    Portraits of my two

    Got a new Digital SLR camera and have managed to shoot about 500 cat photos. Here's a few I took a few minutes ago that I like! Here's Josephine, getting her neck groomed by her brother: And here's Napoleon, satifisied with a job well done.

    The Amazing Spidercat

    *cough* just a correction... It's "Spider-Man." With a hypen. Just like Superman is one word, Bat Man (used) to be two words, Spider-Man is always with a hyphen. So, technically, Spider-Cat. Sorry... I'm a huge (massive, ginormous, obsessive) Spider-Man fan

    Cat Depression

    Hey guys! I had a very similar problem when I got my Josephine. At fist my Napoleon thought it was the greatest thing in the world to have a sister, but then when she started getting a lot of attention, he got mopey and depressed. I just kept treating them the way I always did, and after a...

    Monster Goldfish!

    My aunt's neighbour, before she moved, had two pets: a cat and a goldfish. They both ate the same thing -- wet cat food. I'm not joking! The fish ate cat food! It was approximately the size of a large dinner plate, and lived in a floor-to-ceiling tank. Last I heard of it (and this was close to a...

    Cleaning Service Question?

    My girlfriend's family has a cleaning lady come in twice a week, to clean the house, do the laundry, dishes, etc. Probably works a total of 10 hours a week, and I suspect she gets paid around $25-35 an hour.

    Could someone with computer knowledge, help me?

    A perpetually slowing clock usually means the CMOS battery on the motherboard is near the end of its life. That's a cheap and easy fix for you to have done at most repair shops -- even laptops generally have their CMOS batteries accessible.

    Puking kitty

    They changed food about a month ago. I'm wondering if it's Josephine gorging then throwing it up later -- consistant with the eat-as-much-as-I-can-when-it's-available feral attitude. She might still be adjusting. I'm going to stay up tonight and figure out which one of them it is.

    Puking kitty

    Well, the food their on is quite high quality food, prescribed by the vet. As well, they're only getting a cup of food a day each -- following manufacturer's directions. I was wondering whether it would be food allergies. Either way, I need to somehow figure out which one of them it is.

I don't nkow which it is, because I always find iti nthe morning. It's always the same amount, and it's clearly...

    Hardwood floors... anyone ever had that problem?

    Sounds as if you've got that awful parquet flooring that every apartment in the world has (including mine.) Warps in the floor aren't necessarily permanent, though it's more trouble than it's worth getting it to go back the way it was. I would just tell the super that you woke up one night and...

    How to hold kitten while clipping claws? She bites...

    Cutting mine's claws is kind of like wrestling. I wrap my legs around their torso, so only their front end is exposed, and they can't struggle too much. Then I clip the front claws. Then, I flip them over so I'm doing the same thing, but have a cat butt in my face, and do the rear claws. They...

    How did you get your cat??

    When I finally moved out of student residence and in to my own place, I decided I wanted a pet. I had a dog at home with my parents, and my girlfriend had FOUR cats at home, so I decided I wanted one too. When I visited my parents (300 kilometres away!) I stopped by the humane society to "look"...

    LOL..My cat attacks her own tail

    Napoleon LOVES to attack his tail. He grabs it, bites it hard, realizes it's part of him, then licks it to make it feel better. Soon after, he repeats the process. It's hilarious!

    The story of Rosie and Sophie

    AWWW! So cute! Thanks so much for sharing the pics! Happily, it sounds like the route mine are taking -- Josephine hated Napoleon, but he really wanted to be friends. Now, they play and nap together all the time. So sweet!

    Possible breeds for cat lover who has allergies?

    Pet allergies are entirely about tolerance. I used to be severely allergic to pet dander -- so allergic that my parents bought a Bichon Frise (one of the few dogs with fur instead of hair) at great expense. Then my best friend bought 2 black labs, and I was around them every day. After a month...

    My nephew was attacked last night!!!

    That's awful! I hope he realizes that not EVERYONE in the world is like those hideous creeps. It reminds me of the two teenagers who were shot dead under my balcony last week -- completely random! What is this world (or city?) coming to?

    The agony with the balcony...

    We have a pigeon net on our balcony, and I still don't trust my cats on it. Both are quite persistant, and although the net will support my weight, I KNOW they could get around/through it if they like. Also, pigeon netting is fairly expensive to install. My recommendation would be to get a...
