OK I showed Colossus one of the websites, he is HONKED that they stole his idea. He says the difference is he's going to have a transformer hooked up to his screen so that cats take a small shock for even breathing near it LOLOL!!

It wasn't exactly for cats that I got the pet repelling grilles. It was to keep the raccoons from breaking in. I'm sure hoping they dislike the grabbing/holding of the toenails enough to keep them from climbing above the grilles and breaking through the screen. I paid over $200 for each of the screens which also have heavy-duty fabric. Keep your fingers crossed!

I put a sheet of plexiglass on the bottom 1/3 rd of my screen door,its cheap and easy to cut,plus you still have the air flow in the top 2/3rds of your door.I think it was about $20.

That sure would have been a great option, Lake, but I really needed whole new screen doors. But, I'll sure keep the plexiglass in mind should the cute little buggers thwart the grills.

We puppysat my DDs puppy last week. He's only 10 mo. old and a bundle of energy. When he first came in Misha headed up high and was puffed up twice her size! I knew she'd be too nosy to stay hidden for a week and by the next day, she was venturing out near him, but still keeping her distance. By the middle of the week, she was playing with him - doing a lot of teasing. She'd start things with him and then she'd get up high from him and hiss and then she'd dart back down after him. It was pretty funny to watch. My bed was quite the circus w/the two of them on it and trying to keep one on each side of me. LOL My son came in on Friday and was shocked to see them side-by-side. She'd still hiss and growl at him if he got too rambunctious, but she was a total tease about it, since she'd go right back after him. Here's a pick of Kit and Misha playing. Notice she's not puffed up and decided he wasn't so bad to bat around afterall. LOL They're about equal in weight, too!

Well since Misha seemed to adjust to your DD's puppy, maybe thats a sign you should adopt a new puppy for yourself. :>)

Hmm, if Misha had a puppy to bat around, she might not eat so much cozy/chic?

Misha's a gorgeous cat. That picture is adorable! And now for your listening enjoyment, the musical stylings of Nora the piano playing tabbycat: Musical pussycat

Nora's good.. the student human should have realized that Nora was playing variations on "Chopsticks" and played that. Part of the time Nora appears to be playing piano tuner.

Well, I've made hints to DH about a pup since he enjoys Kit so much, but it appears he likes being a "grandpa" where the furbaby goes home after he's done playing than actually getting one. Maybe someday, but we still have our old girl Kellie who has been rather rambunctious with Misha since Kit left. Misha and CC.... arrggh... I found a hole in a sleeve of my hoodie and I only forgot to put it away one night. I think it's hopeless...... I think Kit might have even been here when she did! Accck!

that is the face of a sneaky cat who went onto the table, got into a box of Kentucy Fried Chicken that never made it into the fridge after we finished. She dragged out the breast and ate the whole @#$@@ thing! i found the bone debris on the floor under the Livingroom chair. Now for the reason I'm posting here. BooBoo has early Kidney disease. you know how salty and greasy KFC is. Do you think I need to take her in for a Vet appt? or should I wait and see if she gets sick in the next few days?

Proactive on such a fragile kitty would be best in my opinion.

BooBoo is adorable! I agree, call the vet and ask them what you should do.

okay, called the vet and they said a one time event should be okay for her kidneys. They were more concerned that she may have eaten some of the rib bones. So I'll be watching for proper elimination and whether there is any discomfort or blood. I need to be more careful about food. She's 18 and I think she's loosing her marbles. Last time she did something like this she pulled a roasted chicken off the table. I caught her right away then but didnt know where she'd been licking. I was heartbroken as I threw out my Grainfed Organic expensive Chicken. I considered turning it into homemade cat food then I thought BAD MOVE!

If she was an indoor kitty, I'd of just rinsed it off and enjoyed.

, yeah I thought about boiling the heck out of it and making soup but....i didnt. Okay, I had to come back and share. Booboo is happily galloping around. However, she keeps passing huge amounts of gas. The Livingroom smells suspiciously like Kentucky Fried Chicken and kittyfart. I may never be able to eat that stuff again!!!! ROTFLMAO.

OMG LMAO Sun! Booboo is adorable...even when passing gas. Watching, love the Misha photo. Elsa is getting very big! She is 9 months old now, so I don't know how much more she will grow. Our new fun time thing is, playing fetch with her toys...sometimes, I think she thinks she is a dog. lol My DH bought her these balls that have feathers on them. When she brings them to me, it looks like she ate a bird!

Please help me, any cat people. I did something kind of dumb! I cleaned my cat litter box out with a little bleach and dish soap. Guess that was a BAD BAD BAD idea as the cats have not used that box (I have another) but now I smell cat pee in the house. I can't find it though. I feel sick right now cuz I have no idea where the pee is! So is there anything I can do (aside from getting a new box) to get them to use this box again??? (It is a big bin-like litter box that I can only find on-line.) Do you think using that Dr. Elsyees' litter would be enough or did I ruin the box forever??? TIA!!!

Julie, are they using the other litterbox?? If so I'd try to rinse off whatever smell there is in the one you cleaned and then actually move some of the "contents" of the other box and putting them in the clean one, so it starts to smell like them again? Or if you weren't using the other one, try to get them to use that and then do a transfer. I'm not familiar with that litter, so cannot comment on that. Good luck and I'm sure others will have great advice.

What Sea said... rince the HELL out of the box that you bleached. You might even want to sit it out in the sun for a day or two. Then dump the contents of the box they are using now into that box (and put fresh stuff into the one they are using now). I used to use Dr Elsyee's (and loved it!). But I'm not sure I understand your question: "Do you think using that Dr. Elsyees' litter would be enough or did I ruin the box forever???" What do you mean by that? As far as the cat pee... you'll have to get down on your hands and knees and start sniffing. See if you can isolate it to a room. It's possible they peed nearby where the "ruined" cat box is. But they tend to go in corners or out of the way places (they are supposed to be bashful about that sort of thing). Good luck with finding it! (But do it soon!)

I mean, is using that litter in the box enough of a "coax" to get the cats back to that box? (Does that make sense?)

They are using that other box, but of course I am not sure which cats use which box. Or if they all don't care which box they use. I worry that there is a cat that won't use a box if a certain other cat uses it. I have looked in all corners and see nothing. Uggh. Cuz I do smell something.
