Something else about those soft sided carriers, if they have mesh sides. When the big mean and nasty carpet cleaning folks come, I put a cat in a carrier, and put both carriers locked in the bathroom. I have 'em clean my bedroom first, so I can then move the cats into the bedroom, let 'em out and leave 'em there behind closed doors. (Prior to smartening up and using the carriers, I found out how quickly a cat can dash past a scary man and his scary loud steam clean machine!) Anyways, last time, the eejits didn't finish my bedroom first. And so the cats stayed in their carriers in the bathroom the whole time. Kassie rubbed her little nose raw on the mesh. Kinda looked like rug burn, and it looked really painful. And I felt like the world's WORST mommy! When all I thought I was doing was making it easier for them to suffer the indignity of steam cleaning the carpets! <sigh>

Cats generally do not tolerate milk or cream, and it is highly recommended that you not give it to them as a "treat." wow, guess all those farm cats (multiple relatives and grandparents) who would get fresh milk from the cows should be sick or dead? I think that you probably mean that 1% and 2% processed commercial milk. heck, even people shouldnt be drinking that stuff. Blechh

Prisoner, what was in that article was just what I was thinking. Because they never used litter boxes the farmer never knew what he was doing to his poor cats. I expect the cats were never spayed or neuter either, so one would expect an explosion of cats in the barn. That wasn't the case as the cats had a very short life span from many, many reasons, probably not the least was death from an improper diet.

I've been told by vets for almost 40 years not to feed milk to cats. And with our puppies, if they needed supplimentation we used goat's milk as the base. Canned if necessary, but some of my breeder friends also had dairy goats. In nature, babies are weaned and move on from a mother's milk diet.

Almost all cats are lactose intolerant (for lack of a better word), especially when it comes to cow's milk. Period. Once a kitten has finished with it's mother's milk (or a KMR), that cat never again should drink milk. Prisoner's article explains things pretty clearly... if you don't believe me, start feeding your cat milk and seeing what happens in the litter box. And then ask your vet what you did wrong. And again, if you have the urge to feed your cat milk products, use the CatSip product that is especially formulated for cats. It's lactose-free and easily tolerated. <100>

{We know, Costa. } Friend of mine had a kitten that wasn't thriving. When he took her to the vet, he told the vet he had been giving her a bowl of milk every day. The vet told him he almost killed her doing that. My cats get the dregs of the cereal bowl, the lid of the Ben & Jerry's or the last few drops from the milk glass. They like it, but that's all they get.

LOL Prisoner. Costa gets about a pinky nail full of vanilla ice cream (much as he begs, he won't get the chocolate). He gets to lick my spoon if I've been eating yogurt. And that's it. That poor kitty of your friend's. And a whole bowl! Yikes! (Damn those cartoons, they really do put out bad info, don't they!) Weinermr, we're waiting for pix... tap foot, tap tap tap...!!!

LOL See, the problem is that I must be really bad at taking pictures, or I'm really bad at resizing them, or both. Or maybe I just have a lousy camera. I have a really hard time taking digital pictures that are postworthy. Anyway, here are some pictures taken this weekend. Sorry for the blur. As I think I mentioned, she is now 10 1/2 weeks old, and extremely affectionate. First picture, she is resting.
Second and third pictures, she's playing with a pen.
Next one you can see her beautiful little face.
Last one, she is again sleeping. The pictures don't show it, but she is full of energy almost all the time.
I'll try to be more creative with pictures when I can.

OK, Sea, these are really crummy pix, but... Here's Costa, at 8 months, when I first got him home from the shelter:
And here's Kassie, at 3 weeks. She was barely even 2 inches high then:
I'll have to dig up the better pix. And these are so small cause I hadda resize 'em down to fit (and I did it the easy way!).

Weinermr, Brussels is GORGEOUS!! So cute and playful. I'm sure you both have goofy grins watching her. Wow, Costa, they look so young, and Kassie was so TINY! They have sure grown into handsome adults.
