Was asking for names but now asking for healing vibes

I posted a Selkirk recently that I am planning to bring home and we came up with the name Ramona ! Here’s the nitty gritty 😭
She is coming from a crazy situation, breeder was in hospice and passed away. Whoever was “caring” for them should be in jail. There were 17 cats, All have parasites and balding from fleas. All criminally dirty. Poor girl had her feet cleaned at the vet and she had so much urine and feces caked on her feet that when she was cleaned her feet bled a lot.

She is in the vet still, positive for Coccidia and hypoglycemic at the moment. 4 lbs and 2-3 years old. Broken canines. My heart just breaks in 2…
Really hoping she can make a comeback.
She is lethargic and hypoglycemic.. definitely critical but still eating.
My friend is her current foster who took her out of that hell. Stressed about how much this care is gunna end up being after all of this. But think of Ramona 🤧

Adopting this sweet girl from a sad situation, breeder passed away and all the cats are being rehomed.
She’s in need of a groom as the person who had them after the breeder passed was not caring for them well and they all were flea infested with hair and skin looking sad. Can’t wait to see her curls in all their glory !!

Anyway, we love anime names, girly names, and people names lol.

Advice on feeding please

Post image
36 Upvotes

Recently we welcomed a 5 month old male short haired Selkirk into our family. We have a feeding station that allows for "grazing" cat biscuits during the day but he seems to be eating ALOT. Have owned cats before, but not a Selkirk and we are in China based in an apartment (no hate please). Please advise best way to feed him e.g grazing food vs certain volume given. What works for you?

How do I get my nuetered 10 month old Selkirk to stop bunny kicking , scratching and biting my feet?

My cat is 10 months old now, and I’ve had him since he was about 6 months old. He’s a male Selkirk Rex and is very attached to me. He follows me pretty much everywhere, sleeps with me, and wants to be involved in whatever I’m doing.

I give him plenty of playtime, and he also likes to play with the other dog in my home. He has multiple cat trees, a window perch, plenty of toys, and everything else he needs.

Despite all of that, he likes to walk by my feet, grab onto them, wrestle with them, bunny kick them, and bite them. I ignore the behaviour and leave the room when he gets too rough so I don’t reinforce it. My vet also recommended a Feliway pheromone diffuser to see if it helps with his scratching and rough play, while encouraging more of the calm behaviour he shows in the picture.

When he isn’t doing that, he is a very calm and affectionate cat. He likes to run around and follow me from room to room, stay nearby while I’m doing things, or sleep right beside me. He really does seem to want to be involved in everything I do.

Hes my first kitty and I’m a new owner so I’m still learning, any advice woukd be great. I do schedule feeding with him now, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner together. (7am, 5pm, 9-10pm)

He has a really cool seal point colour right now, and I’m curious to see how much he’ll toast up as he gets older.

Elliott is 10 months and he’s gotten suuper fluffy but still seems teenager size. Hes been like this for a few months now without much growth so I’m wondering if he will keep bulking up or stay bite size hehe
