Twinkie | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 05:15 pm     Moon, those kittens are adorable!!! I want one!! but hubby would have a fit! I love seeing pics of everyone's babies! |
Pamy | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 06:38 pm     Gina, I am so sorry, it is so hard to lose one of our babies. Good thoughts are with you. Ms. Moon..I am mad at you! You didn't tell me you had baby kitties!!!!! I want them all!!! Tiger looks just like our Tiger that we lost 2 yrs ago. Twinkie and Sia thanks for the pics, I could look at kitties all day!! We are fostering 11 puppies right now, 3 are very little and we are nursing them to health. We don't foster cats because I would have to keep them all!!! Hey Half, where's the pic of my Dopey that you highjacked?? |
Moondance | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 06:54 pm     Thanks Scrobb, Hippy, Twinks and Pamy!... are they sooo cute?!! I am so crazy about them! I wish I could keep them! |
Kady | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 07:00 pm     This has got to be my favorite thread. I love seeing all the pictures of your children. I show my son this thread with all the pictures...he loves it too!! {{{Gina}}}...I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Kitty. It just breaks my heart when one of us loses a loved one.  |
Srobb22 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 07:47 pm     Here are a couple more pics of my sweety Tiger
How can you tell I take way too many pictures of him!! Enjoy!!Hi Twinkie! Squirt looks just like my last kitty Candy - it could be her twin! What a beautiful kitty  |
Sia | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:00 pm     I've never posted photos of ALL my cats at once, so I think I'll attempt to do that:
<==Liz, age 18 years
<==Fury, age 7 years; Derail and Chiffy (sisters/litter-mates), age 10 years; Tommy, age 6 years
<==Milo, age 7 1/2 years
<== Tori (Victoria) and Paige, sisters/litter-mates), age 4 months |
Srobb22 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 09:14 pm     Aww! Your cats are so beautiful! . Fury and Milo look like they are related to my kitty - especially Fury and the same age too - Tiger is also 7 yrs old! I never get tired of looking at cat pictures - they always brighten my day just like the real thing |
Sia | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 12:43 am     Thank you, Srobb. Easy to tell which ones are the "outside-kitties" and which ones are the lap-warmers, huh? Milo is actually an indoor/outdoor kitty when it's not the height of flea-season. I MUST stop at the vet's office and get some flea-control oil. I bought the generic stuff at Wal-mart, and it doesn't work all that well.

Tagurit | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 06:25 am     I think I have actually figured out how to post a picture! Here is a picture of my Abby whom I think could pass for Tiger's sister. I have another cat, Cleo, but can't find a good picture of him. I am so excited that I can share my animal pictures now!

Pamy | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 09:48 am     Sia I love how you did that pic!!! Tag your baby is soooo cute!! |
Srobb22 | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 03:12 pm     Really cute pic Sia You were right Tagurit - Abby and Tiger could be twins - what a beautiful kitty she is!  |
Sia | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 10:51 pm     Tagurit, I LOVE fluffy long-haired kitties. What a beautiful girl Abby is. Pamy, if you mean the little picture of the grey kitty with the funny eyes, I didn't make that graphic; I found it on a graphics web-site. I did do something really ridiculous to a photo of my kitty Liz, however. Her eyes were really glowing totally yellow in a picture I took of her, so I took a permanent marker to the centers of her eyes (in the photo) and made pupils. Dumb me, I made circular pupils like people have instead of the long, narrow ones that cats have. The photo looks crrraaazy!! I will have to scan that one. It's in one of my cat's baby-books. (Yes, I'm serious; I have several albums that are nothing but pictures of Lizzie! You have to understand that I thought I'd never have human children and that my fur-babies were all I could spoil and love and raise. Now I have eight fur-babies, two children and two dogs and a disobedient, unruly husband. Who knew!!)
<==another cat graphic I found on the web |
Sia | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 11:02 pm     This is a portrait (taken in my home by a professional photographer) of my beloved Katie, who died several years ago. She was 13 or 14 when she passed away suddenly of unknown cause.

Sia | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 11:18 pm     Aha! I found the picture of Liz that I doctored really badly! Hope it makes you laugh!

Sweetbabygirl | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 06:43 am     Okay, I'm freaking out here! Harpo has a noticable bald spot on the back of his neck....it also has a sore on it. I thought he got it from D.P., as sometimes they fight like cat gladiators. Could he have mites, or could he have gone overboard in biting himself? |
Curiouscat | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 07:23 am     Sweet, do you allow your kitties outdoors at all? What does the bald spot and sore look like...any redness, swelling or discharge? Does he seem to have discomfort, like trying to scratch or lick/bite at it? If you're worried about it, I'd suggest you bring Harpo to the vet's tomorrow or early this week if it doesn't look any better or is getting worse. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 08:40 am     SBG, sounds like a catfight to me. |
Moondance | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 08:58 am     Sounds like a fight to me SBG... then again if it is where he can get to it to lick, it could be a hot spot... caused by fleas and constent chewing. Clean it with warm water and just keep an eye on it |
Grooch | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 09:00 am     Is Harpo fixed? |
Srobb22 | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 11:23 am     Hey Sia! I love that picture of Liz - really cool eyes I don't think it's weird to have albums of just your cat, if I put all my pictures of my cat Tiger together I would easily have an album or two He's so much more photogenic than the rest of my family Every time I am taking picture of some special occasion I always start and end my roll of film with picture of my baby Tiger

Sia | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 01:39 pm     Srobb, I LOVE that cat graphic with the cat unspooling the toilet paper. My Liz and Katie used to do that when they were young and mischievious!! Sweetbabygirl, when I've had a cat with a bald spot that has a red mark/wound in it, it's generally been from a cat-bite, and they get really badly infected. There's almost always a second hidden mark (from the other sharp top front tooth) that you sometimes don't find right away. Clean the would with peroxide (but don't use so much that the peroxide damages the tissue) and keep it clean. The other hole will open up, but if the place abcesses you'll have to take your kitty to the vet. Surgical powder/alum is something I've used on cats' wounds in the past. It's just important to keep the wound clean and doctor it twice a day at least. Hope your kitty gets better soon!! My cat Milo always has a bald patch on his back from overgrooming. No wounds; he just licks all the hair off when he's bored and/or itchy, apparently. Look for a second hole to confirm my suspicion that your kitty got bitten--or to rule out that possibility. Good luck. |
Moondance | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Just FYI Hydrogen Peroxide will induce vomiting in cats. They use it to induce when poisons are ingested. That is why it safer to use warm water and/or iodine Cat fights and wounds |
Pamy | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Moonie you are the best with cat advice!!! |
Sia | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 07:37 pm     True, Moondance, if you simply soak the cat's fur to the skin with peroxide, yes, it will make the cat puke. I suggest dropping drops of peroxide onto the wound from the end of a Q-tip that has been dipped into the peroxide. I'm not advocating dipping the entire cat into a vat of peroxide. I don't let my cat lick the peroxide as I'm working on him/her. I'm sure you have your favorite ways of treating wounds; I just think peroxide kills germs really well. The bubbling shows me that it's working. I haven't killed a cat yet with peroxide. I use it on kids, husbands, and my own wounds, as well. And we don't lick our wounds after the doctoring, either. |
Sweetbabygirl | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:59 am     Thanks guys for all the suggestions....I will apply (very gingerly!) the peroxide when I get home today. I put warm water on the wound yesterday...I didn't feel warmth but there was red crust, like it had bled; the area is definitely bald, the size of a dime. Harpy's appetite is normal and he has lots of energy, so loss of appetite/lethargic is out. Damn D.P.'s gonna get it with the water gun if I catch him trying to attack Harpy again. |
