    Great, thanks! She did finally go last night.

    New kitten isn't pottying...

    Hi all! Long-time member, scarce poster... I've finally gotten another cat! She is a three month old Siamese cross named Chai. She looks like a lilac-point. Absolutely lovely temperament, too! I brought her home yesterday at approximately this time and she has had the bathroom to herself so...

    Oh no... here we go...

    She's named her SALLY. I liked my name so much better! :p She LOVES her, thinks she's just the sweetest thing ever... but then her last two cats have been evil, horrible things. Nasty. The current one is older and was owned by an elderly lady with Downs Syndrome. Her mother is my grandmother's...

    Oh no... here we go...

    I took the little tyke to my grandmother this morning. Her cat has been alone for a while and could use company. So it worked out well. The only problem is, by the time I got her out there... she was attached to me... and it was very hard to leave her. But now I'll be able to see her...

    Oh no... here we go...

    She is just too cute. Very wary of anything but slow, slow motion. I haven't decided if I'll keep her yet or not... there is also a great animal shelter in town, run by one of my favorite vets. I'll have to talk to my boyfriend in the AM.

    Oh no... here we go...

    Actually no- it's a girl! She's already tamed down a lot- all bark, no bite- and is snoozing on me at the moment.

    Oh no... here we go...

    This is the best I can do, for now, in way of pictures. The crate is in a corner of the dining room and partially covered in cloth, so not good for lighting. I didn't want to move it or turn on the flash.

    Oh no... here we go...

    I'm not worried about the place I'm currently with. I'm allowed the dog and one other animal (other than caged, which don't count towards the total) so the kitten is fine. My lease is up in September and I'll be moving. The limit is two pets in my current place. In whatever new place we wind...

    Oh no... here we go...

    I think I've run into another pet. When I came home tonight I saw a set of very large ears peeking up over a mauled bag of trash. It looked to be a cat- not a kitten, but a cat... so boy was I surprised when a tiny little kitten with MASSIVE EARS bolted across my drive and tried to hide in...

    Tips on bringing a semi-feral into the home? *pictures*

    She is very young. Unfortunately, after speaking to my property management company, I'm going to have to pass her up. I am under the two-pet limit right now with my one dog, but my boyfriend will be moving in with me this year and he has a cat. We could probably get away with an additional cat...

    Tips on bringing a semi-feral into the home? *pictures*

    Yesterday, I found a craigslist posting for "barn cats" that included, at the end, a little calico Manx girl looking very unsure of herself. The poster mentioned that Layla would make a barn cat, but that she could also be tamed down a bit and kept indoors if her new mom were willing to...

    I could beat the Sh*t out of this man... Read!

    Having not read the other replies -- tired, eyes are crossing a bit -- some people are just basically scummy and enjoy jerking others around. I suspect that if the OP of that (admittedly very aggravating) craigslist post happened upon this thread, he would enjoy it a good deal. In the interest...

    I was so MEAN now wondering if I was too mean :(

    I can't wait to have children... I've already decided my course of action in this situation... I'll very calmly stick my hand onto their face and wiggle my fingers. Kind of like my boyfriend's cat pressing his nose against yours and following your face. Nothing like some germy hand oils on...

    Hes up to it again

    Best for him to get violent when it's not just he and the wife -- yes?

    Hes up to it again

    Hang on a sec... what's the problem with showing her the texts while he is there? She's going to have to tear him a new one at some point after she finds out... just show them to her, whether or not he's there... heck, if he IS there, she can check his phone at the same time and double-confirm...

    ACK! Black Widow!!

    My house would have been under the big white tent a total of three minutes later. I HATE SPIDERS!

    Problems after spaying. (long)

    Have you suggested the abscess to him directly and asked him to check for that? Possibly it's a stupid question, but I would like to think that he just hasn't thought of it rather than that he is intentionally letting her suffer.

    Screaming cat

    Is he not approaching you at all? If you can catch him while he's in the cage, that would be great. (If he doesn't spend him in the cage, get him in there with food and water.) If you're really worried about him biting you, wrap him in a towel and wear gloves. You can take a partner along...
