just starting here on the cat site. was wondering a few things.
1. ive started only feeding my 2yo male cat 1/3 cup of food a day cuz everytime i walks downstairs he bolts to his dish meowing for food. i feed him IAMS indoor cat urinary-tract health food. hes had iams since he was a kitten. started with the orange bag (protein-chicken flavored). vet recommended indoor cat food so thats what i get. question is: how do i get him to stop jumping up to dish/"begging" for food?
2. since he was a kitten hes never really cleaned his backside well. theres always pieces of dried pooh on his bum. also usually 1, lately 2 of his nostrils always has dried dark colored boogers in them. for awhile, until just recently, his left eye is typically watery too. he never shows any signs of pain anywhere he always lets us pet him and touch his face. he doesnt like when we try and clean his nose/bum tho.
hes due for his 3yr shots, i plan on asking the vet but im still interested in what others on here have to say! thanks in advance!
im also aware that the poor grooming can very well b from getting taken away from mama cat too soon.. my cat (named jack) came with two sisters (not mine) the owners are my girlfriends and neither of the two girl cats have dirty bums like jack..
