[zartan]

[camaroz1985]

They're here!!!









Clutch still has an upper respiratory infection and red rimmed eyes so I have to keep them apart, but he is going to the vet tomorrow morning so hopefully that will clear up soon so they can play together.

[Flow]

They're so cute. I hope Clutch comes out alright.

[noche_caliente]

[BlueRaven]

Thanks guys. They are adorable and so cuddly. Clutch's vet visit went well. They gave me more ointment for his eyes, and said it didn't seem like he had an upper respiratory infection. I have to keep them apart for another week though They know each other are there, and will scratch at the other door when they are out. I can't wait to let them play together.

That's a great video BR. That kitty is having the time of his life.

Hi!

I have a question and I hope there is someone else out there who understands what I am taking about and can give me some insight...

Have you ever had a problem with your cat (indoor cat) steeling? Items like clothing, bags of bread, food that is wraped up, etc...

I have the worst problem with one of my cats steeling! He takes bags of food (or anything else he can find) every night but wont eat it or destroy it 95% of the time. It just gets stepped on and smushed when he leaves it laying on the floor in a dark room. He usually brings it to the bedroom. I have woken up to a whole loaf of bread at the end of my bed many times! And he took it up a flight up stairs. When he's feeling brave he'll steel the sandwich or bagel you just made when you turn around.

Why would he be doing this? Anyone else ever have that problem? I have tried hiding things but I can't hide everything.

This is the theif.

Sometimes he recruits the others in his crimes...

Poppy my orange cat will take nuts, bolts zip ties but mostly carries around this goofy little mitten. You would have to be careful if you were working on your bike or anything because a part would be somewhere lost. She also takes atm slips,atm cards, Drivers lic. if your purse/ pack is open. So I would leave bread out if I were you to appease the Tim boy!

[CloneA]

We were thinking that maybe, just maybe, he brings us 'presents'. Like an outdoor cat will bring you birds, mice, and whatever else they can catch to show their affection. Since he's stuck inside, maybe he 'caught' that loaf of bread and puts it by the bed as his way of showing his affection. Cant think of any other reason why he would be doing this.

Or maybe he's just mad that we painted that room pink.

Timmy spend the day in the garage once. My boyfriend came home to find paw prints all over his just washed, polished and pretty zx10. The cats are no longer allowed in the garage at all. I'm just happy that he didnt scratch up his seat!

[noche_caliente]

I think it's probably just presents for you - if he was mad he'd be far more evil, like peeing on the bed in the picture

[camaroz1985]

Gizmo would just steal things he wanted to chew on. One day I left an SCCA sticker on my desk, and came home to find it in his room with a bunch of teeth holes in it. I figured he wanted it for his own, so I put it on his cat carrier. He seemed to like that

I've got a big problem with this, my younger kitty. She's 9 months old, seems happy, plays frequently, and uses the litterbox. However, when she feels like it, she'll go and pee all over my bed. I've been through 4 mattresses in the last 30 or so days.

[Momaru]

My cat Keiko is a fiend for bread products too. She'll steal a bite of my sandwich if I turn around or leave it unattended for more than a few moments. She doesn't relocate food though, unless it's a bag of kitty treats, which she has shredded and consumed on numerous occasions. Wonder if their liking for bread has any relation to the amount of carbohydrates in the standard cat chow to help it taste better...


Keiko went through the "I'm upset with you" urination phase too. Fortunately she just destroyed a cheap futon, but at the time that was my bed. Honestly don't know what to suggest other than some chemical training aids to keep the kitties away from the bed. Not a great option, but it worked for me long enough for her to get past that phase.

[noche_caliente]

Petsmart and the like have some products that tend to help remove the smell so you don't have to trash things... Justin, have you considered a plastic mattress cover/pad like what they use for little kids who have bed wetting problems? Not the most comfortable to sleep on, but better than continually replacing mattresses!

[CloneA]

I had a cat that started to pee on everything! and out of the blue too. I had to put a tarp over my bed/chairs whenever I wasn't sleeping.

As far as Timmy stealing, he doesn't destroy anything, pee on stuff, or anything! He just seems to like to move things around... he's a little odd but the sweetest big boy.

[camaroz1985]

I thought this was funny. My grand father was over the other night and doesn't particularly like animals. I think Clutch could tell, and was trying to convert him.

The stare down.


He then curled up on his lap, and slept there for a good hour and half or so. Avery was sleeping there for even longer.

[Snake]

It looks like Grandpa decided to join his new friends and take a nap as well.

[camaroz1985]

Haha, no he was just looking down. There is a board game on the coffee table.

[noche_caliente]

too cute! he must not dislike them too much if he let them sit on him!

[BlueRaven]

that is too sweet...

. Our beloved cat died. I don't know what are the complications, but she passed away peacefully.

R.I.P

These photos were taken last year, September.

[Méké]

Sorry ADZLA ... l love cat's too , mine is called " Grosso Minetto " sorry no pic here , too complicated for me , now .

[bdavison]

Here is me and my kittah Shiloh


If you havent tried it yet.....get a ziptie....cats LOVE them.....Just drag it across something, and watch the cat go nuts chasing it. They seem to like the bright yellow ones the best.

And here is the funny for the day.....

[camaroz1985]

Sorry for your loss Adzla. I know what you must be going through.

[Trixxr]

I had to have a lil' help from my little friend Assembling an exhaust can be a real pain, but having kitty on my side, really helped af whole lot!

[Ntotot]

Thank you guys.

I can get thru it, but the cat was very close to my father in-law. He's a bit depressed when he knew about the cat died.

Yeah, I missed her fluffy-ness.

[noche_caliente]

So sorry Adzla

I will have to post up some photos of my herd. I have been rescuing cats for ten years. Fix and release was the plan .After we figured out that they wont leave. We started giving them away to good homes. Fixed with shots cost me about 150 dollars a cat. But over the years we have seen a total decline in the number of stray cats in the neighborhood. All told we are up to 87 cats we have fixed/rescued .We still have eight and had to put down at least 10 . Mostly for injury's or leukemia

I still have eight cats and two dogs
three orange tabby s. One is a female .They are very rare

two regular tabby s

one Russan blue one
black and white guy

and one black cat. Out of all of them the black cat "Inky " Is the smartest cat I have ever seen . She is two years old and runs the whole show. Anyone else have a black cat that is exceptional?

Awesome! I especially like how the kitten climbs up on its own at the end. I guess it lets them know when it's gotta go!

It looks like they have an Acer Aspire one also. I plan to ditch mine now that I have an Alienware M11x but it certainly made my cross-country trip with ease.

My little dose of feline, Keiko. She's half Mine-coon, half Idunno. Terribly soft, but unless you're daddy, attempting to pet her is considered a mistake.

Was going through the site looking for pics & posts about Newton; sadly we just lost him last week at 13.5 years. Feel fortunate that the kids (and us) got to say goodbye before taking him to the vet for the last time; it looked like he had run away to find a quiet place to depart this realm, but somehow he came back a day later with virtually all of his strength fading. Our dog is going to miss his playmate, and I wonder if we have it in us to find another kitten or cat to help him out at some point.

[dcj13]

Sorry about the loss of your cat.

Recommendation: don't rush into getting another cat right away. Wait a few months. Let it sink in. New kitten can become a loved family member, but will never replace Newton.
