Should i be concerned?
Hi,
As some know i have two 8 weeks old kittens, smudge (male) and foxy (female).
Both seem to be coming on great and have taken to me greatly.
Smudge however meows allot and constantly wants my attention, i have no problem with this at all but his sister foxy barely meows but smudge meows allot, as soon as i start playing with him and his sister or just him he stops, as soon as he comes to me and snuggles up he meows for a bit then kneads and falls asleep, he seems fine health wise. Im just worried he's asking for something or maybe greaving for his mum?
He purs when he's being stroked/rubbed and kneads sometimes, as im new to owning kittens im must worried and wanted to know if this sounds perfectly normal to others?
He seems he Wants effection constantly and loves snugging and his head under the blanket with me on couch and i notice he likes anywhere around chest area or around kneck, maybe because he sees it as hearing his mums heartbeat.?
I managed to get both of them to sleep in there nice fluffy bed today and he seemed very relaxed even when he noticed his sister was not there, this is good to be honest as usually he wont settle on his own unless he's cuddled into his sister. They play like mad together and definitely not separable.
I just feel sad hearing him meowing so often as im worried it maybe something else.
I notice he only seems to want to eat dry food, he does seem to be drinking enough afterwards, i have tried several different flavours, his sister however seems to prefer the wet food more. Both the wet food and dry food say 'complete' on the box and pouches.
Im not sure if i should be concerned about this, meaning maybe he will take to the wet food soon, maybe loosing his mum and previous family and new home he's feeling a little home sick?
I managed to clip both their claws to when they was asleep on me as wanted to not stress them, i rub their paws when their relaxing on me so they get used to this feeling, they barely flinched and did not mine at all. They seemed very relaxed and peaceful.
I just want the best i can for them obviously.
Thanks for an suggestions and advice.
