Just got him a few days ago. we named him Tigger (Cause of his colors of course) and he is the most friendliest cat ive ever ever met. He made himself at home right away and was riding on our shoulders, sitting in our laps on the couch and computer chairs. He likes coming to bed with us but i cant handle him sitting on my face or in between us. If i roll over he bites
so when i go to bed i kick him out and he pouts for about 10 mins...will this subside?
also, i have a guinea pig that ive had for over 5 yrs now and i was wondering about jelousy. I love them both and am trying to make = time for them both, just dont want the GP to think we got a new animal to take her place. When we brought home the cat we put him up to the cage and they actually licked eachother and he meowed and she purred (so maybe i shouldnt be worried) he wonders whats up in the cage but never does anything about it....should i be worried he might one day when me and my GF are gone?
Forgot to say he is 10 months old and were giving him kitten formula still(is this correct?) and trying out different kitty litter. We got him one of the house type kitty litter pens with the swinging door. First night he thought it was a house to sleep in. so we took the door off and he still wasnt sure so we took the top off and he knew what it was afterwards..go figure
Now we have the top back on and the swinging door (to keep smells in it) and he seems fine...the box is scooped once a night.
Were only gunna give him dry food. Do we just keep filling it up when it goes empty or just once a night?
Also, when he scratches on the couch, should we use a water gun or a can of compressed air to shoo him away? Got him a scratching post today and he just went nuts.
sorry about my ranting...ive never owned a cat before and its just neat what he does...ive never met a cat like him before in my life. He rides on our shoulders, snuggles on the couch, snuggles in bed, snuggles on our laps when on the computer, follows us around the house and talks quite a bit.
