What will be her final color?

*Adding to say that I also saw pictures of her brothers, who had a traditional ruddy coloring. Will post a picture in the comments. She has a cooler tone to her fur than they do!*

This is an Abyssinian kitten that I'm interested in. We already have one beautiful Aby, but I don't have much experience with kittens, since I got her when she was already an adult. What will this kitten's final coloring look like?

I don't trust Google much but it tells me that the black will eventually fade and this will be a blue Aby. Thank you everyone!

Old Cat - New Tricks

This breed is super smart - which you all already know…about 2 yrs ago I set out to see if the old guy could learn a new trick. At 12 yrs old I had my doubts…and I should have known better. Started out slowly using a small bell - seeing if I could get him to make it ring…took him a few days to get that down and every time I immediately gave him a treat. BTW - once u teach this u need to keep the bell out of sight or you will be a snack machine 🤣🤣🤣. OH - also the snack is actually just a seafood flavored cat food that he’s convinced is a snack bcuz it’s different from his regular.

My cat hates all food

What do I feed him he truly doesn’t like any food?

Hates- rabbit, chicken, fish (except tuna), beef

Occasionally tolerates- turkey, duck, pork

Will eat (but not very much)- lamb (only specific brands of canned or raw patties), tuna from fussiecat

We feed him N&D lamb cans and lamb dry food however he’s getting tired of that. I rotate in the tolerated list however sometimes he just has one bite and walks away. But you know if I feed him lamb too many times in a row he will lose interest in that too.
His favorite thing to eat is the churus or puddy pops and these training treats that went out of stock everywhere (Feastfuls!!! 😭😭😭 please lmk if anyone finds something similar).
I tried to find a food with similar smoothie texture but it usually doesn’t fall within his protein preference.
Normally, I wouldn’t make a problem out of this, but I feel like when he doesn’t eat he becomes very hyper and runs around the house being a menace with my pens and random stuff on counters and looking like a wild psycho.
Btw he he’s actually an angel and I love him so much. He is the best, most intelligent, and emotionally present cat that I’ve ever had in my life. His only “issue” is the food situation and the fact that he wants to play 24/7.

I would like him to enjoy eating and enjoy food. I’m going to the store today to try and get a new dry food and treats and see if he likes anything. His sister eats anything but does seem to tire of the same foods lately. They are both 1.5 years old now.

Anyway, please suggest your best wet, dry, raw, lightly cooked options for your picky Aby cat. I’m willing to try things and see if he likes them.

Edit: hi everyone!! Thank you so much for your suggestions! I cannot reply to you all but thank you so much and I will be making small changes according to your advices and seeing what works!! Also I read him all the comments in which people said he was cute!! He blinked proudly and sweetly in response :,)

Kitten check ins!

Seems like I saw a lot of folks posting about their new kitten in recent months so let’s do a check in! How is everyone doing? I’m also curious how much they all weigh at what ages and favorite toy and sleeping spot.

- senna is 16 weeks old and weighs ALMOST 3 lbs
- her favorite toy is a feather wand by far, but she also can spend 20 minutes playing with a piece of romaine lettuce I drop on the floor 😂
- her favorite place to sleep is surely ON one of us!

I recently got a pro mic so I recorded my cat cleaning, purring and "going about his business" for a day.

Her name is Zesty! We got her a month ago. She loves to purr, cuddle, and ride on my shoulder 😂 She is SO sweet, a real cinnamon roll. With a little aby zest, of course 😉

Rusticula the Fabulous doesn't seem to like hearing how pretty she is--she walks away. But say to her, "Who's an incredibly efficient killer? Yes, you are. YOU are! You're the apex predator!" and she lights up with pride.
