Fading Kitten Syndrome (FKS) is similar to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in humans and may be blamed when kittens under 12 weeks of age fail to thrive and grow. Like SIDS, FKS is a fatal “mystery illness” in which the exact cause of death is often not known.

Raising a Kitten in the Early Stages
Any pet lover can’t turn away a kitten that needs help. Like any self-respecting human, I took the kitten to the vet for a check up. The visit went well (with some medications for cold was prescribed). The young feline recovered in no time. However after a while, there were some reddish circles forming on my skin. Without a doubt it was ringworm from the cat. The return to the vet, without question, was full of rage for not seeing the signs and symptoms. To avoid similar cases, here is some important information.
We never let them be alone together for at least four weeks. During that time the kitten started to show some interest in playing with the dogs, and it was clear the dogs were tolerant of this so after four weeks we felt it safe to let them be more exposed to each other without our direct involvement, though we watched closely.

Bonding With Your Kitten
Understanding kittens’ behavior is very important for every cat owner because the behavioral tendencies of kittens will change rapidly during their first few months, just as their needs do. It is important to help your kitten to adapt to being around human beings such that they grow up into adult cats that are comfortable living with people. In order to do this, one has to tackle separation anxiety that your cat may experience, and thereafter teach them to be around people by spending some quality time with them.

Understanding Kittens’ Behavior – How to Grow Your Kitty Into a Happy and Healthy Cat
Bringing a new kitten home that already has another cat can be a tricky thing. There are many ways to slowly ween your old feline to be more comfortable with your new one and I will tell you how. There are lots of things that can happen when a pet owner first introduces another kitty into the family with another cat. When a pet owner introduces another kitten to a household that previously had one adult feline, it could be hard for the first feline to adapt to it. Some cats will never do well with a second one, and it could become more difficult for them to adapt to the older they get.

How to Bring a New Feline Into the Home of Another Cat
An eight week old stray kitten showed up at my door one day sick and hungry. I pledged it my love and my home and rushed it to the vet. After at least two trips to the vets office and medication for a cold, my kitten seemed to be on track to a full recovery. Until, that is, I noticed I had started to notice a ring shaped rash on my skin. I went back to the vet to convince them that this kitten did indeed have ringworm that needed to be treated. My kitten was carrying ringworm that went un-diagnosed by him during our first few visits. He gave me a couple of reasons for this and this is why I share this story with you.

Ringworm in Your Cat
If you take a kitten or cat into your life, you take on a responsibility for caring for that new pet. You ensure her good health by regularly taking your cat to a veterinarian, by feeding her well, and by grooming her. You keep both of you entertained through play, and give her your love and receive her love in return. The bond between people and cats is truly remarkable, and is a pact that lasts for years. But with it comes the responsibility for making the right decisions for the good of your cat, and for all cats. Your kitten will hardly be settled into your house before you must make one of the most important decisions for a cat owner: Do you allow your cat to breed?
