Hello there! So it is my first time owning a cat (my sister is allergic to cats and now she's moved away) and i have couple of questions for ya!
Oh, before I start, let me briefly introduce my precious "Nyang"! She is now about 12wks-old, pure white domestic(i assume)short-hair cat. Her name is derived from a cat meowing sound in Korean language, 'Nya-ong'.
1. she would not drink water! I've read that a cat does not need much water if it's eatting canned foods, but she wouldn't even dip her tongue in the water bowl.. I also brought her to the bathroom and tried if she would taste dripping water, but she got very frightened and ended up jumping on top of my head..lol any good ideas? or should I just keep hydrating her with milk instead?
2. She recently developed this behavior of licking and suckling on my hand and arm before she goes to sleep. I've read that she's grooming me as she would've done to her mom. But it said suckling behaviour might be caused by her dietary problem, which i'm now concerned with.. hmm. I don't mind her licking me all day except her drools being all over my hand...haha. Any good methods to stop this behavior?
3. When I first brought her home, I bought both canned foods and (cheap)Purina kitten dried food. Because she's been barely eatting dried foods, I've been giving her one can a day with a bowl of dried food aside just in case canned food runs out. But then I've read that cans can be given only twice a week.. What can I do to make her eat more dried food?
I guess 3 questions are enough for now. haha.
Thank you very much for reading, and for answers in advance!!
