The Furminator by
jmcquown[_2_]
Nope, I'm not spamming and I don't get paid for this. But I really like
this cat grooming tool.
Buffy is a moggie, an American Short Hair. Short hair? Sure. But she
has a very thick, heavy coat. She sheds constantly. Pet her, run your
hand across her back, fur comes wafting off. ...

Yowling! by
jmcquown[_2_]
It must have been around 4AM, I was awakened by Buffy yowling her head
off in the living room.
Chances are she spotted a raccoon on the patio. The first time I heard
her yowl like that it scared me. This time I was mostly annoyed because
I was sleeping really well for a change. Buffy, it's...

Spicey requests your attention by
Takayuki
Spicey was in a particularly playful mood, and was hopping and scrabbling
and chasing the other cats. Dot and Buster scurried out of the way as
Spicey pounced at them and did a little jig.
All of a sudden, I felt claws digging into my calf. "OW!!!" I said in
surprise and pain. I turned to see...

Sunshine by
jmcquown[_2_]
Do all cats love puddles of sunshine? I've only ever been owned by two
cats. Both Persia (RB) and Buffy seem to follow the sun around.
The front of my house faces west. In the morning the sun shines in
through big glass windows at the back. Buffy loves to bask in a puddle
of sunshine in the...

Marlo licking off her hair by
dgk
I noticed Marlo was grooming a lot. She's pretty fat and has a lot of
places to groom, but I noticed that her belly was looking pretty pink,
as in not much hair. And the inside of her back legs are looking bare.
Obviously we need a trip to the vet.

Catnipped's new cat tree by
Karen AKA Kajikit
I can't find the thread again, so I'll have to post seperately... I
just watched the video of your furry friends exploring their new cat
tree. How cute! It looks like the boys are going to grow up to be VERY
big cats (either that or Jesse is remarkably small...) Looks like they
love that new tree!...

Cats! by
Joy[_3_]
Each cat, and each combination of cats, causes things to change. They
have changed things, both regarding treats and canned food.
For years I’ve been giving two kinds of treats. One kind is really just
Friskies, and the other is the real treats. Pickles and Waffles(RB)
figured out that the...

Surprise! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Yesterday Buffy had a case of the zoomies. Then it got really quiet I
went looking for her. I didn't see her in any of her usual snooze spots.
I went to use my "litter box". Buffy came leaping out from behind the
shower curtain. "Hi!" LOL
This is about the third time she's done this. I...

Play strategies by
Jack Campin
Then there was someone whose cat had claimed ownership of an orange wig.
I think the cat might've thought the wig was its baby (I can't remember
whether this was a male or female cat, but maybe it doesn't matter).
Anyway, this cat would drag the wig between its legs and walk bowlegged

Head Count, Please! by
jmcquown[_2_]
I know some of us have, sadly, lost a beloved furbaby or two. It's hard
for me to keep up with who is owned by whom.
It's easy enough to remember just one cat but when you have a clowder I
really can't keep up!
I'll start. I am owned by Buffy.
She's really an amazing cat. Before I adopted...

The natives are restless by
Joy[_3_]
Both of my cats are indoor-only, and usually don't seem to be bothered
by rain. However, today for some reason, they are very restless.
They've gotten into the habit of spending most of the day on my bed,
with Koala usually under the quilt on top. They may come out to ask for
treats when I'm...

Cat Treats by
Cheryl[_6_]
A vet suggested to me that I put food in those plastic balls with holes
in them so that my rather large cats would get some exercise. I'm not
sure that this was ever effective, since I put treats in them to
increase the cats' motivation, and the cats seemed to expect the treats
in addition to...

PINK?! by
jmcquown[_2_]
For some reason this morning Buffy is very vocal. When giving her
scritches I noticed her ears and her paw pads seem exceptionally
brighter pink. (She's an orange tabby.) She isn't usually this chatty,
either.
I just noticed this much brighter shade of pink. I've tried looking up
these...

And things change MORE by
The New Other Guy
GLyN has never cared about people food, until now.
For about a year, he has been happy to get a slice or 2
of roast beef lunch meat, when I was making a sandwich.
ONLY roast beef, not much of anything else.
But THIS week, he expressed a desire to have a piece of
roast pork. NOT lunch meat, but...

Claw Clipping Help by
jmcquown[_2_]
When I first adopted Buffy in June, 2015, she was very agreeable about
my clipping her front claws and even the dew-claws. I was absolutely
amazed. I thought, "Good! she's had this done before. Whew!"
After a couple of times though, she decided she does NOT want me to do that.
I *know* not...

I Frantically searched for Dot by
Takayuki
Dot disappeared on me today. When I got home from work, Buster and Spicey
greeted me, but Dot was nowhere in sight. This is not too unusual - she's
16 years old and naps a lot. But most evenings, I see her in the window
when I come home, since she watches for me, since she's deaf and can't hear
the...
