Dr. French will be able to see us at 6PM today. Tayla, Archer, and Ozzy all have URIs (Ozzy's is bad, he hacks constantly), they all have diarrhea, they all have ear mites, and I'm pretty sure they all have several varieties of parasites. They probably won't get their vaccinations today since...

I was clipping everyone's claws today and got too close to the quick on two of Jessie's back toes. This is the first time this has ever happened. Jessie didn't seem too upset, but *I* was! The clipper "kit" I had came with a little bag of styptic powder to I used that even though there was...

It's been a while since I posted and Da Boyz are about grown up now! Jessie: http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Jessie22/ Sammy: http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Sammy34/ Ozzy: http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Ozzy2/ Archer: http://www.possibleplaces.com/catnipped/Archer2/

It's been a little over a week and Sammy has lost 2.5 ounces with none of the other cats losing any weight. I think that almost eliminating the dry food (we're down to a third of a cup once a day for all 5 cats) has been the key. Next week I'm going to eliminate the dry food altogether and...

Sammy has now lost 15 ounces - just a few more and she'll be at her desired weight. She's more active too (I know how even a little bit of excess weight "weighs" me down, so I think she's just feeling springier). Jessie's lost 6 ounces and she too is now at her desired weight. Demi has stayed...

I don't know if you remember, but about 6 months ago I decided to switch my cats to an all canned food diet (they were on a canned food diet, but had some dry Science Diet to snack on). I was worried about struvite crystals in my boys (this is the first time I've had boy cats). This worked out...

I wrote here a while back about a problem I had with both my males *and* females spraying (in response to an intact tom I was trying to rehome). I've go the problem under control now (with liberal use of Nature's Miracle and other cleaning products). The problem is that the speaker (the bottom...

This is the new "toy" we got the clowder. No, they're not spoiled - much!!! ; http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Tree/ -- Hugs, CatNipped

Has Gabby had his snip yet? How has he been doing with the spontaneous attacks? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters he http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/

I am amazed by the courage of cats. We all know the story of Scarlet and how she continued to run back into a burning warehouse to rescue her kittens even through her ears were burned to nubs. But I am also in awe of the everyday, quiet courage displayed by the cats in our lives, like my...

We're still keeping the three new rescues separated from our resident three - and will be for a while yet. I got to thinking, though. We have not had our residing three vaccinated in the last 3 years since they are strictly indoor cats and have absolutely no contact with other cats and we...

I know it's probably just a reaction to getting his vaccinations last night, but I've never had a kitten *this* affected by it. Last night after getting home from the vet, both Ozzie and Archer went under the couch in DH's office and had (apparently) not moved as of 5:30AM this morning. When I...

We let Tayla out for a supervised visit with all the rest of the Crews' crew, but first we once again clipped all 18 claws on all 6 cats so that weapons were blunted for the confrontation. Of course there had to be an establishing of the pecking order. First Tayla challenged Sammy - there was...

God forbid I tell anyone else how/when/why to post - this *IS* UseNet. But I am *SO* sick of the juvenile bull**** always being posted here to the exclusion of any on-topic posts - and apparently I'm not the only one since a lot of long-time regulars seem to have given up and gone away (which...

Karen over in rpca was asking if anyone had a cat with chylothorax. I mentioned Abbey, but I don't know what she wanted to know specifically. Would you mind popping over there? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters he http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/

For those of you who were following Archer's progress with his broken leg, it appears he is back to normal and ready to take on the world (or at least his bro-fur). http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Wrestling/ -- Hugs,

After spending upwards of $4,000 at the vet in the last 3 months, I'd really, really like to solve this one myself (with your help). Sammy has been occasionally confronting Demi (our little scaredy cat) lately and will swat her when Demi crouches and yowls instead of running away. We keep...

I recently got the *perfect* little sofa for my sitting room - we found it at the Good Will store for only $80!! It's the perfect style and perfect color for the room (the color is a bit hard to see in these photos, but it exactly matches my wall...
