Oh Serate, I am really sorry! I wish I could take them! I wish I could take Mamie's! But, I can't! They are really precious, though! How are you handling this having to give them up thingy? I hope you are ok about it. Email if you need a shoulder to lean on!

I'm just worried that they are way way too young to be given away. I've never seen them except in pictures because Fuzzy waited until I left Iowa to have them. When I left she was pregnant, when I got to Kentucky 10 hours later she had 1, she had another 4 hours later, and yet another 18 hours after the first. I knew that with our schedule I'd not get to see them IRL, so even though I'm sad they have to leave they NEED to leave because my dad and brother have way too many animals as it is. But it's just too soon.

((Serate)) We got Misha at 5wks which I thought was far too young, but she did just fine. She sure doesn't look so tiny anymore, that's for sure!! I took her off kitten food 2mo early and then switched her to "weight management" a while later and she's a very active cat, but she sure was packing it on! On Nutro weight management, her weight has remained stable at 10 lbs. Hard to believe she was probably less than a pound when we got her! I posted this pic in the "Memoriam" thread but I wanted to post it here for those who don't read there. I finally got a scanner and now I can post a picture of my sweet Jade (sealpoint Siamese) who graced our home for 16 yrs before Misha came in and created havoc. LOL

Hi guys, I just left a KITTY UPDATE in my folder if anyone would like to read it. I am a bit discouraged right now. I guess I just have to hold my britches on and pray that whatever is meant to be will be.

Thanks Sea and Bisc. She really was the most remarkable cat I ever had, esp. since she put up with little ones growing up all around her and she never got angry. I remember when I was a kid our cats (and we had many!) would say "enough is enough" and get as far away from you as they could.

Larry, Darryl, and Darryl are too cute! And their mama's pretty too. Jade Ling - what a breathtaking beauty. How you must miss her. And I love the fluffy Anabelle & Devo!

Ooops...didn't know the picture was going to throw things off! My DD thinks Devo is about 4 or 5 months old. She has grown a lot. My DH calls her a bullet because of her shape. Anabelle looks scrunched in the photo and is a big kitty. Here they are doing their favorite thing:

Watching, my DD runs the water in the tub for the cats and they get in and play with it. She said they both try to get in when she takes a shower too. Her only complaint is, they leave fur in the tub...more than she does hair. lol

Wow! Other cats that play with water! Our Maxine, now a little over a year old, loves water. She plays with the water in their bowl....the third one I've tried as Maxie dragged the first one which was a reservoir type around the kitchen spilling water all over (she loved to empty the bowl so that it would refill from the reservoir...she liked the gurgling), the second was a "fountain" and she'd put her paw up in the flow and spray it all over the kitchen, and now the 15 pound ceramic bowl that all she can do is slap at the water surface. Oh yes....Maxie likes to shower with my wife and would sit on the ledge of the shower stall if we'd let her. She also loves the garden tub but not with water....she slides around in it like a kid would on a play set. I love my cats!

good idea??? bad idea???? from Yahoo Cats to compete in reality TV show in New York By Sarah CoffeyTue Jun 13, 10:04 AM ET Ten cats in search of owners will spend the next 10 days in a New York store window, their every move caught on camera for a reality TV show on which they will compete for best sleeper and mouse-catcher. The show is the creation of a petfood company and will be shown on cable channel Animal Planet, as well as on the Web site www.MeowMixHouse.com where viewers will be asked to vote off one feline contestant each day. The cats, chosen from shelters around the country, will compete for loudest purr, most prolific sleeper and who can catch the most toy mice. Kitties who get the boot will be adopted into permanent homes. Meow Mix, owned by Del Monte Foods Company, hopes the show will promote cat adoption -- as well as their products, which will be the only thing on the menu. Passerby taking a gander though a specially rented storefront on Madison Avenue in midtown Manhattan can watch the cats lazing about a luxuriously outfitted cat-sized house that includes scaled-down sofas, beds, a fish tank (with fake fish), kitchen and a porch, all put together by an interior designer. "It's a Disney World for cats," said Meow Mix's Ryan Reed, in charge of ensuring the cats are well-cared for and well-behaved. Volunteers from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are also on hand to attend to the needs of the kitty stars. Enjoying their final day of obscurity on Monday, the cats seemed unfazed by attention from visiting media -- most of the cats were asleep on the set, which will be unveiled to the public on Tuesday. A cat named Sam, from Dallas, Texas, stood guard on the home's welcome mat while Romeo, a Los Angeles native, lazily stretched out his six-toed paws before swatting a toy. In the tradition of reality shows, the company will hire the top cat as "Feline Vice President of Research and Development," responsible for taste testing and product feedback. Biographies of the cats play up their personalities, but in reality, they're all pretty mellow, if not a bit dazed from all the attention. "In real life they're all very sweet," said Meow Mix's Keith Fernbach. "But we try to give them a personality for TV."

Welp.. somehow, Miss Leia got hurt. We aren't sure. Maybe one of the dogs stepped on her? Anywho, She is favoring her right front paw and limping a little. She lets me feel her paw. and I compared it to the other front paw, and nothing feels wrong. She doesn't pull away, mew or bite at me when I fiddle with it, so I am hoping it's really not much of anything and nothing to worry about. If she doesn't get better within a couple days though< i should take her to the vet.

I had Angus put to sleep this morning. His ringworm was just too overwhelming and I feel soooo damned guilty. I have ringworm all over my face and neck. I just hope he's happy.
