    Not a problem, just curious.

    A couple times a week when I go to feed Sam and Henri I find something of mine in their bowl. Usually its a ponytail holder or a sock. Once it was my glasses. I'm not sure who does it, but I am just wondering if it is indicative of anything? I have a feeling they are trying to "hide" it from...

    Needy behavior at night.

    When I first got Samuel, he would sit outside my bedroom door at night and yowl for awhile. Then he would lose interest and go play. I eventually got him a friend (Henri) and he was no longer lonely at night. We have since moved to a new apartment, and everything was fine until a couple weeks...

    Claw chewing.

    Hello! Haven't been around for some time. I recently noticed that a couple of Henri's front claws are rough and splitting. She has two places for her to scratch (and I'm sure she will use the couch when I'm not around) and I trim her nails as regularly as she will let me. Today I noticed...

    Henri got out.

    She is deaf and is suspected not to have any sense of smell. its raining and I don't know how long she has been out, or how I can find her in the dark and rain. any help or prayers would be appreciated.. she has no suspicions about ANYTHING at all and could easily be hurt.

    A couple of Samuel pictures.

    Sammy found himself a window. Here he is showing off his marvelous physique (we're on a diet) This is Chloe, my dad's cat. She and Sam are just now starting to get along.

    Bonding? Or about to have it out?

    Samuel has had a very hard time adjusting to life in my parents house, partially because its so big and partially because my dad's cat, Chloe, doesn't like him. In the past couple of days, I will find the two of them in some sort of tense standoff, usually about 3 feet apart. They are lying...

    interspecies miscommunication= booboo for Solomon

    My mom's Corgi Solomon (Solly) met my two kitties yesterday, and he was not well received. He honestly just wants to make friends, but I think Samuel swiped him in the eye. Now he's walking around holding his eye closed and rubbing at it every now and then. He won't let me open it up to see...

    Change of plans. (Sedation again.)

    I was going to drive from Minneapolis to Chicago with my kitties, but I figured it would be much easier to take them with me this Thursday when I fly out there to go look at apartments. They will stay with my family until I am all moved in. Hopefully this will be less traumatic then driving...

    Bonding with Henri.

    Well, it has been confirmed that Henri is completely deaf. I don't see it as a sad thing though, because she obviously doesn't care! She's completely fearless. However, I feel like we haven't bonded as well, considering I am consistently scaring the daylights out of her. She can't hear me...

    Adventures in my kitchen.

    I just found a bag that has been around for a little too long. I am so bad at food. My onions are growing more onions.

    Henri and Samuel home at last!

    and now I finally have a decent camera! No more phonecam pictures. Now I get to show off my handsome kitties. Henri is making herself at home in her favorite chair. And Samuel is back in my pants drawer, where he feels he belongs. I bought them a Crazy Circle, and so far its been a big...

    I'm pretty sure I'm overreacting, but I need some help. (long.)

    I posted awhile ago about leaving my cats with the woman who originally fostered Henri before I adopted her. My only reservation is that she suggested we meet at a place between our two houses, so I don't know where she lives. I decided there could be good reasons for that, so I left my cats...

    Moving.. with a 6 hour drive.

    I'm making a move from Minneapolis to Chicago sometime in the next couple of months, and I have to plan for the cats. I am SO scared to sedate them. I've read accounts on here of things going wrong and the animal getting sick or the drug having a reverse effect. But both cats hate the car. I...

    Sort of worried.

    Tomorrow, Samuel and Henri are going to Henri's foster mom's house to stay while I am out of town for about a week. I'm worried they are going to feel like they were abandoned there. Is there anything i can do to ease this transition? She is a good lady, but Samuel especially is very bonded...

    Is this weird? or am I being paranoid.

    Maybe this would be better off in care and grooming, so sorry if it has to be moved! I'm looking for a place to board my kitties when I go on vacation, but it seems like I have to pay a TON of money for "kitty spa treatments" or 10 bucks a day for them to be locked in a cage. I opted to email...

    Allergies?

    Samuel's had a goopy eye for the past couple of days. I thought it was most likely due to seasonal allergies, but today it's a little thicker and kind of greenish. His eye is not red, but sometimes I see him squinting a little. Should i wait and see on this one? or does it sound like a visit...

    Pet Peeves.

    I must be grumpy today. Sorry if this thead has been made before, I searched the forum to see if there was one like it and I couldn't find one. MY pet peeves! -People who refer to their cell phone as a "cellie." -People who don't merge fast enough off of the entrance ramp on the highway. I...

    Losing sleep.

    Yep! Its another night crazies thread. I am discovering the pitfalls of having a deaf cat with CH. She is absolutely fearless. While this makes her an excellent and affectionate pet, it also means that she keeps me (and the downstairs neighbors) up all night with her adventures! She has no...
