Hello all! A year ago my wife and I rescued a stray we named Spice. Spice is great! Taught us a lot and we love her dearly.

Yesterday we adopted a kitten named Steve. We knew to expect some changes with spice, but I didn’t know to expect her to hiss just walking through the house. 💔

We’re giving her lots of love and play (on her terms) and she’s getting more snacks than she ever did. I gotta make sure she knows she’s not getting replaced!

Steve is living it up right now. Nice little area blocked off for him! He is a purr MACHINE whenever you hold him, and seemingly couldn’t be happier!

Since Spice was my first cat, and Steve is my first kitten, I’m looking for advice that doesn’t have 53 ads covering the page before I get to anything useful! Thank you!!!

5 kittens resting and sleeping in my garden

Hello all,

This is the newest member of my household, my silly boy Pippin (Peregrin Took) and he is 11 weeks old.

I adopted him last weekend from a facebook post, I'm not sure of the exact details, but his mother had passed away and he needed a home. He is doing excellent, he's now flea free, playful, very cuddly, and has a very healthy appetite.

However, any time I pet or love on him he aggresively tries to nurse on my hand or fingers by grabbing them with his paws or biting with his mouth. From my own research, this can be bad for his health long term and can cause issues for my other cat (2 year old girl).

I would appreciate any advice on how to discourage this behavior (if I even really need to) beyond what I have done so far. Which is just taking my hand away.

Thank you!
