Hello ! I am relatively new there, although I have been lurking for quite some time.
On Dec. 26, I took possession of an abandoned Ig from our animal control, moments after they recieved her. She was dark brown, a lot of wounds, and very thirsty and hungry. I won't get into how she was abandoned, it is simply too sad !
Well, Iggy, as I call her, was to be a temp animal until I found her a home. I have nursed her back to health, she is green again, gaining weight, and her scars are healing.
I did all the research i could the day I bought her, and have been feeding her a very balanced diet.
She is a p/t free roaming, and a p/t caged ig.
I found out tonight, that she seems to enjoy visits to the bathroom, where the cat's food is at, and she enjoys a snack of cat food. This has me concerned, due to the high protein of cat food. I have elimanated that problem, but was curious to others' thought on it.
She also does not seem to drink much water.
By the way, she is 41" STL, very friendly, and enjoys curing up in bed with me at times even. I have decided to keep her on a permanet basis, and will begin construction of her new condo shortly.
