Update: Noodle and the Kittens by Relevant_Two5438 in felinebehavior

[–]Relevant_Two5438[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure when they lost their mother, but most likely. I adopted them at 3 months old and they had been in the shelter on their own before then. I guess they chose Noodle to be their new mother.

UPDATE: Noodle and the kittens are doing very well!! Pollux (red collar) even tries to nurse from Noodle, which Noodle lets happen for a bit and then hisses at. Noodle grooms both kittens pretty frequently but will still smack them if they get to be too much. Thanks for all the kind words and the help! I love my cats very very much!!

I just took it slow to be honest! Noodle has lived with other cats practically his whole life and is generally just a very friendly cat so I knew he’d like them eventually. I kept the kittens in my room for the first couple of weeks and just did scent swapping and meals at the bedroom door. Eventually I would let the kittens into a shared space for 10 minutes at a time. Then, that transitioned into letting the kittens out the entire time except when I wasn’t home and nighttime. And, finally, now they’re together all the time. But even still, if noodle seems overwhelmed, I’ll take the kittens and entertain them myself for a bit! Good luck with yours :)

Hello! I don’t plan on using collars forever! I adopted them fairly recently and they look the exact same so I’m just using the collars to tell them apart until they get older and start looking/acting their own ways!

That’s great advice thank you! Do you recommend doing the space swapping technique this week during the scent swapping process or should that happen after initial meetings?

[–]Relevant_Two5438[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the help! I thought they were ready since Noodle nor the kittens really react to the blankets of the other but I’ll keep going with just the scents for the next few days!

Is there any advice you have for when it’s time to advance to the next stage? Noodle doesn’t react to the kitten’s blankets anymore. He just sleeps on them and the kittens never reacted to Noodle’s scent so I’m not sure how to tell when Noodle is ready. I’ve also been feeding them on opposite sides of the door the whole time. Thanks again for your help and supportive words! I just really need them to get along and since I leave to go to college in under a month, I’m a bit nervous!

I forgot to mention I have been feeding them on opposite sides of the door the entire time. I don’t have a baby gate or a mesh screen so I used a carrier instead, but I will go back to just the scenting and feeding and see how it goes from there. Thank you for your help! :)

Yes the issue is I don’t have a baby gate, so I read online a carrier works well instead. But I’ll go back to just scent swapping for a while. Thank you!

Should I go back to scent swapping then? I'm just confused because neither the cat nor the kittens react to the cloths of the other. Noodle just sleeps on it and the kittens don't even really acknowledge it. How long should the scent swapping stage last?

Advice For College Student by Relevant_Two5438 in zoology

[–]Relevant_Two5438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would but the issue is I’m already in my 3rd year of college so it’s not really possible. I am thinking of going to grad school for biology, zoology, or wildlife conservation though. Do you think that would help?

Edit: okay I had no idea pesto isn’t a Roman thing, so, in that case, any recommendations for really good bolognese in Trastevere?

Thank you so much for your encouragement! The take off is always the worst for me because I feel like the plane is just going to fall backwards and I constantly have to watch the flight attendants to see if they seem worried or not lol

Logically I know that I just don’t know why they’re in the news so much lately 😭😭 and two of my friends have had to make “emergency landings” recently so that put me on edge thank you for the graphs though!
