LOL!

Max is being quite the "kitten" these past few days and is driving me a bit insane. While I sit at the computer he insists on being on the chair with me. He's not much of a jumper, more of a claw-er! Needless to say, my legs are a mess! I have scratches everywhere. I can't wait for my little guy to grow-up...

Hey MsFroggie... just a few tips (if ya want them) coming from someone who has lots of kitties:-)

-Start clipping Max's nails ASAP ... just use regular small nail clippers, cut back just to the tip of the pinkish part-don't cut that.

-Get a small scratching post. Actually what I use especially for kittens but they love it as adults too is the Alpine scratcher Leave it by the kitty box. It is when they are the most stimulated. Or since it is inexpensive get two and put one by any furniture you do not want ruined.

LOL, congrats to Froggiegirl! Yay Max!!! I love that name! I had to smile, cuz when we rescued Hazel kitty, she loved to climb up on my legs. I had to resort to wearing jeans for awhile :-)

Hiya MrsMoon! Scratching post is a great idea for little Max, (and starting to trim nails while he's young too) :-)

Good luck, Froggiegirl!

I have never heard of trimming cat's nails before! I may try it...if I get up the nerve. I remember how nervous I used to get before I would trim my dog's nails! I do think I need to invest in a scratching post, though. Thanks for the advice!

Froggie, we use the kitty burrito method for clipping nails. Everything is wrapped in a towel except for one paw. Hubby and I take turns....holding the wiggling buritto or clipping the nails. Always an adventure, but its over fast that way.

Yes great suggestion Twinks! I love it - the kitty burrito! That's way I suggested to start now... the earlier the better. I have a few cats that will just lay there and let me trim their nails because I started early with them!

As you may have read in the update yesterday, I am missing another of my babies. It's been a week now and Frankie has not come home. I am thinking , that with Pacey gone too, someone must have taken them. I am beside myself and I feel like there is some dark cloud over us. My ds is so upset , this was his cat. He is a sweet and HUGE cat! He actually is about the size of a small dog! I am hoping that he comes back soon. Just keep us in your thoughts.

OMG, Mamie!!!! I am so sorry. That is the worst news. For someone to actually steal a family pet is so sick. Maybe a trip to the pound would make you feel a little better. Knowing that you're saving another animal's life, and I'm sure it would cheer you up.

((((Mamie and DS))))

Mamie!! I was so sorry to hear this. Is anyone else in the area getting missing reports too?Could there be some kind of other animal that could be preying on them? (I'm not sure where you live..) I'm so sorry for you. Last night I heard something that sounded like a cat just screaming.. but it was probably a racoon. We have tons of them around here. I was glad to see my cat come in safe and sound tonight.

Do you have any more cats at home? You may not want to let them out for awhile. The fireworks can scare them too.

If you've answered this and I missed it, I'm sorry. I have CRS too....
