Perhaps she won't.. if it is connected, I'd say she is "nesting". Critter had to go through a season before she was spayed.. when I got her at the pound she'd obvously had a litter and been nursing when they picked her up and brought her in. She was very sick so we had to put off even shots until she was well and then wanted her to be strong to be spayed. So I waited until I left on a trip and she was to stay at the vet's for the whole time. Anyway, she came in season in the meantime and was one miserable kitty!! I had only been through doggie seasons and other than having to watch them like a hawk and keep them away from any males, seasons were not a problem for them. Of course when you WANT to breed a
b!tch, she is likely to keep it a secret

When we first got Squirt, at 8 weeks old, his favorite thing to do was tear up a roll of TP. Eventually he outgrew it but only after many torn up rolls of paper, even though we thought we had it out of reach. Silly humans. Oh, and he was fixed when we got him.

Sea, if you say "NO" when you squirt the cat (or whatever other command you wnat to use), pretty soon you will not have to use the water bottle, just say "no." Like Landi's husband does making the sprayer sound.

Native, You can get her spayed now, but it'll cost a few bucks more. I'd get her spayed as soon as possible. She'll come into heat every 2 weeks or so, unless she gets preggers. And female cats are NOT at their most attractive when they are backing their rear ends up to everyone and everything in sight!

I had already scheduled Kassie for her "operation" -- she'd been scheduled for about a month. I think I took her in just shy of 6 months. Later that a.m. the vet called to tell me it'd cost a bit more since she was in heat. By that time, it was too late to say no! (Wait! Stop! Put everything back and sew her back up! LOL!)

At any rate, she may outgrow the paper shredding thing. Mine seem to run thru cycles... this month Costa really loves his fuzzy mice. Last month, it was his ping pong balls. He's been napping in my office again, but recently he'd been snoozing in his cat tent in my bedroom.

Oh yeah, Juju, naturally I said "NO". I said NO first and when she gave me that look like "screw you" she got a NO and the spray :-)

Angelina just encountered my downstairs fan for the first time.. she gave it a wide berth and walked way around it.

Oh and a really good thing.. Angelina has been using the cardboard thingies to scratch instead of the carpet. Lots of praise issued..

I have pictures of each cat's new favorite place but will have to wait until I'm upstairs, later on...

What is it that Landi is doing that her husband needs to use the sprayer on her?

I HAVE A NEW BABY!!!!!!!!



Some friends of ours found a kitty, about two weeks old lying on the side of the road. They stopped and picked it up. The poor thing was covered with flies, warbles, and fleas. It was so dehydrated that it's poopoo was like powder. This wonderful, loving couple took him home bathed him and nursed him back to health. For two and a half weeks he was very very sick but the last half of the third week he began to come back. These people know how much we love animals and when my husband told them I was looking for a kitty they said she can have this one if she wants him. Well that was perfect for me, a kitty that had a rough start for me to take into my home and love and love and love and then love some more! I am soooooo happy you guys. He slept on my chest last night under the covers with me and when I turned over he would climb back up under my chin. He already thinks I am his mommy and I just got him last night. As I type this he is lying on the shelf right beside me fast asleep. He scoots all over my hardwood floors so I think his name will be Scooter with a nickname of scooter pooter.LOL
I am so happy to have my new baby! My birthday is coming up and nothing money could buy would make me happier than having this wonderful baby in my home!} We think he is 7 weeks old. I will try to post a pic of him sometime today.

Congratulations Kristy!!! That's wonderful. I'll keep checking for those pics.

My Katie slept like that when she was a baby...did it right up until she was too big to curl herself around my neck. I believe that closeness as a kitten has made her the happy confident sweet feline she is today!!! I miss those baby days...and cuddle nights....

YAAAAAAA, Kristy!!! I can't wait to see the pics! Your story is almost identical to how we got our girl, Angel. For such a tiny little thing she is now huge!

Thanks you guys, and Twinkie your cat is beautiful!. I think my cat will be huge to, he is eating constantly. I am sure that is due to him almost starving. God I love this cat, I have done nothing since I got him but play. Oh by the way I have already taught him to kiss on command.

Twinkiepoo, Angel is beautiful! She looks just like my dad's wife's cat, Henry.

Awwww, that's so cute. And Angel says Thanks! Our neighbor found her litter out in the cold and she was the only one left alive, so neighbor took her in and had an incubator because she bred birds and bottle fed her formula and we took her at 2 weeks old. I spent many, many sleepless hours bottle-feeding her every 3 hours and teaching her to pee and everything else the mother would do. We know her exact birthday too, April 1,2000. Yep, an April Fool's baby. She fooled everyone. LOL

Henry
This is Henry

Oh, I guess his eyes were green, not amber. Anyway, he was a real character. His adult voice never deepened, and his meows always sounded like a little kitten!

Henry is georgeous! Congrats to Kristy!

My sister's kitty was like Henry. When she got her we could count every bone in her body through her skin. She was sooo tiny and pitiful. Now she weighs a "not fat" 12 pounds!

Thanks you guys, I wuv my little snuggle doodles!!!! I laugh myself silly at the chipmunks and squirrels. The squirrels will be trying to eat, the chipmunks will run up behind them and scare the bejeezes out of them. They jump two feet in the air while the chippies grab the food and take off, it cracks me up.
