My husband has always had pet allergies. When he was a child, new puppy sent him to the ER with a terrible asthma attack. He had immune therapy, but continued to react to dogs and cats.
When I married him, he told me pets would never be in our future, unless they came up with a new medicine...
We recently adopted a wonderful Balinese kitty, He is 6 years old. Very affectionate boy, he often belly flops suddenly and looks at us and sort of chirrups. He does like chest rubs (no belly please)...but was wondering, is there any meaning that sudden flops have? Like the questionmark...
Burning Feliway in the hallway (2nd bottle - dear Lord it's expensive!). My free cat has cost me 500 so far...LOL...Free? I think not.
I tried parmasean cheese as a topper so far...NOPE. Tuna...NOPE, Costco Rotisserie Chicken?...NOPE (it didn't go to waste tho...mmmmmm). I have never seen such...
Hi Draco,
Sorry to hear about your Uncle's health issues. Diabetes can do terrible things to our blood vessels. The good news is he is in the hospital and they will help your Uncle get better and start taking better care of himself. Poor guy, this was probably quite a wake up call. Still, it is...
Hi 2rescuekitties,
Thanks for the compliment on Jazzy. He is training me to dote on him very well.
That hiding game gets so old! Hahaha glad that Toby settled in and has made himself at home.
Thanks for the confidence. I am so lucky to have him in our lives.
I was told to limit his intake to 295 calories daily (calculated at 17 lbs - 1st vet visit). I am feeding the Costco Cat Maintenence at a rounded 1/2 cup (probably 3/4 cup). I tried to transition him to wet food, but he stopped eating it. I have since bought nutro pate and with a little water...
Hi Danteshuman,
Dante is ADORABLE! HAHA, love the cape picture.
Sounds like a very similar little personality to Dante.
My cat on a cat tree...I bought him two. Little Lord Jazzy-britches will not climb the towers. If I place his majesty up high, he jumps down. He is a troll/basement/floor...
Hi Furballsmom,
Yay, I look forward to the edit feature. My punctuation it terrible, I go back through posts and wince.
Thank you for the encouragement. he is a sweet and endearing little guy. Well, I am ridiculously biased.
This is him this morning...hope that youtube will play. He is...
Hi Helenww,
Thank you. I think Jazzy loves humans very much, and that helps him bridge his skittish nature. Poor love, sounds like your long haired kitty was not on board with brushing at all.
Jazzy submits to brushing with reproachful stares, comb and brush biting and angry tail flicks...
Rubysmama,
Thanks a BUNCH for the articles! It could be...I wish I knew what was going on and what he has been through. When the former owners came, they clearly felt they could not provide what Jazzy needed. Jazzy did have mats (I have combed out and had the vet help me with one I could not...
Hi Hlee,
Thank you! Jazzy likes classical, I think :) He seems to relax when I play it for him. That's a great tip. We tend to not watch TV and it's a house that is echo-y. Tall ceilings and a central open stairwell causes weird downstairs noises. I am sure it's not helping. Thanks for the...
