My husband and I took in a stray kitten one week ago. He is a little sweetheart! Loves being pet and sleeps with us every night. It seems like he had a home at one time (due to his personality) but he was skinny, flees were bad and he had a lot of crusty flee dust along his back side+ ear mites. He will see a vet soon for his shots and check up. The problem is..... he wants food all the time. We know how much he should be eating and we have measured his food but he cries a lot because he wants more!!! We don''t give him more but he is driving us nuts. He will eat himself to death if we let him. He is always crying in the kitchen when we eat or when it comes time for him to eat. One time I was eating cheese, I turned my head for a second and he had the whole piece in his mouth. The same thing happened with a piece of chocolate cake, we got it before he could eat it but CHOCOLATE?? who would have thought he would want C. Cake. Its like he still feels he has to eat everything he can because he doesn''t know when he will eat again. This makes me think he has been on the streets longer but I cant really tell. He eats crumbs off the floor!! Should I be worried or will he grow out of it? Has anyone gone through this before?
