My 3 1/2 month old kitten, Spooky Bear, has always had really cold feet... since I've had him his feet literally feel like ice to the touch... not so fun on bare skin. None of my other cats have this... should I be concerned?

Depends on what his breed may be. If its oriental/siamese/rex type, then he may not have much hair to keep toes warm. Our cornish rex always had cold feet/toes in the winter cause there was no fur on them.

He's a Domestic Shorthair... no idea who his parents were, I found him abandoned in the barn at about 4 weeks old.

The next time he goes to the vet you may want to mention it to them--maybe they could check his blood pressure in his rear legs. Does he have any problems moving his hind legs?

Not at all, he's very very active... no problems at all. But I'll bring it up to the vet next time I'm there anyway.
