Kep - Great news about Katie.

My Lexie sits just like your Ally when its time to clean. Its most undignified for a girlie-girl Siamese. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning - she is in bed with hind legs spread east and west cleaning herself. What a sight to see first thing in the morning. << rolls her eyes when Lexie cleans herself >>

Whew, catching up in here so I got all worried and then less and less worried about Katie. I think you'll feel better if she visits the vet and be sure to mention the string too.. if she has somthing "tied up' inside, that could be very bad. BUT, very very good news that she is back to normal. It is never silly or stupid to worr about our precious fur kids.

Lexie and Bonza.. that is one advantage of a medium or long haired cat.. no matter how slutty they are in the way they sit or lie down, the sort of stay "covered"..

Well Katie received a clean bill of health from the vet yesterday. THANK GOODNESS!!

Katie is a notorious string chaser, chewer, roller-up-in-it, etc...He said its not uncommon for string addicted kitties to ingest their quarry. He did ask me to drop off a stool samle later today so he can check for blood, but he said that was just precautionary.

Katie doesn't like going to the vet, or riding in the car....so she repaid me for my concern by turning into psycho kitty during Survivior last night!! Nothing was safe from her mad dashing and sudden ambushing pounces, not me, Allie, Roomie, the verticle blinds, silk plants..etc. Sheesh, was it noisy in here last night LOL

Just wanted to say it was really nice to come here and have my fears first validated and then calmed with sensible solutions. Thank you all so much!!

I didn't get a picture of it because I was on my out of the house to head to church yesterday - but I caught Wendy laying in the softsided cat carrier I leave out (so it doesn't freak the little buggers out when it's vet day). Not sure what possessed her - but she was so cute!

Kep, I'm so glad to hear Katie got a clean bill of health! Every time I stopped by TVCH yesterday, this was the first place I came, looking for an update! I bet it was great to see her go into Psycho Kitty mode!

Kep thanks for the great Katie update!! I'm sure she's psycho partly because she doesn't want to be associated with Katie on Survivor

Critter sleeps on top of her hard carrier.

Jack is very hunky. No matter how much you want your cat to hang out with you in whatever room of the house you are in - we can't compete with the sun.

Sea... I just saw your earlier post. My Lucy is a long-haired (she's Maine - a veryyyyyy larrrrrge maine - 24 lbs. She's a big girl).

What makes it even nastier when Lexie ***ahem ahem*** cleans herself, is she chewed off her hair down in her girlie area so now we have *cough cough* <<< blushing profusely >> cat nippies (can I say that?) and she's not afraid to show them.

Nick, I agree, I want to come back as a cat next time. What a life!

Here's that pic of Boo in my laundry I told you all about. First time she had ever done that. LOL!

My kitty Leo is such a kick. My daughter made him a toy which consists of a long piece of ribbon with a jingle ball on the end. He loves that thing! If we don't know where he is, we just jingle that toy and he comes running. He carries it around with him everywhere and puts it in the oddest places. We said he looks like a puppy carrying around his toy. Well last night, my daughter and I were in the family room reading and watching tv and here comes Leo, carrying my daughter's makeup bag in his mouth! He comes up to me and drops it at my feet. Don't know why but it was so cute!

I've already posted the picture of my potential cat in my folder, but now, as of tomorrow, she's going to be my cat!! Her name is Angelina, she's 4 years old (est) and she's got lots of white with some tabby areas. Tons o fur, even after being trimmed.. don't want to take up space here but if you go to my folder you can see her adorable face.

Of course I'll get some pictures once she has settled in.

I'm excited, and of course concerned that Critter gets through this with as little trauma as possible.

I have to vaccuum the back bedroom and have another big bin to set up as a second cat box.. must grab a couple of ceramic dishes for food and water. Bought some cardboard scratcher things, since Angelina is fully clawed. Will put some toys in that area, of course.

I was looking at soft sided carriers but they aren't cheap and I'd better get her home and determine her weight and such first. Besides, my hard sided carrier has a towel in it that should smell like Critter and best to get some familiar (to Critter) scent on her soonest.

The cat rescue lady, Shirley, strongly believes that I must keep them separated for three weeks... others tell me to switch them off but I kind of hate to do that to Critter.

Seamonkey, I have four cats right now. And I brought them home one at a time and had to go thru this whole introductory period 4 times. (oldest kitty died a few years back.)

My best piece of advice is do listen to the cat rescue lady and do it slowly. Three weeks will be over before ya know it and it really will be best for Critter... He (is Critter a he or she?) needs to know that this new creature is not totally taking over his territory (at least not yet.) He will feel much more confident about the whole deal if he still has most of his home free of the "intruder" until he gets used to her... Good luck!
