Welcome Leeka anf good luck with the kittie hunt. Btw I have 4 cats and NONE of them get along - toleration is all I can expect

I am not an alcoholic, but named my cat Midori after the drink. There are alot of drinks that seem to make cool cat names, if I get another cat I am going to name her Sambuka (sp?). I thought Frangelica would make a good cat name also.

Hello guys! Thank you all for your sweet words and replays!!!
squirtle : I am not an alcoholic also, but i agree with you- Bailys- great name! I also liked yours one- Frangelica- and since my full name is Angelica- I guess I liked it the best so far..But will see my kitty and then will decide, right? I also like Amaretto ( as a word! ) but not sure if that would make a nice cat name....
Have a great day! 8)
prrrrr...prrrr...

Leeka,

Quite often the kitten will tell you his name. My 2 boys (Pipsqueek and Frantic) named themselves.

As for the wires on your computer, go to the hardware store and pick up a piece of PVC pipe. Its the long white plastic piping. Snake the wires thru there and to the wall. If you are only a short distance away from the outlet, tie the wires together into a neat little bundle. You can pick up wire ties at any computer store. They're made of cloth with velcro closure so its not permanent.

Great! Thank you, Sweets !!!
I was looking for the proper word in my dictionary- that was hard! Now I know- plastic piping- PVC pipe!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have 6 speakers all over my walls, and then scanner, printer, buffer for speakers, monitor, DSl, phone, TV..My Godness, so many of them! I also have a Wacom tablet with pen which I will have to wrap up and take away every time I am not using it- just because I am sure- that IS the deepest dream of any cat- to chew my pen and wires! ))) Even if it's not that dangerous for kitty- I would preffer her( or him) do not eat my toys..since I am not going to eat and chew his!
Thank you , again!

There are so many products, it can be a bit intimidating!

Litterboxes: Your preference, and kitty's preference really. I have one of each (one covered, one open) for my two kitties, and they rarely use the covered one.

Litter: Stay away from scented litter, most cats don't like the heavy scent. Other than that, whatever brand suits you. Some people recommend staying away from clumping/scoopable litter for little kittens since they tend to ingest some litter, so depending on the age of the kitten(s) you get, you may want to try one of the more natural litters like Swheat (made from wheat), Feline Pine, or Papurr. I use Tidy Cats Scoop for my two, but they are 4 years old.

Food: Boy, this is the great debate! Generally, the main part of kitty's diet should be dry kibble, with water available all the time. Wet food can be used as a treat, or to supplement water intake if kitty isn't all that interested in drinking water straight from the bowl. As for choosing a food, look at the ingredients. The first ingredients should NOT be corn, corn meal, wheat, etc. It should be meat. These are not going to be a food that you can buy at the grocery store (i.e. stay away from Meow Mix, Friskies, etc. They are like junk food for your cat. ). Some foods that are recommended around here are Royal Canin, Science Diet, Science Diet Naturals, Nutro. Just do a search for "cat food" in the Health and Nutrition Forum and you will find more information than you know what to do with! Personally, I feed my two Authority lamb & rice (my Trent has a very sensitive stomach and can't eat chicken), which is PetSmart's brand of food. It is less expensive than some, more expensive than the grocery store brands, but the cats are doing well on it and I feel OK giving it to them.

I hope you will find the right cat/kitten what will fit best to you and your life stile . I would just go to your shelter and see what they have on cats/kittens and ask as many question as you can think off . Also let them know what kind of personality you are looking in a cat/kitten . I am sure they are more then willing to help you in any way . Good luck finding your sweetie for life

Thank you so much! Your advice is sooo helpfull! Tell you the truth- I was almost talked into buying food for my kitty from Food Lion- now I can see- that would be a terrible mistake! And I think I'll start with open litter box, then, later on, will see what my cat will like better. Also, if that happened and I'll love younge or even adult cat- I think they will have some habiits about litter box and food and I am sure peopel at the shelter will be able to help me!

Thank YOU also! That exactly what I am going to do- drive people nuts at shelter! I already have so many questions...about personality..I want a loving gently purrrfect cat! ..and my boyfriend whants a crazy one! That will run around our house, and play almost nonstop..so, I think I might end getting two cats!!!! One for me and one for my fiance!

Hi, everybody! I went to the shelter today...All cats are adorable..I liked "Boo" so much, and even my boyfriend liked him to. He is a male and three years old, he's been declowed!!!! It's terrible!!! I felt so sorry for him! Actually I loved all their cats! They all meowed for me givving him some gently hugs and tryed to get my attention to them..It was awsome expirience!!! Afetr all I applied an application to get little tiger Jack- I liked him the most, besides we've decided to adopt a kitten, but not an adult cat..If I could I would get Boo...His huuuuge green eyes and short black hair made my fall into him! Meybe I'll think about getting both of them....
Well, anyways, my ID address and phisical address are not the same, so I have to stop by there tomorrow and give them my power bill...which I just saw and it's on my boyfriend's name, so I guess we will have to add my boyfriends name to the application.....I AM SO EXCITED!!! Pretty much scared that will not get through thow..will not be approvied...Do not know why, but still scared....Well keep you informed....Have fun!

Welcome to the site.

was wondering- maybe somebody know..If scenced air fresheners( the ones you are pluging in to the wall-chargers) are safe for kittens- because they are poison for human!

Welcome to TCS. Have you got your kitties yet? I hope you have! I hope you'll be able to share pictures with us. I definitly reccomend(can't spell uhh!) Royal Canin & Hills SD. Good luck and let us know,
Sam.

If you're meaning the Scented Air Purifiers you plug into your power points, they are safe for people and pets.

The only thing is I need some help on HOW TO name my new best friend? I have to admit that I am from Russia and long time ago I had a cat back there, and of course his name was Russian, so now I'd like you to help me with some examples! I know I have to see cat before I'll name it, but I just HAVE NO IDEA from which name to select!

I really really hope you could help me!
