this is my belle. she is a purebred tortoiseshell tabby maine c00n show cat. she was retired when she received her championship after kittenhood. her "official" name is Champion Napa Valley Belle of the Ball. She is 10 years and 2 months old, spayed, and in wonderful health. she is an indoor only cat. she weighs 17lbs.
belle only likes 1 thing for treats, and gets it about twice a year. cotton candy. since we were at the fair last night, we had to make sure to bring a bag home. she got all excited when we brought it out for her. as you can see in this picture. i know cats can't taste sweet, so we think she likes the disappearing aspect of the treat. but she sure knows what the words "cotton candy" mean.

What beautiful cats everyone has!! Half and Pamy, ya'll are making me want another baby again. Hubby has been saying no for 4 years now but just let me get him in a Pet Smart that has a tiny kitten. I'm sure I could talk him into it. He says 2 cats are enough. Not for MEEEEEE.

Twinkie, call your husband to the computer and tell him to look at this:
Landi, Belle is SO pretty and I think that is GREAT that she loves cotton candy. I happen to have some on my kitchen counter right this moment, lol. Good to see you, Moon!

I have 5 cats, they all came from the rescue group that I volunteer for - you can visit us on the web at www.fancycats.org. We currently have a GORGEOUS Maine Co0n cat that is up for adoption. We are in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area.

Loki is a good name. I had a friend who named her labrador Loki, long ago. Kitty, very cute kitties you have!! Sigh.. Critter and Angelina continue to battle and Angelina isn't real tractable.. I mean, I figure she's had some abuse from humans but I need to figure a way for her to allow me to pick her up at certain times and not hiss at ME. Anyway I went to Petco today for the first time since last Thursday and McKenzie was gone!! I checked with one of the young women who works in the grooming room and she said she did go to a new home!! I'm so happy for her.

Hi everyone, took Scooter to the vet for the first time yesterday to get shots. The doc told me he is going to be really big, at least 10lbs! He already whips me! I love spunky cats but this one is SPUNKY. He hides around corners and jumps out and attacks feet. No feet are safe from this cat. He also has a thing about my coffee station. Whenever anyone goes to the station he jumps straight up in the air and takes off to his his food bowl which is in the laundry room next to the coffee station. He does it every time, I don't care if he is in bed he comes a running if he hears you near that dang coffee pot. My dh thinks he is loco. He wants to play with me all the time but he scratches and bites. I try to correct him but nothing has worked. If he gets to be 10lbs he will kill me.LOL

Kristy - Scooter sounds like a sweetie. He should calm down in - oh - two to three years. LOL!! My kitten Cutie was a foot attacker. I weaned her off it. Everytime she attacked me I picked her up, dangling her in front of me and said a very firm loudish meanish "NO!" straight to her face. And then set her down right away and was not nice to her for at least five minutes. (No sweet talk, just ignoring her.) I'm the biggest softie in the world when it comes to my cats, but she was hurting me. I only had to do it a few times and she stopped. The first time she actually whacked me in the face with her paws, so be careful to stay out of paws reach. But it worked. They don't like you getting in their face and I never had to strike her, just scare the bejubses out of her. I also keep my kitties claws clipped so they are dull. They can still scratch you a little, but it helps when they are not razor sharp.

BTW - my kitty Max comes running, even from a dead sleep, everytime I use the bathroom on my main floor. He loves to watch the toilet flush. My sisters kitty attacks her humidifier when it gurgles. I think kitties like something about the sound of gurgling water....

This morning I was feeding Buddy and Juju when I noticed Buddy's cheek was swollen. With further investigation I assumed he must have an infected tooth, so I brought the kitty-tote in and loaded Buddy on the second try, hind end first. He rarely goes riding in the car, so it stressed him out and he talked a lot on the way over to the vets'. After a quick check the vet says, "No it's not a tooth, he has a puncture in his cheek. It's probably been there for a couple of days and now his body is trying to rid him of the infection." Poor Buddy. The doc squeezed a little and the infection oozed. He then got out an electric razor and shaved Buddy's cheek. Luckily the doc was able to flush most of the yuck out. He got an antibiotic orally, temperature taken on the other end, and a shot for his 104° fever in the neck. He never even complained! Not before I discovered his huge cheek, nor during all the poking and prodding at the clinic. I was shocked he was carrying such a high fever. Now he is being guarded in the house and he is not happy that he can't go outside. I have to keep his 'wound' clean, give him meds for a week, and pamper him, but he just wants to go out. It's going to be a long week for him.
