Welcome, Diana, from Louisiana, USA. It will be interesting to hear about cat-ventures from Italy. Do your cats eat pasta? Mine eat good old Cajun food. I have two, right now, but would love to have a Bengal like Tiki (look at posts of pictures of her on this board, she is spectacular!) My...

So sorry to hear of your loss. The loss of a pet is a heart wrenching experience- the price we pay for loving. My deepest symnpathy.

Any of your 7 had a catnip hangover, yet? One of mine, gone now, would get these hangovers, kind of a crosseyed dazed look that would last for several hours. My current two won't even look at catnip- what a shame, cuz I love to watch the antics of cats on a catnip high!

Guess I also need to tell you that our "head cat" Matu, isn't quite sure he is a cat,either. When our black lab went into labor ( in our bedroom, no less ) Matu stayed by her side for the 10 hours she labored to produce her 9 puppies. He did not leave the room- not to eat, or potty, or...

Amanda- May God be with you and your family including your cats. Please keep in touch A new thread would be wonderful so you are easy to find

When Sam, a german shepard mix dog came to live with us as a stray, he was very young and my head cat took it upon himself to "teach him the ropes" So, Sam is not fully aware of the fact that he is a dog and has many cat-like characterisics. He hops and plays, and gratefully allows my Matu to...

Lets compare cat size. My Matu is a trim 8 pounds at 15 yrs old. But Chew at 8 years weighs in at 21 pounds. He really doesn't eat much, but he doesn't do much either. I did see him walk after a lizard the other day. He had to rest up the remainder of the day after that strenuous activity...

I am happy to see that I am not the only one who indulges my cats fancies for people food. I also have a food snatcher- Matu has been known to steal an entire barbequed chicken breast from my plate and go high tailing it down the hall with the dogs in hot pursuit. The dogs wait patiently until...

Matu and Chew really would prefer it if my husband and I would sleep somewhere besides our own bed so they could just have the whole thing! Of course I hate to move them over- wouldn't want to disturb their sleep or anything. If they are parked on the blanket, I just get up and get another...

Although I make sure my cats have proper nutrition cat food, they still have some favorite "people food" treats. My orange tabby, 21 pounds, has developed a taste for ice cream, the only people food he likes. Matu, however, insists on barbequed meat and a lick or two of mayonaise! How about...

Yes, Bodlover, people in America do eat pork brains- and other organ meats that I don't even like to think about. My husband is cajun, and typically, will eat almost anything- just make a gravy and cook it up. Not me, though, I am solid German descent and prefer things I can recognize! Just...

I am a brand new member and I would like to tell you about one of my cats- Matu (ma-too) that is cajun french for tom cat. Matu adopted us nearly 14 years ago. We had 3 females at the time, and he quite shortly took care of all of them and i 60 days we had 12 beautuful kittens flying around...
