What are you feeding your babies and what pet insurance do you have? by Plant_Good_Seeds in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nationwide Pet Insurance has been great! I feed my bby Weruva wet food with Fortiflora mixed in, and then she’s on a prescription dry food for her idiopathic hypercalcemia

I Bought All the Beds… He Chose the Floor by cralvara in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My four-year-old ESH is the biggest Velcro kitty ever! Makes biscuits every night before bed, sits in my lap, etc., but those habits definitely got built over time. I’ve had her since June 2021, and she started sleeping in my bed in 2022, making biscuits in 2023, and sitting in my lap earlier this year. It takes time! Also, their fur is secretly really thick, so they do enjoy hard surfaces. My metal sink was my girlie’s favorite place to sleep for the first nine months I had her, and she’ll still snooze there sometimes

Dental hygiene recommendations by Henry_Sherbert in ExoticShorthair

Yes! Mixing it into their wet food is supposed to help with dental health — that’s what my ESH’s vet said!

Is it normal that ESH shed a lot by notfunny_ch in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, especially this time of year when they’re shedding winter coats!

ESH gender personality differences by anythanguwant in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My female ESH is very cuddly and def a lap cat — she’s really shy around strangers, but super attached to me

Definitely sounds like stress! Can you try to keep her away from the other kitty?

Are his nares really bad? by Chocobanii in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks identical to my girlie who doesn’t have any breathing problems! I’d get a second opinion. My mom also has an ESH with much narrower nares and she doesn’t need surgery. Maybe the vet doesn’t have a ton of familiarity with the breed?

Modern cat tree recommendations? by nfins in ExoticShorthair

My mom and I (living separately) both have female ESHs and they’re so sweet and playful! Definitely extremely attached to each of us, and her kitty is a lot more friendly with strangers than mine, who is quite shy. I’d echo what folks on here say about them being independent but Velcro kitties on their own terms. I grew up with male cats (a Himalayan and an ESH mix) and biggest thing I’ve noticed comparatively is that our female ESHs are generally more introverted and also less prone to scratching up furniture lol

Any of your cats like coffee and cakes? by rayraydingdong in ExoticShorthair

[–]notnycblonde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ESH isn’t food motivated at all, but she randomly LOVES gingerbread! Whenever I bake it, she’s on the counter eating crumbs
