My
kitten
is 11
weeks
now
and I
just
got
her,
she
has
been
sneezing
for a
few
days
now
and
has a
lot of
mucus
build
up in
her
eye,
what
can I
do at
home
to
help
this
cold?

You
did
not
specify
where
you
bought
your
kitten,
but if
she
was
living
in
cold
or
draughty
conditions
or in
contact
with
many
other
cats
this
may be
a case
of
flu.
Kittens
are
normally
vaccinated
against
this
with a
course
of
injections
at
about
10 and
then
12
weeks
old.
This
is
followed
by a
yearly
booster
vaccination.
If
your
kitten
has
the
flu
(Feline
Influenza
virus),
this
is a
very
serious
condition.
Whilst
this
could
be a
harmless
allergic
reaction
or
just a
normal
cold,
we
feel
it is
only
responsible
that
this
kitten
should
see a
vet as
soon
as
possible
to
guard
against
further
complications.
Indeed,
whether
or not
this
is a
case
of the
flu,
we
would
still
advise
prompt
veterinary
treatment.

Good
Litter Box Manners
Cats are extraordinarily fastidious creatures. Outdoors they tend to
urinate and defecate in relatively open and previously unused areas. More...
