My cats have severe hunger issues. Every day (if I am there), around 3PM, Kjartan (the fat one), starts yowling for food non-stop. Normal dinner time is 6PM. He is incredibly pushy and aggressive, not to mention annoying. At most I can get a minute or two of respite by menacing him with the...
I have 32lbs of cat (divided unequally between two cats), the label on my bag o' cat food (Royal Canin Urinary SO) says, by nearest approximation (since the bag doesn't go up to 32#, or even up to the weight of the big'un), that I should be feeding my cats 3 cups of food a day. I feed them both...
Zeno (kitten, 8 mos old) has developed a habit of chewing off the shoelaces of shoes. What are some good things to do to stop this? We want to wear our shoes around here, and that requires them having shoelaces.
A strange kitty has just broken into my house, by busting in a window screen. He ran into my room, where and I have closed the doors to my room to keep the other cats out. Can someone tell me how to get him to be calm enough that I can get him into a cat carrier and to the shelter? He is sitting...
I don't know where else to ask this, so I am going to ask it here. I have to put my Lofdi down in a couple of days, due to FIP. This is the second cat (in a row) I have lost to this disease, so I would like to fight back any way I can. My question is, is there any researchers anywhere that...
What is your opinion on the new colors that were submitted to the FIFe NFO breed council this year? I was just reading about them several places, and found them very interesting.
Five feet high and rising.
Oshkosh flooded this morning (not too bad) alot of streets in town were flooded out and apparently several hundred basments are flooded out. And now there is another line of thunderstorms headed our way and we are under another Flood Warning! Pray nobody gets hurt...

Exhibit B: An alarm clock, approx 8" and a mere 14oz or so. Located atop my headboard.
Unfortunately for any hope I might have of getting up on time on the morrow, exhibit A is flopped thoroughly atop exhibit B...
I can already tell it is going to be a very lazy summer around this house. It only got up into the 70's and already the furchildren are laying around like lions in the African sun.
Lofdi (the Kamikaze Commando Kitten) took a tumble off of the cat tree tonight and when I went to pick him up later he yowled and scrambled off. When I got him again he had a big lump in his chest so I called the e-vet right away. The x-rays showed that not only did he have a fractured rib (just...
I am writing this (or trying to write, what with a kitten tangled up in the mouse cable, off to buy some no chew spray next) at K + 2:55 (2 hours 55 minutes after kitten arrival). It has been one of the busiest three hours of my life. Timeline follows:
K -4 Feed Kjartan (1yo NFO neuter approx...
I currently have one Wegie (Kjartan) who is almost one year old, the doctor has ordered a special diet for him (sort of: light cat food mixed with regular, not becasue he is overweight but because he gets diarrhea from super high protein and fat foods). On Saturday, however, I go to pick up my...
I had to hitch a ride into class today (with my roomate), 'cause mi carro no va. And the physics professor proceeds to do an example problem just very much like one we had on our homework (yes, very much like a whale), and as soon as he gets halfway through it: Duh! I did the homework problem...
My kitty, bless his little heart, has an issue with defacation site selection. That is he poops inappropriately. But not just outside the litter box. There are two places in the house he will poop: in a litter box (wherever it may be), and in my roomate's room. Denied access to Josh's (my...
I finally got pictures from the breeder of the current litter of kittens I get one from as a replacement for the little girl that died of FIP last fall Anyhow here is the little guy I will be getting.
