    auto water

    A number of years ago, I had an "auto water" for my cat that used a regular bottle, such as a two liter bottle (I think 1 liter would have worked too). I LOVED it.. mostly because I could use the bottle a number of times, then throw it away for a new bottle. I had a cat that passed away in 1985...

    toys

    admittedly, I'm not sure the best place for this, but "care" seemed as good as any.... as many know by now, I have a couple of cats from a shelter. One of the cats I have brought in and will be an indoor cat (maybe indoor outdoor, but she doesn't show any interest in bolting out of doors yet)...

    I know that with people, usually it takes 7-10 days for illness to show from the time that a person gets infected... but how long with a cat? Today I noticed that one cat is having problems breathing as his nose is clogged with mucas - but when MIGHT he have gotten sick to begin with. the other...

    Never seen this before - is it a good thing?

    Feral or stray???

    I know that the behavior will be different between a stray and a feral cat, or a cat who has been a stray for so long he's turning feral. i recently started a relationship with someone who is trying to run a program with a local shelter for feral cats. So... she brought me two cats thinking...

    question about purring....

    I hadn't thought this might be an issue until I was reading threads from people about meows. I have a cat who purrs very loudly! strangely there are times that he will be in my arms purring as she also shivers. My little girl (ok, so not so little) doesn't make a sound, but I can feel her...

    reading a fold

    I currently got a fold out of an animal shelter. I've never had one before and believe that it is a triple fold, though it might be a technicality of a double. (no papers and fixed). I have had many cats through my life and feel that I'm fairly good at reading a cats ears. but this one has me...
