Thread: Sorry, more questions / advice please

Hello
Your cat sounds perfectly normal to me!!

We have 2 boys and a girl, both boys call a lot, trilling and chirping, our girl is preety much silent.

Toilet habits - as someone else said, it takes them a few days to settle in and the lack of poop is a sign of that. If he is underweight, his body is absorbing most so he should go again very soon. Wees - one of my other cats just wees once a day, so as long as he is drinking and you dont notice he is getting a pot bloated belly its fine.

Food - all ours are fed as they want, we only feed biscuit, Royal Canin Fit 32, and its left down all the time. Cats are grazers. I would only feed what you want him to have but just give him a lot of it, dont introduce foods you dont want him to have in the long run.

Carriers - you can get really big ones.

Catflap - we dont let ours out. Coonies are not good with roads, and dont have much road sense. I know some get let out, you have to judge your coonie yourself. Also they are not like normal cats and run from people, in fact mine tend to come and sit and look at new people, and they run to answer the door with the dog!

Attitude or catitude, yep they have it. My boys demand cuddles in the morning and will get on my lap. My girl will snuggle up next to me but try and cuddle her and she tells you to get lost - saying that she is as affectionate as can be but doesnt like being held much.

Just keep doing what you are doing, a daily brush/comb, lots of attention. Talk to him constantly and think of a name for him soon - even if its what you call him - sweetpea, sugar, darling etc. Get him to know his name so you can call him - definately before you think of letting him out.

Good luck and dont worry about any more questions coonies are different! I have never had cats that wash me like a dog before but they do lol.

Hugs
Ruth
