I need some help with my new kitten...?

Question

my kitten gets very scarred of everything and gets VERY skitzy at night with quick movements and all. I was just wondering if this is normal or not. ALso kitty litter keeps clumping between her toes, was the easiest way to remove it for her?

Answer 1

she may not be comfortable with her surroundings yet, therefor she's skittish. try to comfort her and wait. if that doesnt work, maybe she had a bad experience (like being attacked or chased by a dog or being abused) and is now paranoid. as for the kitty litter, try to pick her up (gently calming her at the same time) and get her to stretch her  toes. then the litter should fall out. if it doesnt, try to pull it out. its probably hurting her. then switch litters to a different litter. something bigger or smaller, whichever wont get stuck. if you're still worried, ask a pet store worker what litter would be best.

good luck!

Answer 3

The cat is not scared but hunting and playing. Cats sleep a lot during the day, play and hunt at night.    This is very normal. And they will not come when called or let you catch them easily while they are having fun.

Some breeds are more active than others and even if your kitten is not a registered breed, If it has a lot of one breed over another genetically it may have some of the same behaviors.  

Normally the litter only clumps on the paws if the paw is damp so deeper kitty litter, changing it more frequently help as does making sure the tips of the nails are cut so the cat is not picking up bits of  liter box waste on her paws because her claws are too sharp. I happen to like Fresh Step best as a litter but that is a personal preference.

A good resource  for references  to whatever you want to know about cats  is the Cat Fanciers of America website. They have lots of referal sites and good information on their site.

Its totally normal. When i first got my kitten, he was scared of everything! every sudden movement and he would hide alot, but now he is not even scared anymore and he doesnt hide.

Answer 5

Yes, that is very normal.

Kittens don't like loud noises.

They are trying to get used to it.

So maybe you can comfort her when she is around

so she knows your safe territory.

Answer 6

Its normal. If she starts getting scared pick her up and pet her to help reasure her that nothing is out to get her.

For the litter between her toes you can use a damp paper towel or washcloth to get it out. Just be sure to get the litter wet enough that it just comes out easy and doesn't pull her fur alot. After you get it out. Dry her litttle toes off and she'll be good to go.  

Answer 7

Just go slowly and be paitent. She will come around. with love and attention. Try washing paws under faucet or if it scares her try a soft cloth to remove. Maybe also should change litter brands.  

Answer 8

It's normal for a kitten. She's curious, and wants to find things, and when she does, she thinks it's fun, but she gets nervous. Try playing with her before bed.

Answer 9

how old is the kitten? mine was really scarred of loud noises, still is lol. although cats arent nocturnal animals they can still be more active at night, for example hunting, so its probly just the kittens natural instincts to check out the area and go all hyper running around and burning off energy. it is something it will grow out of. as to the litter i use bog standard tescos litter and mine was fine with that but for your problem id say give it a small bath, only a few inches of luke warm water, not boiling hot or freezing cold and just let it splash around, this way your kitten will also get used to the idea of water and baths.

Answer 10

well i don't now how old they r so...iam not shur if it is normal or not.
