I feel so bad. I just closed the door on poor little Leo's paw. He was limping at first but seems very fine and playful now. I'm not used to having such a little kitty at my feet anymore. I was coming in from the garage with a laundry basket and just pushed the door and it went thud. Of course, my first thought was OH NO the kitty! At least he is okay now. I don't know if I am yet!

Sure hope Shilo likes it! We brought my mom's cat Fred over the night before he was fixed [easier to take food and water away from him and Eddie then their brood + my dad doesn't get home until 1am so eats then]. Fred loved it, until Eddie pulled him off. Not selfish, just jealous of attention Fred was giving the cat spa instead of him. *L* Aww Mamie you make me want a kitty - we got Eddie when he was 6 months & 8lbs so never had a baby.

I picked up the Cat Spa today but kitty has not seen it yet. While at the store, I found a great thing to buy. It is called Cat Mate (Automatic Pet Feeder). I bought the one for 2 meals but it comes in 1, 2 or 5 meal sizes. I bought the 2 meal because it comes with an ice pack to keep the food cool. The 2 meal has 2 separate timers that can be set for any time I want the kitty to eat. Purrfect for my Vegas trip. Thanks for the heads up Serate!

I've had a cat spa for years (at least 2 now). Mine both love it... Kassie gives herself chin rubs on it all the time. And Costa goes and bites the teething thing. But I don't think they use it when I'm not home (they say it'll entertain your cats in your absence! ha! mine sleep all day!).

Brand New Kittens!!!! I just adopted two new kittens. They are supposedly 12 weeks old now and siblings. I think in actuallity the boy kitty was added to the litter at some point and not properly aged since he is so much bigger and more mature looking than his 'sister'. My vet agrees. Still, they like each other, and that's all I care about. First off is Miss Cutie Boots. I thought I'd name my girl kitty Jade, but after spending a few days with her, it just didn't fit. She is just too darn cute and unsophistocated for "Jade". She's absolutely adorable.

Hey, that wasn't supposed to post - I cancelled it. I'm still learning to use the new digital camera. When I do, I'll be posting some very cute kitten pics....

I went into Petsmart today to pick up some cat food and it happened to be a day when they had Furry Pet Rescue animals in there. There were some cute kitties and dogs. I am ogling the kitties and the lady is telling me I really need one. I told her that we just got a new kitty and I already had two other ones besides him and if I brought home another one, I'd be headed for divorce court! They were just so cute though!

I went to Doctors FosterSmith.com (the site for the alpine scratcher) and to Petco to find the cat spa. I've decided to order the catspa and alpine scratcher from DFS.com. (even though they are almost the same in price...even with 10% discount on all items at Petco.com). I'll let you know how my calico likes her new toys.

I just thought to check in with the Cats thread, and y'all are still talking about the Cat Spa. And I look over at my little Kassie girl, who's laying with her head on the Cat Spa right this second! I keep a couple of toys in it, and sometimes they'll lay there and bat a ball in the flat part. BTW, I got mine at PetSmart.

I forgot to ask those who own the alpine scratcher. About how long does the scratcher last? (for one cat only). I'm wondering if I should order the replacement scratchers at the same time? Can I buy the scratcher/replacements at a pet store?

We are getting in the mood to adopt a couple of kittens. Ms Sweetpea wants Siamese, because her family had a pair of them when she was little, and she loved them so much. Anybody here have any advice/experience with aquiring Siamese kittens? (what to look for in the breed, good and bad, etc) Thanks in advance Edited to add: purrrrrrsonally, I'd be happy to adopt adults from a shelter again, but we've both done that many times over the years, and Ms Sweetpea has been pining for Siamese, so we've decided to get kittens this time.

They have Siamese rescue groups all over the place MsRuthie. They always get kittens especially ones rescued from breeders... I will try to look for some later for you SERATE!!!! My kitties are Spa challenged. I don't know what the heck I am doing wrong!!!! They don't seem to be taking to it They checked it out when I took it out of the box but they turned around and proceeded to play with the box!!!LOL

MsMoonie - Whatever happened to that cute little kitten that you posted about of your friends? I can't remember her name now! And I probably missed you saying something earlier about it. She was such a cute little thing. Did somebody adopt her?

I got to see her today!!! Saphire (minus a p, she wanted to be different) She is fluffy and so darn cute it is illegal! I want her so bad but I would have a shorter marriage than JLo. We still haven't found a home for her. She is a two hand kitten now so she has grown a little bit not much. Toooooo cute!

I've been a Siamese owner for 40 years. We have found because of their 'fine' breeding they can have significant gum and teeth problems. This is pretty common with the breed. We have to have Ophelia's teeth cleaned every year, which costs about $200 each time. She is now 12 and has only had to have 2 teeth pulled. However, if we don't have her dental work done in a timely manner she gets infected gums with a terrible odor. Also, she has a chronic cough which gets costly with the steroids she has to take to keep it under control. At one point this threw her into diabetes for a while for which we had to give her insulin shots. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the higher bred the cat, the more health issues you are going to have. My older daughter got an alley cat at the same time we got Ophelia and has never put a penny into her. If you have the bucks go for the Siamese by all means as they are the best cat going, but get a mixed breed if you need to watch your pennies.
