Kai's mum, I know what you mean about being a mother hen. Children didn't happen for my hubby and I, either. So I treat our cats like- and sometimes better than- some people treat their kids. I carry on conversations with them, I understand them, I love them very much; they fill a void.

I got this from someone else; it is not original to me. How to prepare for a new cat 1. Take cold chicken and stars soup straight from the can and splash it across the carpet and the foot of the bed and then walk in it in the dark with your socks on. 2. Set up a mouse trap at the foot of the...

I have always heard that you're not supposed to touch baby kittens until they are a couple of weeks old. But I have always held our kittens from the moment they were born. New babies are so fascinating my hubby and I would just lay by the momma's box and take them out one by one and hold and...

Meowman, those all fit me to a T. Except I sleep with all the cats. At one time we had four cats and a huge dog and hubby and I and all of them would be in bed. Ever try to sleep with a 40 lb dog pinning the covers down on one side and a 16 lb cat pinning them down on the other? Glad we had a...

This is a funny toilet story. In our old house the bathroom was right off our bedroom. One night, in the middle of the night the toilet flushed. I woke up thinking it was my hubby. He thought it was me and when we realized we were both still in bed we were quite startled, wondering if someone...

BigBoy is 3 times as big as Cinnamon and always wants to play chase with her. She does not play anything at all, so when he is chasing her she runs down the hall and jumps in the middle of the bed. We were getting a new bed last week and had moved the old one out of the room. Cinnamon flew down...

Thanks for all the welcomes. This is a fun place to visit! -Allydia

I keep the door to my sewing room closed all the time although Dummie likes to go in there occasionally and sleep (I suspect she likes to get away from the others). I do let her do that as she will not eat string or rubber bands, she just burrows into a piece of fleece and sleeps. BigBoy will...

I've been owned by cats for the last 35 years and each one had/has a different personality. There was George who loved to ride in cars (that's how I got him and how I lost him). He would complain loudly if you weren't out of bed at 6 and in bed at 10. His litter box was in the bathroom and he...

Hi, I'm Allydia, married 11 years, no kids, 3 cats: Dummie, 10 years/7 pounds/dark gray domestic longhair, Cinnamon, 9years/5 pounds/siamese-tabby mix, and BigBoy, 6 years/16 pounds/Cinnamon's son plus birman mix (quite a beautiful cat). Dummie is the alpha cat, Cinnamon is the innocent one that...

I feed Science Diet cd/s dry because BigBoy has urinary tract problems. We feed four times/day, 1/8 cup for each cat per feeding. BigBoy and his momma, Cinnamon are eaters, would eat it all if they could. Dummie is a nibbler so I give her extra treats throughout the day. BigBoy got up to 18 lbs...

I have 3 cats, 1 is outdoors half the time. I have never bathed them and never will. They do not smell and I've heard it's not good for them to bathe them too often. The only circumstances where I might bathe them is if they get into something really gross and need my help cleaning up.
