Okay so im getting this kitten and its a boy but i dont know what im gonna need for him as far as supplies so can anyone give me a list of things i will need for him and 2 more things 1st one does anyone know the best brand food for kittens? 2nd thing does anyone know any good names for a baby boy kitten?

Thanx in advance:)

I love cats. I got a new kitten a few months ago and I'm now a kitten-care pro. So here's what you do:

For supplies, you are going to need kitty litter, a plastic box for a litter box (a baby wading tub or something like that), De-Odorizer so it doesn't stink the place up, and maybe a small cat toy to keep him amused. A great brand of cat food is Nutro Natural Choice for Kittens. It's got all the nourishment and vitamins for him to grow properly. Stay away from stuff like Meow Mix....that's just junk food.

Once you've gotten the kitty, keep him in an enclosed room where he can freely roam and explore, like the laundry room or the bathroom. Remove all large and objects that he could knock over, small pieces (beads, screws and the like) that he could choke on, or anything that you don't want broken. NO FISHBOWLS.

Prepare him a place to sleep with a small basket and a folded up towel. Go in the room every so often and play with him to keep him company.

Once he's been enclosed for about a week, let him out a little more so that he can explore the hallway. Bring him out every day for about a week. If you have other cats in the house, put the kitten under a laundry basket so the other cats can smell him.

Eventually, you can just let him run around the house. If he starts getting on the dinner table at dinner, you'll have to discipline him. Have a little squirt bottle with you....when he's on the dinner table, just squirt him and he'll fly away. Keep doing this until he starts avoiding the dinner table out of habit.

Here's a great site with loads of cat names:

Have fun with the kitten!!!!!

i think it is.alot.but thats my opinion.cuz my friend just took a break with her bf and i told her it was just the same thing as breaking up.i dont give a shit if ur getting bak together.thats just another excuse to break up with somein at the time.whats the effin difference?

A breakup is where you end the relationship completely because it just won't work out. Both are completely detatched.

"Taking a break" is where you just don't feel like being in a relationship at the moment and, well, you just need a break from him/her. You aren't detatched completely, you're just not physically seeing each other, even though you're still dating. Usually, there is a set time....for example, you might say to your boyfriend, "let's take a break for a week."

I was used by a boy for sex and whatnot
and then he became a total jerk and is mean
I still like him and I want us to be friends again like we used to,how should I talk to him?
I was gonna wait until he talked to me but i need to take part in this too and he isnt the type that if i started talking and spilling my heart out , that he would go along with it
Has anyone ever been in this position?
What did you do?
by the way , im 14/nc

I am pretty sure that you are the same person that asked a question I answered earlier on my column (correct me if I'm wrong), are you not?

Now that I know the circumstances...he used you for sex?

Get away from this kid IMMEDIATELY.

what are the ingredients for making hamburgers?
Im 13/f want to cook my first meal for my dad

I make hamburgers all the time. It's pretty easy.

Just go to the store and buy some hamburger meat in the meat aisle.

Take out some hamburger and form a ball with your hands---a tennis ball-sized makes a small hamburger, a baseball-sized ball will make a fairly large one. I don't know how much hamburger your dad eats, but you can go from there. Flatten it out as much as you want, but just don't make it too thick, because it will expand a little bit while cooking.

Heat up a pan on the stove. You'll know if it's hot enough by flicking a drop of water on the pan...if it's hot enough, the water will start sizzling. Then, pour enough cooking oil on the pan so that it coats the bottom, but you don't want too much oil. Put the flattened hamburger on the pan and let it cook about 6-7 minutes on each side.

Toast a hamburger bun, and once the burger is done, put it on the bun along with your dad's favorite toppings (onions, lettuce, tomatoes etc.)

Have fun!!!

okay well my friend is 12 andshe just start4ed going out with this kid whos 16 he turns 17 in junee... is there something wrong with that?? or is that allright?

There is something VERY wrong with a 12-year-old dating a 16-year-old. First of all, a person who is only 12 is not ready for a full, advanced relationship with an experienced person.I have to agree with the first poster...if the boy really cared about her, he'd want what was best for her. Any 16-year-old with any common sense should know that....I question this guy's intentions. I reckon he wants to use her for something.

It may seem innocent now, but this could (and very likely will) turn out to be a very dangerous relationship. Get your friend out of it now before it's too late.

I could get into detail, but I wont.
Im in love with this boy
and he used to be nice to me.
He has lost total respect for me , becuase I let him take advantage of me [dumb idea, i know]
He's rude to me and mean and etc.
I still like him no matter how mean he is!
No, im probably not going to be able to get over him anytime soon.
Does anyone know how I should try and get his respect back and be friends again?

Any boy who is rude, mean and takes advantage of you is unworthy of your attention.

And I highly doubt you're in love with him, asssuming that you're between the ages of 13 and 17. Most young love is just infatuation. I don't know anything about you...you could be an exception, but you can't base life on exceptions. Would you still "love" him if he put 300 pounds? Would you give up everything you've worked for just for him? Would you die for him?

But either way, I can tell that this post is not going to be of any use to you if I keep going on like this. You're a teenager, and crushes are uncontrollable, even if the boy is mean to you. The saying "love is blind" is very true. I'm sure that telling you just to forget about him because he's a jerk is pretty much futile, because it's not going to happen. I've been in your situation before, and I know what it feels like to be trying to win back a boy who treats you bad.

Don't meet eyes with him, like the person below me said. Just avoid him altogether for a good bit of time. If he starts acting like an SOB, flip him off like he's just a speck of dirt on your sweater. Do whatever it takes to prove to him that you don't give a sh*t what he says, you've moved on and that you've got a great life without him in it. If he really likes you as a friend, he'll start to miss you and want you back.

Hope all goes well.

I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you.

First of all, most of the advice-seekers here are teenagers, and teenagers ask for help from other teenagers. End of story.

You mentioned how we are not at a place to give someone their personal opinion when we have so little life experience. I'll have you know that giving your personal opinion does not hurt anybody. If the advice-giver gives really stupid advice and the asker is stupid enough to believe that it's the right answer, then that's the asker's problem (of course, if the answer is encouraging the asker to hurt herself or break the law or something like that, that's a completely different matter).

Who said anybody has to be at "a place to give someone their personal opinion"? That's exactly what a personal opinion is---a personal opinion. You don't have to be an expert to give someone your personal opinion. And the advice-seeker can choose whether to ignore it or take it seriously.

And lastly, what makes you think that you know the right answer to everything? There are many ways of giving advice...there is no right or wrong answer to most of these questions on the site. Since when is there a right answer to a question about conceiving a child?

If you don't like the site, fine, go away and leave us alone. If the only joy you have in life is going to websites and putting down the occupants, then seriously, get a life

i dont know what to do iam a 15 year old girl and i have never met my mom she walked out on my and my dad and i have a little borhter that i havnt seen since the 5th grade he is younger than me and i miss them terriably .. they live in a town outside were i live, the guy that likes me found them for me and foudn there adress and telephone number .. what should i do .. if i phone them or write them a leter.. what should i write.. this is so unbelivebly personal so .. think about it hard befor you answer please.. thank you

I am so sorry. This must be an awful time for you.

I would recommend just going to the address and showing up at the door. Your mother should be happy to receive you- whatever reason she left, I'm sure it wasn't your fault...you were only a mere 5th grader, right?

There's no need for a phone call or a letter. You shouldn't have to go and schedule a time to meet or anything- family shouldn't be formal. There is never a right or wrong time to see your loved ones. Just go there directly.

I'm not aware of the circumstances, but do you know specifically why they walked out? If you don't, just go to their house and have a talk with your mom and find out why she left you, and tell her how much you love her and miss her and want her to come back. Promise to visit every week or so, and stick to it.

I hope everything goes well for you. Best of luck to you and your family.

Okay so the guyy I like wants to mess around okay...and he like is going to be back online uber soon and he's gonna talk to me...like expected if you know what I mean...WHAT DO I SAY TO HIM?

If you really don't know what to say, just wait for him to IM you and let him do the talking. Keep your answers short, like "yes", "no thanks" etc---don't get nervous and start rambling on, or that will make a bad impression.

I want to dye my hair blonde. Right now, I'm a brunette, and I am SOO scared that I won't like it!!
I was wondering --> If I dye it blonde, and I don't like it, can I just ask the hair dressers to dye it back, or would I have to pay more?

You'd have to pay it double to dye it back. Also, it's not good for your hair, so I wouldn't recommend dying it unless you're absolutely sure that you want it.

Go get a blonde wig and put it on. If you like the look, then go for the dye. If it doesn't suit, then don't.

The washout stuff at the store won't work on dark hair. Neither will the permanent dye. The only way you can be a blonde is doing it professionally.

Hello Oma,

I was just noticing in your 'about you' section you have used bold type to some words, how do you do that? Also, how have you made some of the words into links?

Thanks very much.

You do this:

< b > INSERT TEXT HERE < / b >

without the spaces.

If you want italics:

< i > INSERT TEXT HERE < / i >

without spaces.

Have fun!

what does "playing tonsil hockey" mean? how do you play??

It's just a slang term for French Kissing.

I am 13 and obvisily a female. I had my period when i was 12 in november and havent had one again. And guess what month it is? It has been about a year, and of course i havent had sex. I know it takes a while to get regular but all my friends have started and they say i should see a docter. Should i see one? I have been worried about this a lot. Please help.

Many, many girls just have their period once and it doesn't come back for a year or two years. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. It's very common.

I wouldn't recommend seeing a doctor, because it takes a long time to schedule an appointment, and it's a waste of time if it isn't anything serious. The doctor will just tell you the same thing that I did.

But the next time you DO see a doctor, there's no harm in bringing it up.

tommorow i am auditioning for into the woods at my middle school (13/f). I REALLY REALLY want to be little red riding hood and i guess my second choice is cinderella. I am about 5'5'' or 5'6'' and my friend said im too tall to play little red. is that true? and does anyone have any tips on auditions or the part itself (its only a reading audition this one)
thanks!

Red Riding Hood is a wonderful role. I don't know about your level of experience, but if you don't have a lot of singing experience, I would recommend that you audition for Red instead of Cinderella. Cinderella is an emotionally and vocally complex role to pull off……..and being too tall doesn’t matter. In middle school, nobody really cares what you look like for a school play. Heck, I've heard of a blonde girl playing Maria in West Side Story........

Here is my best advice on auditions:

*Make sure you look presentable. Wash your face (....in case you don't do this anyways?) and put your hair out of your eyes. The audience can't see your expression as well if they can't see your entire face. But don't over-dress, because that gives off a bad image as well. Just dress normally and look well groomed enough.

*Get a good night's sleep the night before. I know that this is a cliche and your mom tells you this all the time, but take it from me.......a good night's sleep is REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!! If you don't have full energy the next day, your chances of getting the role are very slim.

*Use LOTS of facial expression, even if you're just reading. It gives a good impression.

*Riding Hood is an annoying brat; imagine someone that you know who's like her, and act like the person.

*Really think about the line before you say it. Think like the character.

Have a nice audition! If you feel like it, tell me how it goes!

I want to dye my hair lighter, with one of those like 10 dollar boxes you can find at a pharmacy. does anyone reccamend any good brands?

L'Oreal Feria is the best. It makes your hair color vibrant and shiny and soft. It even comes with a free deep conditioner that works wonders.

my mother and her big mouth. i'm a sophmore in high school and this has been going on since fourth grade. since then, i've just been fighting this about her as hard as i possibly could, but i don't know how to fight it anymore, because i've run out of ways to do this, i just can't deal with it. when i was little, she use to be one of those really nice moms. also those that would wear a lot of makeup and perfume and she was always so glamorous and happy, despite that she had just gotten a divorce. but i absolutely adored her. an amazing woman, however, she's not that lady anymore. She is in menopause, so she is always, always in a bad mood. Since menopause, that is when the divorce actually hit her. It did not really hit her before because I was very sick as a child, my blood sugar would drop very low and I was constantly in the hospital. She was very worried about me and that was her main priority. but, now, when everything is hitting home for her, I am the one that she pushes all her anger towards, and I find this quite unfair. I don't have any siblings, I don't really have anyone else, so this is taking a tole on me. I know that she has been through a lot, but that is no excuse for her to be directing all her frustrations on me. when she was fifteen years old, with her first boyfriend, she truly adored him, before he passed away after they had been together for about a year. So, now she has it with EVERY guy that knows me. She knows what a first love means to somebody, and she spends her time telling me that i'm a slut because I shouldn't be with my boyfriend, I should be with my first love, who I admit I may feel something for, but he has a girlfriend. I think she also feels upset because she did not get to go to collage. However, she was very successful organizing information in the bank, which computers do now, but she had a very successful job and made good money. but, when she got married and had me, she quit her job because she didn't want to travel. so, since she doesn't have a job and works from home for our family business, she spends her time looking at what I am doing and checks everything that I do from the moment that I wake up and go to sleep and wake up again. she tells me that I am a loser and the only way i will ever get into collage is by being in the school that I am in right now because it is a good school with a "name," u noe? I feel bad because I don't like to be called dumb. I feel that she is taking all of these things out on me and i have no idea what to do or tell her

I know exactly how you feel. My mom is a lot like this as well.....

About the college.....I wouldn't take it personally. It may seem irritating, but it's because she loves you and she's trying to make sure that her daughter is going to be successful in life. Just roll with it and try to do as best you can in school. If you aced a test, show her.

Did she actually call you dumb to your face? If she did, then that's awful and you need to have someone talk to her about it.

And the boyfriends..........if she's really that annoying, then you should just keep your love life away from her. Simple as that. If she asks about it, just brush it off and mention it in passing, and change the subject.

I think your mother really does mean for the best, though she doesn't show it. The fact that she directs all her frustrations at you is not something you're going to change. At this age, most people's habits are already firmly imprinted, so you'll just have to get used to it. This could be a phase that she's going through because of the menopause, or it may be that her real personality that is showing through. When you were a child, she was there for your to depend on. Now that you're growing up, she's treating you more like she'll treat an adult.

The point of this whole thing is....accept people for who they are. She has her bad side, but you're not going to change it. There's a down side to everything. Just accept that she has bad qualities, and try not to let it get you down.

whats a really good makeup remover that can remove water proof mascara and lots of eyeliner? and i dont want the expensive ones and thanks!!

Cetaphil is the best. It's this gentle cleanser that removes makeup smoothly. You can get it at the drugstore for $3

how can i put music in the background of my myspace??

Go to MySpace music and go to the page of the artist of the song you want. Click "add" next to your song, and voila! Music on your profile!

i'm 15 and i want to get my belly button pierced, i;m afraid it will portray the wrong image. i don't worry about how it will affect guys, because they're MUCH less judgemental then girls, i just want to know if i'm gonna earn myself a bad name by doing this.

Not at all. I know loads of girls who get their navels pierced. I know a 13-year-old who got hers pierced. It's very common.

People will see your piercing in different ways, depending on your personality. If you act like a total slut, people will view your piercing as just adding to the slutty effect. If you're a really nice, friendly person, people won't care less.

hey my friend is 4'9 and she only weighs 85 pounds she eats alot and everything but she wont gain weight. this is a really big problem for her and shes been really sad about it. what are some HEALTHY ways 4 her to gain weight.
tnakyou
p.s dont say to pig out

Actually, that's not underweight at all. I'm 5"2 and I weigh 86 pounds, and I'm considered quite healthy. Your friend does not need to gain weight at all. Even if she tried, she wouldn't be able to. If what you're saying is true and she really does eat a lot, then she simply has a very fast metabolism, and she probably will grow out of it. She might not; but there are always exceptions, and you can't base life on exceptions.

If her metabolism is becoming a serious problem and she becomes severely underweight, then there are special pills she can take to slow down her metabolism. But she should not do that unless the doctor says so.
