Cool! But I don't even fuss with my OWN nails! You think I have time to glue artificial nails on my kitties' paws? ROFL! Well, I might try it once. Thanks for the links, Moondance and Karuuna.

Okay, had to post a pic of my new kitties! Misty is a calico with tiger striping, and Twister is a yellow tiger curly-tailed Manx, hence his name Twister for his "twisty" tail!

Very cute furbaby pic, Karuuna! Is Misty bigger than Twister? Are they siblings?

They are just precious. It makes me want a baby kitty so bad.

Karuuna, what darling babies! I don't think I've ever seen a calico marked with tiger stripes, too! Just beautiful and unique.

I don't think I've posted this pic yet, but excuse me if I already have:

Thanks everyone, I'd tell the kitties how cute you all think they are, but they have big enough heads already!

They are from separate families, but both from the Humane Society. Misty was 4 months old in that shot and Twister was 3 months old. Twister had a much rougher start in life, his mom gave birth to him in the mountains, and it took a while to catch her and the kittens to bring them in. In addition, he got really ill when I first brought him home, a URI and his poor little lips and tongue broke out in cold sores, couldn't eat for several days.

But he's much better now, and what a cute little terror!

Sia, that photo cracks me up. What cuties!

I love it when you catch kitties doing something neat, like yawning, meowing or - another fav - the tongue sticking out. I'm lucky to get my guys to even pose together. I liked your other photo too, Sia, with your sweeties laying near your face :)

I have four cats, and one has heart worms, he is on prednisolone. Its been a constant battle getting him to eat. He is starting to eat a little better now that he takes a pill everday. Has any one ever had a cat with heart worms and if so did the cat make it. Thanks for any info on this. Love looking at all the pics.

Nansco98, I'm sorry to hear one of your kitties has heartworms I thought (wrongly) that only dogs got them. I did a web search to learn more about this disease in cats. Here is a website I found with various links:

Thanks for the link curiouscat. I guess its just a waiting game to see if my cat pulls through this. If anybody has been through this please let me know how your cat did.

I don't think I'd posted this pic in the "Cats" thread yet. My kittens are growing really quickly!

Awwwwwwwww, I wish I could put my boys in a picture!

The other day, after finishing dinner my boyfriend and I were on the computer....normally, I clear the plates but we were reading an interesting article; I look over, and Harpo is licking a pork chop bone!

I screamed out his full name and he looked at me as if to say "Aw shizzle, the gig's up!" Then he started running, going back to try to get the bone. The bone fell out of his mouth and he tried again, but by that time I wrenched it from his mouth. As scary as it was, I couldn't help but laugh....you see, Harpy's a big'un, and seeing him run, let alone walk just cracks me up.

Any suggestions as to how to keep the kittens awake during the day so they will sleep at NIGHT?! They romp all over my husband's bed no matter which shift he works and he gets very angry when they awaken him. He stomped into the kitchen at 10:00 tonight to reprimand the kids and me about keeping the kittens out of the bedroom. He's shut the door, so I think I'll stay up all night tonight.

Thanks, Owl. Sbg, I'd love to see your kitties, too.

Sia, you wouldn't believe how badly I want to show off my "kids", but WebTVer's can't do any good stuff. My kitties are a 14 year old black cat named Ebony. She purrs louder than a car motor!! CaliCat is my 8 year old long haired calico. She has the most beautiful petite face, and beautiful coloring.

Owl, you can e-mail a photo of your kitties to a board member who doesn't use WebTV and have him/her post the photo. Do you regularly e-mail anyone at TVCH? I'll bet one of the mods would do it for you, too.

I've never seen WebTV so I don't know what it's like. I have a p.c. and like being able to use the graphics features. That's my favorite part of being a member of TVCH. I hope you'll be able to get a pic posted.

Sia -

I sympathize with your husband. When I was in college I rented a one room efficiancy. I moved in right after getting two new kittens. One was about 6 months, the other 2 1/2. My bed was in the middle of the room. All night long, every night, my kittens would chase around after one another. Always using the bed as a launching pad. If my stomach was in the middle of the bed, then my stomach was the launching pad. LOL - I loved those kitties, but it was insane. Since I only had one room, there was no where to lock them into. I never found a solution. At about 2 or 3 years old, they calmed down. LOL

Sia, if anyone is home during the day, play with them. Let them take bits of catnaps, but wake 'em up. A lot. And play with them. A lot. And especially do a really LONG interactive playtime right before bedtime. My two sleep thru the night. Well, at least until about 4am, when they wake up, go looking for a couple of crunchies, and then come back to bed. The let me sleep until about 5:30 am (and then my little girl is REAL insistent that mom wake up and feed her! Like NOW!)

But seriously, if they sleep all day, they'll want to play all night. So try to get it so they don't sleep so much in the daytime.

Gina, I lived in an efficiency apartment in L.A. way back in my single days. I was so lonesome because I didn't have any pets at all and had to leave my beloved Nermal (cat) at home with my parents. I can see how it would have been impossible to get any sleep. Could you have shut them in the bathroom, LOL?

Costacat, the wearing-them-out-right-before-bedtime routine is something I've done with my human kids!! You're absolutely right; it would work with the kittens, too. I don't think they'd want to swim in the pool, however, to get all tuckered-out before beddy-byes, though! LOL.
