    Hello!

    Thank you for the welcomes. @MServant  - Avril is the more photogenic one of the two (she's always smiling ). Both of them have wonderfully soft, silky fur, although Pierre's has more of a DLH feel rather than a Russian Blue feel (since he is a Nebelung).  Mouse is adorable and very handsome.

    Upper Respiratory Infection

    Glad to hear that Blitz is doing better. In response to your first post- you are doing everything right- I also used a vaporizer when my Avril came in as a kitten with URI.  A visit to the vet, like stephanietx suggested, would help with Blitz's stress (which he is likely undergoing in response...

    What Are You Reading? (Part Three)

    I know I should  have an e-book (as a professor who loves to read wherever she goes), but I just can't get myself to purchase one. I love the feel of book paper and for some reason, the simple sound of pages flipping is soothing to me (i.e. in a library).  Right now I'm re-reading The Little...

    Cat instincts and the 'gifts' they bring us.

    Pierre just brought me a twitching mosquito, killed it and then ate it.  They're pretty common in this kind of weather, but boy it was huge and disgusting- barely alive and its legs were twitching! I almost screamed when he came over with this proud look in his eyes and then immediately pounced...

    What's the last absent minded thing you did?

    I've accidentally shoved garbage into my purse and into the laundry hamper, and I have also used shampoo to wash my face.  Just the other day the other professors and I were having lunch in the cafeteria. I had stored my lunch in the fridge (of the cafe) and was planning to microwave it...

    Two rescues here- one from a friend who didn't have the means to take care of him anymore, and one from a local shelter.

    Gotcha Day for the newbies

    Happy Gotcha Day, Travis, Jake, Hannah, and Molly! And thank you for taking these four sweet souls into your heart and home.   Travis looks very handsome for 18.   Your catio looks gorgeous. Mine is just a small enclosure in our backyard with a couple cat trees. I love the "collage" you made...

    Hello!

    Hello and I'm happy to be here  Our more recent addition (adopted from a shelter a year ago) is Avril, a Russian Blue we adopted as a kitten (so she's 1 now). She is more of the dependent, cuddly type and loves to curl up on my lap when she gets the chance. She had a URI when she came home as a...

    Vocal and uncharacteristic meowing?

    Hi everyone.  I'm new to this site and certainly know someone will be able to help us with our question. (And apologies in advance for the long thread!)  We (my husband and I) have two cats - the one in question is a 3-year old Nebelung mix named Pierre. We adopted him from a close friend of...
