So now weve got Roland the fabulous fabulous cat, to keep Jezzery Doo Doo Head company.
Hes 4 months, she 12 years.
Obviously theres a big energy difference.
Hes quite healthy
..eating like the growing boy he is, playing, sleeping, pooping and such. Hes very happy.
One thing Ive noticed. When Jezz sits on my lap, shes the temperature of, well, a cat. Same as other cats Ive owned.
When Roland snuggles down, hes like a little tea kettle. Not feverish hot, just
vroommm, vroooom, you can feel his body revving.
This is the first time Ive had a baby and an adult at the same time, to feel the difference. Are young cats usually hotter?
I figure since before I raised two kittens at the same time, as the cooled down It wasnt noticeable. We got Jezzer as a young adult.
It's been my experience that kittens generally feel warmer because they're coats aren't fully developed so the heat literally pours from them. They also tend to be little balls of energy until they get older, which may also denote a higher-metabolism, thus more heat.
Just some thoughts.
Same thoughts.
Dang, the food consumption for the yard cats has dropped by 50% since they've mostly gotten past adolesence.
Stumble It!
