Spanky is beautiful! It looks like Spanky needs some "me time" and wants Ginger off the computer. Very cute!

Spanky is 15 years old. He has changed so much. Since the fire and since we have moved back, he has become sooooo attached to me. He comes up on my shoulder in bed, and wraps his body around my neck and his head is by my face and ear. It is sooo cute.

That is an ADORABLE kitten!!

We will most likely be having 2 more cats (and a human) joining our household for a while. Eventually, DH's sister is moving out here. She has a cat named Peanut Butter and she is definitely coming, then my SIL is most likely going to adopt One-Eyed Willie. he's a kitty at the vet clinic she works at. He's still a kitten, just around neutering age, but I don't know exactly how old. He was born with a tumor on his lense when he was born. It looks a little weird, but I think he looks like a really sweet cat. The clinic will neuter him for free ad SIL doesn't have to pay any adoption fees either. Nobody seems to want to adopt him because of his eye, but he has really grown attached to SIL and everyone is tellin her to take him. So, she probably will. I think he'll be a sweet kitty. Here's a pic

Aw, she is soooo tiny and sweet, Urgrace! She definitely is a cutie, too!!

Saxy,

I think that is wonderful that your SIL is planning on adopting One-Eyed Willie! There are so many other kitties out there that need good homes. IMHO, your SIL picking a special needs little one says a lot about her character! Please tell her thank you for me and I hope you all will post more pics, soon!

I just did an update on Peaches in my folder. Since it is hard for me to type and I don't know how to copy and paste, I won't be posting the update here. But, if you would like to read about Peaches, please feel free to come on over.

Thanks everyone!

One-Eyed Willie is adorable! Wonder why they didn't do surgery on the tumor? I've heard that all white cats become blind, not sure if it's true, but Willie has some black. I hope your sil does bring him home if she is the one he is comfortable with.

Ginger, Spanky's lovely. I would have never guessed that was a 15 year old cat. It just shows what good care can do!

Urgrace--what fun--a kitten! A real beauty, and obviously very comfortable with her surroundings and family. I love kittens!

I also think it's wonderful that Saxy's SIL is thinking of adopting One-Eyed Willie. The physical anomaly may mean some extra vet bills, but the real question for me would be the cats nature, and he sounds like he's very stable & loving.

Saxy, Willy is a beauty. Your SIL is to be congratulated for adopting him.

Grace, I think most all white cats can be deaf not blind but I could be wrong.

Keep forgetting to mention my Sugar & Spice update. At our last vet checkup Spice had a normal creatinine level for the first time in 18 months! Other values are still not normal but she's come a long way. Sugar's values are all normal!!

Oh, they did remove the tumor, and then his eye kinda clouded over. Basically looks like it's all cataracted. I hear he adapted really well to losing sight as well. And, they didn't have to remove the eye either, so that's nice.

When I got up this morning, I heard a cat meowing loudly...which confused me when I realized it wasn't Naiya! I looked outside and there was a white/grey cat outside my neighbor's door. As soon as I opened my door, she came over hopefully, so I let her in and fed her (yeah, I'm a pushover!). Poor little thing...she's about Naiya's size, but is so dirty, hungry and starved for affection. She ate a bit, the followed me everywhere, rubbing up against me so I'd pet her. Naiya hid, I sent Whitney to my room, just because I wasn't sure that they wouldn't fight. When I picked the cat up, I saw that she had dried blood on her mouth and on what was left on her claws (they are so short, like they've been clipped...or just broken off) like she'd been in a fight for her life (or if she'd had to kill her own dinner, I guess). I put her back out when I took Whitney out, and then she just followed us, which freaked little Whitney out! I had to pick the cat up and carry her or Whitney never would have stopped to do her "business". And the cat seemed content to be carried. I didn't let her back in when we got back to the apartment. I just didn't trust that there wouldn't be vicious fights while I was showering and all that. And the blood kind of scares me, as she could have picked up something from whatever the blood came from. She really is a sweet thing, though.

Once we got back, Naiya wouldn't let me anywhere near her until I'd had a shower, because she could still smell the other cat. She kept kissing at me! What was funny, was how well Whitney and Naiya were getting along after that. Usually mornings are all about chasing each other...I'm always hearing yelping of some kind and the pitter patter of little paws running up and down my hallway while I'm in the shower. I don't remember the last morning I didn't say "Give it a rest" or "Stop it you two". But today, they were united in their feelings about the intruder and just sat quietly giving me dirty looks!

When I left for work, the cat followed me to the car and tried to get in with me. If she is still around when I get home, I may try to clean her up a bit. I have some of those pet bath wetnap thingies. Of course, neither of my babies will like that at all. I am not taking this cat in, I can't be a 3 pet household! The 2 I have drive me crazy enough. And, for all I know, she does belong to someone and maybe just got out or something. Naiya keeps trying to get out when I walk Whitney, but I've learned that the trick with her when she does get out, it to just go back in and start to close the door...she wants to be with us, not outside on her own.

I heard a great hint the other day...dab some perfume on your pets. Give them a bit of time to get the smell in their nostrils...then introduce a 'foreigner' to them with the very same scent on them. Sounds like a plan to me. That way you may be able to take her in until you can find her home or get her to a shelter. Good luck!

If you're talking about Frontline (the only one I'm familiar with) it will take a few days to get the fleas under control. It will kill the adults and kill the eggs. I wouldn't bathe the cats. Wait until the scratching stops to vac and clean up. When I used Frontline it was only to be applied ONCE a month. I hope you are not doing it more often. You should put it between their shoulder blades (separate the fur and apply it to the skin) where they can't get at and lick it off.

I don't remember if it's harmful to them to lick it. Read the label or the insert that should be with the box.

Good luck.

Tater, if one cat has fleas, they all have (or will have) fleas. I would stop with the baths and get enough Frontline to dose each one of them once. You don't need a stick. You just break off the top of the vial and hold that against their skin and squeeze the liquid out.

Pamy, I'm sorry to hear about Houdini. Hope he's OK.
