    Meet Prudence (Pictures, pictures and more pictures)

    So a few weeks ago, we brought home a new baby. This is Prudence. She is 10 week old Seal Pt. Siamese girl. She and Fred got along from the start. It probably helped that he was 7 months when we brought her home. They play, sleep, eat and even poop together. And she is a total doll...

    Was this mean of me?

    Since he hit 6 weeks, Freddie has been a brat! Always biting and attacking. I know he is just treating us like he would treat his litter mates, but I was too afraid that this behavior would roll over into his adult hood. Today, after he was particularly mischievous, I rubbed Tabasco sauce on my...

    Introducing My New Kitten...

    Freddie! He was abandoned at a fire station and brought to the SPCA where I work at only 2-3 weeks old! I've given him July 15th as a birthday, and it seems pretty accurate! That makes him 5 and a half weeks now! You can see him all dirty the day he was brought in. He's been difficult to...

    Kitten Shivers After Drinking Goat Milk

    Just as the title reads, my 5 week old kitten shivers every time after he finishes drinking goat milk. I am currently weaning him off of it, by diluting it with more and more water every day, but now I am wondering if I should take him off of it completely. For a better description of what...

    Raw Diet for a Very Young Kitten

    It's been a while since I've posted yet, but I've been trying to do some research on this and haven't had much luck. So I guess this question would be best answered by a breeder who feeds raw or a foster parent who does. I've been working at an animal shelter this summer and I guess it was...

    Jack-O-Lanterns!

    This weekend, my boyfriend and I carved our Jack-O-Lanterns- It's one of our favorite parts of Autumn. We're both pretty artistic- but while I'm a painter and sculptor, Danny's a drawer and a carver :P His Jack-O-Lantern is always wayyy cooler than mine! So I thought I'd share.... Danny's...

    Too Old to Scruff Him?

    Raymond is a 10 lb 11 month old Siamese. He's quite the hunter, and is not even allowed in the room where my gerbils are kept because on many occasions he has "gotten into them" (never harmed one, but I'm sure he would if he had the time). Last night, my boyfriend and I were in the room with...

    Problems with play aggression

    My 10 month old Siamese kitten, Raymond has always been "frisky". For the first 5 months that I had him, I lived home with my parents, cat Stanley and dog Abby. Poor Stanley was the main target of Raymond's friskiness, and he became Raymond's default playmate. Now that Raymond and I have moved...

    Nose Freckles Appearing?

    When I first got Raymond, my Chocolate Point Siamese, he was 4 months old and his nose was completely brown, like in this picture.. Over the past few months, pink freckles have been appearing (that or pigment is disappearing), and just getting bigger... like this... Should I be worried? Has...

    Ringworm

    Well, today we had to go in for Raymond's last set of kitten shots, and just last night I noticed a bald spot on his elbow. I know there aren't many other things that do this other than ringworm, so I figured I'd ask the vet this morning. The vet thinks it's ringworm too, but has sent in a...

    Ever Build Your Own Cat Furniture?

    My boyfriend and I are planning on building our own cat furniture instead of paying $200+ to buy one. Anybody ever do this and have any tips or advice?

    Pregnant Cat in Shelter: Ontario

    Saw this "URGENT" ad on petfinder for this pregnant Siamese mix in Ontario. Thought somebody in that area might be able to help her (I hope!) http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=10709550

    How much do you feed a kitten?

    As the title implies, how much is a kitten supposed to eat a day. I know at 8 weeks old, a kitten should be fed roughly 4 times a day, but how much each time? And how does that equate to Lbs of food, so I know how much I should be buying at a time? Thanks!

    Looking For a Good Breeder

    Hello Breeders For about a year and a half, I've been researching and planning to buy a kitten during the Summer of 2008, preferably a few weeks *before* I move into my new house, August 19.

    Grooming Siamese

    I have a 'Cat Breed Encyclopedia'. As you would imagine, it lists all recognized, and some unrecognized breeds of cats. Each cat is listed with 1-5 "brushes' which are implicit of the level of grooming they require. Much to my surprise, Siamese have 3 brushes and the book says they require...

    Hello From New York

    Hey, my names Jill. I'm a cat lover and have been for my entire life. I grew up with two Siamese cats, Joyce and Frank. Joyce had to be PTS at 16 and Frank at 19. When Frank was about 17 we adopted a 7 month old DSH from the animal shelter cattery where I had been working. We named him Stanley...
