just curious, how much do most of you spend on your cat monthly? assuming you only have 1 cat to take care/feed/etc..

how much is considered high, average & lowest

interesting, thanks!

hey, im in the same situation been feeding a pregnant stray and 2+ weeks ago she gave birth (a litter of 6!) in an inconvenient place. decided to move them to a safer place in my porch. didn't wanna bring her into the house as she is a little feral.

same problem here, but only in one eye.

almost 3 weeks later, here i am still a little clueless. mother cat seems uncomfortable in the big basket i've provided. she's now moving them around the porch, to very inconvenient places. i change the basket's bedding almost everyday now, but, she still insist of putting them in the open. even more problematic as the kittens have begun to shit. now its all over the porch :S

so here are what im thinking of doing now:
- put them all in the bathroom with food, water & cat litter
- get a cage big enough for mother & 6 kittens. put it indoors/outdoors

looking for suggestion's and advice, this is my first time and im clueless lol. also, need some advice on food and what else should be done/prepared for the kittens. thanks!

whoa, just came here to ask about good food, and there's already a long discussion on it. will read through slowly.

but to summarize my situation:
took in 5 kittens when their stray mother died. they're 6+ weeks old now. looking for healthy food for them, budget's pretty tight, and i need something decently priced. currently feeding them wet food avoderm & natural balance (trying around as both are the same price) and thinking of switching to some dry diet.

from the discussion i concluded that and of these brands - iams, blackwood, ANF, sportsmans pride, nutriedge, science diet - are fine, with blackwood being top choice.

1/5
