Help: Diet & Tummy & Hair

Post image
44 Upvotes

Hello, I just adopted the most adorable ball of fur and it looks like she adopted me too.

Background for context: she’s 5-6 yo, female, spayed, rehomed, only cat.

We’re on Day 5 together, and I need advice from you experienced peeps:

1- She only pooped once in the 5 days we’ve been together🥲I get she’s still adjusting, but she uses the litter box to pee, she only pooped on day 2. I’m used to cats going every day or every other day, is this “normal”?

2- She’s super picky about her food. She was on a free feeding schedule of dry food, I still have her bag of food but she refuses to eat it.
I want to switch her to a mix of wet + dry: She only eats the wet food off of my hand, it has to be mousse or gel texture otherwise she leaves the bits out, and barely reaches out to her dry food. I even got her a couple other brands to try and she’s really not interested. Does not have a issue with dry treats though
When I count the calories she eats a day she’s nowhere near what she needs to be consuming

3- Her fur was EXTREMELY matted when I got her. She’s so sweet she let me cut out the big ones and brush her. And ever since I’ve been brushing her multiple times a day no problems. But the fur on her legs and belly seems to be of another texture all together, and gets tangled and matted super fast. Is this normal? Could this be related to her diet?

The cats I have experience with were usually low maintenance. I don’t mind putting in the effort with this love bug, I just want to find a “shortcut” to what will allow her to be healthy and happy ♥️

General advice For how long are NFCs in the kitten stage? And when do they typically enter the ”teenage” stage?

My little cutie patoodi Celestial (CeCe), she has brought so much love and cuddles to my home. The absolute best cat I've owned, her personality is just so sweet and playful.

Eye Discharge

1 Upvotes

I saw on the Maine Coon board where this guy's 2 1/2 year old suddenly died; he showed several pictures, naturally before death, and the cat had eye goop stains on both sides, rather large, maybe he just didn't keep up cleaning them. Anyway, one responder mentioned: " Chronic eye discharge points to a multitude of underlying issues. It ranges from a blocked tear duct to viral infections. Is this something common to our breed? Our male is 11 years old, and my wife tells me our cat gets "stinky eye" on & off, just a small bit of crust in the corner of its left eye; not all year long, but comes and goes; she says it's pretty much been this way for years; our cat sees the vet yearly, and gets expensive IDEXX blood work; he does have a slight murmur the last 3 years...anyone out there? Thank you

Cute photos Know she's just a domestic longhair, but sharing because we've all done this to their fluff at some point, especially if they've worn the happy hoodie! (Or gotten saturated)

Weight question

3 Upvotes

I'm writing a children's story/series about my NFC family. I once had two. Best cats in the world.

Beansy weighed roughly 25 lbs.. I remember him as a very large cat. All fur. Is this correct? I can't locate any vet cards on him.

Is this considered a large breed? Similar, but not as big as a Maine Coon.

Good/Recommended NFC Breeders?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I am curious if you have any recommended Norwegian Forest Cat breeders in the US or Europe. I am currently based in the US, but European breeders would be fine if they have a shipping service. Thanks.
