Ping Catnipped by
---MIKE---
Tiger seems all better except he still smells awful. He is making an
effort to clean his bum but it is a slow process. The first vet
appointment I could get is August 8th. Hopefully by then he will have
cleaned himself up!

Wellness batch variations LONG by
---MIKE---
After Thanksgiving I noticed that both Amber and Tiger seemed less
interested in their Wellness chicken (canned) food. Suddenly, on
Christmas morning they ate with gusto. It was a new batch. The cans
with the code "MW10" on the bottom were the good ones. The cans with
the "7WCCS4" code they...

Where did he hide it? by
---MIKE---
I have two small felt mice that Tiger likes to bat around. Suddenly
yesterday, one was missing. I searched everywhere (almost) - on my
hands and knees with a flashlight. I looked under both sofas and
everywhere else where he could have batted it but no luck. Suddenly
today, it was sitting on...

Amber lost another fang by
---MIKE---
Amber lost a fang about ten years ago. Today she lost the other one. I
will call the vet tomorrow but she is too old for a dental (17 1/2). She
eats mostly wet food and when she gets dry treats, she probably swallows
them whole anyway.

A bath from Tiger by
---MIKE---
Just before I got up this morning, Tiger jumped up on my bed and settled
next to my pillow. I rested my head on him and he started to lick my
head. This continued for several minutes. He must have thought my head
was dirty!

Mat removal by
---MIKE---
Tiger had developed a big mat on his chest. While I was giving him his
morning brushing with the Zoom Groom, I grabbed the electric clippers
and removed the mat. He didn't fight me at all.

No more chicken by
---MIKE---
When I shop I usually pick up a chicken breast at the deli counter.
This has to stop. Amber has taken a liking to it. If I give her as
much as I give Tiger, she doesn't eat her supper. I have ordered some
Taurine powder to add to her canned food but I still want her to eat her
cat food. No more...

Purrs for Leroy by
---MIKE---
A friend's older cat Leroy has stopped eating and is acting like Amber
did. She can't get a vet appointment until Tuesday.
He is 17 years old and his teeth are bad. Purrs are needed for his
recovery.

Strange eating habits by
---MIKE---
Last evening both Amber and Tiger didn't seem interested in their food.
They eventually ate some but I had to throw some away. This morning
they both scarfed up the food and I had to open a second can which is
mostly gone. This was a different batch of Wellness chicken but I don't
know if this...

OT They ruined "Fifth Grader" by
---MIKE---
I used to enjoy "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" They changed the
format this season and ruined the program. Guests now have to start
with the 1st grade questions and the cheats are only "copy" and "peek".
The "save" has been eliminated. In addition, the new batch of fifth
grade kids are...

Tiger is mostly cleaned up by

At least he doesn't smell any more (or I'm getting used to it). I think
I will cancel the vet appointment (Aug 8th) as long as he stays clean.

Amber has me confused by

Last night (Thursday) Amber wouldn't go to her dish for supper (neither
would Tiger). Eventually she ate a little and Tiger ate quite a bit but
I still had to throw away a lot of food. I figured that I would give
Amber another pill if she didn't eat her breakfast. Surprise - she ate
a reasonably...

How very true! by
---MIKE---
A gnome is in the garden busily destroying some bushes when a house cat
appears. "What are you?" asks the cat.
"A gnome," comes the reply. "I steal food from humans, I kill their
plants, I make annoying music at night to drive them crazy, and I love
mischief. And what, may I ask, are you?"

During the winter Tiger developed a number of bad mats (he is long
haired). Combing and brushing didn't work. Yesterday I got out my old
electric hair trimmer and plugged it in near my usual seat. Tiger
frequently zonks out next to me so I figured I could surprise him while
sleeping. To my...
