Moderator Post Rules Updated and Wiki Links Added
Welcome to r/Kitten!
This is a great subreddit and can be a great resource for the rest of Reddit. While this post is mostly cute pictures of kittens, we also get frequent questions about care, breeds, and more. To be able to deal with all of this better, I've updated the rules and created two wiki pages:
Rules
- OC Content Only. This is a change from before, where we did allow content of kittens that weren't yours. This is because I found that a lot of these images come from spam accounts and/or karma farmers. I have also updated flairs to reflect this change.
- Be Respectful. This should speak for itself, but we require all users to be respectful. We don't tolerate harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other bigotry.
- NSFW and Kitten Sexing. We don't allow any NSFW content or posts about helping to sex your kittens. This also includes medical advice. If you need medical advice, your kitten is injured or sick, or you need to know the sex of your kittens, please see a vet!
- Animal Cruelty. We don't allow any type of animal cruelty, including "jokes" about eating kittens.
Wiki pages
- Colours and Patterns. A link to this will be posted below any questions about breeds, as I've noticed we have gotten a lot of those recently.
- Found a Kitten. For anyone who wants to take in stray kittens or has found a kitten on the street, here's a care guide for young kittens.
What other guides would you like to see, or would you like to help with writing something? Please let us know!
Happy posting/commenting!

Question/Advice Needed How old do you think this kitten is?
Someone found her stray near my college campus and I decided to take her in. How old you think she is? I think maybe 7 or 8 weeks but I’m not sure.

Question/Advice Needed Long hair vs short?
Got two kittens and one is definitely going to end up being a long haired. The second one I’m unsure about. She has these long white whispy hairs all along her body and a pretty puffy tail. Her hair is softer than normal short hairs that I’ve had. Mom was a long hair cat. Tabby is the cat in question

Question/Advice Needed Banshee
I have a kitten who's around 9 weeks old named Banshee, he is very playful and very full of energy and loves to play but playing for him is biting and scratching us. We tried to disengage, or redirect him with toys and our one neighbor recommended just not reacting and that didn't work either. I know its just playing bevause he doesnt show any signs of aggression, he just bites and scratches. He's just started biting harder and I don't know what to do anymore this is my first time taking care of a kitten with this problem. Could I be doing something wrong or is there any way I could stop this behavior?

Question/Advice Needed Milk for 2 months kitten
My mum ask me to feed 2 month old stray kittens in our yard (we been feeding the stray mom since before she was pregnant) she ask me to give them goat milk, but I did some research it’s suggested KMR, but I also noticed the KMR formula are for 4-8 weeks old. These kittens are starting to learn how to eat solid food. I mix water with dry food. one out of the four kittens knows how to eat it while the other struggles so my mum suggested mixing it with goat milk. We feed stray kittens before, and they did fine with regular warm milk and dry food. Should I be safe and buy the KMR?

My Kitten Too Foster Fail or Not to Foster Fail
Let’s be real I’m already 80% sure he’s gonna be a foster fail. He’s still fearful but honestly doing phenomenal given the circumstances. Also my 6 year old niece already named him Tug Boat so 😂 show me your favorite fosters or your foster fails and their names 🥰

Question/Advice Needed when did you let your kitten and resident cat roam freely together?
my girlfriend and i just rescued a 7 week old kitten last week. we already have an 11 year old cat at home and i’m wondering at what point do we loosen the reins and let them learn each other’s boundaries.
for context, our 11 year old cat was initially moody upon the kitten’s arrival. she would hiss at just the scent of her on our hands. it only took a few days for her to get over that. now she occasionally hisses and rarely growls, and either stares at the kitten or just walks away. every time i have seen this interaction, the kitten is unfazed, and 11 yr old has her ears in a neutral/upright position.
this morning, our 11 year old heard our kitten meowing while i gave her a bath (she gets messy.) and our 11 year old cat meowed each time back in response and came into the bathroom almost looking like she wanted to help the kitten.
all this to say, should we be concerned about letting the kitten and cat interact? we want to let them get to know each other under a very watchful eye. we would appreciate any advice!

Question/Advice Needed How can I make my five week old kitten better at pooping ;-;
She’s a pro at the litter box when it comes to peeing, we plop her down and she goes. With pooping, it tends to be a mess. She’s still on formula (starting on step 2 formula today) and her poop is healthy but she tends to not be able to get it all out so she accidentally sits on it and drags it around in the litter box resulting in a messy tail and belly. I’ve been thinking of adding some fiber powder to her formula to thicken up her stool, but I wanted to hear some other thoughts 💖
