    Geisha cries every night (pics of my babies)

    Sorry, I know this is not the place to post pictures, but I am missing my beloved Sumo so much right now. I am bawling as I write this. It struck me today (on Christmas) that Geisha cries because she is looking for Sumo. She has always been a silent cat, up until Sumo passed on, and although...

    Kuri's picture (finally!)

    Hi.. I just wanted to share a photo of Kuri, our baby boy (ok, he's now 8 months, but he still needs a lot of attention and he sucks his thumb - I mean tail, ha ha). I love how his eyes look so expressive here.

    Knitting fun :)

    Hi to all the other knitters! I'm a beginner and I am ashamed to say I have started four scarves and have not finished a single one yet! (Still trying to get the hang of adding in a second skein! If anyone has books/web links to recommend, I'd appreciate it.) Anyhoo, I saw this blog and...

    Chewing on his own tail

    My kitten Kuri has a strange habit of biting and chewing on his tail till it's soaked through. I have never seen my other kitties do this! Is he bored or is there something wrong - has anyone experienced this? Just for some background - he's a full-time indoor cat, does not have fleas, I've...

    Questions about grooming, sniffing each other's bottoms

    I have two questions, for anyone who might have the answers: 1) What does it mean when one cat grooms the other, but Cat #2 doesn't also groom Cat #1? For example, my 1-1/2 year old Geisha grooms our 6-month old kitten Kuri, but Kuri doesn't groom Geisha. Also, previously, our kitty Sumo...

    How are other kitties coping with the loss?

    Our precious Sumo passed away in August. It has been 2-1/2 months. I got another kitten three weeks after Sumo passed, at the advice of my husband who is currently stationed overseas (we're a military family), and Kuri (kitten) and Geisha (1-1/2 years old) seem to be getting along well. They...

    Does your cat's breath smell bad?

    I know this may sound weird, but I am wondering if anyone else's cat has really bad breath? My kitten Kuri has very stinky fishy breath. (He only eats Nutro dry food.) Last Monday, the vet said he did not have worms, and he recommended the Nutro adult food (same as Geisha's) because he was...

    Cutest thing your cat does?!

    I have several things! 1. My kitten Kuri likes to sleep draped across my neck. He literally stretches out like Superman. 2. Kuri also makes whiney noises of displeasure (not meows, actual whines) when I have to get out of bed if he is sleeping on or with me. 3. If I'm sitting at the...

    Workout preference - Gym or at Home?

    If you work out, what do you prefer - going to the gym or home workouts? And what do you do - pilates, yoga, aerobics, weight machines, treadmill, etc.? - and how often? I gave up my gym membership last year and have been working out on and off by running around my neighborhood and also...

    Game - *Writing Roulette*

    My 8th grade teacher used to have us play this game called "Writing Roulette" on rainy days. The way you do it is one person starts writing, she calls "Time" and you would pass your paper to the next person and at the end, we'd read our stories out loud and be shocked and amazed at where they...

    Why are some names in bold?

    Hi, just a quick question about the "Currently Active Users" section under the "What's Going On?" heading - What does it mean when some members' IDs are bolded? e.g., out of 20 members who are currently online, sometimes 5 people's names are in bold. Why? Thanks in advance for the answer!

    Licking my nose and lips while I sleep

    Does anyone else's kitty lick their nose and/or lips while they are sleeping?? Our little kitty Kuri (he's six months old) sometimes sleeps with me, and in the middle of the night or early in the early, he likes to stick his face right in mine and either lick my nose/mouth or try to smell my...

    Anyone have a piercing?

    I got my navel pierced in July! (I'm in my early 30s and this is the first and only "crazy" thing I've ever done and plan to do - no more piercings or tattoos, etc.!) I'm such a chicken that I haven't even told my folks about it, ha ha! My husband has yet to see it (he's stationed overseas), but...

    Concern about worms in my kitten

    I'm trying not to jump to conclusions, but after doing some online research, I think my kitten Kuri may have worms, possibly hookworms. I checked his feces (actually diarrhea) today and found one long stringy thing in the litter, an extremely thin 2-inch long white threadlike string. We got...

    Helpful Tips (wisdom from moms, friends, etc.)

    I thought it would be nice to start a thread with some helpful tips. For example, I have had an ant problem since August, and I just wanted to let folks know that sprinkling Johnson & Johnson's baby power around the perimeter of a room really prevents ants from coming out of their crevices...

    Sumo, I am missing you

    I don't know where to start. I wasn't going to write about Sumo at all, but tonight, like so many nights, I can't sleep because I am crying and I miss him so much. My husband is in the Army and before he went overseas, we got Sumo and Geisha, two black-and-white kitties. We got Sumo originally...

    Eating problem with cat

    I am feeding my kitten Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lover's Soul right now and he seems to like it, but he is always crying for "people food." He ends up eating the kibble because I now completely ignore him when I make dinner (I feed the kitties first, of course, but I made the mistake of giving...
