My mom's friend gave us a kitten that's about the size of...3 fists? I'm not sure how old he/she is.1) how do you know if it's a male or female?
2) when i let it free, it hides in places that i can't reach! I put it in a pretty big box where it can't come out of it..should i let it roam around into places i can't find? or keep it in the box till it grows a bit?
3) there's also a mouse in my house...if i let it out it'll be dangerous for my little kitten wouldn't it?
4) i have 5 oz cans for my kitten...how many times and how much of the can should i feed my kitten?
5) also for the cat litter box..i put my kitten in that after i fed it, but he/she wouldn't poo or pee...how do i know when to put my kitten it it
6)any other tips?

I have kitten that is now 7 months old. I adopted a 7 week old kitten on Sunday. I keep the 7wk old in the bathroom and the 7 month gets to roam the house. The first day there was hissing from the 7 month. On Monday I put the 7 wk in the bedroom and left the bathroom door open so the 7 month could get the scent of the new kitten. I've had them trade places several times since then. Fast forward to today and I left the bathroom door open and let the new kitten roam. The 7 month growled at first and then just started following him around sniffing the 7wks tail. Then the 7 month kinda grabbed the new kitten and I saw teeth so I separated them. Was the 7 month old trying to play with the kitten or trying to hurt him?

Okay well my cat had her kittens Augest 10, around 11 pm. She had 3 orange tabbys. They are 2 days old, as of today. But the problem is, there is a runt. The two bigger ones are pushing it out of the way, and the runt just ends up laying in the corner by itself.

Today I noticed it was breathing hard. It looked as if it had a stuffy nose. So I read some articles and it said that newborn kittens, can only feed by smell. And obviously this little kitten couldnt smell cuz it's nose was stuffed. So I wiped his nose, and turned on the shower in the bathroom really hot. Then I sat in there with the kitten in the steam, so it would clear his nose up. I also fed him KMR ( kitten milk replacment) And at first he didnt drink it, but within 5 minutes, he was latched on to it. Should I continue these feedings? If so, how much, how often, and how much should he weigh, at 2 days? The kitten seems to be a little under weight, and is weak. The mother cleans it but the kitten just isnt nursing from her.
Also, the other 2 kittens are doing great, so no worries about them.Also, I forgot to mention this, but the runt kitten is breathing normal now.

Have you always been an admirer of the beautiful and dangerous leopards and ocelots? While these spotted big cats can be lethal pets, there is a domesticated cat with the same exotic appearance, the Ocicat.

If you want to own a cat that looks as striking as the jungle cats, then you may just want to consider the Ocicat. These cats provide the best of both worlds - a wild look and a sweet nature.

These cats were actually developed completely by accident when a breeder in the United States was trying to create a Siamese of a different color by breeding a Siamese cat to an Abyssinian cat and ended up with a lovely spotted kitten instead. Of course, while the Ocicat may look wild, this breed actually has a wonderful personality.

The Ocicat was promoted to provisional status in the Cat Fanciers Association in 1986. During the time, the registry was closed to Siamese and American Shorthair outcrosses, although the use of Abyssinians is allowed until 2005. The Ocicat reached championship competition status in both CFA and TICA for the 1987 show season. The breed is recognized in all other registries as well.

My new kitten is 4 months and 2 weeks old. Sometime in the spring I would like to get another kitten so she can have some company. She is a very sweet kitten and loves anyone and anything. She is a tabby kitten. What is the best age to adopt another kitten for a playmate for my kitten?
She is a female kitten if this helps too!
