i just got my first pb pet. she is the sweetest thing! i do have a couple of questions....

1. Why do they wag their tails? is like a dog thing, are they happy? she will just snort and wheeze and that tail goes 90 miles an hour.

2. At 4 weeks, should I worry about her being able to keep her body temp up where it needs to be? I am worried that the AC in the house will make her sick.

3. She takes a bottle reallywell and I have been adding some baby cereal to the mix to thinken it some however, when I offer her pellets with some cracked corn and raisins (just a few) all she does is turn the bowl over. How can I teach her to eat it?

Thanks from me and Dottie!:D

For the food transition you can offer her a mush made of pellets soaked in milk. Often this will get them eating solids. Offer it first and don't let her see the bottle. Try a no tip cat dish.
