  • @michaelahughes2735
    @michaelahughes2735 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Another good idea for your new munchkin is a safe collar. If your cat will be able to go outside, it’s a good idea to put a collar and identification tag on them. That way if they wander or are hurt. The person who has found them can phone you. The tag needs a phone number ( the one you have on you the most) your last name or the cats name. If the cat is spayed/neutered. Make sure the collar is a safety collar. All that means is, if your cat gets the collar caught on something, the fastener will just undo and the cat is free. It’s simple but it will prevent any awful accidents or death of your cat. If you put the collar on the kitten as soon as you get him/her it won’t bother them as much because they’ll be too busy playing and generally being a kitten to notice too much.

    My 21 year old cat passed just over 6 months ago and he always used to stand on cabinets or other higher objects until he got into his more senior years when he would only be able to make it onto the sofa back and he would stand there, I had no idea it was because of what you mentioned about them feeling more certain or powerful! He did have a tower but literally never even went near it 🤣

    before my cats came into my care, they were living in my dad's home. he was extremely paranoid that they would scratch end tables, sofa, etc. yet they only had one scratcher ( a door hanging one) they used it as well as furniture. i had a post for them when they came here and they go right for it. don't even think about using the sofa.

  • @Nobody12409

    One more item: Definitely get a recommendation for a good veterinarian and line-up that first vet visit for the new kitten. Some vet clinics will even discount initial visits if you adopt a cat from the local shelter.

    • @benw9949
      @benw9949 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      A vet checkup and getting any shots, deworm, de-flea, etc. are essential for any kitten or cat. Also to schedule spay/neuter. You may have vet info on what care a kitten or cat got, if you're adopting from a shelter or pet store. Good. But bring the kitty in for a checkup by your local vet to be sure. Some vet clinics offer discounts for newly adopted pets, and some offer discounts for a mama cat and/or a litter of kittens. Vets can generally work with you. Better to know what you're dealing with than for it to get worse because you delayed or didn't know. You want your new buddy to be as healthy and happy and strong as they can be.

    hey so based on this video and the one about kitten food- i bought wellness core ( turkey and chicken liver pate) and instinct. My kittens have not taken well to wellness and have been throwing up to the point of lethargy. I had to rush them to the emergency vet in the middle of the night. I asked the vet about wellness and he said he hadn't heard of the brand and he said that the big 3 that he reccomends are Purina, Hill Science and Royal Canin. He said those 3 are the ones which have actual evidence backing them. Now I could've just gotten a bad batch of wellness food too but thought I'd put this out there. Another piece of advice he gave me was to try to stick to one type of wet food and not change up the brands too much. I was surprised since in one video by this channel- I remember you encouraged viewers to change up a kittens food so that they don't become picky eaters incase a brand becomes discontinued- which made sense to me too. However, the same vet told me changing up the brands too much can cause physiological stress to kittens and adult cats alike, which could be the cause of the vomiting.
    P.S: My kittens are 3.5 months old.

    The best thing to get when adopting a new kitten or cat is another kitten or cat. If you’ve lost a cat and want that special sort of company from new kittens replace as much as possible. Even after being washed etc they don’t seem too keen on second hand gear.

    This is a very good and informative video. I like that you cover all things but also don't over complicate what new kittens need. A lot of people can become overwhelmed thinking they need lots of things or might get the wrong things. You don't need anything expensive or crazy. Just make sure the cat has enough entertainment, comfort and food.

    Mallory, have you reviewed backpack cat carriers? I'm a travel nurse, and me and my cat Sushi travel the US. Sushi walks on a leash, but has a tendency to stop when she gets tired or something or someone will freak her out and she wants me to carry her. This kinda limits what we go see. I was thinking, if I had a good backpack carrier I could take her with me on longer walks- which frankly I need to walk more.
    I love your videos and would like a shirt or hat.

  • @benw9949

    Kittens go through a long phase where they begin to climb and jump. This is exercise and learning, play and exploration. They NEED this. They may drive you nuts climbing and jumping on anything in sight! :) So a cat tree / tower is a great idea for any cat or kitten. It gives them a high place to survey their world and a safe place to nap or play or hang out. (I need to get a new one.) -- Cat-proof your home like you would child-proof it. But glass bottles and cleaning supplies ma need to o into a latched / doorknob cabinet, and be aware kittens are likely to get bored and try climbing almost anywhere at some point. -- You may need to buy child-proof latches for cabinets or doors. Cats can learn how to open cabinets without latches, and even closet or room doors, and they will try out the same techniques on other doors. When one cat learns, the others can sometimes learn it too, or else they let the clever one do it for them. Because, cats. :)

    • @benw9949
      @benw9949 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Puppy / Kitten Training Pads / "Wee-Wee" Pads -- can be a good precaution right outside the litter box, both for kittens and for elder cats. If a cat or kitten spits up a hairball or food, then after cleaning up the spot, a training pad placed there for a while can be a good option. Note: Sometimes the cat will let it be, but sometimes they will want to "cover" it by scraping their paws, digging aoround the spot to cover it. That's OK. It's generally easier to throw out a training pad than to clean the bare floor or carpet. -- This helped tremendously when my senior cat, now gone, had digestive system trouble, both ends, during his last couple of years of life. It made it much easier to care for him and clean up accidents. I learned too not to fuss at him or scold him, but to be sympathetic and just clean it up. He couldn't help it. -- It's the same with young kittens. They will usually learn litterbox training very quickly, though, as covering up their waste is instinctive, almost. Once shown how and a few trial runs, kittens usually figure this out with few to no accidents. They are usually very clean, when healthy and not under emotional trouble. But especially young kittens have accidents in any behavior, just like babies and toddlers. They learn fast.

    Thank you for the tips. One suggestion is access to Electrical power cables, like on computers. Just spent couple weeks de cluttering, but more dusting (Maids year off). Have two computer stations and realized 20% of cables were not even in use, and what could I put in a drawer. Sour Apple spray might be all that is needed, yet some reviews are negative on them working. Put Sour A. spray on cable, then a 1/2" split loom to keep a few cables within, and spray it down, all while unplugged, then zip ties to keep it closed in few spots. Use only Flush Cutters to cut the tie wraps or you could injure your cat. Maybe not good if your kitten likes plastic. Mine being 7 mos old was a requirement to adopting her. Then drilled hole in each end of small plastic bin large with locking clips enough to house surge protector, etc.and put on top of computer. Test will be Sunday if it works. Also have done before bringing kitten home if like 4 mos or older, cats seem to gain interest if something changes. Just my two cents. Feel free to delete comment. Thanks

    Hi! May i also put out another consideration with cat carriers? I am a vet assistant, so often I am the one in my vet office to hold the kitties for vet. This also includes enticing them to come out of their carriers when they arrive. Many cats are extremely fearful and won't walk out on their own. So having (ideally) a hard shell cover with a lid that easily cant be taken off/put back on. Means that your vet office is able to safely take them out while minimizing the amount of stress. Even tho many soft shell carriers have an opening on the top, it is often not large enough to safely get our hands (and sometimes a towel to wrap them in aswell) inside to lift your kitty out. Moreover when you unzip any part of the carrier they often collapse. Again making it extremely difficult for us to safely transfer your pet. It is just another consideration! So maybe the hard shell should be the first pick but then if you do a lot of traveling you could always look into a soft shell in the future?
    *I am "fear free" certified (you can google it if you want) but it means i have taken courses on how to minimize stress for animals at the vet hospital. And with that course a hardshell carrier is again the top recommendation for vet visits

    I never even thought about trimming my cats' nails until they got very old. Their claw sheaths aren't shed regularly now and I have to cut them out they'll curl back into their pawpads. I know a lot about cats but I did not foresee that particular aspect of them growing old!

    Greetings Mallory and the All About Cats team... Mallory, I know your Wessie is a senior cat and I rescued a senior cat who was an abandoned stray I found living under a bush in my front yard last October (2020). Snoozee is around 13-14 years old and (surprisingly) is in very good health for her age (she did have five teeth removed in December, including her upper left canine). However, I'm finding there just isn't enough information out here that's specific to the care of senior cats. If you all could put the subject on your list of topics for future videos (i.e., senior nutrition, health, play/activity, etc.), myself and I'm sure a lot of the subscribers to the All About Cats channel will very much appreciate it. Thank you for your videos and continued commitment to providing the public with valuable feline information and education. :-)

    I was wondering how frequently do you have to brush your kitten’s teeth, fur, and clip their nails? So that I know and don’t keep my kitten unhealthy. Daily, weekly?

    • @jfweber
      @jfweber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does your kitten play "fetch"? I've noticed on Kitten Academy, the momcats , as well as various kittens always seem to lock in on Mr "A", as soon as he scrunches up a bit of paper, names 1 of the Momcats quivering w/ excitement. He names 1 of the cats,looks straight at her, holds his arm up,& opens his hand to show the item they're going to "fetch". Then he throws the object,& the named Momcats goes after. the object, If she finds it, & picks it up, he tells her to bring it to him, & throws it again. This game continues til she's tired of it.
      The item used for kittens/ cats to chas can be anything they can easily pick up in mouth, & carry the object to you.The small fuzzy mice are favorites ,tho they usually don't make noise when they land, or hit the wall, etc. However a mall block, or button or anything similar that can be sewn inside the mouse, or tied on ribbon or a shoelace tied round the neck.
      The ,erm, downside of this game comes, when your sweet pet brings "gifts" to family members, or friends who may be a tad squeemish about getting half eaten mice, or mashed, but living worm, garter snakes, etc. as " gifts".
      It needs to be made clear to the intended recipient of the gifts, that cats or kittens won't understand their upset, & eventually the gifs will stop if they don't react. But, if they keep getting excited, & squeal, or scream... kitty will decide is a new game, with their reaction being the new desired result! complete w/ running about squeeling, screaming,arm waving

    • @jfweber
      @jfweber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @jfweber
      @jfweber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The things they expect to see. Because they are following the Momcat's rules, to keep the litter fed & healthy. So , kitten sees you DO NOT hunt... yikes, you might starve! "Not Good" , so they undertake to hunt for you. it's sweet really!
      When you react w/ general hysteria, they gradually change to "game mode." & that's where the conversion of your reaction comes in. 😀😽😻❤️❤️❤️😍😍🤩🤩 . Soooooo we don't react, at all. They'll soon get bored & go do something else.... or eat,sleep, chase birds,bugs, or other critters.
