Also can i worm the kitten myself ? -- The kitten should be taken to the vet for examination, kitten shots, and worming. Above all, do *not* use over-the-counter wormers. They are ineffective and dangerous. Do not leave the kitten alone with your 3-year-old cat until they have become adjusted. This should be a slow, gradual process. Keep the kitten in a separate room for awhile, and leave a TV or radio tuned to a classical or easy-listening music station. Occasionally, gently rub each cat with a towel to transfer scents. If possible, place the older cat in a bedroom or other room and let the kitten out for awhile. That will enable him to "learn the territory" and also transfer his scent. Bring them together only very slowly and gradually. A plug-in Feliway diffuser may be useful. Good luck with your new kitty. MaryL |

I agree with everything MaryL says. OTC wormers can be dangerous and/
or not even treat the type of worms your kitten may have. Make an appointment with a vet and bring a stool sample along. Rene |
