that you won't respond when you're sleeping. I would though, because he's still a baby, pop his bed in the room with you (doesn't need to be in/on your bed). Sometimes that reassurance of you there or your hand on him will encourage him to go back to sleep. As he gets older you can slowly change the pattern. The important thing is to make sure that you don't get him in the habit of knowing he can cry and you respond all the time. Otherwise you are sunk!

sweet_rose · « **Reply #32 on:** July 05, 2008, 09:17:47 AM »
