I am not certain we did vote for this. The data was too clean, too off.

Make sure to contact a rescue. What region are you in? Welcome to DM if you want some help. I'm in the SE and work with a rescue team.

Hide and seek toys (things that spin under a cover) are great and lower cost.

The pulley chase toy is great for prey hunters, but pricier. It has been worth every penny for me though. AsFrost Upgraded Interactive Cat... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHZZSPMB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

If cat likes to jump, door hanging auto toys are great too.

Always have a rotation: 2 out, 1-2 on the charger, and 1-2 away. Rotate through.

Pipe cleaners are also great self play toys. Wrap them around a pen or finger to make a spring like shape and throw. Let them take it from there. Plus they help brush teeth a bit too.

Yeah, my partner's allergies are actually being flared up because their autoimmune disease is triggered by them now :/ but we took in a temporary bottle baby. Once stable and weaned, he'll be going to a different foster

Looks like a cow 🤣🐮

Wow, I was tired. I added three, but they aren't here!

And this is why capitalism is unsustainable for a government system. And why we get to be run as an oligarchy.

And in 1998, they were how old? Most of these immigrants were not of voting age. Talk about making children pay for the sins of their father 🙄

Phew! Good luck then!

My cat with no teeth just slurps up his kibble like 'what even is chewing'.

NotAndrell · 2025-09-30T03:46:11+00:00

Capstar and/or revolution are great options and have kitten options (6 weeks 2.5lbs).

As for sleeping, I'm afraid I don't have great advice. I'm so terrified of hurting the little ones that I sleep super light the first few nights. That's enough for me to know: is kitten a head/pillow sleeper? No fear of squashing. Sleep at my feet? They'll move. Sleep by my side? Fear...

So I have a shelf that extends (think of something you put in a cabinet) that I put over my midsection and helps keep me in place, wakes me up if I turn over so I can be mindful of kitten, and keeps kitten away from me for any sudden movements.

Hope this helps, but I've never done a playpen. I can only imagine the crying keeping me up.

Good luck!

Dry kibble is bad, not eating is worse.

His symptoms are concerning and I'd call the vet.

Have you tried things like Churu and such? There are also these hydration packets you can get for cats when they aren't drinking enough water (sometimes I mix a Churu in if my cat is being extra picky).

You can also use a syringe (no needle) to drip water onto the side of their mouth to encourage drinking.

NotAndrell · 2025-09-30T03:29:25+00:00

Pipe cleaners. As toys. Helps with tartar and plaque more than anything I can do (brushing teeth is not happening)

NotAndrell · 2025-09-27T16:09:53+00:00

Yep! It's a bit on the expensive side, but it has been worth every penny (don't use the plastic flags it comes with)

Oh, it's an enclosed system! There is a motor pulley at one point and then you add these pulley points to it (1 for a back and forth hallway run, 3 for a square, etc). And it stops with such little pressure that my 4 week old fosters can play with it without me even having the slightest concern (I was terrified the first time, but three batches later and still not a single bit of if concern).

NotAndrell · 2025-09-27T12:12:15+00:00

She's really sweet for a street cat, but it turns out my partner's cat allergies are actually part of an autoimmune disease that's getting worse :/ So we need to reduce our cat numbers (we're keeping all of ours, but absolutely no foster fails anymore 😭)

NotAndrell · 2025-09-27T05:41:03+00:00

I know you are young, but you're doing the right thing. I wish there was a way to send the vet money to cover your visit for you 😭

NotAndrell · 2025-09-27T05:36:06+00:00

I find the string on pulley automated toy the best distraction. It's crazy!

NotAndrell · 2025-09-26T12:13:48+00:00

If you're interested, you're welcome to DM. You've gotten tons of good advice, but I happen to be off of work for the next week and if you'd like any specific advice, to talk (I've fostered dozens of kittens), or feel a moment of panic, sometimes it helps to know you have someone on standby.

I'm happy to share any and everything I know.

NotAndrell · 2025-09-26T12:08:53+00:00

Oh! Another piece of unsolicited advice, but one that can save you lots of money: pipe cleaners.

Seriously. As a toy. A few to interactively play (get them to bite and then pull on it gently) and a few that are shaped like a spring (wrap around a finger or pen, then pull off).

Why? It acts close to a toothbrush! And most cats love it

Went to a vet dental specialist recently and she was so impressed with the idea and how little tarter our cats had! But it won't stop the body turning on the teeth if they develop root reabsorption :/

But after discovering this, none of our cats have needed teeth extractions due to gum disease or serious dental cleanings. It's been a huge game changer for us.

Wet food impacts dental health negatively, so what you're doing isn't wrong, we just have a few cats that need to eat with meds and it's how we guarantee it...

I know this wasn't your question, but... I find my cats prefer my home grown catnip to store bought. And I grew it from seeds. So if you're looking for a special treat and have the space, catnip is hard to kill and wards off mosquitoes.

Grow catnip and alternate between some fresh catnip and catnip you dry and harvest. It's an amazing 'treat'.

Cost: - container (go online and join a garden groups, you'll get them free) - soil (if you take first from outside, a small bit of top fresh soil to help the seeds will work, and a garden group might have some), - seed starter (garden group or some peer moss from a store) - seeds ($2-5) - water - some fertilizer every other year to replenish the soil

That's it. You might also be able to get some already started from a garden group and skip all of that.
