    Spring.. "showers" *sigh*

    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...

    Kittens being born right now!

    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...

    Yay, foster kitties!

    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...

    My cats LOVE peppermint!

    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...

    L-lysine

    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...

    HELP - what happened to Bubba's head?

    I noticed a small bald/bloody patch on bubba's head tonight, and when I went over to look at it, I realized it was swollen quite high around quite a bit around it. When you press on it, it's fairly soft - like, if you were pressing on foam. There is a -lot- of swelling (or infection?). He...

    Mom hates daughter

    Hello guys - I have an issue where the mom cat (Lady) has started attacking her (almost year old) female kitten (Asha). About two months ago, she started getting very snitty with her, and now, it's gotten to the point where the (not really a) kitten hides underneath of the furniture -all...

    Affectionate w/ me, scared of everyone else

    I have a DLH that is -extremely- affectionate with me. Follows me around, looks up and meows at me until I pet him. I can pick up him up, hold him on his back like a baby - as long as he's being touched, he doesnt care. However, this cat is deathly afraid of everyone else. Anyone so much as...

    De-stickifying cat

    I had a couple of those long stick-strips up to catch flies (ones you usually see in and around barns), and one of my cats succeeded in knocking it down, and wrapping it around his body. Once I managed to catch him, stop him freaking out, and get it off him, I got him in the shower to get him...

    Animal Control - Rabies - Euthanasia

    I'm in desperate need of advice. I came home to find a bat - alive, but on the floor from being knocked down by my cats in my house. I took it into animal control this morning to have it tested. They said that if it was positive, all of my cats that have been vaccinated would have to be...

    To introduce or not introduce?

    A week ago this evening, I picked up a beautiful stray siamese cat that had been hanging out ON the drive through window at Wendys for three hours. Rather than letting her go to the local animal control (who doesn't have the best record in rehoming cats), or having her wander out onto the busy...

    This is beginning to be disturbing

    Below, is Momma Fetch with her six week old black and white kitten, who is beginning to get weaned, but still nursing. Also below, is her five MONTH old gray kitten. Who is almost the same size as she is. AND STILL NURSING. ...something is really wrong, here :P (note, all involved...

    OMG bat!

    So I woke up after falling asleep on the couch (too hot upstairs!) to hear my cats yowling. I look up, and see a flitting object moving around my ceiling. At which point I turn into a three year old, start screaming, and run into the other room, and cower for a few minutes. I would have been...

    What am I?

    So, I found this girl -ON- a Wendys drivethru window last night, where she'd been hanging out for three hours. I've already put up fliers/called animal control/put found add in newspaper, and I'll be taking her to get scanned for a microchip on Thursday. My question is: What is she? I know...

    Introducing: Madam Pierre

    We really were hoping that this six week old surprise kitten was going to be male, and we would name him Jean-Pierre (check out the mustache), but alas - she's female. And therefore, called Madam Pierre! Reclining in regardness: Mom, what are you doing! Her first glamour shoot, apparently...

    Hopefully Temporary Siamese

    So, I went to get dinner last night. Ordered Iced Tea and a baked potato from Wendys, started to pull up to the window to pay.. and sitting on the ledge of the window (off to the side, not where the window slides open), was a cat. Just sitting there, watching everyone drive by. I asked them...

    Identify me for Found posters!

    So, I (hopefully) temporarily brought home another cat. This girl was sitting ON the drivethrough windows at Wendys for about 3 1/2 hours this afternoon. They were about to call animal control (they're on two VERY busy roads), when I mentioned that I'd take her home until we can find her...

    Le kitten (pictures!)

    So, this is either Jean-Pierre, or Marie (I'm thinking it's male, but all this hair makes it hard to tell!) I currently call it 'surprise kitten', but it's going to have to have a French name - look at the mustache! I'm not sure if it's going to be a DLH (Dad is, Mom isn't), or a DMH. Also...

    Gunky eyes!

    So, my surprise kitten (whose name will be either Jean-Pierre or Marie once I know what sex it is) has gunky eyes. Whatever the gunk is, it glues the eyes shut, but after I take a warm, wet washcloth to it, and clean them up, they open right up and the eyes look fine. I will obviously take it...
