I figure I'd post this in the 'New Cats' forum, as it's been a couple years since I've been around All of my kitties I've mentioned previously are doing great, I have seven perminant cats, the other kittens were adopted out (and mom totally catnapped Pounce!). In fact, one of them? TOO GOOD...

You mentioned the springtime in another post, and I am at least casually convinced that spring does have something to do with it. While female kitties can, and do, go into heat at anytime, I believe they're more likely to do so in spring. This makes me wonder if there maybe is a female cat...

I was wrong about the first one, once it dried off, it was grey tiger striped, like it's mommie The second one was just born - I couldn't believe how you can watch the contractions go through the whole belly! I know there are more in there.. can't wait to meet 'em

Mama is a grey tiger stripe kitty (with almost medium length hair), and the first baby appears to be all black, but I didn't get too close (I didn't want to distract mama from her job!) I've been so lucky to be able to foster Marley. She is the -sweetest-, most trusting cat. I picked her up...

Marley, the cat I'm fostering, is giving birth -right as I speak-! I was up there to see the first kitten come out (who is moving around very healthily, and already latched on a nippe), and it looks like she's resting for round 2. I'll post pictures as soon as I can ! eeeeeee! (whats the...

So, as of last night, she's showing signs of nesting... she seems to like my closet (ack), so as a precaution, I laid down some old towels back there. Not the ideal place (I really hoped she would have liked the lined/covered dog cage :P) but we'll deal. No milk yet, but with her nesting, I...

Here is the long story: My boss's parent's neighbours moved. They left their cat behind. Just shut her outside and... left. His parents have been feeding her. And watching her.. grow, and realizing she's .. pregnant. My boss really wants the cat, but has no experience with animal births...

I'm assuming it's just mint, in general, but when I pull out peppermints to eat, the cats will attemp to thick their heads into mine, sniff, lick, and make a general annoyance of themselves. Is it harmful to cats to eat peppermint? It's of the round, hard red-and-white stripped variety (I've...

I have a large amount of l-lysine powder left over from when my vet prescribed it to my poor, sick trash kitty awhile back (she is much better now, and even learning how to rub her face against mine ) My question is - I understand it's considered an 'essential ammino acid' - can/should I...

I have two formerly feral cats who are extremely lovey with me, but -anyone- else even walks into the house, and *poof*, they disappear. I had found all of their regular hiding spots, but one week, I could just NOT. FIND. THEM. A day went by, there was an awful smell in my living room. and I...

How about 'garrote', just for the way your holding him in that picture

One of my cats, Pounce, has to have is arm/paw over my arm or my hand. He'll be sitting in my lap, and if I have my arms down to the sides, his paw will reach over and drape itself across my wrist. No claws, no pulling.. he just lays it there. And on the rare occasion I let him sleep with me...

steam? (okay, so I know that's not the answer, but it rhymes :P)

The vet stitched up the area once they had cleaned up the abscess, but when they took the drainage tube out, they didn't stitch up the side of his face where the drainage tube is - I'm not sure if they had to open up more of his skin to make sure the abscess got cleaned up, or what the logic...

Well, I was wondering how I was going to spend my tax return... $500 worth of vet bills However, the vet was -wonderful- when I asked about cost/if there was a way I could pay it in installments/etc. Originally, they gave me a quote of $800 - $1000. When I picked Bubba up today, and looked...
