Cash

[king2005]

I adopted Cash last monday. He is about 8~9yrs old but the lady really didn't know. His origional owner (the ladies mother in law) was put into a home due to many issues (mostly mental illness). SO Cash and his brother were scooped up by her, but it was too late for Cash's brother. He didn't make it The lady is unable to keep him as her dog wants to have Cash as a snack

Cash is fixed and declawed. He is strictly an indoor cat and playful. He is also super SWEET!! He loves to be patted and loves to sleep beside me. I think he use to be on a sleeping schedual as he ALWAYS wants to sleep at 10pm & gets annoyed if you make too much noise Then he'll stare at me starting as early as 5pm & meow in my face once if I roll over & face him.. silly bugger!

Cash's best feature is that he COMES when called!!! The internet guy was over on tue and I couldn't find Cash so I called him & he came out of hiding & right up to me. THe guy was impressed & asked how long it took me to train him. I said I haven't even had the cat for 24hrs LOL

Cash & Digi get a long great so far. I have no pictures of them together yet as my computer is packed up (moving).

The first introduction was far too funny! And the 2ed (this am) was fine. Cash didn't get off his couch and Digi ran around the new apt checking everything out. I'll be going there at lunch time to let her out of her kennel to meet Cash again. Cash has been at the new place all week & Digi was at the old. The old place is NOT cat friendly so thats why I kept Cash at the new place.

Oh my, he is so handsome!! That is so great that you are giving this "older" kitty a home. He sounds like a wonderful little guy.
I look forward to seeing pix of Cash and Digi together.

His back is shaved as his fur was all matted and gross, so the lady and her husband throught it would just be much better to shave it all off and let it regrow. His fur is very nice to pet & if you stop petting him, he'll give you a VERY gentle bite to encourage you to pet him some more hehehe

I'm not a fan of kittens as I like to know their personalities before taking them home (I'm not a cat person so it has to be a perfect match or it wont work) and would scare Digi to death. So an older kitty with a little jazz is best for us

I bought him some new food today, so I hope he likes it. Its a major upgrade then the trash he was on before, but its still not the same grade as the food I feed Digi. The next bag or 2 will be even better stuff.

Question:
I've never owned a cat before. Digi eats Orijin 6 Fish & he has eaten some of it (a couple kibbles on the floor)... Will it harm him? Is it ok to let him eat her food? I know if it was a cheap dog food that would be a big fat NO. But this is Top of the line kibble so I'm hoping its safe for him to eat it some of it.

Digi has a habbit of spitting her kibbles all over the floor and playing with it before eating it.. I SWEAR that dog is part cat!

I don´t think cats shoudl eat dog food... there´s this thing that cats can´t eat dog food but dogs can eat cat food... something ingredient-wise... but a kibble here and there should not be a concern IMO

Dog food isn't deadly for a cat it's just that the protein level of dog food is too low to meet a cat's needs. A constant diet of dog food would harm the cat's health.

Cash looks like he's nearing 10 years old. The muzzle starts to spread on older cats and their nose starts to get more rounded between the leather and the fur-covered part - the cartilage tends to slowly collapse. Can't see a profile on that nose but after 10 it starts to become more significant

Cats, like some people, don't like change too much. Cash's sleep schedule was probably developed with his last owner over the years but he will adapt to you and your schedule.

He sounds like he just wants to be loved and feel safe.
