The collar was not quite as bad as it looks in the photo, Retired. It is adjustable and the problem was with the overlapping pieces sort of bulging, which left the big loopy looking part. But, I stitched the two layers together, which eliminated that and it looks and fits MUCH better. And, it is a breakaway collar, with an elastic band and safety clasp so that it will release if she gets snagged on something. I do appreciate the advice, though, because it is important to keep our kitties safe from accidents like that.

After a few scratching incidents (nearly all were accidental) and some curtain climbing, I finally got around to applying Naiya's nail caps. They are pink and pretty, she doesn't seem to mind them and they are doing the trick. I'm not sure she knows what to make of hearing "No" so few times in a day!

i have a new kitten!! again....so my ragdoll didnt work out...I still miss her...but that rescue group was AWFUL to deal with...they were keeping my check for $175, and my kitten for at least six weeks...I just got really uneasy with them, so i decided not to take her back...six weeks of isolation would really set her back..and I know they will find a good home for her if when/if she is ever ready to be adopted again....Ive cleaned and bleached my house from top to bottom and lost about $100 in cleaning prod, medication and stuff I had to throw out...all that for having a cat for 5 days...annnnyhooo..... so i decided to give up on my ragdoll search...they are too hard to find, and went to our local rescue group yesterday and ended up with Gavin...now Bailey....he is three months old, and a tabby siamese...he is siamese coloring, blue grey eyes, and the tabby siamese have a little bit of tabby on the face and his legs and tail...otherwise he is cream. Now, Im not a huge cat person, but I love my cat(s) if that makes sense,,,,Im not oneto think ever cat in the world is cute (kind of like kids) and I have to say, Bailey is not as cute as my ragdoll...I lovethe big fat fluffy cats, like my dogs, and Bailey is a bit weasely....but i picked him for his personality...oh my GOSH...I wnet from my ragdoll who would not come out from underthe bed in a week, to Bailey who owns my house immediately....he LOVES his toys, my food, his food,the dog's food...and most importantly ME...he is right now asleep on my shoulder, slept on my head all nght...follows me to the bathroom...well..you get the picture....so I have my new kitten/weasel attached at my hip, or any other body part available, for life. the funny thing is, i never thought of a siamese, and the people at this rescue group told me before i took him, I should go look at the other group in town, just to make sure...well they have a litter of 6 week old siamese with there mommy...CUTEST. BABIES .EVER. Huuuge blue eyes, so yeah, inthe next few weeks, this non cat person may end up with TWO kittens....I told them to call me when they were ready to be adopted....hey..they cuteness factor still works on me...so Ill have one cute kitten, and one weasel...I never said we were a traditional family..hehe Ive been trying to get pics of Bailey, but he is either toooo close to me to get a pic, or moving waaaay to fast attacking something (or nothing)...so stay tuned to the Days of My Cats....

Congrats, Christiii, on the new addition. Sounds like Bailey is perfect for you. Cdbga - you'll have to post a pic of Naiya and her pretty pink nail tips.

Congrats Christii, I know what you mean... I always get my cats in pairs to keep each other company, and the cute one is always the troublemaker and the homelier one is always the lovieduv. so go figure! LOL I think Bailey is looking mighty fine. Very exotic colours and facial markings. Looks rather REGAL in his pose... are you sure he's not King Bailey of 'Cat as Cat Can'? ... and not a weasel in sight. GRIN.

Christii, you need to get Bailey accustomed to a collar right away. I learned the hard way, my kitties don't wear them now because everytime I have tried to but them on them, they think they are being punished and they go hide under stuff and don't come out until I take off the collars.

Tonkinese temperement: They do have a strong personality and can be stubborn, but they are so lovable it's hard to get angry with them. Although active and muscular they are not high strung and are very happy cats. They are very social. They like people, other cats, children, and dogs. They do not like living alone without attention. Frequently people have two so they can entertain each other if you work. They bond easily so they adjust well to new owners. They adjust well to living inside as they love people. If left to roam outside, they may be stolen or contract a health problem. They usually play fetch and will jump to your shoulder. The shoulder trick is fun early in the morning while you are getting dressed for work! A cat tree is a good way to help exercise them. They love being high and running up and down the tree helps use some of their excess energy. They hate closed doors and want to know everything that goes on. wow! ...Bailey been here less than 24 hours and is this exact cat! he is attached to my hip...so much so that I worry about him when I have to go to work. (and he follows me to the bathroom at 4 am)..and he has jumped to the top of my tallest standing lamps, and everything else he cant get on....he is like on springs...so so SO different than my other cat, and the ragdoll that I had for a week...I cant believe how well adjusted he is here...so friggin quickly...sheesh! I wish I adapted so well to things!

So sorry about your ragdoll experience, Christii, I think Bailey's a cutie, his face has a lot of character. You might be able to get some sort of temporary collar until he's big enough. I actually made a little bead necklace for Naiya the first day she was with me, then she had her flea collar. I probably would have waited to get her a real collar, but when I went online to order her flea treatment, they had those collars on clearance (that is also how Whitney ended up with PJs...they were $3) and I can't resist a clearance sale! Whitney and Naiya have kind of reversed in respect to me. It took Naiya a little time to get comfortable being out in the open all the time. But, now that she is, she follows me everywhere. Right now she's sleeping maybe a foot from me. Whitney, on the other hand, has gone back to her normal behavior. She still loves our cuddle time, but just a minute ago, she decided she'd be happier napping on my bed and she got up and left me in here with the cat. They are getting along now. There are still little "battles" now and then, but nothing crazy. Last night, I was in here sewing for the longest time and when I went to check on the girls, I found them both lying on opposite sides of my bed, sleeping peacefully. They both woke up when I walked in, looked at each other, then at me and it was like I had caught them doing something wrong! Retired, these are for you:
