Gabrielle - Gabby, Gabbs, Gabberwocky, Gabbermins Tifa - Baby Tifa, Teef, Tubby Tifa (yes, she is a little chunky!)

I have had three different vets (over the years) recommend that my cats get a small amount of moist food every day - something to do with the water content and cats having evolved from desert origins. So I feed a quality dry food free choice and my kitties get a couple of teaspoons of the soft...

I'm not positive, but I though clomicalm and prozac are the same? It is good to know that Sandie knows of four cats that prozac has helped. Now the problem is getting the meds into her. Gabrielle is a very active cat and definitely not a lap cat. The first day I crushed the med in her soft...

Psychogenic alopecia is excessive grooming due to anxiety. It seems to have started late in the fall when the neighbour feral cats started coming up my hill to find warmth and shelter under my house. Gabrielle is definitely an alpha cat and would run from window to window getting quite upset...

I have a three year old spayed bengal, Gabrielle, that has psychogenic alopecia. She has been on medication for approximately a month. At first she seemed to be reducing the amount of excess grooming and hair pulling that she had been doing, but now she is worse than ever. The inside and...

Gabrielle - 3 year old brown spotted Bengal - spayed female Tifa - 2 1/2 year old tabby point siamese cross - spayed female (an orphaned feral I took in at around 3 weeks)

I thinks it's disgusting... And a $4 million dollar budget? Can you imagine how much good that could have done for animal rescues/shelters?

Besides the two cats, Gabrielle and Tifa, I have a Springer Spaniel called Mattie, and 5 guinea pigs - Cricket, Wookie, Snowball, Peekaboo and FeeBee. I want to get another cat or two, but right now Gabby is stressed out so that is on hold. I hope to get another dog in the future as well...

Tifa also likes to watch TV. She especially enjoys animal documentaries with lots of sounds!

What a great idea! And it teaches the kids a valuable lesson too. Good Luck!

I'll keep the possibility of fleas in mind, however they aren't really much of a problem up here because it gets far too cold. Tics are a bigger problem for animals that go outside and in the bush. I have tried to close off the curtains but Gabby is very persistant and manages to go behind...

Loco's tail is normally like that! Wow! It is nice to hear that others have kitties who fuzz up their tails. I had a orange tabby for 19 years and I never once saw her puff up her tail.

Just wondering if anyone else's cats do this. Whenever my Bengal, Gabby gets startled or is playing a serious game of hide and seek with her feline sister, she puffs her tail out. I have seen cats puff their hair up on their bodies if they feel threatened, but Gabby just does her tail. And it...

Thanks all for the warm welcomes. I have been enjoying reading the threads!

Whoa! I guess I should have mentioned that Gabrielle's little sister is not a Bengal. Actually, she is an orphaned feral siamese cross. She is much more laid back than Gabby, except whenever I have company. She does not trust any strangers so she runs and hides until they leave. Gabby on...

If I am remembering correctly, when I brought Gabrielle home the breeder told me that it was not unual for it to take a year for their coat colours to become permanent. I got Gabrielle's little sister, Tifa, when Gabby was almost seven months old. Gabby was more curious than anything and...

I posted in the behaviour forum about psychogenic alopecia. It sounds like my cat Gabrielle has exactly what Atticus has. The vet told me that sensitive or nervous cats can react to changes this way.. I was hoping that someone on the forum may have had some experience with this. Gabby is...

Hi Sonia! I talked with you a few months back on CG about your Bengal. I also have a Bengal cat. I have to admit that that say about curiousity killing the cat has to have been written about bengals. Gabrielle also had to check out a burning candle once. However she did so more slowly. She...

I am wondering if anyone has ever had any experience with this (excessive grooming to the point of removal of the hair and/or irritation of the skin). I just had Gabrielle in for her yearly checkup and she was diagnosed with this. I had noticed that she was grooming herself quite a lot lately...

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I have been lurking around this forum for a while and decided to join. I have a two and a half year old spayed Bengal female named Gabrielle and a two year old spayed Siamese cross named Tifa. Hope to learn and share a lot here.
