"Portrait" of Princess and Smidgin - just posted a photo of my painting by
MaryL
I have been taking oil painting lessons for 3 years. My idea when I started
was to have something special to look forward to when I reach retirement and
not become a "couch potato." I soon found that I love painting "right now."
I just finished my first attempt at painting cats. I looked through...

Bitins and ambushins by
Maria Teresa Chupacabra
My kitty is about eighteen months old. She's Siamese / Himalayan, came from
the shelter at about four months' of age.
She bites. Not just little nips, but puncture wounds sometimes. I don't
tease her, restrain her or pet her to distraction. She'll come to me, roll
her head over and butt it...

Recent Injury by
[email protected]
Our male indoor/outdoor, neutered cat came in yesterday evening with a
raw spot near his right armpit. He licks it quite a bit. No blood,
some plasma, looks like there are puncture marks from a plant, cactus?
(we're in Tucson AZ) These don't look like bite marks. It seems he is
making the puncture...

silly kitty.... by
Dennis Carr
Yes, silly. Though, the behavior on one is a bit worrisome.
Two of our girls, right? First subject - about a year old. She's
monogamous. That is to say, she will only allow one male cat to attempt
to mate with her.
And it just so happens that the cat she allows to couple with her...

Scraping floor next to water bowl. by
[email protected]
One of our two 9-month old kitties will quite often scrape the floor next
to the water bowl. This is almost a digging action, scraping away from the
bowl. My best guess is that this is some kind of instinctual action, like
digging for buried water, but I haven't heard of this kind of behavior...

Cat in a christmas tree by

http://www.ecowool.com/category/10/ but the cat we have now still walks

Drooling/cat nip? by
Teddy
My 2 1/2 yr. old long haired black kitty (Bear) started drooling the
other day so I took him to the vet who could find nothing wrong. After
I got home I wondered about the cat nip plant I had brought in that he
was helping me clean up. Could he be allergic to it or something? Last
week my big...

Neresse's trip to the vet by

So we took her to the vet. The oldest of our girls. Made mention of her
in a previous post, entitled "silly kitty".
For starters, keep in mind she's always been a small and slightly frail
cat.
The doctor confirmed dental trouble in the way of some gum disease to an
