Basket case

I think that Opie is entering his dotage. Two nights, this week, he slept on the Arizona room sofa - with IKE. Heretofore, he has refused to have anything to do, with Ike. It is beneath his dignity, to pay attention to such a big, dumb, clumsy oaf. I was so surprised, I took pictures, to make sure that I was seeing what I saw.

Yes, our bed is the cat bed too. Barney packs up and goes to bed with us when lights and tv go off. And God forbid you close the door!

I don't know where I read it, but I did read somewhere that cats love red velvet for some reason. This is strange, because the Discovery Channel program about house cats said cats see red as dark, almost black. Nevertheless, I have discovered the same thing in my own experience!

I used to have a black cat and a red velvet bedspread. Somehow, Scamp KNEW that he looked gorgeous on that bedspread. He would loll around, in the middle of the bed and pose.

Aw I bet that was a cute sight

Hehe, Suki was looking lovely yesterday and I got this snap.

Oh yeah and this is our neighbours(I'm from England remember we like our 'u's) cat. She's called Henry, she named her that because she thought she was male

She has a steely stare

Aw, Henry is very pretty, too.

There is definitely something to that red velvet thing. The red (more of a burgandy) velvet tree skirt has become a permanent part of our decor. Now we have to go buy a new Christmas tree skirt because the kitties have taken over the other one.

Hmmm, my cat bed isn't red velvet, it's black velvet ... Although I have another 11 yards of red velvet to try that theory out on! Anyone want red velvet cat beds for christmas presents?

Me, me, me! Oh, wait a minute, maybe they won't want to sleep with me, then! But I love velvet. Maybe you could make me a nice little sheath dress......nothing complicated...

Oops sorry guys, sometimes my browser forgets to update things, dunno why and I missed your replies

Anyway to cheer me up I got our digital camera working with Windohs XP and here's the 'Suki in a upside down basket' picture.

What a silly kitty! Well, it is hers so I guess she can use it however she likes.

BuNN - they're great shots, I think Henry is a doll too!

I was interested to read about the tooth stuff that goes on the paw, poor Fifi had 5 or 6 teeth out a couple of months ago, and she won't even consider the toothpaste samples I was given (getting her to hold the toothbrush and spit into the sink not next to it has been a real bitch . . .)

Anyway, I've just had a card through for her dental check-up so I will raise this with the vet.

Thanks for that info, it might save her and her 2 buddies more painful (and expensive) surgery.

I'm looking for the form that gives the details on the cat tooth stuff and I can't find it :/

It's here somewhere, just involves turning the house upside down (I'm the master of making a mess)

When I find it I'll post back

LOL, just after I posted that I found the form

The stuff is called Logic Oral Hygiene Gel. Here's a summory of the form:


Logic Oral Hygiene Gel:

Brushing is best, but can be difficult, so we use this product that does NOT need brushing!! Logic Oral Hygiene Gel is easy to use as it is applied on a daily basis directly into the mouth, or mixed with a small amount of food. This stimulates salivation. The pet distributes the product around the mouth covering the teeth and gums by licking. The enzymes then attack existing plaque and helps to prevent the formation of new plaque.

Hope this helps

Cool Bananas.

Thanx for that BuNN.

There's no way to get that without a vet's prescription eh? Does it have flavouring? Is it very expensive? Sorry for the questions...

Suki looks like one happily spoiled beautiful cat!

Thanx Jeanie

Tamme: The dental gel is flavoured (Suki licks it off a dish), it's about £6 a tube, and I think you will have to get it from a vet. Our vet gave us some in a small satchet as a sample. I tried it on Sukis' paw and she licked it up with no problems. Then I squeezed some onto a dish and she licked the lot up. So it must taste nice to cats, although to me it was like marmite

I wonder if we can even get that stuff in Canada... I lloked it up on Google and found lots of good info for it, but it's all in pounds. haha I have no idea what that is in dollars.

People around here use Oxyfresh for controlling tarter and bad breath. Take a look at their website, they have a large number of products for pets.
