hey! here's some pics of our 3 month old persian TOMIKO.
she turns 3 months 2mrw! here are some shots of her hanging out in her favorite chair cooling off by the fan.





and here are some of her looking for the red dot from my laser pointer! got her puzzled all night looking for it!




then this is a pic of her catching her breath after running around all night playing with her toys. can anyone explain why she opens her mouth like this? its really cute but i was wondering that maybe she'll overheat or sumthin. maybe lack of water? she rarely drinks when i give her water but maybe she drinks when im not looking. anyway enjoy her photos!



cheers!

Awwwwwwww what a precious girl she is
...... I would invest in a cat drinking water fountain or give her some cold water (thats what my cats prefer) ........ to encourage her to drink more .... does she eat wet food? Because she does get water from wet food, too.

Aww, she's the cutest!
My kitten Simon opens his mouth like that often... it's just panting from exertion. Kittens are more prone to it than adults because they use sooo much more energy! So after running around if she pants a bit that is normal

Yep, their little lungs just can't keep up, so they pant a bit. If you see her doing it when she hasn't been playing, then I would discuss it with a vet, but if it's only after vigorous play, it's normal.

She is an absolute treasure. Adorable.

thanks guys! she really is a cutie! and, we're getting her sister today as well! we're gonna welcome BONZAI into the family later! i'll post some pics of her as well when i take them.


thanks for the advise! i was worried about her panting for awhile there hehe! but i guess its normal. she usually does it after some crazy playing and running around! i cant seem to find a cat water fountain here where i live. i was wondering if any of your cats use a water bottle dispenser? those things u put on the mouth of a mineral water bottle then the spot gives off water when they lick it? i got one for her but i never see her use it and the water level in it is still the same so im guessing she's not using it at all. but, she eats canned food so guess she gets some of her water from there! my girlfriend's cats always drink water so im puzzled why tomiko isn't drinking.


BTW, please let me know if i should be posting my questions on a different thread. wouldn't wanna break the rules!


cheers everyone!
