Introduction continues.. success and not.. behavior questions by Brian Link
Well, the new kitty's been getting very agitated being kept in one room all the time, so I've been closing off the current cats and letting him wander. This makes the current cats agitated. After a few days of letting them sniff each other through partially open/blocked doors, I decided to take...

Louis will be speaking soon by Brian Link
Well, he's so happy since Henry left. He's becoming much more affectionate and goofy. Today, he ran out into the living room sideways, with his ropey tail all bushy, and plopped down onto his back. He layed there for a a bit and sang a new song: "Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wowee" He's about as...

Does your cat watch TV? (Cats looking at pictures) by Brian Link
All my cats have reacted differently to the TV. Some ignore it, others, like Tiger, seem to be fascinated by it. He'll bat at things moving across the screen, and get riveted if there's an animal there. Is this just personal preference on the part of different individuals? Or is there possibly...

Phil P. - give us newbies your story by Brian Link
Good god man - you seem like the quintessential Usenet Kook/paraplegic/schizophrenic/mom's basement dweller. Some of us don't have time to follow the gazillions of posts in anger you've submitted (God forbid.. we're just looking up how to help cats) - so as a favor to recent browsers, could you...

How much to feed our cats by Brian Link
Over the last couple months we transitioned to premium wet cat food (Wellness) for Louis the Bengal - 3 yrs old and Tiger the Maine-Coonish Moggie - 11 yrs old (we still can't quite peg how old he is exactly). The initial suggestion was to split a 5.5 ounce can into two daily servings, but the...

Bengals: High Maintenance, High Rewards by Brian Link
I just felt compelled to write about how much I love our little Bengal, Louis Scratchmo Armstrong. He is a handful. He requires a ton of playtime, is neurotic, and has a howl that would make a siamese tuck its tail in shame. I was down the block, and heard his yowl echoing off of all the...

Blue-eyed cats = poor vision? by Brian Link
I can't recall where I heard this, but I'm wondering if it's an urban myth. Our new adoptee, Chloe, has blue eyes, and seems to have poor vision. She can see well enough to get around, but doesn't track things very well, and sometimes misjudges distance. Do blue-eyed cats have poor vision? BLink

What do YOU do with strays in your neighborhood? by Brian Link
There's a un-fixed tom wandering our neighborhood that gets our cats all whipped up. I've watched him for a few weeks and he's always run away. Tonight though it's pretty cold here, and we saw him when we pulled into our driveway. He meowed and came right up to be petted. My guess is that he's...

Cat Cruelty - sorry, using rpchb as a support group again... by Brian Link
Well, now I know why my son's always been indifferent towards cats. A couple days ago, he told my wife about a time he was visiting her folks in rural Indiana as a toddler. A cousin showed him a kitten and got him really interested in it. Then he tossed it to a pair of dogs that killed it. That...

Foaming at the mouth, vomiting by Brian Link
My son's visiting his girlfriend in LA. Last night I got a panicked call from him - his girlfriend's (12-yr old, spayed, immunized, indoor) cat had foam around her mouth, and was scrambling around the house vomiting (mostly unproductive dry-heaves). The cat is otherwise healthy. My son is 16, and...

Tiger Conjunctivitis: Are cats allergic to humans? by Brian Link
In what has arisen as a supreme irony, it turns out that Tiger may be allergic to my son's visiting girlfriend, who in turn is allergic to Louis. The vet asked what had changed in Tiger's environment before the outbreak of conjunctivitis. All I could offer at the time is that the weather had...

Introduction Status Report by Brian Link
Okay, I know I'm prattling - but this is therapy for me because of how stressful this dang process is. Luckily there are killfiles.. =) Anyway, Henry (new cat) has developed an irritating habit of waking up around 4AM to play. In our room. Which is closed. It's just like having a baby. So he gets...

Update on stray adoption. I think it's time to let Henry go by Brian Link
I guess I'm hoping someone will talk me out of it.. It's been almost three months now, and given the chance, Henry tears off after our little bengal, Louis. Louis is pretty beat up after the last attack, where they ended up under a bed and it took us a few moments to separate. What options do I...

Fat cat with a dirty butt.. suggestions.. by Brian Link
Henry's really taken to indoor life. Given our recent harsh spell of Minnesota winter, I figure we've already saved his life. He's the typical long-hair mutt with strong Maine Coon/Norway Cat indications - the same coloring, ear tufts, huge mane and footpad tufts. Since he's been adopted, he's...

Meghan.. give me a call.. still a problem cat in St. Paul (was: cat introduction) by Brian Link
Hi Meghan. You phoned me earlier this Fall to offer help with Henry, our adopted cat. I sent a post to this group under a pseudonym so I'm not sure you knew who I was. Short story: Henry was adopted in August as a sick, bedraggled stray. Sequestered for several weeks, we began the slow...

Followup: Household returning to normal by Brian Link
Louis has spontaneously stopped spraying. He and Tiger lounge downstairs in the sunlight, where before they'd spent their days cloistered upstairs. They chase each other around the house like maniacs. I haven't seen Louis' skinny tail all poofy like this in months. Louis has started finding all...

Tiger has a wonderful tail by Brian Link
I was in the kitchen for a cigarette break and Tiger came up from the basement to visit me. He was hunkered down, sniffing the floor, and then I called him. His tail shot up like a big balloon and he came over to "cheek" my leg. His tail is like a mardi-gras costume. It's like he's trying to...

Is it wrong to want another purebred? by Brian Link
Going through old photos today, and came across a directory filled with pics from when we were thinking about buying a Bengal (which we did, and he's wonderful). Most are from this site: http://www.tibcs.com/petcorner/photos.php After having been through an ordeal with a stray, and knowing...

I would encourage any of you who drink to do so with your cats. As outlined in this newsgroup, I drink quarts of beer with my cats, and we all appreciate it. BLink
