Bren Manos
Savannah Child
Hello Everyone,
My name is Bren and I have a wonderful new Savannah F2 named Oliver. He is funny and adorable and I fell in love with him the moment that I saw his picture.
Since having him at home, I have decided on bringing home another kitten so when my contact told me she had another little family of kittens I couldn't wait. But, I didn't just pick one kitten. I picked two F2 Kittens who will be arriving here with me in December.
I think I am addicted to these little ones and may need some help haha...
I do have a question about Oliver. I have read many of the threads and post on feeding for the little guy and do my best to follow the guidelines that people have suggested. My issue is that Oliver is always a terror when it comes to food. When he was at the breeder, she mentioned that he was quite into eating but I didn't know how much. He yells constantly from the second we enter the kitchen until he is done. If I feed him the large cans of food, it is not enough. I have to mix it with dry just to satisfy him. Also, he ravishes his plates. I don't think he chews, just eats as fast as he can. He will run from his bowl to steal the other cats food then head back to his bowl. He makes these howls when he is starting to run low on his bowls. He eats any where from three to four times a day. He will not eat dry food that we leave out nor has he taken interest in any of the 100 different cat treats that we have bought him. i know he is not starving to death and i know that I am nourishing him with his food and vitamins. I just don't know how to slow him down. any suggestions?
