hi everyone!! let me start off by saying that i’m very new here so excuse any forum faux pas !! i’ve been frequenting this site as a visitor for a little while and saw how friendly and lovely everyone was and had to join!
okay, onto business.
on saturday i took home my new baby boy, ernest. he is 8 and a half weeks old, half birman and a really special guy! i’ve never had any kind of cat that wasn’t a moggie before, so if any of this sounds breed-specific please let me know. ernie is sweet, affectionate, funny… all the regular good kitty stuff. BUT!! he cries like crazy! not just little mews either, big trailing cries and gently but long chirrup-like noises. i was in the garden today and heard him crying from the other side of the house, and upstairs!
he meows to let me know if he needs anything of course, and sometimes will even meow for me to play with or stroke him. but i have never heard such a vocal kitty before, and im wondering if im doing anything wrong. he is healthy, active, eats very well, poops look good (well…. as good as a poop can haha!).. but still with the crying!
i don’t think he has separation anxiety and seems to have adjusted extremely well from being away from his birth family (i think especially since his previous home was very very noisy and its calm and quiet here). as soon as he is distracted his wobbly mews quiet down, but im wondering if he might be in pain or something?? i hope im just being an over anxious mama, but i know that kitties usually don’t want to express any suffering too much.
well this is already far too long so forgive me!! and thanks for any help you can give :~)
