OK two things...
I just got Charlie, who is at least part Maine **** (see Attached). He's a sweet little guy. One minute he's a little sweet love boat, and another, he's so wild and crazy, going after my adult cat Vegas.
Anyways, Charlie keeps eating Vegas's food. I leave dry food out all day, and when I come home, it's gone! He is eating the whole thing! What can I do to get him to eat the kitty food he needs for nutrician? Maybe he doesn't like his Iams Kitty food? Should I consider something different like Science Diet??? His Poops STINK like crazy! And actually he had his own litter box, but has started to go in Vegas's litter box-i don't think she likes that very much, but there is nothing I can do, at least he's going in the box! =)
Another problem, and we've noticed he's stinky sometimes...don't know if he's passing gas, or if it is gladular...he's about 5-6 months old, and I'm making an apt. today for him to get neutered.
But this morning, he came up in the bed with us, and then he left, but left a really stinky scent on the bed. Could he have sprayed on the bed? I don't know if he is spraying yet or not. But it's a lingering type of stink, you could smell it on the sheets, the blanket..I'll have to wash everyting tonite when I get home. Even my boyfriend, who was sleeping, woke up and stank really bad. Especially his neck for some reason. It smelled just like the cat. I don't know how else to put this so I'm just going to say it because he described it as smelling like ASS! I can't tell if it is the urine spray, or if it is his glands, or if it had gas, or what! But when I went to give my boyfriend a hug this morning, his neck smelled so bad!
He's being treated for worms, which he started treatment for at the shelter I bought him at. He has one more dose to go. Could this be part of the problem? I mean he's had 3 treatments already!
Also while on the subject of worms, can worms get passed to my other cat, and our dog Sage?
Thanks for all the insight and help, it is much appreciated.
I look forward to being active on this list, and learning more about my new kitten. I'm a first time kitten owner. I've had Vegas for about 2 years now, I took her in when my grandfather passed away, as she was his cat after my grandmother passed away, to keep him company.
