Hello! I've been lurking on this site for quite some time, and finally decided to join! I originally found you googling kitten nutrition when me and my guy adopted a very tiny kitten (runt of the litter, just half the size of his littermates!) and re-discovered you just last night when I started looking up raw food for my older kitty.
So! Introductions!
This is my current baby, Ruby. She's almost three years old! I first met her when she was about a year old, when I started dating her daddy. He'd had her about 6 months at that point. My gorgeous girl is the light of my life, even if she is still a little bit of a daddy's girl.
Silly girl is a crazy-good hunter, used to catch mice and birds while she was wearing a bell, but she knows she's not allowed to kill our rattie.
We lost our baby, Jasper, to FIP just a few weeks ago. He was such a lover, absolutely a perfect cat, and Ruby just adored him. She used to pin him down to give him baths, and he just laid there and took it.
So tiny when we first got him! He was four months old in this picture.
This is when he was about eight months old, just a few short weeks before we lost him. Still tiny! I don't think he ever hit 4lbs!
We'll undoubtedly get another kitten eventually; Ruby's been so lonely since we lost Jasper. She always sleeps in "his" spots, or by mirrors, and I miss having a kitten around, but I'm nowhere near ready to move on yet.
Anywho. I'll probably drop in on a few threads about raw feeding, I want to give my baby the best that I can, and if there are any threads about harness/leash training, expect to see me there, too! Ruby used to be indoor/outdoor when my guy still lived with his mom, and while I'm not comfortable letting her roam free, I do want to bring her outside again. She LOVES the outdoors. ^-^
I'm so excited to be here! I don't know many cat people outside of my family, and it's good to find a group like this!
