It seems to me I read somewhere that flat faced breeds like persians tended to have more difficulty picking up certain shapes/sizes.

I think mine is also 1.75 on a short hair - I got it for $10 or $15 and it was well worth it for getting hair out but it is a messy process.

This thread has sure grown. I read a couple of articles against microchipping that stated it could cause a type of cancer. I like the idea of a tatto as a visible thing. Hmm.

Thanks guys, suprised its 100%! I just figured it would not be so common what with it not being visible to the average person. I'll give the vet a call tomorrow and see about it.

I had not really considered doing this before as my little one is not a door darter and after all, most people in my neighborhood would not check him for ID anyway. (He wears a collar - at least when he is not busy taking it off for me). That's how I ended up with him actually - abandoned...

Once a day, scrub and fresh litter every other week.

Yes, he loves to play with some of the household items and has Da Bird, laser, Cat dancer. I just love to spoil my cat so always think he needs more.

After many unsuccessful toys, I brought home a small success - Kong catnip badger. It is so successful I am already thinking I might want to get a backup cause he has never liked anything else so much. Do you suppose it is the actual shape (in this case, the tail is easy to grip)?

Thanks for the suggestions! I had not considered that "human" scales came in smaller increments than 1 lb. (Not sure I want to know my own weight in that much detail - eek!) I definitely liked the price of the Eat Smart one though! The Zieis looks nice too. I hadn't really expected he would...

I want to start tracking weight but as I look at the baby scales I find it hard to imagine him even *fitting* in the bucket type ones let alone staying in them. And some of the "flat" ones don't seem to get good reviews. Those of you who track, what scale did you buy? TIA

I'd stay away from ham: A quick google search of an ASPCA chat meantions bacon so I would think would be same. http://www.aspca.org/online-communit...nscript-2.aspx The same goes for bacon, where fat content is concerned―and foods that are high in salt could cause excessive urination...

LOL you have a great point!

I like the idea of containing the ball! That's why I had not previously bought one - I was leery of having cat food crumbs all over the house - not that he would hesitate to eat them! What do you clean the floor with, knowing the cat will be licking that spot?

give him less at one serving and another serving later?

On vets advice I changed food bowls and have been washing his face, but I am disappointed to note it does not seem to have improved (and its been a few weeks). Vet assured me it was a mild case, so I expected it to clear up a little more successfully. Is there something else I can try or...
