Well yesterday (6/24/07) I met up with a breeder and got a 12 week
female Scottish Fold. We're keeping her in our bedroom (which is
plenty cozy, has everything she needs), but she doesn't want to leave
under the bed unless she has to. When she's under there all she does
is meow and meow and meow; she kept me up most of the night with it.
She isn't eating much (i put the food in front of her twice and she
ate a couple of bites but that's it), but when she does eat she makes
the cutest meow sound while she chews the food. It's adoable.
Anyway...
I know she isn't fixed and she might be in heat (but this young?),
because when I was playing with her and scratching her, she was
perking her bum up and making me scratch her there and she loved it.
She meows out the window every chance she gets; but it's mostly her
just sitting under the bed and meowing non-stop for hours that worries
me. Maybe she misses her family? Maybe she's calling for a mate?
We have a male domestic shorthair mix (neutered) who we've had for a
few more days and we gave him run of the apartment until we get this
new kitten checked out but they don't seem to acknowledge each other
yet (we're keeping the bedroom door closed).
She actually had some green gunk on her nose this morning, maybe she's
getting a kitty cold? She has a vet appointment for tomorrow but I
wanted to see what anyone thought I could do in the meantime to make
her more comfortable. Thanks!

It could be a heat thing, but I've seen similar behavior when a friend got
a new cat, it took a couple days to get used to the new environment.

Many cats like being scratched on their lower back just where their tail
starts. It's not a being in heat thing, it's just a feel good spot. My
Deetoo loves being scratched there and she has been spayed.
