    Older Cats taking on behaviors of younger cat

    I got a pair of kittens a couple of years ago after one of my boys Nathan passed away. His brother Skye is now 12.

    Kitten Update!

    Hi All! Here are the latest pics of the kitties. They are finally starting to seek me out for affection and little Buddy (poor boy still doesn't have an official name) is quite the talker.

    Kitten Grinding Teeth

    So I searched the other forums but couldn't find any answers.... One of my new babies is grinding his teeth. It doesn't happen all the time- but every once in a while it will sound like he is crunching some food when he hasn't eaten. Any thoughts or experience with this?
