Dipo the only way I can give Eddie liquid meds is by wrapping him up burrito style. But I don't/can't use a towel, he can get out of it. I use a sheet so I can wrap it numerous times.

OK so I'm trying not to be the obnoxious aunt who posts too many pictures but this pic of "Larry" is just too cute. He was laying on his back sleeping, and had his front paws together like he was praying. I sure hope I get to see them before they are old enough to be given away!

Dipo - what works for me is I put a towel on the kitchen counter and put the cat up there. Then I can lean down on them with a lot of my body weight and hold them down and with my left hand I hold the head and force the mouth open. Then with the right hand I drizzle the liquid into their mouth a little at a time towards the back of the mouth. Maybe they are both just used to being medicated, but I don't have too many problems.

Happymom - thanks. The vet will be calling either later today or tomorrow.

thank you all!!! I have to give .3 whatevers today and tomorrow, then I get to switch to Monday, Wednesday, Friday!! The medicine is just to make his mouth feel better until he can have his dental surgery so it isn't too critical. I will try the kitty burito - see if that works, and maybe I can get some of it in him!!

Dipo I sit on the floor and have the cat between my legs and use one hand to pull his head back a little and the other to shoot 1/2 the medicine. Let him swallow that down then give him the other half. He always have UTI so he may be used to it by now.

my TomCat is such a sweet cat. I went out and poured some food in his bowl tonight. I came back in and looked out, here he came! LOL I opened the front door so I could pet his head. He just loves the attention. My dogs were trying to get close enough to sniff him, they were being pretty funny, at least they weren't barking. I took another picture of the cat today. I'll have to get it on the computer soon.

Love the kitten pictures!

Saxy - How about Mosey? It means to stroll, wander, or roam which he seems to do from house to house. Would work for a girl too.

Those are beautiful cats on that page, Miz!

I just went out to feed the kitty. As soon as I poured the food in the bowl, he came trotting up. He looked pretty ratty, so I gave him a little brushing. He really does need a shave. I think that the weather is warm enough now to do that too.

Now.. This cat drools.. anyone have any suggestions as to why it might be doing that? It's a drool that just kinda hangs off its mouth.

Onn a side note, I *do* wash my hands after touching this cat, since I don't know where it's been.

Is he drooling while you're petting him? If so, it just means he's content and enjoying the attention.

Have a question....Am considering getting a kitten/playmate for my 2 year old neutered male. Anyone know if he'd get along better with a female or another male? I feel guilty leaving him home alone when I leave for a few days and thought this might help.

Alwayz, getting any adult cat to accept another cat/kitten is always interesting. It may work...it may not work. The best thing would be if you could get another cat that could go back to its original home if it didn't work out with your cat. As long as both are neutered/spayed it probably wouldn't much matter the sex. Keep us posted on how things work out.

Do remember to introduce them very slowly over a period of days.

Mizinvancouver, just a hint how to post a smaller url address.

Either use:

1. \ newurl{ your URL code here , Name you choose to call the URL here}

(WITHOUT any of the spacing shown above)

OR

Visit the TINY URL site HERE and dump the URL you copied in the cell at the top of the page. It will be transformed into a very small string of coding which will not stretch out the thread.

Thanks Herckleperckle, I didn't know that about posting links.

Saxywildcat--I had a cat who would drool. She was an attention mongrol and when she got it she would salivate. Sometimes it would stay as small little balls of saliva until it got a little bigger and dropped. LOL Your new kitty has probably been starved for affection and now is just overcome with joy! Keep it up!! Are you doggies still curious about the new kitty? Is the kitty scared of the doggies?
