The CAT room!

Help!! She's running around being real squirrelly this morning!! She gets this manical look on her face and has that famous excess "cat energy"!

Get outa there fast, Reyn!

hehe, She runs up and down the stairs, into our bedroom, up on the unmade bed (which she knows isn't allowed), has this gleem in her eyes (like, hahaha!), does a "dance" on the sheets, jumps off, and back down stairs! All this in a matter of a minute or so. Then, repeat....

The little devil! What amazing entertainment, Reyn! You've gotta laugh!

Definitely! The younger male, Kory, doesn't get up to that kind of high excitement. He just looks at Kira with that wide-eyed, "What the heck is up?"

Just hope she's not his role model! Double trouble!


Fun hearing of these feline hi jinks, Reyn.
It's late so off to bed with MY lumpkin, who will no doubt try to sleep on my head again!

Night night!

Hello!!! My cat fell off the roof yesterday...bit stupid...she was on my shoulder and thought she had somehow gained this amazing new skill of being able to jump over a propagator onto a roof at a distance of approximately 1.2m...She fell off, rolled onto the ground and her back legs collapsed, she was looking up at me as if to say "I am ssssooooo stupid, what do I do now?!" AAAARRRRRR!!! She's OK now, just was a bit shocked and embarassed....She's 18 years old in a couple of months!!!!

that must have been a worrying moment - glad she was ok.

We seem to have gained a visiting cat who'd like to move in, it's a greyer tabby than Rosie with white paws and I think tummy. I'm not sure if he's a stray or not - looks a bit thin and I think is a boy, I think I saw ?him spraying the bushes the other day, wants to come in and himself feels sorry for him and has fed him he's not going to disappear now!

We'll have to find out if he has a home and if he has can chase him off and stop feeding him with a clear conscience (Rosie hates him) and if not, take him to the RSPCA for rehoming. We can't be a 3 cat family!

and now with only 8 lives left :-)

Mr. Intrepid, seeing that this is the "animal" forum, I absolutely must ask this important question!

What the heck are those white thingys buzzing around your avatar's head? Flies?

Enquiring minds want to know!

White things? What white things? I don't see any white things! Do you see any white things?

Oh, silly me! It was just lint on my glasses! Boy, do I feel embarrassed now.... :wink:

I have a friend at work who has 3 cats. She's devastated because one of them got out, lo and behold, she's pregnant. My friend can't afford to have the shots and the kitties aborted, then the cat spayed so she's going to have kittens {I adore kittens} ... I want to see them, but then again ..................

If I were living in a house, I wouldn't hesitate, but as you all know the main motivation for Rae moving to her own place was because this condo. association decided to push the "one pet" rule per condo.

I can dream..............

Note to dancingnancy:

One of our cats at work was awarded the name dancingnancy, by a remarkable coincidence. A name, of course, carries a promotion from homeless feral to Yard Cat, with all the rights and privileges attaching thereto.

Hope you're not upset. Nan is acting like a new cat.

I would have sent this by pm, but doubt you have the seniority to reply, which would be supremely frustrating.

Uh, Nan is also expecting, by the way.

Misti - stay away from that friend's house until she's found homes for those kittens!

Spring is in the air and I just KNOW (because I live in the country) that a new generation of kittens will soon be born and they'll find their way into my back yard.

Last year, I assumed that the adorable kittens playing in my yard belonged to the neighbor and that he would take care of them. That false assumption has caused me tremendous heartache and a summer of scraping dead cats off the highway.

It wasn't until fall, after I became extremely attached to one of those kittens (LOVERBOY) and my honey found him dead on the highway, that we took action to save the remaining two kittens that could be found.

This summer, I'm not assuming anything. I have my kitty cage ready. I have a plan of action. If I find any kittens wandering the neighborhood or playing in my yard, I'm confiscating them and finding them homes.

Last evening was beautiful. I went into my back yard and was checking to see if the April showers had spurred anything in our flower beds to sprout, and I felt an urge to call out to the strays. "Here kitty, kitty." The beautiful kitten that we rescued last fall (LoverBoy's sister) jumped into the window and meowed at me through the screen.

She's so beautiful. She's so sweet. She's mommy's girl. I'm so glad that's she's part of our family now. I still think about LoverBoy, and I miss him terribly. I failed him and he died. I don't intend to make that horrendous mistake ever again.

Debra Law, thank you for your compassionate caring ways and taking care of our little feline friends who can't take care of themselves.

Vivien, you are so right to be concerned, and since I'm only going to check out the new babies as I've never seen newborn kitties, you can rest assured.

I think they have to be 6 weeks old before you can take them from momma? Is that right?

Debra

I hope the time doesn't come when you dread the arrival of spring!

It sounds like a bit of a feline birth control information blitz in your area wouldn'y do any harm!

oh dear ...... alarm bells this is the stage where you first fall for these vulnerable little balls of fluff - forgetting the autocratic, awkward, bossy little personalities they may develop! (not to mention the gorgeous, cuddly, affectionate .... ) Stay away!!!!!

When they are 2 weeks old think of Rosie as I first took her in (see I know you won't stay away ) - staggering to stand and wobbly on her feet, constantly falling on her nose.

Yes, 6 weeks+ is about right to leave their mum - but you are not allowed one - no matter how gorgeous!

Good luck Debra
