    Maybe part lion or tiger!

    When he was a baby you could tell he was a colorpoint. He was white except for ears and tail. His pupils are always round tho, whether expanded or contracted. And look here, at the facial proportions. I've got me one!

    Maybe part lion or tiger!

    Here is my little Scooter. He's a sealpoint kitty, about a year old. Look at his eyes. The pupils expand and contract appropriately with light but they are round, not slits. Everything I read says that domestic cats are ambush predators with slit pupils and the big cats are active foragers with...

    The life expectancy of a house cat

    My Bonnie is eighteen years old. She's in the early stages of kidney failure, which the vet said could be fast or slow. I'm not going to stress her out by giving her meds or food she doesn't like, because she also is arthritic and can't really see or hear. She's just reaching the end. I love her...

    Ringworm in 4 Month Old Kittens

    Thanx. Dermatologist still thinks impetigo on me. I do not want to give these kitties staph. The wipes should work on them either way. I hope we all get whatever this is cleared up ASAP.

    Lizard hunting

    Molly tried to eat one of the stripey ones just once. I cannot express how pleasant and charming it was to clean up.

    Lizard hunting

    Here's Jasper with the lizard he caught clinging to his paw in a futile attempt to delay the inevitable. It used to freak Molly out when they did that. She'd drop dead until we got the lizard off of her. But he was pretty matter-of-fact about it. Scooter, the rat trap kitten is back in the...

    Ringworm in 4 Month Old Kittens

    We took in a shelter cat 16 years ago who turned out to have a few spots of ringworm. Monistat cream 3x a day for 28 days and that was it. She slept in the bed with me and I showered every morning with Nizoral shampoo. No one else got it. Now however I find that the kitten I brought home from...

    Lizard hunting

    Then I guess the thing I thought I knew wasn't so. We used to call Molly "Lizardbane".

    Lizard hunting

    We did have an older neutered male who hunted and he may have taught Molly a thing or two. But he didn't know how to eat his kill. We would have to pull him away from field mice for fear he would choke on them.

    Lizard hunting

    We have a ton of lizards here in Florida and a lot of them have the poor judgment to come into the house. Or into the lanai, which is screened all the way around but they get in somehow. Once Molly brought a ringsnake in. She was so proud of herself, and kind of mad when I helped it back out the...

    Lizard hunting

    That's probably it! Yes, she ate them. You could hear crunching and slurping if you weren't quick enough to leave the room. I'd always heard that cats have to learn hunting behavior from their mothers. It surprised me when Molly turned out to be such an able hunter because she was left on a cat...

    Lizard hunting

    Fun unless you are the prey. My tortie used to catch lizards that came into the house or the screened lanai. She'd carry them through the living room to the laundry room and drop them in the litter box, watch them run around a little, then fish them out and bring them back into the living room...
