Why does Tiger do this? by
---MIKE---
Tiger has a toy box (see photo). There are three "basket" type toys -
the two in the box are like new. The one outisde the box (lower right)
is beat up, and squashed from being stepped on. Guess which one Tiger
chooses to bring to me to play fetch? Thats right - the beat up...

Hissing Tiger by
---MIKE---
He was at the vet for "shaving" three weeks ago and had a complete blood
check - all normal. His hissing is nothing new - he has always done
that. It's just his personality!

Tiger likes the Zoom Groom by
---MIKE---
I have been grooming Tiger with the Zoom Groom for the last few weeks.
He seems to like it. Hopefully, when his hair has fully grown back this
will prevent mats. This could take a year or more.

OT Red fox by
---MIKE---
The other day I saw this red fox feeding on the droppings under my bird
feeder. The picture is blurry because I had to shoot it through the
window (the fox would have bolted if I tried to go outside).

Tiger's mats are gone by
---MIKE---
After slowly breaking up the mats on Tiger's hips I have been very
diligent about brushing (with the Zoom Groom) and combing several times
a day. Luckily he likes this. So far there has been no signs of new
mats. I really wanted to avoid a trip to TED for sedating and shaving
like last year.

Cat licking fur off, vet gave clean bill of health by
---MIKE---
Amber had a bald spot on her left side last year - probably from stress
when I was away for a week in the hospital. The vet gave her a
cortisone shot and it cleared up within a few weeks.

Tiger's mat by
---MIKE---
Tiger has had a bad matting on his left hip for a couple of months. I
have tried a mat breaker, combs, brushes etc. but Tiger used to object.
With a wire bristle brush and persistance, I finally got the mat off
this morning. Here is a picture of the brush that did the trick along
with the...

Least expensive feliway? by
---MIKE---
Gail F wrote:
www.drsfostersmith.com sells it for
about $16 + shipping. That's compared
to $25 or more at my local pet store.
Yes but their outrageous shipping cost would bring it up to $25 anyway.

Fishers by

The latest Old Farmer's Almanac has an article about Fishers complete
with a picture. No housecat could survive an encounter with one of
them. That is why I keep Tiger and Amber inside.

Do you have two litter boxes for Spam? Some cats like to pee in one and

Depression in Old Cat After 1st Vet Visit in Years by
---MIKE---
Violet wrote:
I spent all day yesterday reading
archives about older cats, allergies to
cats, what to do when your cat is
literally making you ill.
There are medications (some over the counter such as Sudafed and some
prescription) that will control your allergy.

As of now there are over 400 posts on the "crazy cat" thread. The new
posts have nothing to do with the original post. These posts have
pushed useful posts to the bottom. Why not start a completely new

News group falling apart by

This was once a healthy news group with 1500 posts. Because of the off
topic posts and flame wars and the fact that a few individuals have made
it their personal chat club, many of the regular posters have left for
other cat news groups. This group is down below 1000 posts and dropping
steadily. ...

Vet problem by
---MIKE---
About three weeks ago I made a vet appointment for Tiger for today (June
20). It was for a rabies shot and to have some bad mats shaved off of
his back. He has to be sedated for this (he is NOT cooperative).
Yesterday, I got a call from the vets office saying that they thought
Tiger was too big...
