Happy birthday Amber by ---MIKE---
Amber was 14 years old yesterday. She is a bit lame (but Cosequin seems to help) but she eats well and seems happy. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580')

Cats and hummingbirds by ---MIKE---
I have a tall cat tree with a platform on the top. It's about two feet from a window. Outside the window are two large hummingbird feeders. The hummers are swarming around the feeders. Tiger seems to have no interest in watching them (Amber is not able to get up there). Wouldn't you think he...

Tiger knows it's chicken night by ---MIKE---
I shop one day a week (stores are 20 miles away). I usually buy a fried chicken breast. Tiger knows that when I have been shopping, he will be getting some chicken breast when I eat supper. He won't touch his regular dish until after he gets his chicken. Amber is not interested. ...

Update on Amber by ---MIKE---
She is doing just fine without the fangs. Her breath, which was a little "dicey" before, is now better - almost sweet. She is eating well and there is no swelling. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580')

TIGER by ---MIKE---
The best way to describe Tiger is "a feisty love bug". He loves to sit on my lap and get nose touches and head-top kisses. He likes to get on the lower level of the cat tree and be brushed with the Zoom Groom. BUT if I bump him with my leg while walking, he spits. He also likes to get in front...

OT Lots of hummingbirds by ---MIKE---
After a summer of low activity, all of a sudden there are hummingbirds all over the feeders. At times they are swarming around one of the feeders. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580')

Amber's purr by ---MIKE---
Amber almost never purrs. She usually spends the night on my bed and when I wake up in the morning, comes close enough to get pettins. When I am ready to get up I bend over and kiss the top of her head and tell her I have to get up. THEN she purrs. That's the only time. She is going to be 18...

It wasn't Tiger by ---MIKE---
Yesterday, a little after 7 PM, I felt a mild shaking of the sofa. At first I thought Tiger was sitting behind me scratching his head. But no, he was asleep on the floor. It was an earthquake - centered about 100 miles east of here. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44�...

Amber surprised me by ---MIKE---
Amber has a step stool next to my bed so she can get up there easily. This morning she got off the bed and then decided she wanted to get back up. She was at the other end from the stool. For a minute, she stood there and I told her "you can't jump up". Then SHE DID - with no apparent...

Slightly OT - ANTS by ---MIKE---
Yesterday I had a slew of ants crawling around in the house. I picked up two boxes of Raid "Double Control Ant Baits" and placed them around the house. To keep the cats from playing with them I secured them with "U-Glue". Today, the ants are mostly gone. The cats seemed to take no notice of...

Matted Longhaired Cat, Advice Please by ---MIKE---
Tiger developed a lot of bad mats this summer. I have an old hair trimmer that I have been using on him He seems to welcome the efforts. He actually purrs while I am doing it (one mat at a time). I'm sure a professional grooming trimmer would work better but these cost over $100. The other...

Silent purring by ---MIKE---
When Tiger purrs there is no sound. If he is on my lap and I am stroking his throat (which he loves) I can feel the throb. Also, when he purrs he breathes at double his normal rate so I can see it. Other than that there is no indication. Strange! ---MIKE--- In the White...

Tiger back to the vet by ---MIKE---
I took Tiger to the vet this morning. His litter box activity has been erratic (leaving a small clump in one box and then going to the other box and producing nothing). There were no crystals so he is being treated with an antibiotic (shot today and again on Friday and Monday). He did not seem to...

Amber's appetite by ---MIKE---
The last week or so, Amber has not been eating very much. When I was at the vets with Tiger I asked him if there was anything I could give ti Amber to spike her appetite. He gave me some Cyproheptadine pills with the suggestion to give her 1/2 a pill once a day. Not wishing to "pill" her, I...

Undate on Cinnamon by ---MIKE---
You might ask the vet to try some cyproheptadine. This worked wonders for Amber. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580')

Amber has a double! by ---MIKE---
I was in the pet shop today to get some food. There was a cage with five rescue kittens. One looked exactly like Amber. Orange fur, white nose. white cheeks, white chin, white vest, white tummy and four white paws. I was almost tempted to take it home but I'm sure Amber would not take it...

Tiger's weight by ---MIKE---
I was folding laundry in the bedroom and Tiger came in to "help". I put the empty laundry basket on the floor and of course Tiger jumped right in. I then put the basket plus Tiger on the digital scale. It read 24.5 pounds. After Tiger got out I weighed the basket - 1.5 pounds. So Tiger weighs...

It must be the weather by ---MIKE---
I usually feed Amber and Tiger about 6 AM. This morning they barely tasted the food. The house was still hot and humid from yesterday's heat. I have been running a window fan to change the air. About 7:30 Amber decided she wanted to eat and then Tiger showed an interest too. Actually, Amber ate...

Mixing in the Fancy Feast by ---MIKE---
Hopitus wrote: PING MIKE IN NH what do you think about giving old Amber a little Fancy Feast when she is off her feed? Or is the thought of "junk food" too abhorrent to you? Just a notion from reading this thread.....

I'm adding Taurine by ---MIKE---
I received the Taurine I ordered from Vitaglo. It's Now Foods pure Taurine powder. Noone could tell me how much to add so I am starting with 1/8 teaspoon to one 6 oz can of Wellness turkey. The cats haven't noticed that I added anything to their food. I am doing this because Amber doesn't eat a...
