I was so glad to find such a site with such great info and people. I am hoping that along the way I can learn a lot from all of you, as I am very new to being an owner of a gorgeous little male kitten. (are boys gorgeous?) My BF adopted the cat for me as an early C'mas gift-something I had wanted for sooooo long. The kitten is gray and white, and as mentioned, a male. When I asked the women who we adopted the kitten from which breed this cat was, she said it was just a gray and white shorthaired cat and thats what it is known as. This didnt seem to right to me, but we are making a trip to the vet within the next week and I am hoping to get some insight on this.
I still have yet to name the kitten and I am hoping you guys could help. I am not that big on naming it things like "pumpkin," or "cuddles", I was thinking more along the lines of a unique name- if you have any suggestions, please feel free to share!
Last nite was kitten's first nite with me, and she was very playful. Usually I get a good 7 hours of sleep...not last nite. I think my boyfriend and I got a total of an hour and a half sleep. I would put kitty on my bed and then he would jump down immediately. As soon as he was down, he would meoooow until I picked him up--this went on for hours. Is this typical for a young kitten who was just plucked away from his family? I am hoping the constant meowing will subside, as I live in an apartment and do not want to upset neighbors.
I am trying to gather as much info as I can. It is now my job to be a wonderful parent to this kitten. Any tips, pointers or suggestions that you may have would be so welcomed
Thank you guys! I look forward to being a part of these forums!
