A common interest
Frank and Mere haven't been getting along very well, but today they
discovered a common interest: they both love tinned maize. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...53762289aZSZRS Apparently hostilities can be postponed when there is something yummy to eat. You can even share the same plate. -- Marina, Frank and Mere.

You have the KEY!!!!!! Man, if they will eat that close together at any
point, they are doing pretty good. I bet if you gave them a little of that everyday it would go a long ways. Mere is SO tiny! "Marina" wrote in message ...

I think I'll try that. Usually, Frank just goes away when Mere tries to approach him, but now he was so interested in the maize, he even shoved her out of the way to get at them. I called the cats-only vet the other day and asked them at what age they spay cats, and they said they'd do it when she was six months or 2.5 kilograms, whichever comes first. All the other vets I've asked won't do it until the cat is eight months old, but I'd like to have it done before we go out to the island. I don't think I have anything to worry about, since Kira didn't go into heat until she was eleven months old, but just to be on the safe side. So now I feel I have to fatten Mere up for the operation. Maize should be quite a good filler. There was an article on the webpage of this cats-only vet saying carbohydrates fatten cats up, and maize contains some carbs (not lots, though). -- Marina, Frank and Mere.

There are worse things to have since she is such a picky eater. |

You can even share the same plate. Now thats just *weird*. Not one but *two* cats eating corn!. Still, its a good sign that they may become friends at some point. I don't hold any hope for IBKFergus and Shmogg, they ignore each other except for he odd bap durignthe day, but when we go to bed, we have to shut the bedroom door now, so the caterwailing, growling and the crashing of things htey've smashed whilst fighting aren't quite so loud. Its always just after we've gone to bed, and lasts for about an hour. After that, perhaps they call a truce for the rest of the night, and htey are always working in cahoots to wake me up for breakfast so they can't hate each other *that* much, but it happens *every* night.

The recommended age to spay cats is 4-6 months of age, before their
first heat. Personally I think 8 months is too long to wait, because then they definitely will have had their first estrus and already have had the hormones flowing. Weight shouldn't matter too much if the doctor knows what they are doing in terms of anesthesia. The animal just needs to be up to date on vaccines and be healthy enough to withstand an anesthetic procedure. When they are that small, it just means you have to monitor the anesthesia more carefully. But whatever you decide, the bottom line is that she gets spayed And good to hear that she and Frank are getting along a little better. Does she try to chase/wrestle with Frank? Kristi |

In the US, yes, but here in Finland, vets tend to recommend it later. As I said, Mere's mother didn't go into heat until she was eleven months I've heard that some purebreds mature sexually later than moggies. That might be the case. -- Victor M.
