Re: new kitten

He/she is one beautiful kitten.As Aurelia has already said try to be with her as much as possible and encourage play and contact but dont force it.Also be careful in the kitchen that there is no access to any cleaning stuff as a lot of it is very toxic to cats.

One minute we are saying play with string the next minute I am saying please dont let her play with it on her own ,she may eat it.Best to keep string/ ribbon for you and kitten play.Old loo roll/kitchen roll tubes,scrunched up receipts,pinpong balls fury mice,even an old sock rolled in to a ball much safer.Kittens love/need toys and scratch posts so looks like you will be off to the pet shop tomorrow

Re: new kitten

Totally agree with Buffie about the string. Great that she is already coming around to you though

Ping pong balls are excellent toys for kittens. It will wear her out big time, and she will burn off all her energy too, which means lots of scoffing to make up for it.

Re: new kitten

shes happy to try getting string near me, i think she forgets and then when realises how close she is she jumps a little and moves away then remembers string and pounces on it and then repeats

Re: new kitten

She is a little beauty, and sounds like she is settling in well.

Re: new kitten

A good way to get the kitten used to you is to sit on the floor with a book and read out loud in a soft voice whilst almost ignoring the kitten and she should hopefully come up and sniff and explore you.

Re: new kitten

i agree about not letting her play with the string alone, i`ve heard so many stories of them getting tangled or hanging themselves with it when left alone. you could try balling up some tin foil and rolling it for her, my 2 love them

she`s gorgeous btw i love black cats!

Re: new kitten

all seems ok , but she hasnt done a number 2 yet, shes had about 2-3 small bowls of meat, ive looked everywhere but shes not done anything, she has scratched around on the floor, shes sniffed the litter tray but not stood on it yet, she did do 2 number 1's on some newspaper i put down cos she peed in a corner, ive cleaned that up but she does goto that corner and does a scratch, so ive put the tray there hopeing she'll go in there, the kitchen light is off, as im thinking shell know that if its dark its sleep time if she does, she has a small plastic ball and some loo roll tubes if the wants to bat things about, im gonna look in pet shops during week for other bits
