I have a few questions on assorted topics, so I'm not sure where to put them, I figure this is the best bet.
Sparky is our kitten, he's about 5 and a half months old and hasn't been neutered yet, just for reference. Blackie is a neutered 4-year-old male.
I have never noticed any of my cats having eyelashes, but Sparky seems to have some rather long ones. Did I just miss this on others, or is it unusual?
Often when I pet Sparky, he rolls onto his back to get his belly rubbed, and I notice he has an erection. I've never noticed that with any of my other boys before. Is this because he's an adolescent?
And a food question: I have been feeding the boys grocery store cat food (9 Lives, Friskies) and while I know it's not optimum, at the moment it's a money issue. They seem to have a preference for the chunks in gravy kinds rather than the ground kind. Does this mean they aren't getting enough water? Sparky also doesn't seem to be growing as quickly as I would have expected, is that because of the cat food? Should I switch back to kitten food (which he doesn't eat, he eats out of Blackie's dish and Blackie eats the kitten food) or is it just a plateau, or maybe he just isn't going to be very big?
Thanks for your answers!
