Hi all,
We just got a two-month old male kitten 1 1/2 weeks ago. He had been living with his 4 brothers and sisters until we brought him home.
The first several days his behavior was similar to that reported by his previous home - he was docile, loved to be held, relaxed in your arms, etc. Now, he tears around the house, climbs me (and just about everything else) like a tree, doesn't like to be held too close but loves to curl up with us to sleep (after he pounces on various parts of our bodies for what seems like an eternity and tries to eat my hair).
My hubby was wondering if it is our kitty food. I've been giving him IAMS kitten food with a very small amount of high quality (Merrick's, and others) wet food mixed in. I've also been giving him a few drops of salmon oil. Could there be something to this? Prior to us, he was being fed "Special Kitty" food (?) or whatever the cats were eating if he ate their food or whatever he was scrounging (they weren't too concerned)
Help and ideas are very much appreciated - he's just about driving me nuts !!!! =-)
Thanks!
