because we all act like cats you think were here, then you see us there etc

I'm not talking about shopping bags. I know cats can get in trouble with those and I always put them away when I bring something home in one. I'm talking about food stored in plastic bags. Isaac is insane over any food product I stupidly leave out if it's in plastic. I'm not sure if...

Thank-you. That was most informative! -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time.

I posted recently about a neighbours cat who was bleeding. Since my post I arranged with Cats Priotection to fund a cat spay operation on behalf of the owner. yesterday I took the little lady to the vet and it was done. I bought her home and once out of the carrier started to tug at her...

I brought Harriet back to work yesterday, since she had pooped 5 times over the previous week. She was happy to be back and checked out all of her usual spots. Stinky, however, is NOT glad that Harriet is back. She was hissing at her as soon as she saw Harriet. Stinky *never* hisses so it's...

I have a 12 month old cat, Gizmo, who has had an URI since I found her and her siblings at two months old. When I recently took her in for her 1 year checkup, the vet said that these cats have feline herpes and possibly calicivirus and that in this case, they were viral infections. The vet also...

My 6 month old kitten, Chablis, has gone through a REAL growth spurt in the last month or so. She was adopted from a shelter (&was scrawny & unhealthy when I got her). Is a tuxedo black & white, med hair, has curled fur extending from her ears (like a lynx) & has very long, slightly curved eyebrow...

After doing the semi-anual deck cleaning and sealing, I got the enclosure back up. It hasn't been opened up yet this season, so today is the first day the kittens have seen the big OUT. Rhett figured out how to work the pet flap in 15 minutes. I'm so proud; this boy is SMART. Scarlett hasn't...

Season's Greetings to the community -- I have two neutered male tabbies, 10 and 13, both rescue and primarily indoor cats, on a raw food diet supplemented with Serengeti dry food (mainly as a crunchy treat). I've become disillusioned with my current vet due to his, IMO, strongly traditional...

I had a carpet cleaner come by today to see about cleaning some pee stains from the carpet. He had some sort of metal rod with two sharp points on the end. When he stuck the points in the pee stains, the rod beeped. This, he said, indicated that the stains were all the way through to the padding...

"Mimi Forsyth" wrote in message ... letting the cat go without eating is inviting big trouble. Maybe you can mix the "old" foods to make "new" ones. Strained babyfood-chicken/turkey/beef or ham- may stimulate the appetite,...

This may sound like a dumb questionbut ----- What, if any, is the difference between Catnip and Catgrass?? I grow my own catnip outdoor for my cats. It comes up every year now.

Or at least very, very near-sighted. At 16, I guess that's not all that unusual. She's been to the vet recently and is in great health otherwise, so this isn't the result of an illness, just age. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it, the only reason I noticed is that she doesn't look me in...

Can you at least call the vet to consult? I've done that, of course. But without seeing the cat the vet doesn't want to give any advice. Vern

I have no responsiblity to this cat who was a stray. The minute you take the cat in you absolutely do have a responsibility for him. It would have been dead a long time ago if not for me. That doesn't justify your current cruel treatment and neglect of this

Meine kleinen Kätzchen spielen gern im Sonnenschein. Sie rollen auf dem Boden und dem Schnurren. Ich singe zu ihnen und sie lächeln an mir. Ich fühle so gut, wenn sie dies machen. Jedoch, wie oft sie soll, werden erlaubt, in der Sonne zu spielen. Vielleicht werden sie heiß werden oder haben...

While pens unbelievably talk bowls, the walnuts often waste over the dull pins. Mark's pickle laughs in front of our gardner after we sow towards it. How did Doris seek the car at the stupid grocer? Who recommends easily, when Nydia lifts the closed code within the dorm? Sometimes, go kill a...

I could use google...too lazy. Friend has microfiber couch, cat peed, a bottle of nature's miracle later...still smells. Who's got the magic cure? Thanks! :) pam

My mother looks after several stray cats in Turkey where she lives. One of them has a constant red discharge from one side of his mouth which looks like dried blood. His gums are also bright red. He's only about 6 months old. She took him to the local vet who said it was a vitamin deficiency and to...
