I have weighed him on Claire's scales, which she says are correct, but as Mary L rightly says, they are not the same scales he was weighed on at the vet's so I won't know for sure until I weigh him again in a few days. I knew already he had gained weight just by the feel of his body when I...

Buffy has finally taken to scratching it. It only took her three months to decide. ;) The last few days she's been using the horizonal cat scratcher and it does help her nails stay trimmed. She's got some sharp little claws! Ouch! She does let me clip them but I have to sort of sneak up on...

Spirit's been hiding on the bookcase and appears to be over grooming so Saturday she had the unceremonious loading into a carrier and down to the vets.. Kylie says she sound in wind and limb as it were and all bloods were fine. She's suggested Spirit might have sensitive skin and is ordering...

I think I need to change some of my Thunderbird settings, and I can't figure out how. Can somebody help me? Joy

"Joy" wrote in message ... Koala sometimes aims too high when he uses the litterbox. I have boxes that have a piece that fits on top to make the box deeper. For the past week or so, Koala will occasionally aim so that he...

a bit. He was dreadful yesterday. I thought he would go to the vet to see is he dying? he refused most food. However he is well (ish) today. He sez "stop all this food FGS" so the idea is 100g pouch for brekkie, 100g for lunch and just 85g at 6.30 plus some dry, as much dry as he wants. he...

Tigger & Boyfriend went to TED's yesterday for their annual boosters and health check. Usual dramas about getting them into their carriers, Tigger said no very vehemently and Claire arrived here a bit late with claw wounds to her neck, chest, arms and hands. Usual wowling all the way there from...

Hi guys, and it's been so long I hope this post finds you and your kitties well. I just wanted to share with you that California Natural cat food is all now discontinued. The manufacturer is still making CN dog food but the whole line of cat food is no more. I only found out because I have a...

it's a relief. Maybe he decided that the big fight was a bad idea. Boyfie will fight to the death for his house and that cat needs to know it. |yes, Boyfie did get beaten up but he sez it was worth it to see him off for ever. Never seen that norty black boy since.

When I adopted Buffy on June 2nd the caretaker said she'd eat "just about anything". She was feeding her dry food from a bin in the pantry and a 9 Lives canned food. Buffy is only the 2nd cat I've ever had. Persia had to eat prescription food for most of her years. I had to dole it out when...

He has completely recovered now but it's affected his confidence. He still goes out several times a day, but soon comes home and goes to his bedroom to sleep where he knows he is completely safe. I've always wanted his bedroom to be a safe place, even from me. I rarely go in there if I know...

Try as I might, my SO insists on sending me flowers for my birthday. I love flowers, don't get me wrong. I do think they're an unnecessary expense for something so short-lived. And I have more vases than I know what to do with. But it's the lillies. This florist always puts some sort of...

I saw Buster and Spicey get into a fight today. Buster had the high ground, sitting on a footstool, from where he rained blows down upon Spicey's head. But little Spicey surprised Buster with a powerful lunge from below, bodyslamming him off his pedestal. She chased him around the sofa a...

Who says cats don't eat greens? I bought one of these for Persia years ago: http://www.chewy.com/cat/smartcat-kittys-garden/dp/49067 Persia loved munching on the fresh grass. She preferred the barley grass but also liked the wheat and oat grass. Rye came in fourth. I still had a refill kit...

Just to review, Baby is a small girl cat, around six years old, who has lived in a box outside my front door since she was born. She's always let me pet her, and I probably would have taken her inside years ago except that she often hangs out with her mother, Jet, and I never wanted Jet to be...

This morning, like most mornings, there was a three cat wake-up committee in bed. Buster was had been walking and jumping on me for a while with pointy paws, but it wasn't having as much effect as he liked. Dot cuddled and occasionally licked my wrist with a raspy tongue. Then, Spicey decided that...
