    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.

    Puking kitty

    Hey guys! I'm in my industrial relationships lecture right now, so htis will be short. One of my two has been throwing up every night for three days. They did it Monday night as well. I don't nkow which it is, because I always find iti nthe morning. It's always the same amount, and it's clearly...

    Gooey water dish?

    My kitties have one of those big water dispensers (not a fountain, just like an upside down jug on top of the dish) as a] I travel often, for days at a time and b] they drink a lot of water. However, I've noticed that whenever I take it up to refill it (once a weekish) the bottom of the resevoir...

    Josephine's goopy eye

    When we rescued Jo a few months ago, she had an infected eye. It gummed her eye shut; it slowly got better until it was just a goop running constantly and building up. The vet said it might be viral and she couldn't do anything about it, but not to worry about other cats catching it because...

    Bizarre and gross housecleaning question

    Well, my roommate and I have been hunting the source of a "funk" in our kitchen for the few days. Pungent and unsettling, it has been a monkey on our backs. Well, today... I found it. There's this little corner cupboard under the sink (you know the ones with the TINY doors and the HUGE space in...

    No purring?

    I'll start by saying that Josephine has made incredible progress since we rescued her - she used to bite and scream and hiss and scratch, all the time, and now she's quiet and cuddly. However, I've NEVER heard her purr. She can lay in my lap and get her head and chin scratched and look as happy...

    Cutest behaviour, I just had to share

    My two are just getting to know each other (Josephine was introduced about a month ago.) It's been slow and gradual, but positive. Jo's gone from hating Napoleon and beating him up to putting up with Napoleon and occasionally playing along. Just now I had to pick them both up in one arm to...

    Depressing pregnancy news

    My Josephine went to the vet today, accompanied by myself and her "Sugar daddy." (friend of the family paying for her work.) While we were there, I asked the vet "Is there any chance she's ever had kittens?" They got all quiet, then finally told me that when we rescued her, she had been pregnant...

    Anyone in Kingston, Ontario, Canada...

    I was at the Kingston Petcetera today to pick up some toys for my spoiled brats, and I happened to stop in their little adoption agency. In there they had a few kitties and a LOT of kittens. There was one cat there named "Chester," a handsome orange and white. He looked to be about 2 years old...

    Is there a way to tell if a cat has given birth before?

    My sweet sweet Josephine, as some of you may know from other posts, was a feral cat until recently. We know she is slightly over a year old, that she has never had affectionate human contact before us, and is slightly paranoid. She also has large, protruding nipples -- I've heard it said that...

    Any litter advice?

    I bought some pretty cruddy litter. I once tried MAXX Scoop, which worked pretty well. I just went out and bought a 10kg bag of it, since I need something that works. However, while I was there, I saw those silica beads that supposedly absorb all moisture. I have two very healthy cats (read...

    Jumping up on desks...

    Here's my problem. My rambunctuous pain in the butt Napoleon loves to jump up on my dresser and desk at night when I'm asleep -- they're the only place I DON'T let him jump, since there are fragile and expensive things up there. I don't know how to stop him! Every time I catch him he gets kitten...

    More cats than I should be allowed...

    Well, the topic may be SLIGHTLY misleading. Let me tell you my story. My name is Geordan. I'm a 21 year old theatre technician in Toronto. I live with one roommate in a fairly large apartment downtown. I come from a home with NO cats -- allergies dictated only one (nonallergenic) dog. I loved...
