Answer 1

after the vet try putting the cats together you can NOT have to cats that don"t like each other

Answer 2

First off, RELAX. Everything will be OK.

#1. Yes, p**p on the rear after a trip to the box is normal. It's a baby. As far as not peeing, watch carefully and place them in the box when they start looking for a spot.

#2. Ask your vet to schedule (and remind you) regular examinations/shots.

#3. Spay/Neuter ASAP!! They will be much happier for it and so will you.

#4. Try to let your cats work it out on their own terms and in their own time. It doesn't have to happen right away. It might take time for each to develop a trust in the other. As long as there is no fur flying, you will be ok.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

KITTY MICE AND GET SOME CATNIP

Answer 4

I am an owner of six male cats. Two rescued - two stray&farrel - two adopted.

Yes its okay that they have p**p on their butts, their mother will clean it off but you can too, dont use anything except water and towle because if they l**k their butts and there is a chemical they possibly could get sick so if you have already done that stop, they will be okay.

Keep them in a small room (bathroom is great). Go to the super market and buy kitten food there is special food for them that they must eat. They might have diareeah becuase of their diet change that is normal.

Decide right now if you are willing to take them in as your own or if you plan on giving them away. If you are devoted to them (and they need you to live a nice happy healthy and long life) because they are stray and farrel and young enough you would have to start a hands on relationship with them if you want them to be nice people cats. Pick them up (not too too much) and cradle them in your arms, always be checking up on them and petting them, play with them (dragging a ribbon across the floor is always fun for them) and talk to them. The more human contact the better people cats they will become.

You should ask the vet how old they are. If there is a boy you need to make an appoitment to get him spay. Get them their shots, im sure they will need a handful of them. but besides that ask any questions you are unsure of like how to clip their nails (if you clip them wrong you could possibly kill them believe it or not) how often to feed them.

Good luck.

Answer 5

strays can be feral,or offspring of house cats this makes their

behavior docile or maybe creepy but with love and proper

care you'll have a new cat friend ; congratulation on going to

the experts the vet! just pick up a cpl books from the library

or pet store and you'll be fine,the wipes are fine,did the vet

request a stool sample/you should bring one

definitely keep them separate for about 1 mo the older cat

will or will not be friends-you can't tell yet cats after all,are cats
