Onyx is all black with no tail and a very active kitten . It has been seven years since I had a kitten and have a few questions.
First and foremost is his interaction with our pet dutch bunny. The bunny is a mature male and doesn't seem to be bothered by the Onyx. Our worry is about him "humping" the kitten. I have been told that cats and rabbits usually get along really well, but this is a bit too well. We are worried because Onyx is so young. We have moved the bunny into a cage for the first time in his life, because this morning we almost couldn't get the bunny off the kitten. Even with the bunny in the cage Onyx continues to try to play with him. Do you think the bunny will hurt Onyx or should we let them do their thing?
Second; biting, at first I thought it was Onyx's way of telling me he was hungry, cound he really be 'that' hungry? How much, often, does a seven week old kitten eat? How do I get him to stop biting? When he bites, regardless of how hard, I say in a firm sharp voice "OUCH" hoping he will catch on that it hurts. if he don't stop with that I put him on the floor.
Third; drinking, what is he supposed to be drinking? The family I got him from said to give him cows milk, but he is not a baby cow so I opted not to. I got some "CatSips" catmilk, and he seems to like it enough. I also have water available to him, but he doesn't seem to be drinking enough for how hot it has been.
Fourth; poisonous bugs, namly spiders, will they make Onyx sick if he eats one, he loves to catch bugs.
Fifth and final; eggs, I used to feed Opus(rest his soul) a raw egg every week to two weeks and he loved them. It also made his fur nice and shiney and soft. Is Onyx old enough for this treat or should I wait till he is older?
one more thing, are all tailess cats manx?
