Thank you :) he's an awesome little guy ..although not exactly so little now lol he is at 8 pounds currently. He actually tried some dry food yesterday or overnight , not sure exactly when but it is encouraging. I'm going to have a look through the links you provided. Hopefully we can avoid the...

Also he's eating less which is why I believe he is in pain. He eats pate wet food and I free feed dry. He hasn't touched the dry which is understandable. He's eating around 5.5 ounces of wet food or less. And drinking water. Also using the litter box.

So Smokey recently got neutered ( yay ! :) ) He's healing well and it's been almost a week so we are past the danger zone. Now however he's having issues with his teeth. For a while he had both his adult and baby canine out. Both baby teeth fell out over these last couple of days but now the...

Smokey and one of his fave human siblings :) :redheartpump: Also him sleeping in bed curled up next to me :)

Smokey prefers the cold wet food but I won't lie I kind of feel bad about giving it to him like that. Obviously that's a more me thing but I don't want him to eat less because he doesn't prefer it heated. I actually just add warm water and today I gave it to him with a little warmer water. He'll...

I think I would do commercial raw. I'm not sure of any place here who sells it here but in all honesty I haven't looked. I've just been looking into freeze dried. But I don't want to transition him into anything prohibitively expensive either. I know at least an well food diet is better than...

Actually I don't even know. I'm going to look into it now. I didn't think anything of it but I'm learning as I go. I'm just going to keep leaving fresh bowls of water out for him and maybe he'll actually try it. I'm currently doing an all wet diet and feed him 4-5 times a day.

Smokey pees regularly too. That's why I try not to worry too much. And I was thinking that as well. If he didn't like it , he wouldn't eat it no matter how hungry he was. That's how he is with dry food. I was getting a little worried because honestly he's a little fatty but he wasn't eating as...

@neo_23 well that alleviates my worries :) I usually mush it up with a fork before giving it to him. But he had no issue eating it cold today. Just wasn't so enthusiastic about it after it was heated up lol @himawari I usually add in room temp water to most of his meals as he's giving me a...

I actually didn't have a huge issue trimming Smokey's nails but then again he's still tiny. I'm pretty sure he's not going to like any grooming routines though. Having another cat or kitten does help curb the biting but it's not always a feasible option. For now , I'm just doing the firm no and...

@lisahe @neo_23 any tips on feeding refrigerated wet food ? Will it make his stomach hurt ? I've been heating it up but he seems like he doesn't like it that way. I've had to feed him from a fork to get him to eat today. Yesterday his appetite was a little down too but again I heated up the...

@Korinmewmew Korin looks like a medium hair to me. She doesn't have the typical puffy tail but the extra hair at the ears is usually a trait of a longer haired kitty. So she might get the puffy tail later on who knows. And I do agree she has that whole regal look about her :) I'll keep updating...

She is beautiful :) I love her eyes. They get a deeper blue as you get closer to the pupil. That's how it looks from the pictures. Smokey has white on the tips of his paws but it doesn't stretch all the way like Korin's. Korin seems like she will be a lot lighter than Smokey. She's a medium hair...

@lisahe sorry didn't mean to tag you in the last post .. I'm a little sleepy. Your cats are cute :) I'm pretty sure Smokey will look like your lynx point. Probably somewhat darker because his nose is really dark. Smokey had one sibling that looked just like him , another that had the more...

There's so many things to avoid , it kind of makes your head hurt ...or at least mine anyways lol but I do know I definitely want to avoid potatoes , peas , any grains and carrageeneen. Maybe later on that list will expand but there's so many foods with guar gum or some type of gum that it's...

Thank you :) and I'll be sure to keep posting pictures of him. I'm curious to see how his color changes as well. The ones I included are pretty recent. But this one is from today. He was laying on my daughter. He loves snuggling with her while she's asleep lol You can kind of see the rings...

@mama africa I'm pretty sure I came across a post about her when I was searching for info on lynx point tabbies. I read a lot before I posted on Smokey. So far I've only heard him do the traditional meow. He's a little dog like to me. He's also still learning that night is sleep time. Some days...

I was actually up late last night looking at the diff options for wet food and I think I'm going to stick with all wet for now and once he hits 4-5 months start to regulate his feedings and add in some freeze dried. I'm going with @neo_23's kitten's age as a reference point. I was calculating...

Yes he definitely seems shorthair but I don't think I've personally seen a kitten with the extra hair at the tip. I've seen it in pictures though. It's why I asked. I was thinking that as well , that one of his parents must have been a point. I don't know for sure but I just assumed because...

She's beautiful :) I'm thinking he's definitely gonna get darker just based off of all the pictures I've seen on the forums after I posted this. I was kind of hoping his tail would just stay dark and not get the rings but I can kind of see them now. It's fine either way. I still think he's a...
