Since I have gotten my cats I have clipped their claws. I do it more for my tender cuttable flesh then for the carpet and the couch. But recently I have noticed that a couple of their claws have grown in thick and dull. They are no longer slender and stiletto like, but almost well thick is the...
Well, as I was petting Mischief I found a little flat thin worm coming out of her. *shudder* Well, from all the descriptions it looks to be a tapeworm. I read the previous thread on tapeworms, and she will be promptly taken to the vet, but I want to ask a few questions to perhaps avoid some...
Just wondering if anyone else has used this product and what their experience with it has been. I recently saw it at PetCo and I thought it would be good to try since I can't get my one cat to eat soft cat food. It says that it is full of vitamins and minerals and reduces hairballs. Most of the...
I'm worried.
I have a lot on my mind as is. Graduation is Thursday and Friday. Parents are coming in tomorrow. But these are all fun things. These are all things I get to revel in.
But then...then there is always something, isn't there.
I grew up practically with three grandmas, my grandma...
Isis has long strands of hair by her eyes which almost gives her the impression of having eyelashes. While this is endearing they tend to fall out, and much like eyelashes fall into her eyes. Right now I pulled two from the edge of her eye as it looked like dried discharge, but I can see it was...
Little Isis is making it hard to clean the litter. She has this habit of when she hears me cleaning the litter to bound (she never runs, she bounds like a rabbit) to the litter box and then circle it over and over. I like that, its funny. But then she feels the need to use it even in the midst...
Not me personally, but perhaps some board magic would be good.
For those of you who pray, meditate, etc. please keep one of my co-workers in your thoughts. He's been missing since Tuesday and no one has a clue what happened to him. He had his truck repossessed so him driving away is a little...
Everyone speaking about kittens and needing to rescue brings back memories of before my roommate decided to buy Isis. He was very intent on getting a Mau but was reminded of all the kittens that needed to be saved which set us on our search.
Being that it was March the humane socities and such...
Mischief has always been a 'talker'. She cries very regularly, purrs infrequently, and makes a variety of noises as if she just wants people to know she's around.
Recently tho her level of crying has increased dramatically, and its tone has changed. It's lower and more throaty then normal. I...
so...I haven't slept yet...not quite done with what I need to do by noon so I do have seven and a half more hours but I am losing focus as the brain is fighting against the body's will. haven't done this in a long time, any suggestions? ideas to keep awake and alert?
Tonight as I was driving home I saw something bounding across the road, but it just didn't look like a squirrel so I slowed up. And low and behold it was a very very very cute kitten! I so wanted to jump out and hold the little one, but when I approached it ran off in the area of the office...
Isis has proven yet again that anything that goes in our mouthes is certainly not unworthy for her to eat. My roommate, her owner, was snacking on peanuts, and one dropped to the kitchen floor. At first she played with it, so my roommate just let her be. Thought it was being cute. Then she ate...
I need some warm thoughts and good vibes. heh. I'm graduating next week from college and I need to get everything done by Thursday in order to graduate. I just need to concentrate which is hard with a fourteen week old kitten in the apartment with her big gooseberry green eyes and her...
I don't think that as long as I live I will ever forget Butch. Butch was my cousins' cat, but a part of me always felt like he was mine. I was very close to them in those days and I went with them to the Humane Society to pick up a kitten. As my cousins played with the other kittens I spotted...
We've had a break through!
Our newest member of the cat family, Isis, has been with us for a little over a month now. At first her transition with us was rocky. My cats - Niko and Mischief - would constantly hiss at her. Then, slowly, Mischief began liking her and playing with her. But the best...
I was just petting Mischief when I noticed that I felt a small bump on the right side of her neck, a little low from the ear. Checking the other side, I didn't notice the same thing. She continued laying on my lap purring contently while I felt at this bump, I was trying to see if it was below...
Ok, I'm addicted. Isis loves chicken sooo much that now when she gets little pieces she purrs like an engine and it is too cute. Buuut, I am not dumb and I don't want to cause problems for Isis down the line like having a very plump adult Isis. Anyone have recommendations on kitten food that...
My furbaby is sick, and I am nervous. Money is so tight right now so I don't know when I will be able to afford to take her to the vet. Taking Isis to the vet was an unexpected visit, and I am a little besides myself.
Since yesterday Niko has thrown up five times. All five has been cat food. It...
