I know it's a little late, but I wanted to share these pics from Christmas. Chloe loved her new toys...so much that she couldn't pick just one to play with. The only toys that interest Matilda are ones filled with catnip. She pretty much just licks them. That's ok, whatever makes her...

My allergy doc turned to me and said "don't worry, we don't do cat-ectomies" This whole time I was blaming our dog, and it turns out it's the 3 kitties (plus trees/grasses/etc.). Don't worry, the cats aren't going anywhere! I read conflicting things about whether it's the cat fur, cat...

Mattie to the vet yesterday for a dental cleaning and to have a "tumor" on her eyelid removed (probably just folliculitis). They did her bloodwork before the anesthesia and her BUN levels were just outside the high range of normal. My vet thinks Mattie is older than I was previously told. When...

For as long as we've had him, Henry eats his food super quickly. He puts our 1-year-old labrador retriever to shame, and that's saying a lot! It doesn't matter if it's wet food or dry, or if it's in a bowl or not, it's gone within 5 seconds of putting it down for Henry to eat (if he doesn't...

Henry almost got stung by a wasp today. We caught him trying to catch it in time, but that got me thinking...what on earth do you do with a cat who is stung? Has anyone's cat been stung? I want to know what to do just in case.

Chloe sure picks odd spots to sleep or hang out. These two pictures were taken today. Chloe loves to sleep in our fruit basket when it's empty. This picture was taken a month or so ago when we had our dog neutered. The cone is pretty beat up and dirty from him having to wear it for a...

There is a raised tile banister/shelf in between the bathroom counter and the toilet, separating the two. I had two little glass votive holders on the banister. Well, Henry knocked off the candle holder and it managed to fall into the toilet at just the right angle so as to smash a hole in the...

Henry is 11 months old and is the most playful, mischievous cat I've ever encountered. Lately, when we put him in his bedroom (we have to sometimes keep him in there separate from our other animals, for various reasons) and put a fresh bowl of water out for him, he'll flip it over within a...

Mattie needs to lose weight. At her last vet visit in October 2008, she weighed almost 11 lbs and the vet thinks she should be closer to 9 1/2. I've reduced her calorie intake since then by about 10% (per vet's recommendations) but it's not really helping. I did this by reducing her dry food...

We left this morning for an overnight trip so we had to take care of the cats before we left. Henry eats a different food than the other 2 cats so we had to keep him in his own room while we were gone. We left him in his bedroom with his litter box, water, toys, scratching post, and a bowl...

I can trim Chloe's claws pretty easily...if she's not sleepy, usually scruffing her works. I started trying to get her used to the whole thing as a kitten and I think that helped. With Henry, it's impossible. I've tried waiting until he sleeps (the guy never sleeps!), scruffing, wrapping him in...

I volunteer at the shelter on Saturdays, taking pics of adoptable animals for our website and petfinder. This little guy (5 months old) was adopted by a nice guy about 20 minutes after I took these pictures. The pics were too cute not to share so I thought I'd post them here. He meowed...

I can't believe we have 3 cats now! Back in August, my SO's sister adopted a black kitten from the humane society. I took some pictures of him and put them in this thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=175181 One of the pics from the thread: I was happy for her, but...

We don't really know when Mattie's birthday is. Based on various info, I've decided to consider her birthday January 4, 2007. It's a total guess, I could be off by a year or two, and the month and date could be off as well. Anyway, my point is that today we celebrated Mattie's 2nd Birthday...

I started a new job recently. I like the people I am working with, I like what I'm doing (it's an area within my broad field that I am very interested in), etc. The only downside is how far away it is. It took me 2 hours to get home today in the snow. Without snow and with 'good' traffic, it's 1...

I have been volunteering at the shelter for a few weeks now. I'm one of the volunteers that takes pics of the cats (and dogs, turtles, hamsters, etc.) up for adoption. It's a lot of fun, but man those kittens are squirmy. I thought I would share some of my pictures. Most of them have been...

I know several people use this as cat litter. It sounds really cheap and I like that! (I know stove pellets are cheap too, but my cats don't cover their poop with pellets and so the smell was always pretty bad, even with scooping/sifting twice a day. I tried Feline Pine but I'm assuming that...

I thought that was kind of cool! (Scroll down a little on the main page to 'cat of the day'). http://www.catster.com Oddly enough, my Catster Plus membership is about to expire and I'm not re-newing it. Maybe this is their way of persuading me to come back? (I would if I had money for that...

It's been 1 whole year since I adopted Chloe! I found her on Petfinder, posted here on TCS about whether I should adopt a 2nd kitty so soon after adopting my 1st and of course was encouraged to do so (shocking lol). She was found by a rescue group at about 4 weeks old in a street during a...

I usually feed our 2 cats every morning around 7 am. They start milling around the kitchen and pawing at our bedroom door for food around 6 am. So this morning, I fed them and crawled back in bed. Then an hour later, my SO came in to tell me that he fed the cats for me. He said they were acting...
