Stunning women - both of you! Thanks for posting it, Sea. Landi - Ariel has magnificent coloring and is Ty's twin for sure.

LOL...I guess that I had not gotten this all figured out because I could not imagine why Sea's kitty was so obviously upset with her. Did you get away without a scratch, Sea?

that picture was taken when sea came to visit me last year. and ariel had already taken 2 pictures before this one. by the time this one was taken she'd had enough with the flash. and the claws aren't out, you can see by the picture. she liked seamonkey, just didn't want her picture taken anymore ariel's eyes are a soft blue/green. EXACTLY like ty's eyes. thanks bonza! i think she's gorgeous. ranch mink is a true name for her color.

Vanick, so sorry to hear about KC!! And boy is Pagan beautiful, she really reminds me of my kitty "Mystery" who passed on a few years ago. Anyway, I am here for some help. Blackie is starting to come back from the bladder obstruction, his sister has sort of stopped hissing at him, but I am having trouble with the food. He won't eat the stuff the vet gave me. He eats it the first time and won't go near it the next. The emergency vet (yes we went again this weekend) gave me a different food which he ate at first and won't touch again. He has eaten maybe 2-3 kernals of the dry food. So the two times I actually got him to eat was when he had his regular food, Friskies wet. I just gave him a choice of 2 kinds, half a can each and he practically downed both plates. I am headed to the vet to get a new one for him to try. Do any of you have food that works that is extremely low in ash? I have been checking the Friskies labels and it shows Ash at 2.5, 2.7 or 3%. I am going to go to the store and read labels for their senior food. I was thinking maybe Iams or some of the other brands might be good. This food thing is making me crazy, Blackie was lean when he was eating, now he is starting to look emaciated. I am starting to think I am just going to let him eat what he wants and have a nice life, then if it happens again, let him go. I don't like putting him through all the torture. Oh and he has finally figured out that if I pick him up he will probably get a pill, so now he is running, LMAO. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Dipo! Sorry to hear your kitty is sick! I would keep him on the Vets food and maybe supplement it with Vitagravy by Healthpro or a food he does like by mixing it together. Giving pills to pets is a difficult task, that's for sure! ETA: I heard Friskies is the worst food for cats.

Maybe you can get little sample packs of all the various brands of foods that are designed for his condition? When my cat had the surgery it was so long ago that they didn't have many special foods out and they actually had us feeding canned DOG food (lower in protein) or the lowest ash content and no dry food at all. Both cats lived on that for many many years. I t hink we also put lots of water in with that just to get them to drink more water. But really, see if he'll choose a food designed for cats.

Dipo, I think Karuuna mentioned earlier in the thread that her cat had success with a Purina Urinary Tract food for cats.

Since I was home sick today and Max was being extra cute, I decided to have a little mini photo session!
(Please excuse the dirty, ugly chair...the slipcover was being cleaned)
This is just a sampling of of the pics I took today. I think I took over 30 in just 20 minutes. Yes, I am a freak, but I love my Max!!!

Was it really warm in your corner of the world today, Froggie? Max's demeanor puts me in mind of my kitty who lounged about all day in much the same way. (It was very warm here.) He really is very cute!

Thanks for the compliments on Max! Vee - yes it was quite hot here today. I think it got up to 85, not blistering, but the humidity made it just miserable. The pictures showing Max up on my desk, well, he's right in front of the window fan. He's not dumb, lol! The last two pictures show him under the lounge chair in my office and it must be cool under there too because it's been his new hiding place these past few hot and humid days.

Just a hint re giving pills....someone recommended to me with Emmett's hypothyroid pills to crush the pill (pill crusher or just crush with back of a spoon) and mix with small amount of baby food in wonderful meaty flavors...Emmett laps it right up; thinks it's a treat, not a torture...also might mix crushed pill with furball paste and smear on lips and cat will lick off...I also looked into dermal version of med to rub in ears, but that proved way more expensive. hope this helps...

Landi, we keep checking, and sure enough, it is seven toes per front foot on both kittens. I have a very poor quality digital camera, but as soon as I, the kittens, and the camera are all in the same place, I'll post pics. I haven't had them vet checked yet, but that's a good idea. They are still to young for shots, I think. I think they are just now 5-6 weeks. They are sooooo cute and so cuddly, really amazing. They are looking for a home, hopefully together. They will make fine furball buddies for a special person. I'll bet that I could get a lot of takers here, too bad I live in the middle of nowhere.

To the person who was asking about a good dry cat food with low ash, here is the website for Innova cat food. http://www.naturapet.com/display.php?d=product-detail&pxsl=%2F%2Fproduct%5B@id%3D'2'%5D This is what the vet told me to use for my kidney failure cat. It has NO ash, the web page I gave you lists all of the ingredients. It is costly, but I believe it is well worth it. My healthy cats' fur postively glowed when the cats ate this. I can't do it anymore due to sheer number of cats I have to feed now. But my baby kittens are on it and they are thriving.(of course they are also on formula and canned Iams kitten food.) One of the very interesting side effects of feeding Innova is that your darling kitty's box will have a completely aroma, won't gross anyone out by getting real graphic, but it kinda smells like alfalfa. ETA: it looks like part of the addy I gave you is red and part black, copy and paste the whole thing.

I just learned that many of Hemmingway's polydactls were 7-toed. No so uncommon as it turns out.

That was an excellent tip, Clutterfree. I'm keeping it on file and hoping that I'll remember it the next time I need it. Thought so, Froggie! Here's a photo of Fioré lolling around in the heat today.
