Hello,

I have two 7 months kittens. We have been finding their baby teeth around so we started trying to brush their teeth. But we noticed that for both of them, their new teeth seem to be rubbing against the opposite gums. it looks so painful. We are trying to get a vet visit but it is just a check up appointment end of this week. Should we go in to another vet earlier or can we wait?

Both an eating dry/wet food well and playing well and pooping/peeing well. But I don’t want to let this escalate to an infection/painful situation where the stop eating.

I googled and it seems that general anesthesia with grinding down the tooth will be required but we are worried of non-recognition aggression between the two of them again :(

We a couple (mid 30s) and we do not work from home. we also live in an apartment on the 13th floor. The apartment has ample space but not a lot of partitions and we have 3 kittens:

- B 5months old brown boy

- T 5months old pointed color girl

- SB 10 months old selkirk rex girl

All neutered/spayed.

B & T used to be inseparable but after B’s neutering T has been super aggressive to B. i understand non-recognition aggression but T aggressiveness seems not to be fear based but more territorial.

B & T love SB (she might not like them as much). The combination of T and SB is fine as SB is able to take charge and T is okay with it. Also SB likes playing with toys more than other cats. While Tifa just wants to play.

SB and B are not so great as B keeps biting her neck and doesn’t let go when she meows. There are some flying fur from SB too. B locks in on SB like she is a prey and doesn’t stop.

So the current situation is that all 3 are separated and T is now confined to the play pen when we go to work as the living room is not a good place for him to roam unsupervised. We get a cat sitter to come in the afternoon to play with all 3 of them.

We have been doing introduction and they eat behind closed doors but when we do the barrier eating T just goes up to B and hisses and tries to whacks him through the barrier. Also i am using feliway alrdy.

I am just trying to understand what i can do for both the B rough play and T’s aggression to B. For T aggression to B should I send them to groom tgt?

Any advice will be helpful here too.

Hi all,

We a couple (mid 30s) and we do not work from home. we also live in an apartment on the 13th floor. The apartment has ample space but not a lot of partitions and we have 3 kittens:

- B (4.5 months old brown boy) who was neutered 2 weeks ago

- T (4.5 months old pointed color girl) planning to be spay this month

- SB (9 months old selkirk rex girl - spayed)

B & T used to be inseparable but after B’s neutering T has been super aggressive to B. i understand non-recognition aggression but T aggressiveness seems not to be fear based but more territorial.

B & T love SB (she might not like them as much) but when they play with her, she gets abit overwhelmed and i presumed stressed and starts open mouth panting all the time.

So the current situation is that all 3 are separated and B is now confined to the play pen when we go to work as the living room is not a good place for him to roam unsupervised. We get a cat sitter to come in the afternoon to play with all 3 of them.

We have been doing introduction and they eat behind closed doors but when we do the barrier eating T just goes up to B and hisses and tries to whacks him through the barrier. Also i am using feliway alrdy.

I am just trying to understand if spaying T will help in the aggression to B as they used to be so close last time and it is breaking my heart that they aren’t anymore :(

Any advice will be helpful here too.
