I know I'm going to get a lecture from at least one person here for this, and sorry for the long post. But my dad passed away in feb. And I decided I wanted to buy something I would enjoy with the little bit of money he left behind, so I bought an f1 bengal from a breeder whom I now have many doubts with. Long story short I paid in full for my kitten in early march, all the way up to him being for weeks old he had varied health problems, corneal ulcer, pnemonia, two rectal prolapses after which he was put down. She told me about her planned breedings and advocated for me to get a kitten from a certain queen saying she thought it would be a good fit. After two queens had their litter I picked from the queen she had suggested...now she was discouraging it saying they were standoffish kittens and this mother always had standoffish kittens and to pick from her new litter. Then somone was returning their kitten and she was pushing for me to get that kitten, I spoke with the current owner and she said that her kitten needed to be an only cat....the breeder knows I have a cat already. So I ended up taking the kitten I had picked anyway. When he was 8 weeks old she left and went on her honeymoon for 2 weeks, as soon as she got back she sent him to me (10 weeks) so he spent 2 weeks being fed by whomever, but not socialized. I got him Friday at noon and it is now Monday. I can pet him sometimes, can't pick him up. He occasionaly spits and hisses pretty often, he eats wet food but doesn't seem to drink much and is using his litter box fine. He doesn't seem to do anything at all during the day, he's enclosed in the bathroom but is always hiding in the exact same spot when I come in. Am I in for some trouble with this little guy?
