I got my first cat several months ago, and she's my baby. I love her tons. And she is an affectionate cat in her own Lua way, she'll sit on my lap and purr and she's very sweet. No hissing or growling, and I can do whatever to her. But she never does some typical affectionate cat things that...

My cats' purrs match their personalities. Lua is very laidback and sweet. Her purr is quiet and kind of breathy. If she's really content, she'll sigh and purr-chirp. Bailey is my bouncing-off-the-walls kitten. Her purr is loud and rattling. I love when they both sit on my lap and purr together

Both of my girls are sitting in my lap right now (they make room, lol). I was scratching both of them profusely and telling them what good girls they are and how beautiful and wonderful and so on. They had that eyes rolling back squinty looks of bliss. I have to wonder though. Do they...

I'm glad you guys were as touched as I was P&R, my fiance is two months into his tour in Iraq. 10 more loooooong months to go.

My fiance is an Army officer currently deployed to Iraq. I have so much respect for those men and women and the job that they do. The things that they see, hear, do, and feel are completely beyond what most of us will ever experience. I thought this poem was a touching reflection on all of that...

I've had to give Lua antibiotics twice (once for a UTI and she got a mild internal infection after her spay surgery). Both times, the antibiotics were liquid droppers...I figured it would be a pain. I sat with her on the kitchen floor, let her smell the treat I had for her (a little chunk of...

Thanks for the replies! I assumed it was because of a good diet (I feed Natural Life wet food) and them being kittens. Lua, 6 months, has a longer coat, I guess she'd be classified as a DMH. It's VERY soft, and has the texture/appearance of a velveteern stuffed animal. And Bailey, 4 months...

My two girls hardly ever shed. I might notice a hair after I've been petting them, but they just don't seem to shed much. Even when I brush them, not much comes off. I hadn't even really thought about it, but I pet somebody else's cat the other day, and there was hair flying all over the place...

I know a lot of people don't like Craigslist and there are horror stories out there, but have you checked it? I got my first kitten off of Craigslist, and the whole story had a happy ending. A gal found a ferral cat with kittens, she managed to trap the mom and get the kittens. She had the mom...

So I'm a fairly new cat owner. I've had my older kitten, Lua, for about 2.5 months now, and my younger kitten, Bailey, for about a month. We had barn cats when I was a kid, but they were skittish and wild. These two are my first pet cats. I hope this doesn't make me sound irresponsible, but...

I don't have any house plants, so I'm not worried about that. I mixed some warm water in her food last night so it was kind of a soup. She ate all of it, so hopefully the extra fluids got her rehydrated. She's had a normal solid stool since last night, and she's still bouncing all over the...

My kitten, Bailey, has diarrhea. I've had her for over a month now, and she's always been completely healthy. She's had her shots, been checked for worms. She's an inside cat, so she couldn't have gotten into anything. She hasn't had any diet change recently (she gets 3/4 can Natural Life wet...

I'm sure she'll be fine I don't blame you for worrying though. Lua got to be the lucky statistic and be the 1 in 100 that had something go wrong. She got an internal infection and was really sick and hurting for a few days. After some antibiotics, she's back to 100% I'm sure your girl will be...

Ahhh, they're all so gorgeous! Crazy4catz2, Franky's eyes are a lot like my meezers. My girls have the pale blue on the outside and the dark blue around their pupils

Thanks She's my pretty girl. I have two color points, a lynx point (tabby points) and a seal point (black points), and since they both have the color point gene, they both have the red eye thing. I'm not a photographer by any means, and I'm constantly frustrated by having good photo ops...
