> One question here: What age should I go to adult formula?
I generally swtich mine over about three years of age. They seem to
start slowing down a bit, and the high protein load will contribute to the
normal aging processes in the kidneys.

ci >ter and approx 1 inch long).
Not sure about this one - ringworm, fleas, contact allergy, etc -
better have the vet check it out....
>(2) He is somewhat less energetic, and once in a while will shiver as if

We have similar trouble when we go on vacation , which now we almost
never do. If we leave the kids in the house, they go feral and forget all
about us and litter boxes - if we leave them with other families, they
appear sullen when we come home. I think this species often suffers from
separation anxiety, much more than a lot of people will credit...
