WHITE CAT HELP??!!
<~Blanca' sleeps thru EVERYTHING!! She falls asleep in the most weird postions and places. This one isactually not that bad!
I would like to commence by divulging condolence and sympathy to your babies. However, your genuine benovence and expirences will help future cat owners take precautions for there white cats. So thank you for that! I am EXTREMLY SORRY!!
After scanning the collection of white cat info.. I become cognizant, most I never knew..
This past summer was my white cat "Blanca's" 1st. She didn't really have any probs. she's only 1. I aquired her by some idiot dropping momma off in our neighborhood, preggers, and we took her in. He mother, Lil' is the sweetest, abundantly loyal, angelic sweatheart. Low and behold, 3 weeks later, July 29, 2010 ..LIl' gave birth <the only night we were both our of town, under our firplace, on a cold slab of rock ;-( > having 3 twin gray looking calicos, and one white kitten.
I went about deliberating, "why does she sleep so much longer than the others." Nothing seemed to wake her. Later, I heard from someone, deafness was prevalent in white cats. Finally, I realized. I found the other cats good home.. and the momma and "deafy" stayed with us. I wanted to make sure she was well cared for. I didn't want her to go outside, at all, however, she wasn't having it. She saw momma going out and wanted to explore.
Recently I have noticed she will not stay out as long as other cats. I am from WV and we have variable seasons and temps. In the winter it can reach 10 degrees and the summer 90. Are they susceptible to hot and cold weather?? For example, do they have less protection, in other words, is the white folical thinner and doesn't allow her to stay warm in the winter; oppisitly, not enough hair to safe gaurd in the extremes of summer??
Thankfully, I presently know, to put sunscreen on her when she goes out. But what brands? Is there cat sunscreen? or is the reg sunscreen ok? Is there anything else I must know about my white cat! Thank you for the info!!!
