Levi finally stuck. The name, that is. I thought I would give y'all an update on him since you really helped me through a very stressful time waiting for him to pass that thing. Levi, who was hand raised (until he ate the nipple) also had an eye infection and a URI when we first got him. They...

Well just as Cybercat predicted, I have a nearly full grown cat attached to my face a lot of the time. As cute as he is (and he's the cutest cat EVER), I've been cutting him back on his suckling time recently. I guess tonight he decided he was going to get his lip no matter what. I was...

My mother's indoor, very skittish 9 month old kitten accidentally got out yesterday and is still missing. She and I are both sick with worry. It's cold and rainy here today and she's a very small, very skittish cat. My mother has called all the local vets and kennels and put up signs, walked...

I just came across this article on Feline Pine's website and am going to stop flushing my kitty poop, even though I'm nowhere near California. If Toxoplasmosis harms Sea Otters, I would guess it's a problem for other water critters. http://www.naturesearth.com/specialalert.html Dear Cat...

Levi has become a complete velcro kitty. He follows me everywhere. He is always running beside, in front of, or behind me when I move through the house. He is super jealous when I give attention to the other beasts and jumps right in for his fair share of my affection, without fail. He also...

Somehow you ended up in my killfile. I just realized it today when Cybercat quoted you. I can assure you it was accidental(!!), but wanted to let you know in case I haven't responded to any posts you have made to me recently. I better watch my itchy trigger finger on that killfile button. ...

It looks like Rudy, my 3 year old cat, has contracted FHV from Levi. I suppose it was inevitable since Rudy and Levi are so close and frequently groom each other, but after going so long without catching it I was hopeful that he wouldn't. He's not happy about the eye ointment. After the first...

Just as Cybercat predicted, I now have a 10 lb cat hanging off my face (suckling). Levi went to the vet today and weighed in at this healthy weight. I was shocked! He's slim and trim but very solid (except for the belly pouch). Still no explanation for his frequent bouts of rapid breathing...

Rudy can open doors. Until yesterday, only doors that were unlocked. I was in my office and walked to the kitchen to get some coffee. The back door was open. The previously locked backed door. I went out onto the deck to find my dog trying to pick Rudy up by the scruff, and pushing him...

Right now I am sitting in bed with a dog snoring on my right, Levi cuddled on my tummy, and Rudy laying across my legs. They love to share body heat. Heaven! -- Lynne

Levi has a somewhat odd (to me) new behavior. He's digging. Everywhere! He's not using his claws, just digging away. It's cute, but I'm wondering what is motivating him. He does it on the bed, on the carpet, on the glass door, and maybe other places. This started happening just before he...

Levi ("the kitten who ate the latex nipple" and "the kitten who might have FHV") saw the vet today. The vet agrees that Levi has herpes. He didn't think it was a big deal and said L-Lysine will help "if I want to do that." I'm not entirely thrilled with this vet and am going to switch (lots of...

I see quite a few people posting about feeding their cats Fancy Feast. Is this a quality food? I was always under the impression that Purina wasn't the best, however if I can pay $.40 a can as opposed to $.68 a bag (for Nutro wet), that'd be a plus!

Levi continues to crack me up with his antics on a regular basis. One thing he has been doing that never fails to amuse me is his grooming routine. He does a great job considering he never had a mother to show him how, but when he gets to his back legs, I'm pretty sure nothing really gets...

I just posted some photos of Levi he http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/Beasts He's growing in a beautiful cat! And he *still* suckles on my lips. :) -- Lynne "Every once in a while, the tables are turned and we get to share our lives

Levi can now jump on the kitchen counters... I feel like a yo-yo, constantly going into the kitchen to pull him off and tell him "no" (which apparently means nothing to him). At least Rudy has the good sense to only do it when he knows I won't catch him... -- Lynne

In case your spam filter ate my email, I sent you 2 messages. -- Lynne

Levi made his first kill last night. He took down a large (adult?) roll of paper towels! THE CARNAGE WAS EVERYWHERE!! I wish I had taken a picture, darnit. -- Lynne http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/

Rudy screamed tonight in another room when I was doing dishes. I asked my daughter to check on him and she said he was yowling at Levi. But he did it again and I dropped what I was doing and ran to him. Poor thing had his own claw hooked through his chin and couldn't get it out. He was...

My news server is screwed up lately, very unreliable. Anyone have any good ones they recommend? -- Lynne
