Eeyore, PussPuss is a neutered male and I just saw him spraying bushes outside Colossus's office. I was shocked to say the least.

I just posted a little bit of a Kitty Update in my folder. Also, Cheryl (CND), who is a true sweetie, will be posting a couple of pics of Baby sometime soon.

Tater, I have no idea what age you are, but in our community, the Senior Center gives out pet food and other pet supplies. Also, the no-kill shelters may be able to help with the food and necessary supplies to keep your babies. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

P.S. No idea what your disability is but contact the electric company directly and ask if they make exceptions for disabled customers.

Tater, I tried to locate a senior center in your town and couldn't find one. Perhaps it is not called a senior center? All I could find was this: Humane Society (South Gloster St.) 841-6501 }

Rosie, where I live, it is a County run office. Ours is called Genesee County Office for the Aging. If you find Tater's County or City website, there are usually links to all of the available services and specific offices.

Thank you, Huk. I was at the city website. Nary a reference to seniors or aging. Tater will know...

Has anyone had to have dental surgery for their cat? I brought Blackie home from his surgery last night and he is still kind of slinking around. He will hardly come near me for fear I will try to give him medicine. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had experience with how long before he feels better. I got his antibiotics down him, and have been tempting him with special kitty food and baby food, which he is eating. But he has decided to live in the corner in the closest today so I have put some food and water in there. He did sleep with me last night. Plus his sister is hissing at him again, LOL. I tried to wipe him down with a wet cloth last night, but I guess it didn't fool her. So any input or advice from your experience would be great. Oh, he had to have 8 teeth removed, some were just removing the crown (kitty dental info is very weird)

Dipo, when one of my cats had 10 teeth removed, she ate very well when she first came home - I think she was still numb and it didn't hurt much. She backed off on eating for a day or two, just picking at wet food here and there, and by day three she was eating dry food. Give it another day and see how Blackie is doing tomorrow night. PS - I have found that 'baby wipes' work well to get rid of that vet smell, lol.

You might even try, after the baby wipe wipedown, then wiping him with something the cats slept on, to sort of give him back the "right smell".

awww, that is a bummer, sea. To brighte things up thought, I decided it was time for another picture of Leia. More cream color is starting to show up through her grey now. She's going to be such a pretty cat.

Half and Sea, thanks for the info. I thought we were back on track when Blackie finally came out of the closet yesterday afternoon and spent the evening in my lap and then slept with me. He woke me up yelling at me this morning, so I petted him, talked to him and then popped his antibiotic down his mouth and back he went to the closet. Plus his sister is still hissing her head off!! We must have made a little progress because I saw that he had moved under the bed before I left for work. I am going to get some baby wipes and try that. He has to go back for a checkup in two weeks.

Stray gray has a chance to be adopted by a corporate lawyer (i.e. he could soon be living way better than I do)! *Sniff* Of course, I'm already attached to him.

Thanks, Jimmer (as if I had anything to do with it, lol)! Guess I never got over the time I posted stray Leroy & Trixie's photos and nobody said anything about them while gushing over other people's cats' pictures, lol. I was thinking, "Okay, Leroy just had surgery on his eye so I know he's not looking his best but still..." I get very sensitive about my animal friends, lol. P.S. This kitty has gone through a number of names but nothing's stuck with him. There's been Ghost, Smoke, Calypso. Pick a name already, lol!

He looks like he needs a name with an ATTITUDE, Calamity!! His pictures show such personality that I think he needs a really "cool cat" name!! And yes, he's a pretty kitty.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, everyone. I've been very ill this spring, and it's been hard to do anything beyond what is necessary. Anyway, here is a recent photo of my Emma, who just turned 1 in April (and is currently walking back and forth in front of the screen - she hates it when I pet the keyboard).

Calamity--Thanks for sharing the pics, what a handsome devil he is!! My friend has a cat that looks nearly identical to him and LOVES attention 24/7! His name is Tristan. I'm sure the Lawyer (new owner) will come up with a nice name for him. Redstar--Your Emma is beautiful, thanks for sharing! Glad you're feeling better enough to come pay us a visit! I liked your comment,"She hates it when I pet the keyboard." Cats are so funny aren't they? I love them so much!

Redstar, I'm sorry you've been ill but it's good to read you're starting to feel a bit better. I'll keep you in my thoughts. Your kitty cats are just beautiful. We had a calico and black-and-white mama & daughter pair too. Mom (Spot) was the calico although she was actually almost all white, and the daughter (Calamity) is a tuxedo cat. She lives with my mom and is 16. And thank you both, Watching and Mizinvanccouver. The lawyer says she wants the cat to hunt mice at her place (but he'll be seriously spoiled too). If he doesn't hunt she wants to give him back. Well, I know he hunts, that's why he's living in my garage 'cause I don't want him going after the birds and critters in my yard. But part of me doesn't want to give the cat up. I know my other cats wish he'd leave though. They all get along, there's been no fights or anything, they just don't like having to share their home, food, and attention with another cat, lol. Also, Taterheadtwo, I'm sorry I skipped the archive that had your message. I hope you found some help for your situation. P.S. Tristan is great name!
