Hi all
I once had this little cute tiny boy kitten called Bruno. He was so lovely. I use to be able to pick him up with one hand....I use to watch him fall asleep for most of the day.....I use to watch him be scared to jump off the sofa or the side of the litter tray. Can anyone tell me where this beautiful baby has gone?! Because Hes been replaced by this super growing, lanky, gangly cat with boggly eyes and the want to jump and climb everywhere. This non stop growing cat is fearless and is naughty beyond belief. He runs and jumps on his sister, Bebe, while she's minding her business and nibbles her ears and the back of her neck. This cat has learnt how to climb the indoor clothes horse and to jump from the table to the bookshelf. He also grows every day.....so please, someone, where did my baby boy go and how come they grow so quickly once hitting 12 weeks old??? I seem to have misplaced a sweet baby and gained a lanky confident big eyed naughty animal :rofl:
(Who I love muchly and still comes for cuddles with his mum :Luv2: )
-
:evillaugh: It doesnt take long, does it? :Luv: It's a fascinating stage in their development, and one where I heartily recommend you take as many photos as you possibly can, because you'll see such changes in this first year of his life.
We were looking at some photos of Moray and were amazed at the changes in him - he wasn't even fluffy when we brought him home but now is almost a miniature Maine Coon complete with ear tufts and floofy trousers. :evillaugh:
-
Hi sue
My phone is full of photos :) but its surprised me so much how he has changed in the last week or so. His face is changing too. Hes getting a little more fluffy but Hes still a super cat. Very loving and playful. When do they reach fully grown? Is it a year?
-
Most cats reach full maturity around 12 to 18 months but some breeds, like Birmans and Maine Coins are slower to mature, often not until 3 - 4 years old. Bruno will be growing out of his "toddler" phase and approaching his teenager or adolescent phase. Hoodlums, in other words. ;)
-
Main coins - the pitfalls of kindle-ing ! :rofl: I try to keep it brief but darned predictive text beats me to the ground every time.......
-
:) that sounds....ermm hard work haha he also has realised he likes to run around at full pelt and meow and chat about life :) he's adorable but wow is he growing. Part of my can't wait to see him all grown up but I would love him to stay just as he is.
-
I know just what you mean - babyhood is one of the few times we see our cats as relatively uninhibited goofballs, without that aloof demeanour of adulthood, but - on those occasions where our adult cats let their guards down and we catch them at play, you see the kitten within, however old they may be ;)
-
This is very true as it happens with Bebe. She does allow herself to play once in a while and she will go mad. She will get big round eyes and she will just run around all silly. diving in and out of the Orange play cube which I got from here. She will spy her brother and then pounce on him :) its lovely to see. I wish we had Bebe as a kitten. Think she probably just left to get on with things.
I hope Bruno doesn't lose his loving character.
-
Bruno has released Bebe's inner kitten ;D. Some kittens never experience proper play which is very sad. Bebe however now has her little monkey of a brother to make things fun. I don't think Bruno will be less loving if you continue to treat him as you have - cats respond to our approaches - although as they gain independence and confidence in adolescence they like to test their boundaries. I've found though that if you continue to offer play sessions and loving gestures or touches they will normally respond each time with their own loving gestures. (Like when Moray eyeballs us then dances past and grabs our feet without having his claws out)
-
They do start to slow down gradually.
I dont think I noticed any more changes in their features after about a year, then they just seem to get bigger and fill out more.
I love it when their ears start to look too big for them, then they 'grow into their ears'! :Luv:
-
They do grow up so fast! (unless they're called Mosi in which case they don't seem to grow up at all ;))
-
maine coons are the second largest breed of cat bafter the Nowegiam Forest cat so he will grow and grow for the next 3 years plus :innocent:
:need pics:
-
Well the little monster who has taken the place of my baby boy is still very handsome...don't you think?! :)
-
Oh Lord - yes! And that nose is just asking to be kissed. ;) :Luv2:
-
Yes indeed and I think would I kiss Lupins nose.......................OMG noooooooooooooooooooooooooo he would have me for breakfast!!
-
NNN, he is totally gawjus :Luv2:

Hes obviously not growing up too much cos he still enjoys Tuesday evening cuddles in bed with his mum... :) :Luv2:

He is so coooooot!

-
He is so coooooot!

Stop! Thief lol :) he is very cute which is his saving grace when he's naughty or waking me up at 5am purring and rubbing his face all over mine. :)
-
Cant think of a nicer way to be woken, frankly. :Luv:
-
Fooled me, I thought we had a missing Purrs cat there :rofl:
He is gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug:

Yeah I did think that after writing the title :)
And I'm glad Bruno can't read otherwise he would have an ego the size of his boggly eyes :rofl:
-
Dunt know how big his eyes are - you keep posting photo's of them shut! :evillaugh:
-

That's because having his eyes open means running around at full pelt or being naughty which makes it tricky to take a photo.....sleeping Bruno = clear photo :)

:) yes he does appear to have an Elvis smile. He had just eaten his dinner so as usual he had half of it over his nose and chin :)

He does have lovely eyes! :briggin:

Tell me about it. Two months ago Astro and Zuni were two and a half pounds af sweetness. Now they are 6 and a half pound monster mogs. Nothing is safe. Apparently they slow down at 6 months when they are three quarters of their adult size. :really:

I was told by the rescue center, the vet, the PDSA and RSPCA.In the first 6 months a kitten will reach three quartersof its adult size and weight, the next 6 months growth would slow down until they are 1 year old when they will be fully grown. As with humans there are variations

I thought hollycat meant they would slow down as in their activities, not their growth. I misunderstood anyways..... Well Bruno is reaching 14 weeks and weighs 2kg (which I believe is 4.5 pounds, roughly), is that big for his age?
-
Me too. :shy: Wasnt thinking about the growth rate particularly.
I'd say Bruno is on the larger side, but not overly large. It's difficult to tell at 14 weeks, because some kittens put on a growth spurt and grow longer, rather than wider, if you see what I mean? Ross was a big lad by about 6 months, and he weighed about 12lbs at a year old. I think he's definitely been the largest cat we've ever had, but he wasn't overweight, just "chunky" (and gorgeous and I loved him!)
-
Here is a pic of his lovely eyes....please excuse the legs :)
-
I was laughing at you being told they would slow down when they get older. :evillaugh: no chance of that, my Bonnie is 15 1/2 and she runs around like a maniac WHEN SHE'S NOT SLEEPING ALL OVER ME :rofl: :hug:
Very pretty kitty eyes. :Luv2:

Bruno was this morning. He likes walking around the edge odbthe bath while someone is in it. This morning he slipped and scooted down the side and landed in a bath full of water....he looked a little shocked and spent the next few hours cleaning himself :rofl:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh: My Chloe did that, she used to sit on the edge of the bath but would never get in until she fell in. :rofl: She never sat on the edge again, but choose to talk to me from on top of the toilet seat.

Funnily enough :) I think Hes reached that age :rofl: but I booked Mr Bruno in last week for the 28th July to have his furry companions removed :rofl: :shocked:
-
He's just an innocent kitten, enjoying his kittenhood. :Luv:
-
:rofl: Now c'mon Sue, we all know there are no innocent kittens or cats in this world ;)
Look it, YES :evillaugh: :Luv2: :hug:
Mary
-
So Bruno continues to grow at a silly rate but hes not too big to wake his mum up with purrs and kisses and love at 5am :censored: :Luv2: he looks rather chuffed having done an excellent job of totally waking me up before he decides it is time to snooze once more!!!!
-
He looks so sleepy. :Luv:
Moray brought us two mice last night - we slept through the first delivery (most unusual, but I've been absolutely exhausted thrugh lack of sleep since last Thursday) and were woken by the enthusiasm of the second delivery of a much larger vole this time. It's a very thoughtful way to be woken, but ingrate that I am, I prefer Bruno's way...... :evillaugh:
-
:rofl: :shocked: oh dear....Yeah that isn't a pleasant way to be woken. It's hard to be annoyed at Bruno because he is just so damn cute. Though he still licks my eye lashes and then rolls up under my nose so I can't breathe. Im suspicious he's trying to kill me :naughty: but I'm sure he just feels safe there.
I am glad Bruno doesn't bring me gifts. I think I'll stick with the purring and kisses!!!
-
You're making me so jealous. None of my ex-ferals do anything so affectionate. If I try to touch them they run away, thinking I'm going to kill them.
I want a Bruno.
I have room for a purry domestic, must treat myself to one. Want a cat who wakes me up by jumping on the bed rather than howling to go outside. :hug:
-
And you'll get one Hippykitty, you'll get one. Soon, I'm sure. :hug:
-
Today has been a hard day living with Bruno for young Bebe so she decided to have a rest.... :rofl: :Luv2:
-
And very elegantly done Bebe. :Luv:
-
And very elegantly done Bebe. :Luv:
One does try :) its hard being a lady all the time.
It's so lovely because they play so much. They properly wrestle and chase each other. Its so nice to see :)
-
It is lovely, isn't it? When you look back to your initial worries and misgivings, does it give you a really good feeling inside?
When we first got Moray, Tinks was aghast (understandably so) and yet we like you were watching our two having a gentle wrestling game the other day (Moray seldom pushes his luck, and is much gentler when playing with Tinks) and thinking how well they get on now.
It's such a pleasure to watch, isn't it? :Luv: :Luv:
Aaah, feel the lurve.....
-
That was what I wanted for Alfie. Instead we got a bossy, elderly cat who rejects all his overtures and tries to chase him away :( good job Alfs is so good natured!
-
So he keeps growing.....
Pic one the beautiful baby that we brought home. So cute and sweet - :Luv2: :Luv:
Pic two the naughty cheeky and big bitey animal we now have :briggin: :shify:

Well I want to share this photo with you. Look at poor Bebe's face. All she was doing was waiting with Bruno for us to arrive home and then pow!!! :hug: Bruno monster hugs her. :rofl: poor Bebe!!!

:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Look at Bebe's face!! Bruno will pay for that in an unsuspecting moment. ;)

She has to deal with thus every morning before breakfast and every evening before dinner. Is he playing or being a bit naughty :naughty:??
-
Gosh yes, he has grown up hasn't he?!!
-
As Bruno is a little older now he likes to indulge in a bit of catnip now and again however Bebe isn't opposed to enjoying catnip so this evening they both relaxed and enjoyed some catnipping on a Sunday :Crazy:
-
PURRfect pics :Luv2: :hug:
ary
-
Bebe looks totally nipped out ;D ;D
-
Yes, Bebe looks well away with it! :evillaugh:
Love that wrestling pic!!!
-
And still he continues to grow :( stop now Mr Bruno..... :Luv2:
This is the monster, sorry I mean lovely cat he's turning into -
-
Though apparently not that big that he doesn't want morning cuddles with his mum :Luv2:
-
Even big boys need their Mammies sometimes...... :shy: :shy:
I love that he has a smiley face. Our Flynn used to have a smiley face. It makes your own lips raise in response. Beautiful boy. And he's lucky to have such a beautiful big sista as Bebe. A very handsome pair indeed. :Luv:
-
Aww :Luv: They never grow out of wanting morning cuddles with their meowmy. Mosi always has to have his, even though they are sometimes fleeting.
-
Let's face it, I think we love the morning cuddles as much as them ;) Must admit, it is the first thing I do when I wake up (unless I'm desperate for a pee) :evillaugh:
How is it we always capture them looking so sweet, innocent and butter wouldn't melt? :rofl: :Luv2: :hug:
Thank God for the digital camera ;D
Mary
-
Sometimes on a sunny Saturday morning you just want to lay down and do some relaxing sunbathing....unless your Bebe with a brother called Bruno......poor Bebe
-
LOL mine have a brother called Lupin !
-
The look when you bath your baby boy..... :rofl: :shocked: :shocked: :Luv2:
-
Aw man - wot for you wann go do that then, eh? :-: :-: Onerly durty peeps wash!
:evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh: Aaw! Poor beggar! Was he mucky?!
Luckily I have never had to bath mine properly.
Denzel peed in the cat carrier after being sedated at the vet, so I gave her a quick dunk in it :evillaugh:
She was stinkin! :sick:

Hi all
Just wondering if cats suffer with hayfever?? Bruno has recently started getting red weepy eyes. Hes fine in himself but his eyes, esp his right looks a little red.
Thanks all :thanks:
-
I think they can certainly sufer from allergic reactions. Wonder if it might be related to his recent bath?
-
It was happening before that, tho thinking about its got worse since. Hmmm think maybe I shall ask the vets when we go.
-
Yep, probably worth it. Allergies can be tricky little blighters to pinpoint. At least, as he doesnt go out, it will narrow down some of the issues. :hug:
-
When I was a lot younger we had a dog who got a rash on her belly which was to do with hay fever.
Also many years ago a friend was told by the vet to put eucalyptus oil in a burner to help her cats with their breathing but can't remember if it was hay fever, could have been.
Mary
-
The oil helps breathing and more like for cat flu I think, although have read that cats hate the smell.
Kocka wasnt bothered cos used it all the time for myself
-
I have a question.....lately when Bruno is chasing bugs etc in the house he makes this odd sound. It's like he's clicking. He opens his mouth and "click click click" so odd. why does he do this??? :shocked:
-
Because he's excited. Ours do that sometimes when they're watching the birds. :)
-
Yer Bonnie does that when looking at the birds through the window.
Mary
-
I'm not sure what it's called when they do that, whether it is chatting or chitting, but here's an example:

That's exactly what he does hehe :)
-
So lovely people, Bruno is still biting!! He is over 4 months old now and it ruddy hurts!!! I have cuts all over my arm, which dont look good, and they are sore. Any suggestions to stop him because we've tried everything and he still does it. He is having his little Bruno balls removed on Monday...bless him
-
How about tubular bandages on your arms? :hug: Sorry but I have a feeling He will just stop when HE wants to.
Good luck on Monday, that might calm him down a bit ;)
Mary
-
Methinks he will also grow out of this. It's typical unruly kitten behaviour.
Have you tried the distraction methods, and if so, what is his typical reaction to each method?
-
Hopr his vet visit goes well
-
Lots of positive vibes for Bruno's Big Day today. :) :hug: :hug:
-
Lots of positive vibes for Bruno's Big Day today. :) :hug: :hug:
Thank you. Hes very unhappy about having his meat and biscuits taken away from 10pm last night. He loves his food. :)
-
He'll make up for that when he gets back. Be prepared for one of two scenarios. Some cats come back from neutering very sleepy and just wanting to snooze it off. Others come back absolutely hyperactive, and bounce round the house like a lunatic - just depends on the anaesthetic used. If it's the latter, it will usually wear off later in the day, and then he'll sleep to make up for it. :hug:
-
Well that's one Bruno home and Hes eaten a whole packet of vet special food already. He was a hungry boy. Everything went smoothly and they said he is a lovely little kitten hehe :) so pleased he's okay x
-
It's a huge relief, isn't it? :hug: ;D Glad he's eating already.
-
Glad to hear that things went well and Brunoboy is OK ;D
-
Does it make them more crazy?! Lol Hes mad. playing and rolling around,grabbing my arm!!!
-
Isn't he growing up!

Mosi came back bouncing around like a lunatic but there was no wearing off and no sleeping :shify:
-
How's Bruno this morning? ;D
Yes, that was why I had warned he may be a bit hyper-active. ;)
-

Like he has not even had an op. He is bouncing around and being a naughty cheeky boy like always. Tho I can inform you that he does not like the head collar one tiny bit. I took it off this morning so we could have morning cuddles. He likes to run his head and face all over mine for about 20mins in the morning and he couldn't do that with his cone on. Bless him.
If having his man pride removed is going to calm him down, how long does it take to take effect?? Tho he is only 4 and half months old anyways so still very much a baby.
-
Xander was exactly the same once he'd been spayed he was maybe a bit quiet for a couple of days after but nothing that noticeable. Why does he have a head cone? Neither of mine had one when they were spayed and I had no problems at all?
-

Oh Bruno has slipped the whole quiet phase. he came home and looked a bit drunk but still carried on in his usual crazy way. They've given him a cone to stop him pickingt his bits. He only has to wear it for 3 days so off Thursday
-
If it was me I'd take it off when you are around and can watch him. I had to make sure Xander didn't bite Buffy on her side as they were very playful, but appart from that they were fine. With mine I think wearing the cone would have been worse than the operation.
-
Alfs was almost 1 year old when he has his op. You wouldn't have known he had anything done and he certainly didn't have to wear The Lampshade of Shame :rofl:
-
The lampshade of shame.... :evillaugh: No, ours didnt have one either, but I think some vets do still give them depending on technique used, stitches, etc.
Glad he's not suffered too much after his "ordeal" - clearly not when he's back to full snoozling duties in the morning, at anyroad. :Luv:
Usually when they've been neutered it can take some time for the hormones to settle down, but given that his would barely have got going, I dont think it will be too long - his exuberance is just natural kitten high spirits. They'll become more sedate around 12 - 18 months old. ;) usually. :shify:

He has no stitches......she just said wear it for 3 days, stop any licking.
And 12 to 18 months of Bruno madness?! Oh joy haha :)

Here are some pics of a sleepy Bruno with the cone of shame ....
-
Shhhhh - baby sleeping. :Luv: :Luv:
(Not such a baby, but still your baby, and still gorgeous!)
-
:Luv:
Gorgeous, said in a very quiet voice :shify: :)
-
Is today "cone off" day?
-
Is today "cone off" day?
Technically yes but he's not been wearing it since yesterday. Hes just not bothered by his lack of manhood. Lol :) he licks it very occasionally which we stop and then he just carries on his own naughty way :)
-
That's the Bruno we know and love. :evillaugh:

Aaw bless him, I am not suprised it didnt last, they hate them.
Poor Evie had to wear one for a fortnight and was sick of her life :( it was funny watching her try to groom herself tho when all she was doing was licking the cone! :evillaugh:

Haha sweet :) Bruno would get the label part of the cone in front of his sight whilst looking down and because it was blocking his view he would try to move his head to see past it, but to his surprise it kept moving with him lol such lovely little things :)

Bruno looking very much recovered and very grown up :Luv2: :Luv:
-
Bless him! :Luv2: You tell him that he's a real man now.

I have a question about Bebe....she is putting on a lot of weight and in my opinion is too large, what can we do to help her lose some chub and keep active? She doesn't really play as such, she sometimes chases Bruno around the house but mostly she sleeps...eats and sleeps some more. Being indoor cats I'm aware that they don't get the same chance to exercise but just wondered if there is anything we can do to help?

Very bright eyed and gorgeous :Luv2: :hug:
Bonnie's indoor and not chubby, plays with toys but not a great deal of running. She is 15 so maybe it's cos she is older that she doesn't put on weight? Maybe she is just like some humans, can eat what she wants and not get fat :evillaugh: She has 2 - 3 pouches a day and biscuits and loads of Dreamies every day too.
Maybe throw something down the stairs that she will run after to make her get some exercise? But do remember that cats are made to sleep, eat and be pamperd ;) ;)
