Awwwwww, so handsome!View attachment 293555
His name is Ginger, he's about 8 years old. Had him since he was only a few months old. When I got him, he and his brother Marshmallow had a kitten flu and the animal shelter didn't think they were going to make it but I took them anyway. It was a bit of a struggle but after multiple vet visits, they survived. After that moment , whenever I come home he basically pulls me down while I'm standing and starts kneading me and will fall asleep on me. I have photos of him as a kitten somewhere. I have to find them.
This would make me suspect of something about genes. But also... do they eat cold food? Like a lot of us here give some of the wet food and take the rest back to the fridge. Do you do that too? If yes, do you wait until it's warmed up? What about the water they drink from the bowl or tap -- is it cold?Marshmallow (related to Ginger) is now also unable to meow. Like Ginger he opens his mouth to meow and nothing comes out. Ginger's meow has been becoming worse as well and Ginger is starting to show very eratic behavior.
I would also suspect of everything that causes heartburn or oversalivating. Dental issues, acid reflux/gastritis to name a few. I haven't seen it if you mentioned on the thread but do they throw up? If so how frequently? Do they get wet burps they swallow right back?He's constantly hoarsly meowing and searching and trying to get into stuff and his behavior seems very off... plus he's become alot more - playful...yet aggressive at the same time....
