Thread: Sorry, more questions / advice please

Sorry, me again with more questions. Being owned by a MC is quite different from a normal moggy!

Rather than keep starting threads, I've tried to save this all up so apologies for length and wide range of questions. As not named yet will refer to cat as cat.

- firstly a health one as this could be serious. Since coming home on Weds cat has only had one poop and two wee's. All in litter box and I've searched all the usual places just incase (under beds, behind tv, under sofas etc) He is eating and drinking lots (see next point). My previous cat used to fill his literbox daily, and I mean fill, so should I be worried? At vets Weds and will mention but your thoughts please?

- cat is very underweight for a MC, just under 2kg (1.5 when i got him) for a 7 year old male. I know I am probably making a rod for my own back but am currently feeding him on demand to try and build him up. He is currently eating 2 tins of cat food, a dog bowl of dry food and a chicken breast or piece of fish a DAY! Should I be worried about this or should I just let him get up to near normal weight and then start restricting food / introducing feeding routine?

- cat has not meowed yet? I know MCs are quiet but?

- cat has an attitude. Don't think he has had much affection, so starts off very loving and wanting attention then suddenly turns on you, falls asleep then wants fuss again. Is this normal MC behaviour or is he on as nuch of a learning curb as me?

- is it normal for MCs to like water? Cat is obsessed with it! He even got in the bath with me and purred loudly while playing with the bubbles. He has a thing about sleeping in the sink, bath, shower. I remember having to bath my last moggy when he played in fox poop and that was not easy (4 stitches in finger after lol)

- crate / travel box. Went to buy a catbox today as groomers / vet appts this week, and sales assistant insisted that I needed a small dog carrier for a MC. Is this the proper size to buy?

- cat flap? Ok so when cat gets to normal weight there is no way he is gonna fit through my cat flap. Can anyone suggest a larger cat flap that still has the magnetic key thingy that has a collar to fit cat? Dog flaps had massive collars

- other pets? I have a couple of snakes in vivs and none of my other cats have ever taken much notice of them but this cat seems drawn to them. Would you suggest water spray bottle, NO, remove and ignore to stop him tormenting them?

Again apologies for asking so many questions but really just want to treat cat right and first non moggy I have ever had. My beloved 16 year old Samoyed died last year and I have feeling cat is going to need as much work and stimulation as she did.

LOL whilst typing this thread the furball has shreded my horrid socks that I wore to work today. . And has taken possession of my face flannel and is not giving it up.

Photos weds I promise x
