I have a very odd problem. When I am in the living room, Miya thinks it's okay to play around the Christmas tree and chew the bows and ribbon on the presents. I have tried removing her from the tree, I have tried holding her, even tried scolding her (although I admit I am a push-over meow-my)...

Okay, Miya is my baby. She follows me everywhere, will sometimes sleep with me and always waits for me to come home. Just recently, after 8 months, she is slowly starting to become a little more independent and hang out with my mother and father without me supervising her. I am going back...

I got back to the US on Thursday (Edit: I was away for a month in Japan finishing up some things and I had to leave Miya with my parents because she was screaming all the way to the airport--didn't want to fly back with me). I went to pick up Miya, but while I was holding her, she let out a...

I want to get Miya's teeth checked, but when she went to the vet in the US, she wouldn't let the vet in her mouth. I am concerned about her teeth because her gums are kind of red (but she doesn't seem to be in any sort of pain) and she is missing one of her small bottom front teeth (it's been...

Well, I am moving back home to the US permanently, as I said on another thread. I decided to move in with the family for several reasons, both beneficial to my parents and me and the kitty. Before she met her, my mother was adament about having a cat in HER home. After a big argument, she...

Long story short, I am finalizing some things here in Japan before permanently moving back to the US. I had to leave Miya at home in the US because she was crying and hysterical about getting on the plane (even on tranquilizers). My parents and sister are taking care of her, but she is really...

Of course I mean all in fun, but what are some things you do to your kitty that, if he or she were human would say "oh NO! This is totally embarrassing!" 1. Miya's got a big belly! I take her paws and make her rub her belly. She is completely mellow, but I am sure she would tell me how...

Okay, the other day I was in the tub minding my own business when guess who comes along? Well, Miya always stays in the bathroom when I am taking my bath. Sometimes she will peek over the edge and touch the water a little with her paw. The other day, she did something that surprised me: she...

How many nicknames do you have for your cat(s)? Do they respond to any of those nicknames? Here are the nicknames I have for Miya: -Mookie -Mookie-moo -Moo-moo -Mima -Meow Meow -Sweet sweet -Cat And oddly enough, she responds to all of them, but more often to Miya, Mookie and moo-moo than...

I like kissin' my cat, but the strange (or maybe not so strange?) thing is that she likes giving me "good morning" kisses when I wake up and "hello" kisses after I come home from work--liking me on the lips. Anybody else's cat do the same?

Here are some pics of my little princess at her "best" times. haha http://public.fotki.com/TokyoRose/li..._miya_the_cat/

Is their such a thing as a cat being too affectionate and docile? I have a feeling Miya is a little too attached to me.

THis may be a silly question but I will ask anyway. I am going to be traveling home with my cat in December. I purchased a Sherpa soft-sided travel bag so she will be comfortable during the trip. I will be medicating her for her nerves and safety. I would like to know how I can give her...

Miya has always had a problem with a runny nose. Today her nose seemed a little dry and crusty. I picked the crust off as usual and a small part of her nose started to bleed. Her nose seems a bit leathery, not moist. What should I do to help stop this?

Here is Miss. Ma'am. Can you guess who runs things in my home? There it is! The look that gets her the world. She was being naughty earlier. My baby and her favorite toy. It used to be a bird.

I'm not too sure if this post belongs here, but as my time in Japan comes to a close, I have to think about moving back to the US. My parents said that I could stay with them for a few months until I got my own place and after much debate, they have allowed me to bring Miya with me (there is NO...

I am relatively new to the cat world. Miya has been with me since October 2004. I have never had a problem with her...and I think this is my problem. For example... -Miya knows where she can scratch and where she can't after I "taught" her where was okay (she will only scratch the rug in my...

Greetings from Japan! I am the mom/owner of a very cute, very intelligent 10 month-old Calico kitten. I adopted her in October. I have always loved cats, but I have never had the pleasure of having one in my home until now. I am hoping to get a lot of pointers on how to care for her and be...
