So I briefly took care of my mom's cat ages ago, which seemed more difficult than nuclear physics at the time, but I've now adopted two beautiful kittens of my own! Right away I've noticed some differences and I was wondering if they were normal. Oh, and they're both at 4 months.
1) My kittens POOP sooo much! There's like, TONS of poop. I was under the impression that poop sessions happened once a day. They did with my mom's elder cat. Now it seems like my cats are pooping three times a day each. Vet did a fecal exam and they checked out O.K., but I forgot to ask him if their pooping habits become less frequent as they get older. Wishful thinking?
2) Oh, this one's good. They barely shed! Wooo! There's hardly any fur anywhere. In fact, they both sleep on my bed cradled next to me, but I hardly ever have to wash my sheets. I remember my mom's cat would jump onto my lap, and by the time she left it was like she had sewn a quilt on my lap. My kittens are black, though, so it's harder to see the fur, but I'm almost positive that they're hardly shedding. Am I lucky, or are they going to shed more as seasons change and they get older?
Thanks for any help I can get on these noob questions!
