Two issues:

I got two kittens, a 12 week old brother and sister, 2 weeks ago.  We
let them loose in the house while we're home, and confine them in the
bathroom with their catbox during the day.  This is because we have a
9 year old lame pug who still intimidates them a bit (they jump if he

I would not say I am worried, but just wondering how long this might
go on and how I might coax new cat Destiny out of hiding:

Tonight I went down to a place to pick up a kitten from an ad in the paper.
I was expecting to see a litter of kittens maybe 2 since the lady on the
phone said she had litters from 7 weeks to 12.  When I got there I was
shocked, the lady had a bunch of kittens and cats there that ...

What are you thoughts on homeopathic remedies for cats?  I know almost
nothing about them but someone I met recently says that she's used them on
her cats for years.  One thing she mentioned is Rescue Remedy.
Thanks.

I know most here will condemn me for suggesting it but I just can't
keep throwing money away on our cat Andy.
