Vee - Fiore's adventure - too cute!!! Love everyone's recent cat and kitty (OMG, Scotter, Kassie & Serate's new baby) (& "otter") pics! I have not ever experienced a two cats "introduction" yet as ours are littermates. But I am reading and remembering everyone's tales... Four years ago, when we "met" our kitties, I put these photos together and emailed them to everyone that cared we were getting kittens. Precious is sitting on her adoption papers:

Hey Bonza... A guy in my office and I were chatting about cats today. (Started cause he saw the scratches on my arm. Costa and I were wrestling this weekend and he won. But I got revenge... and clipped his "toes" on Sunday!) ANYWAYS... he mentioned he'd had a coupla Tokinese. And he could NOT believe that I'd heard of Tonks. And then, I see your pix when I get home. So I'm gonna show him your babies' pix tomorrow. Not just cause they are Tonks, but cause they are cute, too!

Long story short... funny smell in kitchen last week. Cleaned out fridge, changed trash can liner. Smell still there. Finally figure out it's coming from the cat cupboard. Where their canned food, treats, extra toys, medical records, and so on, are stored. Thought it was some opened packs of treats. Cleaned out the first half of cupboard Sunday. Yesterday, smell still there. Tonight, smell REALLY bad. (Kinda smells like bad fish.) FINALLY, I clean out the entire cupboard. It was an old can of cat food (from Trader Joe's) that had kinda exploded. Not all over, but cat food was oozing out (into a bowl, thank goodness!) and had turned moldy and smelly and ohmygosh that was the worst smell. Think cat food. Then think cat food sitting in a dark place for days and days. Worse than cat breath! Funny, though... while cleaning out the cupboard, I checked the kids' medical records. Costa's 9th birthday is Thursday (he was born in June '96, and I selected my birthday to be his!). Kassie was born September '98, so she'll be 7 this year. I can't believe it's been that long since I've had them, but I can't imagine not having them around at all! Funny how the little monsters grow on you!

Hey Costa... I have an external hard drive just stuffed with Tonk pics! ;-) And a good one in my profile, and then a few pages back in this thread are two classics, HERE. I'm glad you got to the bottom of that mystery smell! Happy Birthday to Costa & you - oh, yes, do they ever grow on us.

Oh, I love all the kittie pictures, they are all so adorable. Update on Blackie. He lost too much weight on the Vet imposed diet so they said give him what he will eat. His sister, Peanut, has finally accepted that she knows him and has stopped hissing at him. They actually may be a little bit closer, they stopped cuddling when I got them fixed, since I don't think he lords his "I am the head kitty" attitude so much any more. He finally has his tail back up in the air and is jumping up on things like he used to. But the vet did say he had a little arthritis in his back, so I keep an eye on making sure that doesn't develop into a problem. WE are all so happy now, to be back to normal!!!

we got my girls home last night after they had spent the previous night and day at the vet to have extensive dentals done. ariel had to have one tooth removed on her left side, and she is doing good with it. they're both a little drowsy, and kinda not quite up to their perky selves yet. but i thought you'd like to see these pictures that i took this morning.
this is ariel, my tonkinese, she loves to wear her little red bow tie, and cries when we take it off.
miss belle, a maine c00n, had to get in the show too. holly thought she'd look good in her favorite color, pink!

Beautiful kitties in here, Bonza and Landi. Landi, love the tie and scarf. My cat loves to have a sock draped over her neck. Then she looks at herself in the mirror. Characters!

landi, ariel and miss belle are looking especially lovely today. Glad to hear that they are none the worse for wear...of course, we'll want to hear about the breath test when it's appropriate.

Am I the only one who is *suspicious* of the claim that the kitties LIKE these accessories around their necks? Methinks it's a case of Landi taking advantage of their dopey state!

actually, ariel wears her bow tie all the time, it's attached to her collar. and belle doesn't wear a collar, but holly likes to play dress up with her, and she never seems to mind. i have said she's not wearing any pink spangly dresses (a la paris hilton's tinkerbell) to holly though. and i would never take advantage of my girls! they mean way too much to me. they're my babies. by the way. ariel weighed 9lbs yesterday, and belle weighed 17.15lbs.

Great pictures, landi! hmmm they didn't dress up for my visit, but I'll admit it was fairly early in the day and Ariel DID allow picture taking; we should have had matching bows!!

sea, ariel got her bow in her stocking last year from santa. and she got a nice catnip mouse too! belle just wears any old thing that holly will dress her up in. and if she stays still long enough and doesn't go hide. next time you're up this way, bring your red bow tie too! that would be an adorable picture.

Your babies are adorable Landi! Eddie and the kitten are getting along just fine - so well in fact that the past 2 nights we've let the kitten run instead of shutting him in the bathroom. Only problems we've had with that is around 2am the kitten comes into the bedroom and tries to find something to nurse on in my hair. As much fun as Eddie is having with the kitten he still won't have anything to do with me. But I'm getting over it. Yeah, and I have a bridge to sell you too! Kitty doesn't have a name. Hubby likes Zippy cuz he's so friggen fast [and Zippy is crew chief for #20], also Stewart, Stewie, Tony, Smoke. I'm not feeling any of those names, so we'll see.

I'm in the market for one of those kitty trees. I've seen some nice one's online...and then reviewed the ones sold at Pet Smart. I'm still up in the air. The Pet Smart trees don't look all that stable... but I can't judge the online ones all that well either... Any advice on a kitty tree? I'm looking in the $50-$100 range. I don't mind spending the bucks, but I want one that will be sturdy and not fall over easily....

Kep, we looked at them at PetSmart too and they were around $200.00. My response was "are you high?" So we left with a kitten instead. OOooo, real money saver there LOL. Walmart has one that's 7 feet high that's around $30.00 or so, but I don't know how sturdy it is. Colossus is probably going to just make one for us instead, since we have all kinds of carpeting and suitable wood in the garage.

*chuckles at GAL... I know what you mean about PetSmart... they didn't look all that sturdy either... I saw the one at Walmart...but when I sat it in the aisle, I hit it and it rocked a bit... That's why I figured I would have shell out decent bucks to get a decent tree...

Is my cat the only one that tears apart her carpeted cat tree? The material is the same as one of her scratching posts so she doesn't see the difference but it costs so much more.

Serate, I love the pics of Eddie and the kitten. (Zippy D. Doodah?) Landi, I love your kitty pics, too! And thanks for posting the tip about Costco cat trees. Gotta get over there.

You run over there, Babyruth, don't walk. MochaJuju and Jujuchai NEED one of those.
