We have a new addition to our family, and his/her nickname for now is Poof,
welcomed into the world a little over a week ago.
He/She is a bob tailed mix, too little to identify gender and whatnot...
but loved all the same!
c: Are any of you proud parents of a fur baby/babies?

Also, it's been quite awhile since we've had a newbie fur baby around the house.
He/She is currently with their mama until they're old enough to be weened
but we pick him/her up near the end of next month. Any words of advice to properly raising baby kittens? We have a cat that's about 2 years old, so we decided to get a kitten to minimize territorial issues (although we're aware it still may happen) so we're going to SLOWLY introduce them. We're also buying another litter box and extra supplies because... as a cat-mama? xD I know for a fact cats aren't good at sharing sometimes, lmao.

My family has had many cats over the years, though we tend to have 6 at a time all the time. We tend to have multiple litter boxes all over the place just because of that (and each one has their place in the house they like to be more than others). The last few kittens we bought (the last ones were from a litter from cats we already had and the other was a barn cat) they didn't want to go about being introduced to everyone slowly. They were from out of state so we tried to keep them locked up in the bathroom so everyone could get used to them and so they could get over their jet lag; yeah right... They set about destroying the bathroom before we let them out. I'm guessing because we've had so many cats over the years, the older ones are just used to having them around and don't care about being introduced. Cats are cats and they'll fight anyway, they just tend to be a bit more gentle with kittens.

I would check online though, see what they say to do for sure, or what suggestions they have.

The last furbaby I brought in was my corgi and he was the first animal in the house for years. Last year another dog was brought in and we were trying to get her into the routine that she was not allowed to bully my dog. She was a rescue and started getting defensive when he would go near his stuff that she was using (like the bed we got for him that he never uses and she does). We had to keep a hold on him at times to move slow around her at first and scold her for baring her teeth at him. He was about a year or so, she was 2 or 3.

My most memorable baby though, that would be the pigeons I used to raise. I had to hand feed one chick because the mother flew away before another female stepped in to take care of it. I don't have any of them anymore, they all flew away. I enjoyed it though and want to raise more again.
