It all depends on the personalities of the cats. I have 2 brothers that have been living together for 5 years. One is very social, a maker of friends everywhere he goes, almost without fear: neighbors, their pets, and so on. The other is a 'fraidy cat. He only tolerates the other because they...

I'm babysitting the cats while M'lady's gone for her annual pilgrimage home to visit kids. mom, etc. The 2 cats have been bugging me to death for the attention they would normally get from 2 people. If they weren't such sweetly mannered sudden death killers, I'd get fed up with them. They are...

"Hey, Doodle Bug/Tubaroo, whatcha doin'?" As if they'd tell me. Dood just lays down at my feet and rolls his stomach up, while Tub just falls over sideways where ever he's at, rolling his chest and stomach up, both requesting handson attention.

More differences between our cats - Dood will walk up to either of us in the house or yard, then stands on one of our feet. Not sure why, ... contact, trying to hold us in place, or ...? He does not like to sit on one's lap. He'll stay as long as he's scratched, but shoots off as soon as you...

I can't offer much help. But, you're brother and father are ignorant, misinformed idiots. That is a fairly common affliction in today's world. I am in my late 70's. My galfriend is in her early 70's. We are both in exceptionally good health. We have two 5 year old cats. In my life I've had...

Yeah, they're doing well. Doodle is of Siamese ancestory. He is very vocal, talks to me incessantly by meowing all the time. He also has a Siamese yowl, almost, not as bad as a real one though. Tubby is much quieter, never heard him meow, ever. And, apparently he's just a generic cat of some...

It's been a really long time since I've been by here. And right now, I feel like talking about cats. So, here I am. Tub and Dood are 4-1/2 to 5 years old now, adults, no longer young cats/kittens. They are both indoor/outdoor cats. The house is always open. They come and go as they please...

It has been over a year since the eruption and volcanic gasses ended here. Our vegetation has almost recovered and life has pretty much returned to normal here in Paradise, almost. When I first brought our cats back home from the evacuation they were surprised and ecstatic at being returned...

Hi danteshuman, Both cats wore flea collars at all times. They showed no signs of fleas whenever inspected for them. Doodle had thinning hair on his head in front of his ears from scratching, but no other signs. I interpreted that as an ear mite infestation. This all began when we moved them to...

Time for another update,. maybe the last one. The cats are completely recovered from their trauma from the eruption, or at least seem to be. They now act as if they own us, not the other way around. Doodle just doodles around as if nothing was ever wrong in his life. Nothing seems to phase him...

Time for another update. Didn't call the vet. Our subdivision is restricted to residents only with a check point at the highway junction. Getting her in would have required a two-step-shuffle to get done. Plus, her home had been invaded and vandalized after the evacuation of her area. Then, it...

About timer for an update. On Sept. 9th they lifted the mandatory evacuation order. The cats and I immediately moved back home, no power, no phone, and no i-net. They were ecstatic, so glad to be home again. 8 days later we got our electrical power restored. Didn't make much difference to the...

Yeah, things have been a bit un-normal. We began letting the cats outdoors a week or two ago. They're happier than pigs in mud. There was supposed to be a feral cat in the area. It has not shown itself since seeing it on day 1. We have some "REAL' jungle right behind the house here. They love...

Then boys are adjusting, very nicely I might add. Tubby still spends a lot of time sleeping under the sofa during the day. Doodle spends most of the day laying in front of the front and back screen doors looking out. But, doesn't make a mad dash for the opening when either of us goes out the...

More to the heart of the problem are the number of abandoned pets in the area. The county came through spreading alarm telling lies and giving misleading information trying to get people to evacuate the threatened areas. I have seen cats and dogs sitting at driveway entrances waiting for someone...
