All that talk about cat poo and Ophelia didn't go for over 48 hours, but this morning she had her first normal deposit in over a week. She was justly proud of her self.

OG, she probably had nothing left in her to get out, if you know what I mean. Kinda like us... when we have a bout of intestinal distress, we really get "cleaned out." It takes a couple of days for things to "build up" again, if you know what I mean. And yeah, gross! But no matter, glad she's doing well and is proud of herself!

funny how so many of us are having our cats come down with Kidney disease ALL at the same time. methinks that more foods are causing trouble then were listed. Mind you it could be coincidence **** As for Animal diarrhea, Rice is good for dog due to the kind of bacteria that causes the problem. actually, people are told to stick to White rice and White fish after bouts with C. difficile. While with cats, a high protein food like Pumpkin or chicken is needed to help resolve the issue. Rice is a part of natural foods for animals. I really am considering making homemade food again. I'm just entirely sure how to adjust the recipe for Kidney problems.

I getta kick out of the PC/ cat pics. My cats dont care. the most interest either of them show is when they bat at my leg with claws bared hoping to get my attention for a quick petting.

Horrifying story here - one of my boys is going to spend the rest of his 9 lives trying to get off my active shit list. We have a deck with a second-story window overhead that overlooks the lake. The kitties like to hang out in the windows up there, and it's too high for them to jump out, so we regularly open the windows and let them catch the breeze. There are no screens. Wargod the duck lost her early clutch of ducklings, and now she has a brand-new batch, about 2 weeks old or so. She's already lost 4 of the 7 in this batch. Last night we had company and decided to sit out on the deck to enjoy the lake and a beautiful evening. Colossus put up our ginormous umbrella to shield the sun. While Colossus was inside otherwise occupied, I sat out back with our friends chatting. Wargod came up very proudly with her little ones looking for a bit of chicken scratch. We were all "how cuting" it when the umbrella lurched and all hell broke loose. You know where this is going, and it ain't good. Puss took a flying leap out of the window onto the umbrella, raced across the canvass, jumped from the umbrella to the deck and down onto a duckling before any of us knew what was happening. The duckling was immediately killed. I started yelling for Colossus, or rather I started FREAKING OUT, and then I uber-freaked when Puss jumped up on the deck with the poor little guy in his mouth. Colossus opened the door, and Puss trotted pretty as you please into the house with his present for his Dad. I am so upset and angry. I cannot believe my own cat murdered one of Wargod's babies. I don't think there's anything Puss could do that would hurt me more. And we are so careful to never let him go outside when he is home, he's never even made his way out the door here unless in a carrier. Fortunately our friends weren't disturbed by the scene, they have animals too. I was so traumatized, though, that everyone spent a good portion of the evening trying to cheer me up. Puss, on the otherhand, was entirely pleased with himself and decided to celebrate by destroying my wedding flowers. I guess he figured he was already in the doghouse, he may as well make it count. I'm not Puss' biggest fan right now.

GAL, sounds like jail bars screens are in order. Try to forgive him; those instincts do kick in and where you all saw "cute", he saw "I'll be a hero". I'd have been every bit as much freaked out, of course. Weinermr, oh how wonderful!! Looks like Miss Medley picked her out and would approve. She is SO sweet and what a wonderful mom and dad she will have

Weiner, she is adorable!!!! She just looks so loveable! Ya say if all goes well.....is she from a shelter? keeping fingers crossed that she becomes part of your family soon Gal, that is so heartbreaking when one of our babies attacks a bird. I know its nature but it always breaks my heart (((Gal)))

GAL I know how bad you feel. Our Seattle home had a big 6 foot fenced back yard..I thought it was safe for our little tortie manx to be outside while I was working in the yard. She brought me a robin still alive, barely. I couldn't stop crying but I promised that I would never allow this hunter outside again...and she never was. It was hard for me to snuggle with her for a couple of days, DH had to fill in.

You know, I *wish* my cats knew what they were supposed to do as cats. I had a vole in the house this past winter (came in through the 60-year-old heating vent behind my hutch -- a vent I have since replaced), and while they cornered it in the hallway, they just say there with heads cocked staring at it. Then it made its loud chirping sound, and they went running -- straight into my bedroom and under the bed. They didn't come back out until after I finally managed to chase the varmint back behind the hutch...

That is so funny. That is how my persians would act. But I think some cats are hunters no matter how much you feed them and keep them entertained. And I firmly believe those hunters should be under "house arrest". Plus they are safer if kept inside.

what is a chirping vole? I was thinking typo and Mole, but the chirping has thrown me off. ** yeah, i hate seeing the critters that the cats massacre when they are outside. Whiskers came in the house last summer and threw a completely unhurt Shrew at my feet. The shrew of course starting running around the Room at an amazing speed. After moving some furniture I scooped it up and let it go outside and Locked cats IN. i dont know. If I dont see it, it doesnt bother me. however, Whiskers is very aggressive and when i first got him he would attack my Chickens! They were pretty well the same size as him. Catz are crazy IMHO. Predators which we convince ourselves have been domesticated....and i think they just fool us.

Naiya likes to catch/kill lizards. She doesn't have a yard to go out into, but when the weather is nice, I would sometimes let her out onto the balcony. The last two times, however, I found her playing inside with bloody lizards she'd caught. I found the first one too late, but the second one was still very much alive. She'd only managed to bite off its tail at that point. I put it back outside and it ran away. She's been confined to the apartment ever since.
