sorry if this is not the right place for this....
right today i went to pick up a kitten...
a little back ground on the matter, one of the mums round my childrens school was asking about someone homing a kitten she has just saved from being put in a black bag and gotten rid of by someone she knows.
she said he was 4 months old but couldnt keep him as her cat was tearing him apart.
so me being the sucker i am agreed to take him home. i went to her house today to pick him up.
when i got there she didnt allow me in the house as she was about to go out and had a double buggy with her. so she went in and brought out this not so kitten out to me , she said she was told it was 4 months old , didnt know what sex it was and so on.
well poor thing looked so frightened i put him in my carrier and brought him home. well when we got home i set up the bathroom with a bed litter box food bowl and water dish. took him out and i couldnt belive how skinny is was. he dont look it as his a fluffy cat but once you pick him up you can feel all the bones
he has matted fur around his tail and feet , and he is not 4 months old , more like 9 months to a yr old. he is spraying the bathroom he wont use a litter tray only his food bowl. he will not eat out of his food bowl will empty it on the floor. i feel so sorry for this poor thing his booked into the vets on tuesday for a check over and to be neuterd providing he is healthy enough.
how do i correct his habbits? im not going to give up on him this is his fourth home apparntly. he is very loverbal very scruffy looking.
do i start with basics like i would a kitten?
i hate locking him in the bathroom but coz i have 7 cats i want to make sure his blood tests and everything comes back clean first. but what makes me feel worse i was told that he was locked in a room for a month in one of his other homes. he has such sad and lost eyes i just want to do what is best for him.
