Thanks OG, Bonza, and Sea We've been celebrating (and on the phone) all night...I'm just so pleased that the babe is going to be OK <big grin> She's such a little sweetheart, and a very special girl to me.

I thought so too, Eeyore. It was taken by a co-worker, and it is her cat. Just wanted to share for Halloween with all of you cat lovers.

Thank you, Calamity. She goes in on Tuesday to have the staples removed from her back. I can't wait as they look so painful, although they don't seem to be bothering her too much. She's really been remarkably resilient through all this. But no more injections, that's for sure!

Holly, that's wonderful news!!! I'm so glad she's doing so much better. Makes me wonder - My cat is an in-door cat and I'm late getting her vaccination boosters.. and wonder if I should. I suppose if my vet sent a reminder, she still thinks they should have them. She's a cat-only vet, so I know she must be up on the latest. I know she at one time said my old cat should have a rabies since the dog goes outside. Anyway, I'm just so glad you kitty is doing better and you got good results.

Nancy, you should give credit for you entry to Mark Mason's 'Cat Diary'. He frowns at people taking his work and not giving him credit. Mods, you might want to remove the entry. You can find Mark's 'Cat Diary' at catdiary.com. He is located here in Portland, Oregon.

Sorry, Nancy, in rereading what I wrote it came out sounding harsh. Please forgive me, that was not my intention. It is only that I have heard him take other online people to task for not crediting him with the 'diary'.

Thanks, Watching I think the practice is to give shots in the hind leg if it is deemed really necessary. I'd be interested in what your Cat only vet says about it if you get a chance to ask her.

Nancy, OG .. I put in the link and name, but probably best to just send people there so they can subscribe. OG, do you think that is sufficient?

Watching, I'd ask your vet and bring up concerns and questions. I know I goe a notice on Critter, but my vet decided she didn't need anything for now due to her being strictly indoors and 17.5 years old. But if she argued for shots, I'd get them.

OK, I went and subscribed to Cat Diary and read the rules and
quote:Please read the footer for important copyright information. CAN I POST THEM TO NEWSGROUPS? Regretfully, no. I request that only I can post the diaries to selected newgroups.
So I'm going to remove the actual diary entry and leave the link, above.

SM, thanks for looking into 'The Cat Diary' business. I thought it was all probably copyrighted. He is now on his second cat. Chance was his first cat who started the secret diary. When Chance went to the Rainbow Bridge he was offline for awhile, but then adopted another kitty who seems to have taken off right where Chance had to give up. I don't know how Mark finds cats with such a unique talent.

Ophelia doesn't use a bat either, but when Suz doesn't get up fast enought, Ophelia sits on Suz's head.

Hee! That would be why Naiya does not spend her nights in the bedroom with me. She gets free run of the house and I don't wake up to find her on my chest. Whitney sleeps in my room, but stays on her side of the bed and will just stay there patiently until I'm ready to wake-up. Dogs and cats are so amazingly different!

Question from a new kitty owner! We just got a kitten from our neighbors. When they gave him to us they said he had just had a flea treatment. But, I noticed a flea in his fur today. Should I give him another shampoo? Or does it take a few days for the treatment to take full effect? We put a flea collar on him too, but I don't think that gets rid of them does it? Just repels them?

Carrie, an awful lot depends on the age of the kitten.

Carrie, did the flea treatment involve a medicine applied to his neck, or just a shampoo? The medicine should still work for him to get rid of the flea, but if it was just a shampoo go get a Hartz flea etc. treatment for kittens and apply it to his neck between the shoulder bones. We've had a taker on Eightball for a couple of weeks, an employee of Colossus'. I don't think that's going to work out, although we'll find out in the next three weeks. We're trying incremental short visits to the employee's home. But Eightball and Max have become thick as thieves, and Eightball is every bit as social as Max, meaning he needs company at all times, and acts out separation anxiety if left alone for any amount of time. The employee doesn't have another cat to keep Eightball company, and doesn't seem to take much of an interest in Eightball when he's at the shop which is NOT GOOD. We're very VERY attached to the little black kitty, and I think he's going to wind up being ours. He is just so sweet and loving and thankful. We even have a new snuggle position in bed - along with snuggles such as "Classic Snuggles" and "Reverse Snuggles", we now have "Eightball Snuggles," which involves him sleeping between our feet while we wrap from the knees up. Sigh. We are officially the wierd cat people next door.

I'm not sure, he smelled like shampoo, but there was some oil residue on the back of his neck and they said that was from the flea treatment. The neighbors haven't been home for me to ask, and we are definitely not each others favorite neighbors - ha ha ha.
