The CAT room!

Sally -- all caged up
oops . . . need to reload the pictures on the host website

KITTY COT? Oh, my lord.

will post new pics later . . .

edit

Is Sally in the cage just to litter train her?? Polly sure is a pretty cat. Love the long hair. Does she liked to be brushed? Tabitha look's like she could be a bit on the angry side. Some cat's just dont like the new commer's. They are all pretty.

My cat Morris a.k.a. Clarence because of his crossed eye's will be naughty for 3 reason's. We left him alone over nite. There are clothes on the floor & he will piddle on them. Or his litter box need's to be cleaned. He has never liked having clothes on the bathroom floor. Even if you are going to shower & pick them up..better make sure the door is closed or he will mark them.
He was quite sick in Dec. of last year. Not sleeping or eating. Not exactly sure what was wrong with him. I took him to the vet got med. for him had to put it in canned food to get him to eat it..now he BEG'S for canned food but he is 100% better & seem's to have more energy.

I still don't have any pictures of Cinder but here is a few new things he does.. He somehow taught himself how to play fetch ( I swear he thinks he is a dog).. he has a bunch of little furry toy mouses and I will throw it and he just keeps bringing it back to me and he just sits there until I throw it again!!!

He is also used to taking bathes now, not that he likes it or anything.. but he is being leash trained because we can't have an outdoor cat where I live, so we use the leash... So he goes into the pet store with me and acts like he owns the place... but once we get back home from going out he gets a bath... usually once a week...

Instead of trying to get out of the tub he just sits there and meows.. he usually tries to hop out once... but he hates being towel dried...

He has finally started eating dry food and drinking out of his bowl (he used to only drink off of a paper plate)..

He still has to be in the room with someone... he hates being alone....

My only problem with him so far is that he constantly bites (because my boyfriend lets him bite him all the time and encourages him to do this).. so now I will just be sitting on my couch and Cinder will come up to me and bite my wrists, ankles, toes, heels, fingers, elbows.. etc..
How do I stop him from doing this??

Also we have stopped letting him sleep with us because he will not sleep until 3 or 4 am... he will just pounce on us all night... so now I wake up in the morning to him meowing at my bedroom door and slamming his head against it!! After he slams his head about 5 or 6 times then he tries scratching the door... is that weird for him to slam his head against the door??

None of the pics posted on this page show up.

I don't mind because they probably would have just made me sneeze anyway.

A bit gloomy today: Poor old Flats is suffering from a recurrence of his snuffles. So up with the dosage of the medication. Poor baby.

Oh msolga, I hope Flats will feel better soon.

Paddy is laying here on top of my desk, his head hanging over, his paw touching the keyboard, sleeping.

Why are they so cute and hugable?

oh dear, poor Flatty, hope all is well soon

I got fed up with Paddy relentlessly walking over the keyboard (to make the point that he wants to go out) and so I let him out - he'll now be busy getting into bad company

Thanks, Misti. He's improved already with the increased dosage.

Why are they so cute & hugable, you ask?: To suck us into supporting them in the splendid manner they know they deserve! :wink: It's a plot, I tell you, Misti!

Hmmm - I have found that cats reared to become used to car travel - and accustomed to going many places with their owners - can adjust.

Kay Cottee took her cat with her on a solo voyage around the world (though sadly he was washed overboard during the voyage - )


I think you would want to start very young.

We had a lovely cat - raised by us on a bottle from a few days old - who frequently went for drives, and also for walks, with us. When she had kittens, the kittens naturally came too. I can recall us all filing into the local library to pick up books - my father, me, Candy, and four kittens in single file.

I have known cats who rode pillion on motor cycles.

You've known some strange cats, Deb!

Yes, he's stopped his insane sneezing, poor little thing!

A minute ago he was sitting on my lap, doing the claw thing on one of my knees (ouch! ) & accidentally hitting his head on the keyboard. So it's Flats whose responsible for the spelling mistakes, not me!

Diane. Do not worry, cats take to RVs like anything. We used to take Reebok and lucky on our vacation. Wed put out a big cage, leave it open and wedged under a table. Therein wed put water, food and some rugs. The litter box was put in the tub with the top vent open and they had the run of the place. No problems. Reebok used to love to travel. Hed find a window and sit and watch like it was tv.


Those of you considering purchasing a Maine Coon or Ragdoll, Ive been doing some resaerch with my vet and have found an increasing problem with these two breeds because theyve been backcrossed by unscrupulous "puppy mill" breeders. If they come from New England , there are strains of Coons and Ragdolls that suffer from hip Dysplasia (just like german shepherds) and theirs another congenital problem that makes me think our late Reebok was so afflicted. That congenital problem is cardiomyopathy.

I love Cats
They taste just like chicken.

< thinking & wondering: I wonder why folk feel the irresistible urge to throw in these sorts of comments into the cat thread? I don't think I see this on other animal threads? Strange ....>

Small minds?

If it wasn't for us, this thread would be boring!
