What a cutie-pie. I can tell you really are loved and thank goodness you found each other. It is obvious your person wants you around for forever so I have to mention to you that Science Diet is not a very good food (I don't care what the vet says). If you google Science Diet cat food ingredients you will see that there is no meat (cats are carnivores - they eat mean - not chicken by-products (which mean feet, beaks, crap that should be disposed of!); there are "meals" of all sorts, not first grade ingredients like in Wellness, Natural Balance, Evo (all easily found and comparable prices in the US). There are grains in Science Diet (whole grain, corn gluten); things that just make your cat fat. Cats need canned food - those who are on dry food diets are susceptible to a host of diseases as they don't get enough moisture and their organs suffer greatly (renal failure, diabetes, etc.). Let's be honest, vets make money when our beloved animals are sick - they also make a lot of money on the crap food they sell, which makes our cats and dogs sick. My own vet told me that in vet school VERY LITTLE time is spent on food and she told me to NEVER buy food at a vet clinic.
While I'm sharing, I also want to mention that the clumping litters that have any "ite" products in it - sodium bentonite, etc. are to be avoided at all costs. The cement that forms in the litter box upon contact with liquids (urine) also forms in your cats body when they lick their paws and underbelly or inhale the dust from the litter - this contributes to dehydration and renal failure also. Why take the risk - just use the old fashioned clay litter and avoid any dangers for your kittycats (and dogs - as they like to go "fishing" in the box - ugh!).
Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
