My cinnamon boy’s chest bone pops out and his tail bone is really jutted out you can see it along his back. His brother is not like this and I can’t tell if it’s just from being skinny and will fill out or not. He’s the less playful boy who just wants to lay around and cuddle all the time and sleep a lot. His vocalizations are also different than his brother, where he grunts a lot as a meow.
Having issues with my two new adorable boys who are under 6 months old. The black one, Noctis, has so far been eating everything from boiled chicken, assorted wet foods, probiotic from the vet and dry kibble. The other boy, Brimstone, will barely eat anything. I’ve seen him eat a tiny bit of dry food but he seems disgusted by it. And then yesterday I boiled him a fresh whole chicken and gave him a serving of that, and he ate so so much of it. Unfortunately he can’t live off that. He rejects all other foods and the probiotic. Even greenies kitten treats. Today I tried giving me leftover cold chicken with the probiotic on it and some dry food and he wouldn’t touch it. Just kind of smelled and licked it and no eating. So then I tried to give him just the leftover chicken again with nothing else in it and he won’t have any of that. But then he went right to my bowl of yogurt and was checking that out but I wouldn’t let him eat it. Is it possible he will only eat fresh boiled chicken? What do you feed your kittens, the picky ones? I’m worried he’ll keep starving himself if I don’t figure out the right thing for him.
We just got our two new boys in yesterday, aged 2.5 months old. When they got here they instantly went to hide together under a dresser and one meowed ALOT like he was an alarm going off. They don’t stop hiding under furniture since they have come here however found their litter just fine and used it. One is eating a lot of food and the other is barely eating creating an imbalance and they want nothing to do with us. I put toys out for them and they take them and drag them back to their hiding spot.
We put them in a play enclosure tent thing today with their food so they would eat and we let them out after we saw them both eating, however it was a little hard to get them out from beneath the dresser they like to hide under. No honking, just one cat that meows a bit and the other is actually a very quiet cat who barely makes sounds. If we look at them too much they go back to hiding. Is this all normal? How do I help them feel more at home and safe with us?
