Mystic, any chance it's her teeth?  I switched to kitten chow for KB because he's not eating dry food like he used to.  I think that's also why he's getting hairballs more.  But the kitten chow pieces are smaller, so he can swallow them whole if he needed to.  I've been trying to check KB's teeth to see if he's losing them or anything, but everytime I try to open his mouth, he breaks out the claws.  I like my skin on my arms intact, tyvm!

Yes, the teeth are a possibility.  I've experienced the same thing when trying to look at her teeth that you have when trying to look at KB's teeth.  I'll pick her up some kitten chow the next time I'm at the store.  I'd like the vet to have a look at her, too.   Thankfully, she can eat the canned food.

Good morning fellow followers of the fine ferocious feline fur friends

S2S, good advice. MFT, you can also try offering some of the kitten milk available in your grocery store as a supplement.

And the vet is a must from what i've read so far. Sounds like your fur baby may need an extraction or a cleaning. Peridontal disease is a big issue for some kittys.

Yes, the kitten milk is an idea.  I may pick some up along with some kitten chow as soon as the roads have dethawed and it's safe to drive again.  I think the vet is a must, too, and she's scheduled for Saturday A.M.

Best wishes for that appointment, I hope it is something mild.

Regarding kitten milk, just as a tip (and not sure if it is a good one) but I started now to buy human lactose free milk for them, simply due to the fact that my cats love milk and with those little ones I ruin my finances even more with 5 cats. During my mums birthday the gf from my great great cousin made us realise that she is allergic to lactose and therefore bought lactose free milk, following which I got the idea that this should be fine to the cats as well, as after all (as far as I know, I can be wrong about it) thats the only or main difference between normal human milk and kitten milk.

anyhow, since then my cats get human lacto free milk, much cheaper and they get it more often. And whilst I know that some folks say they don't need milk, my cats always got milk in the past, not daily, but at least 3 days a week and I wont change that :o)

Anyhow, I hope it goes well, I recently was worried that spicy, the white and tabby one which is cleaning himself on the picture, needs the vet as he hurt his back leg and lost a heck of a lot of fur...I so wish I would know what had happened...thankfully with rescue remedy he got soon fine again with no limping and doesnt need a vet...as right now I simply cant afford a vet. I mean in a real emergency I am sure I would get money from parents when it is life threatening but is just better when you don't need to add such bills to current financial stress which already exists.

Once I found my next job Urmel will get fixed and I am pretty sure that I will fix summer after her next litter...as I still want her to have one litter, but then call it a day and let her have a rest. So I hope she won't have too many in her next litter either as I want to keep them

But that will then be it, more than enough furrys then

Everybody stayed inside and slept most of this chilly, icy day (except me, of course--the one that has to support them all, LOL)
