Tater, wish I could help but I don't know. Maybe you should post your question in the Questions to the Mod thread.

i'd be very careful feeding cats seafood from tins. Humans suffer long term effects from our high fat, high salt diets. especially kidney probs.

Cats will often eat anything regardless of the salt. my crazy chow=hound Booboo has eaten Green pickled Olives and once gorked down a plate of salmon LOX back mid90s. that lox was so salty i could hardly stand it.

I wonder if that is why she now has some kidney damage...or whether it is old age.

Hypermom's cat looks a lot like my Whiskers.

Here is a goofy pic of Whiskers. he was sitting so nicely and the Minute I pointed the camera at him he got irritated (you can tell by his halfmast ear and kinked tail. Does that when irked )



BooBoo looking Up at camera

she really has 'kittylips' LOL When she gets ready excited to be petted she sticks out her tongue. It looks so funny.

Oh, how adorable whrlwnd. The one on the right reminds me so much of the cat that lives at the dumpster in our complex (at least I assume she lives there, I see her all the time. I leave food out for her sometimes.). If I thought I could handle it, I'd bring her home with m, because she is just gorgeous. But, really, she seems perfectly content where she is.

Sunshyne, Naiya does the same kind of thing with pictures...seems like she always does the cute or interesting stuff in between takes. I usually have to get Whitney involved to get her to let me take pictures. Last night I thought it would be a cute idea to put Whitney on the cat ladder and get a picture. Of course, as I soon as I got her in there, Naiya got very interested. Her are a few of my favorites:

LOL you posted that at the same time as I was.

your goodnatured doggiedoo. it looks like the eyes are shut in two pics and one is like " PLEASE can I come down now?" with pleading eyes.

Meanwhile the cat is lining up Batting practice LOL

Yeah, Whitney is very good about our "photo shoots". She is so patient with me sometimes! If you'll notice, Naiya only does the swatting from the back, because she knows better than do get on Whitney's snapping side. While Whitney will tolerate a lot from her little sister, when she's had enough she lets her know it!

Love all the pictures!! Beautiful cats!!! I'm going to be puppy-sitting my daughter's little guy for the next week or so while they go on a cruise. We did a practice over-night a few weeks ago just to see how'd the cat and our old dog would do. Our older dog is learning to tolerate him a bit better and the cat didn't hide completely, but she sure did some hissing at him. He was barking at her wanting to play and she was going to have nothing of that! I caught them peeking at each other threw a crack in the door and Misha was there first. I'm sure she wondered what that "intruder" was doing on her mom's bed! LOL I don't think she'll be able to hide for a whole week - she's too nosy! LOL

I love all the pretty cats too!!

I talked to my vet this week. She's said it's fine to feed a cat all dry food - and it's better for their teeth. She did recommend I get a bubbler water dish to encourage my kitties to drink my water.

I got the bubbler/fountain last night - both kitties are already drinking out of it.

(My female kitty came down with her first urinary tract infection (UTI). The vet said not to blame the dry food - but I should try to get them to drink more water. In the three years I've had them they refuse to drink from their water dishes - the toilet and the tub (and the dirty dishes in the sink) are the only acceptable water sources.)

I know tuna isn't very good for cats - even though they LOVE it. I couldn't remember why - a co-worker told me one of the reasons is that it's high in ash content which can lead to UTIs.

Did anyone watch Martha Stewart today? She had various types of breeds of cats on her show.

It was very interesting but unfortunately the cats were not happy. They were hissing and biting. I felt badly for them. I don't know why they were so upset.

a suggestion Gina.(or whomever) Boil water first, then pour it in the dish after it cools.

My cats hate the chemical/ bleachy smell that city water has. Once the water has stood for awhile (like toilet or standing water in tub) the gases dissapate.

If your cats are used to soft food, they are used to getting their moisture from that. What I did with my cats was mix a tiny bit of Soft food (1/4 cup water plus half tsp wet food) and mix it until it is like a thin Gravy.

One of my cats loves his gravy and then will eat the kibble much happier. Booboo doesnt like it too runny so I make hers more like a pudding consistency.

If you know for sure that they will eat it all, add the kibble right away. Then it is like Kibbles and Gravy!

I love a relaxed cat. I feel envious.
