Jennifer's comments were right-on. My box frequently jammed after one of my girls used it--she was rather "casual" (better than lazy or neglectful!) about her covering habits. Her timid sister was initially frightened of the box but quickly learned to use it. We eventually got rid of the box--it...

My wonderful Calico "Big Girls," Ophelia and Priscilla (birth sisters) absolutely LOVED the toilet paper game! Priscilla was probably the bigger fan--she probably taught it to Ophelia. They thought that I put it there for their enjoyment! They enjoyed it so much that I stopped fussing at them...

Oh, my, your little ones are growing up already! I'm so jealous of your little "sleepover-loving" girls--they've figured out awfully quickly who loves them! I've never helped to raise a litter (my kitties have all come to me at 10-12 weeks of age), but I've always been torn between wanting to...

How precious! It's amazing what they've learned to do in such a short amount of time on this earth--truly remarkable. They certainly know who their "human nana" is! Happy, healthy kittens are definitely one of the best things in life.

Thanks for the great tips, everyone! O continues to do well and acts as if he'd never been sick at all (thank goodness!). I served him and Clementine some spring water (which we buy by the gallon), and they LOVED it! Both have been lapping away, seemingly, all day--we even had a skirmish by...

What a fantastic story! I waitressed during college and grad school but never got anything as special as a feline tip! One of the hospice patients I worked with did give me my wonderful Siamese girl, my darling Clementine, when her cat had kittens--we've been inseparable ever since! Purrs to Mr...

Your poor kitty--I'm so glad she's getting medical help. Just heartbreaking. She, and you, are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that she's comfortable.

Hello--there's a small posting on this topic a little ways down the list--I was asking, just out of curiousity, whether anyone here knows/knows of any therapy cats. I have worked with them on the "receiving end," but my kitties aren't suited for that kind of work! Best of luck!

Hi again--I just had to comment on these photos, too! What beautiful, precious little kittens! They obviously have a wonderful mama and "kitty nana"--and midwife! It's amazing how fast they grow--almost makes you wish you could slow down time. God bless!

Thanks, everybody, for the healing vibes, good thoughts, and prayers--they've definitely worked! O had his last dose of medicine today, and all of us are very happy! He seems to know that Human Mama wants him to drink a little more and is obliging. I'm going out tomorrow to get his fountain for...

Oh my goodness, what a sad, sad situation! It's made me tear up just reading about it. You are an angel to try and help. Unfortunately, there's no way to force help on people who don't want it. Those kitties are beautiful--I wish I could take them all in and make that woman's home a "no-feline"...

Hi Everybody, Thanks for keeping the good thoughts and prayers coming Omar's way--they are definitely working! We put up our Christmas tree this morning, and he was VERY interesting in the whole procedure--supervising, you know. He lay on the skirt and watched us intently, occasionally offering...

Congratulations on your new litter! Little Canadian kittens! They are all beautiful, as is their proud mama! I just love to see sweet little kittens--one of life's blessings. Those little pink pawpads are so cute! Jealousy is setting in--good thing I live almost near Florida, too far to run over...

Naia, thank you so much for your kind words and good thoughts--you are so sweet to post a response! O is feeling better and is about halfway through his antibiotics. So far, (cross fingers) he doesn't mind taking them and is drinking more water. You are obviously a loving and devoted cat (and...

Poor kitty! Everyone's right--it just takes time for a newcomer to adjust to a new home, new kitty friends, new humans, etc. Just think about how you'd feel if you were suddenly dropped into a totally new environment and told, "Well, here's your new husband! You'll just love him! Here are your...

My Clementine has been known to binge-and-purge. She's a Siamese, and our vet says that they have a tendency to bolt their food. Our vet is a big Siamese fancier and is a Siamese mom herself, several times over, so she must know her stuff. There is a special Royal Canin food made for Siamese...

Omar, Clementine, and I are praying for you and your family--O and Clem also send warmest purrs your way. God bless.

Do any of you all have "working" therapy cats? I worked at our local hospice as a clinical social worker for 10 years, and a group of therapy animals visited our inpatients each week--that group was based out of our local vet school. There was one cat in a virtual sea of dogs. When I was first...

What beautiful kitties! They are certainly photogenic and are obviously looking forward to the holidays! Maybe they were searching for Santa Paws? Maybe showing my little kitty boy and girl your photos will entice them into wearing their Santa hats for a photo!

One of the very best cat toys I've ever bought was a HUGE (over 200 pieces!) of "milk-jug-ring"-type things. They're made of super-sturdy plastic and are invincible when it comes to the roughest play my kitties can dish out--much better/safer than actual milk jug rings. My kitties go wild for...
