Yeah, I'd tell her to keep the patio door closed unless she's watching. He's terrified and he might jump. Tell her to keep putting food out for him, keep him closed in one room with the food and a cat box if she can figure out...

I have worked as a fosterer, and if we have a good family for a particular kitten at 8 weeks, we let the kitten go. If you start looking at 8 weeks, perhaps your litter will be gone by the time they're 12 weeks.

I understand the situation because I've been in it before. I've continued hiding a cat after getting "caught" and I see no problem with locking him in your bedroom during the day as long as he gets out in the evening. Put...

I've heard about extended nursing in cats, but our mamacats must have read "The Case Against Breastfeeding," because one weaned at about 7 weeks and the other at 8. Mama started forcibly pawing them away when they wanted to...
