Hi
As some of u know I have a new house guest. Growler tells me it is a diluted calico and probably female. I'm calling her Darcy for the moment, but that may change.
She was a stray and seen around town for 2 weeks. My friend called me for help as it was out on her window sill in the rain at night meowing to get into her house and trying to get in thru the door whenever my friend came home from work. She is very allergic to pets and can't touch them never mind live with them.
So I now have her and she is adorable and full of lovins. :) Her white was grey but it cleaned up some after a few brushings, which she loved! :laughing: her fur is getting softer with every brushing and she loves the brush! :laughing:
So anyways,,, I've given the cat/kitten wet food, but it looks like it doesn't know how to bite at it's food to grab the meat chunks. So then I gave it some pate, but I keep having to add water to it, like a soup. Is that going to be enough for this poor thing? (I have to do this with Willie, but Willie willie will eventually lick up all the food.)
I thought this was a cat when I first saw it, but after it cleaned up a bit it looks younger and it doesn't weigh much. I won't be able to bring it to the vets until Tuesday as the vet is going away for the weekend. I don't want to start introducing it until it is checked out. It has met Tegan and didn't freak out. It didn't go near her but didn't growl eaither. It also doesn't know how to play with toys!
Is there anything I should know about bugs, germs she could pass to me or the others? I'm a bit worried about fleas, I don't even know if we get fleas up here.
Do u think it is getting enough food? I am going to blend up some chicken later and put the wet food on top of it and see if she will eat that. I have been doing that with Willie's food lately and he seems to get some of it.
I don't know if Darcy has been fixed and if she hasn't and has been roaming around she could be pregnant! She is declawed so I'm hoping she is fixed.
Sorry I'm a bit of a worry wart when it comes to my animals.
