Oreo got a wet hot spot with regular 9 lives dry food. I pick up whatever is on sale that doesn't have soy, corn, or wheat. I don't bother with grain free, just no soy. Same goes with canned. He loves the 9 lives tuna and egg, but someone said that's bad for him so I rarely get it. He also gets...
It's been almost 5 months since the start of this thread. The kitten weighed in at 10.4 lbs this morning. Quite the giant for his age. He's doing pretty well. The old crabby cat hates him but they coexist. Here are two videos featuring him.
See what he does to this dog in the beginning? He does that to the cat also. The difference is, she REALLY hates it while the goofy dog doesn't mind. She beats him up but he always does it again.
Actually, not only is the female spayed, he was already neutered per shelter contract when he reached 2 lbs. That was quite a while ago! Also, I've seen males try to mount females. That isn't what he's doing. He charges her and jumps on her head.
Just an update for anybody that may have cared.
A vet said this kitten was only 5-6 weeks when I got him, not 9 weeks like the shelter said. He weighed only about 1 lb when I got him and was skin and bones. Its about a month and a half later and his behavior is MUCH better. He doesn't enter...
As a note, it is absolutely terrifying to watch that cat casually walk over the stove like that. Our cats have never been allowed to do that for obvious reasons. Also, rinsing chicken is a good way to get campylobacter food poisoning and isn't advised. And why is chicken broth being called "bone...
Oreo looks worse and I'm beginning to think he has something else going on. The scabbing on his face isn't normal. There's lots of hair loss and it looks different from just regular wounds. I'm worried that it is mange. If it is, I may have to get rid of Oreo. I have other pets and there are...
This shelter has a 2 star rating and has had it for 15+ years. They are notorious for poor conditions. Nothing will be done. Now its my task to ensure he's okay. I'll be taking him to the vet soon next week and hopefully he'll heal from this and be fine. As you see, the surgery says FELINE SPAY...
Okay that thing is probably the blue tattoo then. But he's male... He wasn't spayed, he was neutered. His adoption form says SPAYED though, which is kinda silly? But he was neutered. He had both of his testicles fully descended and now they're both gone and he has wee wounds on that area and no...
See all those scabs and brown scabby bits and missing hair? He didn't look like that before I admitted him. What on earth happened to him? I'm very upset about it. He has two thick black scabs on his chin.
His belly wound. When I yank the hair up a tad, I can see something light do blue. I...
Oreo went in for a neuter, ended up staying two days, and returned looking like this:
He didn't have any of this before he went in. His feet and claws also had damage. He also has a weird scar on his belly that wasn't there before. It looks to be sutured closed, with hair trapped in it and...
Thanks, everyone. The shelter said to only feed him wet food for now. Also, there is no bedtime. He plays around half the night. He runs through cans of food like there is no tomorrow. They say to feed him all he will eat but that just doesn't seem like a good idea because he doesn't stop eating...
He hasn't vomited even once and he's had no diarrhea at all. Did I mention that he will eat ANYTHING? Beans, watermelon, dog food, bugs, ANYTHING. He walks INTO the fridge when he hears it open. He poops and pees more than seems possible. He's extremely active also, way more than other kittens...
