Kitten Pictures *some whole prey feeding pictures*

Linds · #1 10-29-2009, 08:14 PM

I just wanted to show off pictures of my kitten. We got him at 9 weeks old and he's almost 5 months now and weighing in at over 7 pounds. He's such a great kitten and even though he's hitting his "I'm a big independent cat" stage he still really likes to be around people

It's been fun because he's been on at least half whole prey (mostly mice) since we got him and the other part of the time he's getting nature's variety raw and some canned food. He does have dry available all the time since he's a growing boy but he much prefers his mice.

....actually that's all he would like to eat thank you very much and will turn up his nose at anything less if he thinks he can get away with it

His name his Hamish and here he is at 9-10 weeks old

Here he is at 4ish months old

Annoying our 20 something year old cat named Clarence

*more*

He's so cute, he almost makes me want a cat!

Your old cat looks amazing for 20!! Why is it cats live so much longer than dogs?

Thanks guys! I do think he's a cutie...at least in my unbiased opinion. He's turning into a handsome boy and luckily he's intact so we can allow him to grow for as long as he doesn't decide to start spraying.

He does look like he could be Jades little brother! She's a very striking cat by the way.

I'm looking forward to seeing what his coat does. He's growing a ton of guard hair's on his legs, chest and tail so we're waiting to see how long his fur gets.

Zoom-We're not sure how old he is because he just walked in our house one day. When we went to the vet he said he was around 6-8 years old and we've had him for about 13 years so it's an estimate. But he's held up really well.

He's starting to go downhill, lost weight and is getting that boney look to him, but having a kitten has really revived him and he's got his 2nd wind. Hamish just adores the ground he walks on and Clarence seems to like him, even if he wants us to think differently.

I really do wish though that our dogs lived as long as cats. And I really wish that cats could live out their full potential, because I really think that most don't even get close to it.

the whole prey diet is obviously working for him, both your kitties look amazing!

im not a big Cat person as such, but one day i want a devon rex and thinking about doing raw (rex cats are more like dogs anyways lol)

Thanks! He sure thinks it's working for him.

If anyone is every interested, American Rodent has some great prices, healthy and err fresh mice and free shipping for what seems like a little less than half the US for orders over 100 dollars

Rexes are supposed to have such a great personality! I wouldn't mind having one myself. I have to say, not surprised you want one

Seems like most who have a crested and a cat have either a Rex or Sphynx
