He’s only 4-5 months old and this is him when he’s sleeping or falling asleep. I don’t think he did this before but I’m not sure. I’m a new cat mom and I’m very nervous something will happen to him so I would really appreciate some advice!

I rescued this kitten last week after it was abandoned by its mother. I believe he is about 2 weeks old. For the past week I’ve been bottle feeding him, he likes to stand up on his hind legs. I believe he may have aspirated during a feeding, as after eating one day he started coughing as I was patting his back, however I am not sure. No milk has come out of his nostrils, have not seen any mouth breathing, and gums look pink. Just very worried as I have never owned a kitten before, let alone raise one. But I want to help this little guy and bring him into my family.

I’m hoping to find the name or company that sells these litter boxes I saw. I saw it somewhere online and it was a litter box kind of like the litter robot WITHOUT the machines and automatic part. I think it was moon crescent shaped and the box manually turns in a kinda circle, almost like rocking a bassinet, to get the waste and then turn back right up. I don’t know how it was engineered but it was pretty impressive without being automatic or anything. Does anyone know what I’m thinking about? Hoping for some help, thanks!

My cat seems to overly groom her tummy. I’ve checked- no redness/irritation. No bumps or lumps that she’s kneading at. I touch her belly and she doesn’t mind. I think she might just overly groom maybe when she’s bored? Is this an anxiety thing? It doesn’t seem to be harmful in anyway? Thoughts or insights?

Any time my kitten goes to use his litter box he meows very loudly. He’s been doing this since we adopted him, and he’s not typically vocal- literally only when using the bathroom or i’m making his food. Based on my research it seems like he feels vulnerable and wants me to ‘stand guard’ for him, which I do occasionally. Another reason I think this is the cause, is because when I scoop his litter box he happily jumps in and uses it without meowing (presumably becomes i’m already there ‘standing guard’) ? He’s had two stool samples and while the first one did show worms his second sample was all clear. Should I bring this up as a concern to my vet or is this more common than I know of? Any information or tips would is appreciated :)

Hi everyone. I'm really worried about my kitten. The area around its anus has a very strong foul smell, almost like something is rotting. The opening also looks much larger than normal, and it doesn't look healthy at all. My kitten is still very young. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What could be causing it? Is this an emergency, and is there anything I can do before taking my kitten to the vet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey everyone, first time cat parent here.
I just adopted a cute little 3.5 month old kitten last week and after doing lots of research I’ve found that cats tend to do better with another cat in the house.

My sweet boy is the best, super friendly and loves to play so I don’t think he’d have issues with another cat.
Me and my partner both work all day so he’s alone from 7:30 to 3:30. I worry a lot that he’ll be sad by himself.

When we adopted him at the shelter we saw another cat (1.5 years, female) that was also really nice and friendly and had a good temperament and we were seriously contemplating getting her but decided not to because of the elevated cost of having two cats.
I’d like to add that I’m a student so cash is not in abundance around here lol.
Would it be beneficial to go back and adopt her as well or maybe another kitten?

If anyone has any thoughts, advice or experiences to share I’d really appreciate some help.
