Ok I got this cool toy at Wal-Mart(it is a cheaper & smaller version of ones sold at Petco and PetSmart)for the bargain price of $11.20. Your cat can smack,swat,stop and touch the "captive" ball as it travels along around the perimeter of the toy but she/he can`t pull it out of the toy. Anyways...

My friends have taken to calling me a "hat wh..."(ouch!) because I have developed a love of the classic fedoras from the past.I recently purchased a vintage 1960`s Resistol stingy brim fedora in NEW/UNWORN condition from a cool vintage clothing site online($60.00)and LOVE it! Anybody else out...

Hey everbody! Hope you have all been well and healthy! Just wanted to share some pics of Alley(the alley cat!) in her (pretty much)full grown state.We are doing fine and Alley has grown up to be my spoiled lil girl.Even though she is my first ever feline I feel like I`m kind of an experienced...

My parents got me(and Alley) and really nice "cat condo" climbing cat furniture for Christmas! This thing is cool and stands like 74"high with several platforms,two circular 'hideouts' and the legs are built in scratching posts. Alley took a while to start using it but now she sleeps and...

Forgive these questions but I honestly would like to hear from all my fellow catsiters.How old is/are your cat(s)? How large(or small) are they?I`ve read or been told that an average cat`s life span is around 15-20 yrs.My ex-landlord had a DLH that lived to 22 yrs old! I`m just kind of curious...

Been about a month? since Alley had her last series of vaccines and had her tubes tied.Something else that is great...no more fleas! We were able to break the cycle completely in just 4 months of Rx flea control on a 100% inside cat. Her coat is super shiney and soft now(and 2.5x larger).She...

Sounds weird but I read in some cat book (published in the UK) that cats seem to have a penchant for our dirty laundry;often sleeping in the hamper. Of course I rolled my eyes at this one. But guess who`s been sleeping in the dirty clothes basket in my house? Maybe it is true then? Is it that...

One of the few times I honestly wished I would have had my digicam in the restroom. Alley is diligent at keeping me company in the morning...even when I ...well,you know,in the bathroom.To her it`s just another place we are together. The lil stinker jumped into my pants and underware while they...

This started out as a little side thing she would do but it has now become a full-on morning routine for her.I have to turn on the bathtub faucet for Alley until a thin,steady stream of water is running down into the tub`s drain.Originally I think she liked the noises it made.Now she sticks her...

Alley (the alley cat) has been doing the newborn kitten thing on a semi-regular basis of late.She will lay on my lap and take a part of my t-shirt in her mouth and suckle it like a kitten.She also does the claw action i.e. "bread kneeding" as she sucks on the shirt.It is both charming and cute...

My kitten played me lightweight. Lil stinker! I pulled what I call the old NorCal FakeOut on her. I went through all the motions of making and mixing her usual meal but instead of dumping the old food(it was still very fresh) I just stirred it and and gave it back to her. She had no problem...

My vet kind of left it up to me whether to get this vaccine for Alley or not.She says if there is any chance of Alley going outdoors at all I should get it for her.What would you do? I`ll probably opt for it just in case another cat breaks into my house? Rumors of a cat burgler in the...

The vet said Alley will most likely be(is) a Domestic Medium Haired cat. Ok,I know long hair and short hair. How about posting some pics of what these legendary DMH`s look like when they are grown? It would just be kind of interesting for me to get a preview of Dame Alley with grownup`s pelt...

Probably the only genuine downer to owning a cat(s) but still beats dog doody duty anytime! Does anybody else have a dear sweet kitty that plays and frolics in front of you as clean out her royal litterbox? Do I look like a beach comber here?? Be gone,impish rake! Cats are a trip.

I`m not sure if my kitten is normal or not. She seems to purrrr all the time! She purrs so much I`m worried that (here it comes!)... ...she could be a purr-vert! No? It sounded hysterical when I told it to the kitty.

Sorry,very punny. Alley just loves to chase me then hide(usually in the empty bathtub or between the shower curtains) until I make a big show of "finding" her. Then It is my turn to make an exagerated get away while she follows. All I have to do is do the fake sneak or mimic kitten paws in the...

My parents are the coolest! They told me to take Alley in for her medical needs and they would call it an early b-day present for me(August 27th)! The Vet was pleased with her overall look and demeanor(curious,animated,etc.)and assigned her an age of 12 wks.She got the respiratory virus vaccine...

I`ve had my little alley cat,Alley,for over a month now and she is doing GREAT! Thanks to all the members on here that gave me such wonderful advice,tips and encouragement!I guess I`m doing something right;Alley is active,alert,playful(god!),has a good appetite,no health problems and seems to...

Is anybody familiar with Howard Phillips Lovecraft fiction? One of America`s earliest(and still best!) horror and cosmic fiction authors. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe were contemporaries. Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy...

My father really jogged my tired old memory cells earlier today on the phone."Your little kitty looks just like that black stray we brought back with us from Kansas!" Is this how alzheimers begins? God,I dearly hope not! My first and almost my best Cat Experience was in the 70`s when I was...
