What is the easiest way to catch a kitten?

There is this kitten that lives somewhere in my backyard. My dad leaves food out on the porch for the kitten to eat but now that it’s winter, the food freezes before the kitten can eat it. We want to try and catch it so we can take it to the vet and then give it a home so it doesn’t die in the snow.

I have had cats my whole life but they were older when I adopted them. My new kitten is just 6 weeks old. She uses the litter box very well, but never cleans herself after. This is a problem after she poops. I wipe her if I realise she has used the litter box. At what age do kittens learn this?

My kitten who is 6 months old, doesn’t seem to like my boyfriend. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him or me? My kitten has been with me since is was just a few weeks old.
my boyfriend loves the cat, but everytime he comes around Tommy Boy runs and hides or trys to bite or scratch him. How do I get him to understand that my boyfriend doesn’t want to hurt him. I don’t think Tommy Boy likes men in general.

why do people think its ok to declaw a animal?

Its cruel and unfair to a cat, they have instincts to scratch, don’t they?

I would never do it but I would never let the claws get to long!
I wish that there was something that we could do to ensure that people don’t declaw their own cats. I would do anything to make sure that this would never happen to any cat!

I love cats… My current kitten (I’d say he’s about, oh, 3 months old) is so cute, I would never dare try to harm him.
to the fool who says its okay to declaw a kitten just because he got scratched — Is that fair? Your all the same, its not fair, just as it is not fair to let gays have same sex marriage. They love just like us but the same sex. Is that fair? No! My father is gay and he was beaten up and hurt just because of that. Its not fair!
Sure, it’s okay to declaw cats — so says most here— but what if your cat ran outside and ran into a raccoon? Those things are vicious and are territory protective. Cut the cats nails if you must… Just think about what would happen if that cat ran outside!

How to care for an orphaned new born kitten?

His or her eyes aren’t open, and the kitten still has its umbilical cord.

Where can I buy a decent sized scratching post? UK?

My kitten has outgrown her scratching post, and has started scratching the floor rather than the post.

I’m trying to find a new one for her, but they all seem a similar height (about 40cm).

Where can I buy one within the UK?
Pets at home only have a similar sized one, and a clawing mat which I don’t want- I think it’d confuse her too much (she ain’t that bright…).
I’ve looked at argos, and they’re all really short too.

Pet Smart is the same as Pets at Home- just different names.

I have a sweet little leuk pos kitten, 3 months old. Fiancee is quite jealous of how much she loves me. I’ve been trimming her claws, but she is ignoring the vertical scratching post I bought her and is instead clawing at the couch. Now, im in school still, so the couch is not exactly new. But, I’d like to teach her positive habits in case she fights off the leukemia. Declawing is NOT an option; not only is it mean, but she might not recover if she turns out to actually have leukemia.

I’ve tried putting her feet up on the scratching post, but she doesn’t seem to understand whats going on. The thing is supposedly scented with catnip.
Great responses from all of you.

I’m going to try this kitty-see-kitty-do business first.

How to choose the right kitten from a shelter?

I really like the personality of Russian Blues, but since I can’t get one from a shelter, I’ll have to adopt a mixed kitten.

So, my question is: Since most of the kittens in shelters are muts, how am I to determine its personality (obviously not by breed)?

What will it be like as an adult cat?

I need an affectonate, calm, loyal cat, a cat that can be my best pal.

my kitten is 13 weeks old, and he has started to pull at the carpet, and at the furniture. He has a scratching post, so how do I make him use his scratching post and eliminate him scratching at the carpet and furniture?
