Kitty Corner: All about your cat(s)

Andrew, Jr. · 03-18-2011, 04:24 PM

Daisy,

This is just my take on what you asked:

1. I only use Arm & Hammer Cat Litter.

2. Use LocTite on your cat toy. BUT give the toy time to dry. It will never come off again in your lifetime or your furkids.

3. Feline Greenies are the bomb here too. I also give them the Friskies treats. I just give them whatever is on sale.

daisygrrl · 03-18-2011, 04:27 PM

Awesome--thank you so much, Andrew! And, Amazon sells LocTite, to boot

I'm relieved to hear that the Arm & Hammer litter isn't bad news, too!

I appreciate your feedback!!!

my ex got our cat in the divorce (well in all fairness she was hys) but between you and me Pittypat was my girl.

I got her for the ex for a birthday gift and we named her Pittypat because we had hardwood floors and she just made such noise walking around, we could hear the pitty pat of her lil feet running up and down the stairs lol

I miss her, and one day hope to have another little feline to love.

1PlayfulFemme · 03-18-2011, 05:01 PM

We have a HOUSEFUL of furbabies! (The boxers are insisting I mention them even though it's a CATS thread....so, we have two..Hannah & Hunter)

Now! Onto the cats!!

Our oldest baby is Little One and he is 13, we have his children, Spike & Princess, both 12. Then we have Pepper, who was my sister's cat, but became ours again recently (the first time while she & her husband were stationed in Japan, recently after a sudden move found her with a need for a home) and her three children (Kachina, Brianna, and Becca). We have Sage who was a rescue when my wife lived in Reno...who loves Car rides and other magical things. We have a cat lady across the street who has quite the collection of feral cats that she isn't the best mom to....from her, we have: Vegas, Sampson, Hercules, Max & Nina (the last two are my one-eyed, super big hearted babies). And finally, we have Chance who was found in a dumpster with his brother & sister when he was two days old...we lost Sunny & Lucy, but Chance is strong & amazing (and SIX years old!)

All of ours get fixed upon entering the house, assuming they are in good health. The ones with children, came pregnant or with the children already around. I wouldn't trade one of them...

Soft*Silver · 03-18-2011, 05:12 PM

I have Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on ancient limping kitty. He was from a no kill cat shelter. I also took in a throw away cat from a neighbor who moved and left her behind. I had named her Ms Bea but she ended up being called Cat Face the Bold and Beautiful. She is the royal queen of the house and she deserves it. She protects Mr Smitty from dangers. He has no claws (I didnt do that to him) and she does.

I would love one more cat.Both of them are quite old (in the teen years) but I am going to wait. Until money comes in, I cant afford another animal...

Hey, I'd bring one to LR for you if you had a way to get it home.....just saying

Mine are already fixed, each and everyone of them has it's own story to tell

WolfyOne · 03-18-2011, 04:42 PM

daisy, I have a dozen resue cats and have tried more brands of cat litter than I care to name
The one I find that works the best is Fresh Step

BTW, don't know if greenies are bad for cats, but they are for dogs
I've read some horror stories about dogs dying from them

In other news, I took a 3 hour round trip ride to my vet today
I have a cat that needs an allergy shot on a monthly basis
She happens to be a Drama Queen when it comes to pills
Every time I've tried to get half an allergy pill in her, she foams at the mouth
When this shot wears off, I'm going to try childrens liquid allergy medicine
My cats happen to adore my vet and even though I moved out of that town, I have an obligation to my cats
It also gave me a reason to see one of my old rescues that my vet took in
All I have to do is whistle and he still comes a running
My country vet has her practice on the same property she lives on
Jr who is the rescue, wanted to stay outside and she has 5 or so acres
He follows her around like a dog when she does her chores
Anyhow, it was nice being able to pet him today

daisygrrl · 03-18-2011, 04:52 PM

Rescues are the bestest!

Oh, gosh, I've never heard anything negative about Greenies--but I'll look into it, Wolfy--thanks!

Aww, poor Queenie... you've, no doubt, even tried those pill hider thingies (pill pockets, I believe)... not sure if anyone else has any ideas on the subject.

Jr. sounds absolutely adorable...

What is a pill pocket?
I'd try it on Sophie if I think it really worked
I tried a pill pusher I got from the vet and couldn't use it like her
So, that was a bust and waste of money, lol

If you google Greenies and medical problems for dogs, you'll read what I mean
I can't in good mind feed them to my cats knowing what they do to dogs
And FYI, my rescues get only Science Diet, they go through 3 big bags a month
So spoiled being indoors that they don't even try and get out when the front door opens

A Pill Pocket is a nifty little treat where you can hide the meds; while the ones that I've seen are Greenies, I know there are other brands...

Daisy, who's going to investigate Greenies now...

We have three cats. Well, one is deceased for a number of years, but she's still so present in our hearts. Her name is Cloud. Cloud and her daughter Frou Frou came to me from a co-worker whose fiance was allergic. Cloud had been a homeless cat who got pregnant on the street quite young. She was tiny yet LOVED food. What a wonderful cat. She used to lick my eyelashes. Need I say more. Cloud's daughter Frou Frou misses her mother and is very attached to me (and of course the feeling is mutual). Her latest interest is watching bird videos on Youtube. Our third cat Phoebe was brought into the relationship by BB (a rescue cat). She has one of those great loud motor-like purrs and sleeps in my arms like a teddy bear. My cats never bore me. If I had my druthers, I'd play with them all day every day

. Oh, and I recommend three tiered sturdy cat condos. Both our cats adore the condo we have.

lipstixgal · 03-23-2011, 11:23 AM

My girlfriend has 4 cats and loves them to death. I used to have Himalayans and love them too they are so beautiful and would love to adopt one for my home but if she should move in there will be four cats and a dog Molly a JRT who is 10 years old. We would have some family here with all those animals but it would be fun. I miss having cats and enjoy all the posts about them..

Glenn · 03-23-2011, 12:37 PM

My kids are Taurus's.. all seven! Any Taurus's out there? You know what I mean..they're all about the best food-human and animal, making love, the best furniture to sleep on, hunting, and doing/watching everything I do, and getting all possessive too lol!

Would you believe when I was a child I use to call my siamese cat Mr. Foo Foo?

turasultana · 03-23-2011, 02:04 PM

We have 6.

2 started out as mine - Pukis (pookie) and Esmeralda.
Pookie is about 13 and is a grey tabbie found on the street in the lower east side at about 5weeks. She's getting older but still has running fits and loves catnip and keeping everyone in line. Esme is a calico from Barc shelter in Brooklyn - she's about 6 now i think and loves to head butt you when you don't expect it. She never meows. ever.

3 came with the butch

Zoey - orange and white, not sure the age - street kitty now lovey dovey thing. Molly - sweetest cat ever - very gentle - about 4 yrs old - grey tabbie, Shane - she's a butch kitty. Tortoiseshell and bossy.

youngest is Morgan -a black kitty about a year old now. Found taped up in box in the street/trash. people are assholes. She's the coolest kitten ever. She loves squishy balls and hair ties and will fetch them repeatedly for you to throw. and throw. and throw. She also drops them on your head while you are sleeping. Recently she's decided 4Am is a good time to wake up at which point she climbs on me nuzzles my neck, purring loudly, and starts licking my nose, eyelids, chin...

they pee and poop a lot. i believe my main role in life is litter scooper.
