{{{Froggiegirl621 and Max}}}, everything will be just fine and I am saying a little prayer for Max right now that his surgery will go very well and that he will heal quickly and for his mommy, too, that you won't be too anxious. By the way, I think that you are doing just the right thing. Male cats live longer and do better after neutering.

Thanks Vee and Whoami! I called the vet around 1pm today and they told me he was just waking up and that everything went fine. They thanked me for calling and told me to call back if I had any questions. I'll be soooo happy tomorrow morning when I get to go pick him up! I miss my little buddy.

I couldn't decide to put this under 'cats' or 'dogs'. But y'all just had to see it.

...Ringtailed lemurs to be exact. I love it at the zoo when mama is running around with two little babies each attached to a booby.

My wife and I are cat people...we have Three inside cats and stray porch cats that we have adopted. The strays are like a 4th generation from the momma cat and kittens we found on our carport the first night we had moved into our new house.

Here's Sammie:


We got him a few months after we married. My wife's biological clock was ticking and she kept talking babies...I thought maybe getting her a kitten would ease some of those feelings. Of course, it didn't work.

This is our Willow:


Willow was in the second generation of porch cats. Somehow she had climbed up into my wifes car and as my wife was backing out the drive way, Willow fell out and broke her rear left leg...we took her to the vet and that's how she became an inside cat. She was in a cast for 6 weeks. She still walks with a limp.

I recently acquired Dolly, a beautiful 1-1/2 year old female Ragdoll. Dolly had been given a new home not long before I got her but was returned a week later because she would not eat. Her humans did not believe this and thought the woman just didn't want her. I thought the same thing for the first week or so. While she ate very little, she did eat. But the last week or so Dolly ate absolutely nothing. There was nothing wrong with her physically and she would drink water, but did lose a lot of weight. I was trying everything - pork, fish, chicken, cheese, eggs, chips, marshmallows, you name it. Finally, a couple of nights ago and after two days of force feeding (and I do mean force), I had some steak left over from dinner. I figured what the hell and put a small piece in her dish. She went nuts. I gave her more and she inhaled it. On Wednesday night, I took my son to Whataburger and bought an additional small hamburger and gave her the patty. Again, I don't think she even chewed before she swallowed. Last night, I bought some beef flavored cat food. She wouldn't touch it. So, at 10:00 p.m., I pulled out a frozen package of ground round and cooked it for her. She loved it. I put what was left in the frig to give her for a couple of days. I know this is probably not good for her because she is not getting the vitamins she needs.

Does anyone have any ideas on a way to make sure she is getting what she needs? I have had picky eaters before, but never like this little princess.

Kitty Update: He has a torn muscle. The vet says that it will just take time to heal and he probably isn't in too much pain. He said to let him stay in as much as he want to and he will get better, it is just a slow process.

This is my cat K.C. I accidentaly posted a picture of him in the "dogs" thread ... they were talking about large cats and I forgot where I was. My K.C. is a 17 year old Siamese mix and he's a healthy 15 pounds. He was my very first cat and I adore him!

Mamie, can't wait to see the pictures of the kittens!

Landi now that we are in the Cat thread please tell me about Maincoon cats. My neighbor has a wild cat that had kittens. I caught all four of them at about seven weeks. I kept them for two weeks and then took them to the Humane Society. They all hissed at me and ran from me at first, but slowly came around. Toward the end they were all purring and letting me pet and hold them. It broke my heart to have to take them, but I needed the large cage for my dog who is going through heartworm treatment. I donated some money to reduce the adoption fee on each kitty. I have already went and seen them once. I told them if they were not adopted out I would take them back and find homes for them. I also gave them a bunch of kitty and puppy food. Hopefully they will become more people frindly and find good homes.

Vacanick, I hope all my cats live to that age. I love white cats. One of the wild kittens I caught was white with a couple of orange spots. She was very cute. She did not stop hissing at me till two days before I had to take them to the Humane Society. Mamie I am also waiting for kitty pics.

Nansco, wishing the best for your wild kittens. How wonderful of you to donate to the shelter in order to help provide for them and with their adoptions!

I am very lucky to have my K.C. still at 17 years old. He's an indoor cat, I think that makes a difference. And maybe good genes, isn't that what they say about humans?

Landi, do you have a Maine cat? We have a local breeder here and have long wanted one, but the cost is so prohibitive. They sure are loving cats and even-tempered, which is why I would love to own one.

Edited to say: I don't know why the hyper-sensitivity on this name, but I can't type it in even though I followed Landi's example, tried hyphenating, etc., but to no avail. Sorry! Nothing like bringing extra attention to something with four bright red dots. Grrrr!
