I'm come back from vet exam of purchase. Wow, a little tear in my eye when i saw Abbas debating. He is very strong and dont like it. They need two people with glove to check him. I hope Abbas never have other session with vet without annual exam.

i also micro-puce him and put soft claw! I will be able to give my comeback later if it good or not product.

Thank,

The vet said to me, he already have the Rhino before to purchase him. He sneeze in my car about 2 times, and between 5 to 10 times a day. Without this, he is in great shape! He hot his vaccine 24/04/14, maybe it is this.

Yesterday, i tried the harness. He is complety imminute, he can't walk and stay like statue!

It's normal for kittens to pretend they can't move in a jacket when it is first put on them, some will even fall over and lie there! Give him a little time to just wear it, then try playing with him with a wand toy...I usually find they find it possible to move again and soon forget they are even wearing anything :)

Ok thank.

In three days, Abbas success to take out only 1 soft paw on the cat tree. I think it is an accident.

Is it dangerous when cat play together ? Sometimes Abbas cry because Mya bite him (she dont have claw). I"m a little bit afraid to leave them two days in row, sometimes me and my girlfriend need to go to another town for 1 night.

I also have this problem, Abbas eat Mya food (adulte food cat) and he eat his food too, some raw beef or essential care of purina. He empty a bowl by day!

Cats can play rough, and sometimes it takes a bit for them to figure out what's enough. Are their ears down or does Abbas try to hide from Mya after this happens? Or does he continue to play? If the ears are up and they continue, and there's no damage done, then I think they're doing fine.

A cat without front claws will often resort to biting much quicker than if they had claws--and cat bites are much more likely to get infected. One of the many reasons I don't like declawing.

Young cats should be allowed to eat as much as they want. It's only once they get older that you have to start worrying about them gaining too much. Savannahs in particular seem to stay pretty lean on their own. So, feed Abbas more and he'll be happier and healthier.

Ears of Abbas still up. I saw 1-2 times ears turn around. He jump on her and back off etc. He also run run run run all the appartment and jump again on her. She also run on him to bite and he cry. I will try to catch up one video when it will happen.

He really love raw beef. Every time i open the fridge, he ask me some. Today, he try to bite me because my hand smell it.

I completely agree with Chris regarding the play and the feeding. Crying is part of their play. And if he is licking his bowl clean you probably need to be giving him more food.

Crying out when bit too hard is part of their play...it's how they cry "enough", and how the other cat knows they need to stop. As long as he isn't running and trying to hide from Mya all is well... usually you will see the kitten cry like that and when the older cat sits back the kitten will leap back at them...

Abbas does not know that is Mya's dish, they can't read and although they seem to listen to us they aren't actually understanding us... so he thinks it is food and he is hungry so he will eat it. He's a growing kitten and they often eat more than you expect but they are burning energy both in play and in growth.
