Cat Forum / General Topics / October 2006I'm excited - just brought my new cat home
Her name is Mothra (Her coat reminds me of the monster from the movies) and she is adorable! Finally fell asleep on the couch beside me. I expect she'll wake up pretty soon ready to start playing again! Mothra! I love it!! Congratulations on your newest addition! may you have many wonderful years together! http://www.catinfo.org > Her name is Mothra (Her coat reminds me of the monster from the movies) > and she is adorable!

Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I'm getting mildly worried - after playing for about two hours when she first came home, she's been sleeping all day... And so far all night too... > > Her name is Mothra (Her coat reminds me of the monster from the movies) > > and she is adorable! Finally fell asleep on the couch beside me.

New home, lots of playtime when she first arrived. I wouldn't worry about it unless she seems lethargic tomorrow (and that doesn't seem likely). Concatulations! (Post pics soon.) MaryL It's day two and I tried to get her to wake up this morning and all she wants to do is sleep... > > I'm getting mildly worried - after playing for about two hours when she > > first came home, she's been sleeping all day...

It's probably just related to a day of unusual excitement, but I think it's always a good idea to have a new furbaby vet-checked right away, anyway.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> >> MaryL I thought at first that maybe she was sick, but she doesn't have any runny noses or eyes, she is using the kitty litter box normally, and she seems perfectly normal when I go into the bedroom to check on her. She does have a rather strange quirk for a cat that is a couple months old though - when she cuddls on my lap she has a tendency to start kneading the front of my shirt and trying to suck on it as if she was a newborn. I am going to try to give her another day (And put out some special food for her, since she is kind of skinny) and if she doesn't perk up by tomorrow I am gonna take her to the vets. For that matter, that would have to be the plan anyway, since no vet is open on sunday near me... > In that case, it would probably be a good idea to have her checked.

That's not unusual at all. Both my adult cats do this (we call it "mushing"), as have all my previous furburgers. It means you are loved. ;-) > She does have a rather strange quirk for a cat that is a couple months > old though - when she cuddls on my lap she has a tendency to start > kneading the front of my shirt and trying to suck on it as if she was a > newborn. It means the kitty is imprinting onto you as if you were her real mother. You will probably have a very affectionate and bonded cat when she is grown. Don't worry too much about the sleeping. Kittens sleep even more than adult cats and adult cats can sleep 16 hours a day if they are content. Also, if this little one is skinny, then she may be making up for lost time and lost sleep....saving the calories to pack them on to her little body. Vet visit is in order, anyway, though. --tension our cat charlie came to us as a stray. he was a tiny kitten. I would guess at possibly 6 weeks old, maybe a week more or a week less. throughout his adult life he was quite skittish however at night time he would jump up on the bed and suck his tail, pad the bed (or us) and purr at the same time. we often wondered if he left his mum too soon. we found it an endearing quality and would laugh as he would suck- pad- purr all at the same time. > She does have a rather strange quirk for a cat that is a couple months > old though - when she cuddls on my lap she has a tendency to start > kneading the front of my shirt and trying to suck on it as if she was a > newborn. |
