    What's your favorite part?

    My kitty's toe fur - Astrid is at least 1/2 Maine Coon, and she has the most darling toe fur sticking out on her paws. She is a plain grey/brown tabby, but her belly and toe fur is light blonde and it is too cute watching her walk on her dainty little paws with the fur. She also has very fluffy...

    What does your cat do that makes you think "aw I love you.."

    I think one of the funniest is how Astrid HAS to walk in front of me - if I am walking through the apartment and she is behind me, she bops me on the leg until I stop and she gets in front. And then, of course, she walks s l o w l y and stops to stretch! At night, she will jump up on the bed...

    What words do your cats understand?

    Astrid understand "no" but it is really up to her if she decides to obey. And she knows "lovvies" and "brush" and "cookie". If I ask if she wants her brush she happily trots over and assumes the position to get a nice brushing. And if she hears the treat packet and I ask if she wants a cookie...

    What are your cats afraid of?

    Astrid is afraid of ice cubes! She loves to follow me into the kitchen and loves to look in the fridge, but the minute I get out ice cubes she flees in terror. She apparently cannot stand the sound of me cracking them into a glass. I remember putting one on the floor to see if she would play...

    Hairball & Sensitive Tummy?

    Her dry is 1/2 Nutro Max Cat Hairball and 1/2 Nutro Indoor Cat. I know that Fancy Feast isn't that good, but she rejected Wellness, Merrick (after liking at first and then leaving me to donate most of the CASE of it bought to save money ). The Science Diet Hairball formula wet seemed to be ok...

    Hairball & Sensitive Tummy?

    My baby is getting her beautiful winter coat in, but it has also meant an increase in the hairball incidents. She is lovingly groomed daily with a brush & furminator I have searched the site and tried everything from the canned pumpkin (for her tummy), hairball wet food, treats, laxatone and...

    What else can be done for hairballs?

    I am having the same problem. My kitty has been doing fine all summer even with the shedding; I have been grooming her daily with a brush and the furminator. However, as the cooler weather is coming and she is getting a fuller coat (she is at least part Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat with a...

    Considering Second Cat

    Thanks for the input. I have contacted the organization and told them I need a little more info about his temperment and any medical issues. And I am sure I can get something with his scent. He is such a beautiful and loving cat, especially since he has been so stressed with all stuff he has...

    Considering Second Cat

    I have recently been in a situation where a lovely, older cat in our shelter needs a new home. My concern of course is how my only cat, Astrid, will take to having a companion, since she is the princess of this place. The cat I want to take in is an older, large, just neutered male Maine Coon...

    Sophie's dainty little feet

    How precious - such a little lady! You have to start a thread on Rosie's pretty toes, too! Both your girls have such adorable paws.

    Night time crazies

    Astrid gets the crazies too, but I seem to be able to sleep through most of it now. I had to remove EVERYTHING off the top of my bureau (perfume, jewelry box, any and all random girl stuff) because her favorite night time crazy thing was to knock them over (crash, bang etc.). However, now that...

    How do your cats greet you ?

    Astrid is usually peering at me from around the corner of the stove as I come in the back door. I can tell she has been sleeping before I arrive because she has that rumpled, eyes half shut look and usually gives a big stretch before "meep"ing and meowing at me. She rubs up against me, sniffs...

    Favorite Breed of cat?

    Before I got my mutt Astrid from the shelter, I was also online looking at Siberians. Just beautiful animals with such sweet faces. And Somali Cats are just stunning. When I took my baby home, she was sort of a not too pretty and scrawny grey/brown tabby. Her marking were not so special but she...

    Attention Dana Fans!!

    What a pretty girl! Good job getting her well and seeing her beauty from the start. Obviously she is a special kitty and it looks like she is a great helper with your foster kits.

    my little boy is growing up.....

    What a great pic! It is amazing how they change. Both kitties have gorgeous, shiny coats. And I love those placemats under their food bowls - where did you find those?

    How do you not adopt a bajillion kitties?

    I volunteer at a local cat rescue and work in the adoption center and as an adoption counselor. It is tough not to fall in love with all the kitties, and there have been a couple that would have come home with me but were already adopted. I also know the joy of seeing these wonderful cats...

    I want THAT TOY, not this one.

    My baby arrived at my home with one white fur mouse that she loved, tossed and carried around. And yes, eventually destroyed so it was only a sad lump of plastic with a few soggy tufts of nasty greyish fur. I have tried to interest her in MANY other toys, and I am always on the lookout for a...

    Rosie videos

    How cute is Rosie? Of all the wonderful qualities she has, many mentioned here, I just think her little feet are so precious. I know I would be scooping her up and kissing and rubbing her dainty, pretty paws. And maybe I am nuts, but I swear I heard her say "mraw ma" in that first video...

    So sick of my house smelling like cat s****!!

    The first few weeks when I got Astrid she was a super stinker. After being here awhile, getting settled into the right diet for her, and a high quality litter, the stinkies are under control. She eats Nutro dry and Merrick wet and I use World's Best Cat Litter. Very good odor control. It used to...
