I managed to find myself in a situation where I made a quick decision. Now I have ended up with a 14 week old male kitten.
I bought him home and put him in the laundry and he seems alright. He's eating and drinking. The only issue is a belly ache (with slight diarrhea) and I figure this might be because he is not used to the wet food. I have put little kibble food on the plate now too with a tiny bit of wet so that he can at least get used to it.
I was firstly wondering, why on Earth he keeps meowing at me. I took him out of the laundry and let him roam the house, gave him a cuddle, cleaned his litter box, gave him fresh food and water, gave him a scratch, played with him and his new toys, let him meet my dog. I also took him outside and for a drive (which he seemed to enjoy - it was to get him some harder food).
He has finally stopped now as I think I wore him out and he is asleep. I am just worried that something is wrong.. Even as he was falling asleep he would meow. Does this mean anything bad or is he just a chatty cat?
I also have another question. I figure that he is mixed breed but there is some distinctive features about him and I am curious as to what he may actually have in him. On the internet, when I researched, I came to the conclusion that he closely resembles an Egyptian Mau. Anyone who is interested in helping me out and just, in general, helping me with gaining some knowledge about kittens, cats, what breed he is, and what on Earth I am supposed to be doing to be a good cat owner would be really appreciated.
Thanks
