UPDATE: Maverick is about 20 weeks now, his guard hairs have grown in more and he is overall more fluffy. His hairs along his spine and are still longer than the sides, and longer towards the back. Unfortunately his stripes are not as prominent as they were when he was little He is also getting...

Here's another I found in the deep recesses of my phone - she's a year and a half (almost exactly) and has her old colored eyes (and that ball of fluff is my other cat Jack the week I got him)

This is the best front-on I have on hand, Luna has had very few photogenic days in her life. She had more amber eyes when she was younger, but they turned green (which I feel like is pretty weird, but it happened years ago now - she's 8 1/2 and has had green eyes since she was about 2)

Hi all, I have always thought of my Luna Kitty as potentially having some burmese, kind of like a failed bombay. She is on the smaller stature but has always been thick/solid (sometimes fat, but mostly just thick). Her eyes started out yellow/brown until she was about a year old and then changed...

I think I may have waited too long to get my other male Jack neutered that I believe attributed to some of his behavior problems (strong desire to roam and fight with neighborhood cats when he escapes) that I'm hoping to avoid with Maverick (kitten)

he's just this side of 12 weeks, by the way. Going to get snipped this weekend :eek:

I'm halfway torn between being excited to see what he looks like when he's fully grown and wanting him to stay tiny and fluffy forever! His longer hairs are somewhat covering up his striping right now, will that even out as everything grows in? I love his stripes

So my new kitten's fur is a lot different than the fur my other two cats had when they were kittens and I can't figure it out! He's really fluffy (because kitten, obviously) but his fur is much denser than I remember my other two cats being (they're both short hair, but one has really short...

Update: Maverick is growing so fast! I give him 2+ oz per meal 3x a day and he scarfs it down and sometimes goes hunting for more (though other times he just abandons his bowl to shove his face into one of my other cat's bowls and they all play musical bowls) I figure that I should be feeding...

That's a great suggestion on the freeze dried raw, occasionally I work 7-8 hour days and don't like the idea of him going that long without food. So far I have been able to come home mid day to feed him but won't always be able to.

Omg she could be Maverick's shaggier sister! I can't tell if he's going to have long or short hair. I suppose time will tell. I guess I will just put down a healthy scoop and see how much he gets through. Do I need to be feeding him more often since I am not free feeding dry food? I have seen...

Hello everybody! I just acquired a new kitten (I say I'm fostering him, but let's be real, I'm attached). This year I have started feeding my cats raw food and the new kitten is very interested. He's only 8 (almost 9) weeks old and came to me with Candidae kitten food (that he does not seem very...

I have thought that maybe that (jealousy) has something to do with it. Luna has always been more standoffish and Jack has always been the clingy type. They have lived together since I rescued Jack when he was 6 weeks old, so for almost 7 years. The change in diet has made her a lot more active...

Thanks, I will post there. Although I must say in every other way she does not seem like she is uncomfortable or in pain. She has been more frisky and active and more cuddly with me - it's all very strange. She does need a teeth cleaning so maybe you're on to something there.
