We would never bother with a test, he could be anything and we really don't give a hoot. His mum is generational feral normal tabby, ferocious around hoomans trapped by a rescue breaking up a colony at a rubbish tip. She gave birth to a variety of kittens black/white, black, tabby and Jasper. He...
Woah! No way Jose! You so not get fed if you are shouting. You do not get cranky and then get fed. Remove empty food bowls, lock cat out of social areas if getting cranky. Feed at the same times every day. Talk sweetly but do not put food down if shouting starts, just walk away. Keep talking...
My longhair loves a groom but walks off in a snoot after about 3 mins. Have stopped that by grooming on top of the washing machine. I can go for as long as I want. He is super cool about it and only grouches about the illegal bis, tail and cataloons, he doesn't stop me though. It is the solution!
I am watching this. Sparticus escapes easily from his harness by running backwards. While this is mostly preventable it isn't if he panics. I have it tighter than his collar, so I can just slip a small finger under it. Perhaps it should be tighter do tell oh wise ones.
Just keep doing exactly what you are doing. You mentioned that she is timid so she will need to think about things, deeply, before she does them. As her trust in YOU is confirmed by your patience, consistency and love then her confidence will grow. But thinking is a time consuming process for a cat.
Take her to the vet. Wobbling is a concern at any time. I had one cat make it to 24. If it's any help my current cat adores going to the vet goodness knows why but he does.
She'll eat and drink when she is ready. New home, major operation, untrained humans = stress. Cats are naturally neurotic about any change to their routine being critters of impeccable habit. Now it is of major importance, and I can not stress enough how important this is.... Post a picture PLEASE.
I wouldn't worry about the kittens, they will get all that they need from Mum. Mum however will be hungry so some good hearty wet food and water available all the time while she is nursing. She will also need a lot of sleep after her big event.
Gosh wouldn't life be easy if there was only one diet to live by. My cat gets raw meat, steamed fish a few dry bits, chicken necks and apparently frozen peas (actually frozen) are on the menu. He is healthy happy glossy and has me totally wrapped around his paws. Not bad for a flea ridden lost...
Yes definately send him sunny pictures, cocktails and tans. Sydney does get cold but they do get an awful lot of sun. I'm in glorious Busselton, South West of Western Australia. Close to the beach.... delicious.
