If, for example, you mated two mitten ragdolls, would the kittens all be mitted? And also, would it be possible to have a litter all the same type(eg. blue mitted)?

Mitted + mitted will make 50% mitted, 25% high mitted and 25% colorpoint
But if there is 4 kittens, it doesn't mean that 2 will be mitted, 1 high mitted and 1 colorpoint, so yes all kittens from a litter might be all the same.
For example two colorpoint can only have colorpoint babies

my cat had tre kittens, now they have 16 days and start slowly to walk sometime. When I have to put near a little litterbox? And when is better to start with some food? It's my first time

When they are about 3-4 weeks you can start to give them some grinded meat, boiled cod and wet food. You might need to put some in their mouth so they understand, then they will go mad for it :D It is superfin to see. And as they start eating solid food they will need to go to a litter box.

Hur är det med matskålar/drickskålar ska man ha någon speciel?

Rostfritt, glas eller porslin, ej plast. Jag rekommenderar glastallrikar utan kanter. Katterna tenderar att äta bättre när inte morrhåren slår i kanten hela tiden :)

Om en vecka kommer jag få en liten norskskogskatt vid namn Lákri och hon behöver katt sand vad är bra att använda för kattsand?

Där kan jag tyvärr inte svara dig :) Jag testar själv olika just nu. Det beror mycket på vad din katt kommer gilla att gå på, vilken låda ni har osv. Men var inte rädd för att testa er fram, tillslut hittar ni den som är rätt för er :)
Lycka till med nya familjemedlemmen! <3

My cat is a short haired tabby- but she malts lots and is very fluffy. She is always cleans her self, but do I still need to groom her? If I do how many times a week? Plus how can my cat make friends with other cats? She dosent really get along :(

You could make it a habit to grrom your cat once a week and maybe once a day or every other day when she sheds the most.
Maybe your cat doesn't want to make cat friends, that is very common. It is usuallu us humans who wants the second or third cat without knowing how our cats feel about it.
You can try to make any contact with other cats to a positive experience by giving treats to reward contacts etc.

Hi, I want to get another cat...but we can't decide between birman, ragdoll or siamese. They all look very similar, I have a ragdoll but I don't know what birmans and siamese are like personality-wise....

I think you should call some breeders of those breeds and ask them :) As a breeder, we want to help people learn about our choosen breed. Also look up some info on the internet, you will have a lot to read there :)
Best of luck <3

which settings do you usually use for cat photography? like iso, timing, flash and more...

It is very different depending on the light. I try to keep the shutterspeed to 250 or more if they are playing, still having the lowest f stop (2,8) so the ISO varies from 400-2500 sometimes (I have set ISO to be auto)
No flash :)

I would have given a more detailed answer but I prefer to stay anonymous and here is the only place that I can really, lol :) hope it helped, you know Berry a lot better than I do to know whether it would work ;)x

Im very thankful for your input :) It is always nice to just bounce around some thoughts :)

About Berry- I have been following you for a long time, and I know u think Berry will still stay a kitten longer. I'd mate her incase she gets infection, maybe do the tests after so you can pre-warn buyers if there's anything wrong. Perhaps if she is not a good mom Thea could look after kittens? xxx

Yes I will take the risk and put her on pills after this heat, I don't want to mate her yet, she isn't ready in her mind yet <3

My friends approx 5 week old rescue kitten, hand fed every 4 hours, on antiobiotics for poorly eyes,poops and then sits in It (loose stools re meds). She doesn't mind cleaning mess, but wonders why and what to do?

The kitten is so young so it needs to "learn from it's misstakes" The kitten will eventually learn :)

I have a problem with my male raggie. He always bites me with all his might. I thought it is just his way of playing but then it really looks like he wants to eat me. I'm confused. Is he holding grudge at me?Or is it a normal behavior of a male kitten(8months)

This is very normal, he is getting a bit hormonal which makes him a little bit on edge. A cat don't always want to be pet even if it looks like they are inviting you to, so you need to learn his ways :) Buy a long wand with a rope and a feather thingy at the end (it all looks like a fishing rod) and sit down in your sofa or bed and just swing it around like crazy :D He needs to play until he is exhausted and this toy is fantastic for that, as you don't need to do much :)

My cat is currently at the vet getting sterilized. Is there any advice for when she gets home? :(

Just have an eye on her until she wakes up and leave her to rest for the rest of the day. Do have a telephonenumber to your vet nearby to call if there is something you are unsure of.
It is a simple procedure and as long as you feel you can trust your vet of choice, there is nothing to be worried about :)
I wish you best of luck <3

How to shower my female cat,because my female cat does not like water and she would probably run away if she sees me putting her in the bath tub half full with water?

If your cat is healthy she doesn't need a shower or bath, so spare her that pain :)

i want to neuter my male cat. Which one is better between vasectomy and castration? If possible i don't want him to lose his ball but i also don't want him to spray everywhere.

You should neuter him, other options will still make him as a fertile cat with spraying and get out of condition, but just cannot make babies. If you neuter him, he will forever be thankful to you :)

hi, i read that you don't reccomend to use furminator on a ragdoll because of getting darker fur...is that real? I have a Birman boy, and I use a furminator, is he becoming darker because of that? (he's a seal point) I thought it was beacuse of the seal color. What can I do to lighten the fur again?

Yes this is true, and it is not possible to make the coat lighter again I'm afraid :/

Do male go on heat? Well not heat but a male version if you get what I mean....

No they are always ready ;)

Is it bad that Zinna is on heat so long? And also if it lasts too long will you have to mate her?

Well it isn't bad but it isn't "good", I just think she has the longest of all females I have had :)
No I will not mate her now, I haven't done the tests yet.

Why does a cat like affection and then get mad and attack ??

It can mean a few different things. Maybe the cat is in pain and wouldn't want to be touched at that area. It could be something from the past that happened in a similar situation that he remembers, or the most usual - he has a lot of energi that just builds up inside and he need to play more :)

If you go over seas and when you come back will you're cat remember you still or forget ??

They will remember :) I would smell different at first so I would have to change clothes so they recognise my smell again :)
