Her name is Shayla. Is she considered a domestic long hair tortoiseshell or calico? I got her Sunday and settled her in around 5 p.m. She is eating and drinking. She seems to only pee once a day so far. Yesterday, FINALLY, she had her first bowel movement. Around 10 p.m. last night, it was about 3 or 4 little marble size firm 'balls' of poo. is this normal.
I know having a kitten this young is not ideal, but the man I got her from thought he was taking care of his neighbors' cat for a few hours, she never returned and the cat was pregnant! He did a good job. I also realize that clay litter is ideal but he had her using cat's pride and so I continued with my fresh step so as not to confuse her too much [they look alike] ,and she is so finicky and she is a little baby so I don't want to stress her. When I am at work, she stays in my room with a litter pan, food, water, and besides her purina kitten chow, I softened some of the nutro canned, just in case
. she is beautiful, and i am looking forward to a long life with her.
Also, this beauty has a LOT of hair!! and she is grooming already, and my 6-month old [siamese mix seal point] has already decided to give her some lovin' and groom also. should I fear impaction due to her being so young with all that hair, grooming herself?? This is really my number one concern right now. Is she too young for hair ball remedy or laxatone?
Thursday she will go to vet and get her first deworm/shots and frontline PLUS not topspot. The man I got her from had her on purina kitten chow. and right now she refuses sophie's kitten nutro natural dry kibbleand the nutro natural canned chicken and lamb/chicken and beef.
Please respond
