    Cats and bleach scent

    Our newest feline companion, taken in as a stray just after Christmas, is all-white "Jacques." Whenever I have been cleaning with bleach, and have the scent lingering on my hands, he goes crazy! He flops over, closes his eyes, licks my hand (and won't let go)- gently bites my fingers, and...

    Happy Ending

    An update on the two white stray boys we found just after Christmas-(one had jumped into my husband's mail truck). They are now neutered, tested negative for FIV and FLV, have their shots, and are getting along famously with our other 8 cats! The short- haired boy is "Jacques," and the...

    Advice needed/feline herpes, ear goop

    We have a wonderful cat who has been plagued with feline herpes since kittenhood. He came from a barn up the road from us, and literally crawled up the road to the field across the street from our house when he was tiny. Well, he is between 2 and 3 now, has always been scrawny, chronic...

    Bengals and Savannahs, other pure-breds: What are they like?

    Those of you with experience with Bengals and Savannahs-- what are they like to live with? What special needs do they have compared to "regular" cats? How do they generally get along with other cats and dogs? I have read that they can be predatory towards other cats. I have owned DSH moggies...
