Our 11 month old Mimi is very timid around strangers and strange environments, but very affectionate at home with us.
About a week ago we brought her to visit our neighbor's bunny in the early evening. The bunny is bigger than Mimi. This was about the third time Mimi has visited the bunny...
Here in China, some people believe that a woman should not live with a cat starting from two years before the woman is pregnant, until after the baby is past infancy. They believe cats have worms/parasites or something like that, that will adversely affect the baby. I don't really believe...
I feed Mimi twice a day. She usually eats for about 5-10 minutes, then stops, and then about 20 minutes later, if food is still left, she will come back and eat more. (The second time, she eats about a third of what she ate the first time.)
My question is, should I put away the leftovers...
Yes, she was spayed about a month ago. It almost killed her (long thread about it in the health section), but she fully recovered, thanks to the help I got from this forum.
Thanks for all the replies. Wow, I've been positively reinforcing her behavior! So starting tomorrow morning, I'll leave her outside and try REALLY hard to ignore her crying. She should win an Oscar or something, because her crying is SO pathetic-sounding!

As suggested by our vet, we apply a few drops of "ear cleaner" in her ears every now and then (she hates it!). We also bathe her about once a week with pet shampoo, and we recently started spraying the house with...
Thanks for all the comments. Mimi is definitely back to her old self, including nibbling at my toes when I'm sleeping (But I don't mind!) Her appetite is back with a vengeance
Her incision is dry. I'm looking foward to taking out those ugly-looking black threads.
We got her a little...
She's behaving pretty much normally now: eating, drinking, playing, etc. Wonderful!
I've arranged for a medical student friend to come over 7 days after the spay operation to remove her stitches. A while back, he removed the stitches from my neighbor's bunny when he was neutered, and it only...
