argh, here we go again....
Right around US Thanksgiving every year, Buck seems to get it into her
head that it's time to do something that looks like a heat cycle. Trilling, yowling (though not *that* loud), "presenting," rolling around on the floor and pulling herself along her back by her front claws, all that stuff. (No spraying, though, and I couldn't be more thankful for that.) From late November through February or March, she'll do this for a week or two at a time, knock it off for a few weeks, and start back up again. The first time she did this, I had had her for about a month, and she wasn't yet spayed. She went through it on-and-off until I had her spayed in early February, and that was it for the season. But then she started up again late the following November, and she just started it a couple days ago for the first time this season. (Grizzly, on the other hand, is most likely Buck's littermate sister but has never done anything like this, and she was spayed at the same time as Buck.) I don't imagine there's much I can do about this, is there? Most of the time, it's just annoying, but sometimes Jimmer gets really stressed out by all the extra attention Buck gives him and starts hissing at her a lot and running away, so I feel bad for him. If anyone has any thoughts on this situation, I'd appreciate hearing them... thanks! On a completely unrelated note, I felt I just had to share some pictures I took yesterday of Jimmer and Grizzly snoozing together: http://web.mr-happy.com/~jfb/ablum/p...rizzly-08.html http://web.mr-happy.com/~jfb/ablum/p...rizzly-09.html http://web.mr-happy.com/~jfb/ablum/p...rizzly-10.html Jeff -- j if e-mail to the posting address | "Joel, I can't help but feel that that f bounces, look left and below. | film was flawed in certain ways." | --Crow |

Even a small amount could produce some hormones. |

They are SOOOOOoooo pretty. Have you spoken to your vet? I would be
concerned because sometimes tissue has gotten left in there. I sure would want to know their take on it. I'd love to hear what they say. Kakren "JB" wrote in message newspsilfrzv5y922lk@localhost...

Based on what some others mentioned about possibly having hormonal
leftovers, I wonder if a blood test would show hormone levels and if so, would birth control pills for kitties exist and/or help? Hope you can figure something out. Otherwise, I loooove those photos of yours, particularly the major eartuftiness in the first one! Christine "JB" wrote in message newspsilfrzv5y922lk@localhost...

Hope you can figure something out. Otherwise, I loooove those photos of yours, particularly the major eartuftiness in the first one! There are birth control pills for cats, but AIUI, they shouldn't be used long-term, since they can cause - something or other. Cancer of the uterus? Don't remember. Jeff's problem (or should I say Buck's problem) does sound like a partially unsuccessful spay. I'm sorry, I don't have any advice to give. The pictures were lovely.
