Ah - inca did this with her first collar. She hid it from me, the clever girl. And it wasn't a case of wiggling out of it, she actually unbuckled the plastic thingie. In the end, I got her one of thos Beastie band collar things ( http://www.beastiebands.com )... It attaches with velcro and is...

She's a 19 month old Birmilla... which is a cross between a chinchilla and a burmese apparently. She's like a brick though, tiny but seems to weigh a lot more than it would appear!

Haven't quite figured out the whole putting pics in signature thing, so I thought I'd post this photo of inca for everyone's amusement. Captures her good side, eh? She wasn't too pleased - when she saw the pic on the screen of my computer, she flipped. Obviously Pesky Reflection Cat gets...

Just as a li'l followup (what, No ideas/help please!?)... Today I was looking at some pictures that I took of Inca, she jumped into my lap to investigate. Saw the picture of her on my computer screen, and started hissing and growling!! Goodness - my cat has no depth perception. It's not just...

Now this is a new one and I've done a search all over the internet to find some answers, but no luck. Hoping you folks can help. My sweet-but-scared-of-her-own-reflection cat did something extra extra odd this morning.... The other night we had a BBQ and then last night Inca had managed to...

I agree with the feeling 'stateless'! I was born in Holland, UK citizenship, raised in the US (green card), moved to the UK and now live in Catalonia, Spain. I used to have a 'mid-atlantic' accent, according to my british cousins, but now my american friends think I sound english and my...

So in follow up to my previous question ( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...t=sudden+freak ) about Inca freaking out for no reason.... I think we've figured it out. She is scared of her own reflection - but instead of attacking the glass door, or going to investigate (!), she hisses and...

Quick update.. I think we've figured out that it could very well be her reflection in the window on the door. It's not quite clear, so she sees her, but also the outside as well... (she seems fine with mirrors...!) So the other day when she started up, hissing, I just picked her up and placed...

Ah - the bed is a Whiskas Cat Bed that I found on my never-ending search for Cool Cat Things. I got it from a company in the UK called Cats in Comfort, ( www.catsincomfort.com ) but if you do a search on ebay, I saw a couple of them there I think. Don't let her fool you - she slept in it a few...

I'm new here, and just thought I'd take the opportunity to show off my lovely new-to-me cat, Inca. She's a Burmilla, 18 months and is 80 percent of the time an absolute angel. I'm not a Burmilla, 33, live in Spain and probably am even less of an angel. So here is her looking, well, angelic in...

I think I might try that today.... taking her for a second opinion. She flipped out again last night - and the night before. But just as I thought it was a "nighttime" thing, yesterday it was at about 8 or so when it was still light! The vet just sort of looked her over, took her temperature...

Hi folks I've been lurking here for a while reading all your very helpful, amusing and informative posts... I'm hoping maybe someone can help me out..! I've got a lovely new (to me) Burmilla cat. SHe's 18 months and an absolute doll. Rescued her - but basically the story goes that she was...
