Mommy opens the boys' bedroom door and two little orange blurs come rushing towards Mommy and begin to climb Mommy's pajama-ed legs. Archer and Ozzy (in chorus): "NAAOOOWWWW? Gushy food is NAAOOOWWWW?" Tayla (heard in background from the next room): "mee-ee? are you going to feed...

I took some video of the kittens chowing down and got some pictures of Tayla playing... http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/New_Arrivals2/ And just so she wouldn't feel left out, I took some video of Sammy cleaning herself... http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Sammy33/

Or rather phase 1.1 since phase 1.0 was to move Tayla from my office downstairs to the bedroom next door to the kittens upstairs. Now that everyone is feeling *MUCH* better after a week of medication (they still have 3 days to go), I figured I could begin the slow introduction. Our first goal...

Someone asked, in another post, if there was something to give for a cat's nasal congestion. My vet gave me what is, actually, eye drops but said they work well as nose drops for cats. Going by this one experience alone, I can say that their nasal congestion cleared up practically overnight...

OK, first the SH*T parts... I thought I was at the point where we could put the kittens in with Tayla full time since they've been in there loose for as long as an hour at a time. But yesterday, when they were playing with the stick with feathers, Archer ran into Tayla and she beat the crap...

KFW = Kitten Fever Warning - will make you go crazy and immediately want to go adopt 2 or more kittens! This one will probably take a good while to download (when do you decide to *STOP* recording to bitties playing and grooming - it was hard to press the "stop" button as long as Archer was...

The vet, last night, said she was still running a slight temperature and her breathing and heart rate were up. She lost an additional .20 pounds in just two day since the last vet visit (again, *WAY* too much for a cat to be losing), but she wasn't severely dehydrated as I feared she might be. ...

I guess, even having the advantage of having thumbs, I'm no longer needed! ; http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Treats.mpg -- Hugs, CatNipped

This is going to be a quick update since I just got home from work, then the vet's, and just finished dosing/scooping/feeding - it's 8PM and I haven't eaten since lunch (oh the joys of new slave-hood). Just as I thought, Tayla, Ozzy, and Archer all have URIs. Tayla's fecal was clear, but both...

I'm too tired to take video of her tonight, but you ought to see Tayla right now - she's got the "zoomies" and is flying around my office killing every toy and dust bunny in sight. I really think I'm right in that she's less than a year old (if she got thrown out of her home for getting...

As promised, here is the information that Purina sent to me on the nutritional values of Fancy Feast cat food. http://www.possibleplaces.com/Fancy_Feast_Values/ or here is the same data in and Excel spreadsheet http://www.possibleplaces.com/Fancy_Feast_Values/FancyFeastValues.xls I spent all...

I think everyone, including vets, make mistakes. The measure of a person, however, is how they handle the mistakes they make. As a lot of you know, Bandit was severely burned by a rice-filled heating bag when she got a dental cleaning last year. I didn't find the burn until a week later when her...

Meowy Kiss-a-mouse. Just wanted to let you know, DH, Ben, got a Fender G-DEC amp for his electric guitar for Kiss-a-mouse. Not the greatest in the world, but enough to make an amateur happy! (He also got an imaging telescope with an attached digital camera - apparently he was a very good boy...

I'm f*cking nuts!!!!! I went to PetsMart today and walked by the adoption center (Sunsmart). I saw a little 1-y-o white w/tabby markings female who had been abandoned, pregnant and just got finished nursing *SEVEN* kittens (she's no bigger than a kitten herself). I wasn't hooked until she looked...

OK, little momma is *SUCH* a slut - as soon as you sit down on the floor she *THROWS* herself on your lap and starts rolling around - she's *SO* not shy for just being brought to a new home. And here are also the two little teensies who are stampeding across the floor above my...

We're thinking about "Archer" and "Ozzy" for the boys and "Jade" for little mama but nothing's set in stone yet - we'll have to wait until they pick their own names before we'll know for sure. In the meantime suggestions on what to suggest to them are still very welcome. --

URI, that is. Um, think I should take them back to the shelter and get an exchange for the defective ones? ducking and running -- Hugs, CatNipped

OK, where do I start?! First, does anyone have Phil's email address so I can also email this to him - I know he gets busy during kitten season and doesn't always read the group? Phil, I just adopted 3 cats from a rescue organization that operates out of PetsMart - Sunsmart. Archer and Ozzy...

I've been owned by cats all my life and have never had this problem before now. The problem started when we rescued Hunter and he was kept in the upper three bedrooms, bathroom and hall (we installed a door at the end of the hall to keep him in and the other cats out). He was an intact tom for...
