Awwww, poor thing.

Lobster, I don't know about eggplant, but my sister's cat goes completly bonkers for green olives.

We discovered this at one Thanksgiving. He gets really hyper like he is on coke or something and then he bats them all around the room acting as if the olive is a mouse. He even toys with his prey before killing it.

We put the platter on top of the refrigerator to keep it out of his reach, and he was going crazy trying to get up on top to get to them.

My sister doesn't like to give him any, she figures they must be bad for him, but once in a while I will sneak him one. It is hysterical watching him.

Hi

For anyone who cares, I just thought I would let you know that Frosty is coming around. He really likes us people (except not my husband too much yet). He is still very shy & hissy towards my resident cat. Luckily she doesn't seem to be too freaked by him. There is still much hissing when they see each other, but nothing too loud. Neither cat is very aggressive. If anyone has any more suggestions, that would be great. I am sure time is the big thing. And right now the door to the room Frosty started out in is opened all day. I still shut him in at night so he doesn't have to be nervous that my resident cat will bother him.

Juliboo, I hope you keep us updated. I hate it when conversations are started asking for advice and I never find out the outcome.

I am so happy things are going better for you. And I hope you keep us updated, even if we don't ask. We do want to know. :)

Good Morning everyone!

Thanks Mammy for the websites. They had a lot of information there. I went to PetsMart this weekend and ended up with Max Cat Senior, which is a brand Moon suggested. So, I'll just have to wait and see what happens. My old cat "Birdie" did eat some of it. I hope it helps. I can't imagine having the poops as long as she has and she is still pulling her hair out. No rash or anything on her skin! Go figure. Wish me luck.

*s* Jeep, glad you got some of the information you were looking for. Max Cat Senior shouldn't hurt your older cat, it's formulated for cats 6 and older. Nutro cat foods are the most palatable on the market, very few finicky cats walk away from it.

Hi all

Well Frosty was doing great. He was starting to make his way downstairs, running back up when he got nervous. He was coming around slow, but sure. He was rolling all over me, so affectionate.

Yesterday when I was at work, my son & husband were home. (Frosty pretty much runs from or hisses at hubby and didn't seem to mind my son. Since he's a toddler, he didn't much fear any hisses from Frosty.) Anyways, they were on the floor petting Frosty (who was fine, no hissing or growling) and when they stood up to leave, Frosty must have gotten spooked because he bit my son. Nothing serious, just grazed the skin. My son cried for a minute and since then Frosty won't come out from under the dresser.

Frosty is used to being around children, just not toddlers. He lived with kids that were 8, 10 & 12. And Frosty was never very comfortable with my husband. But now I am bummed cuz he won't come out when I call him. Guess time will help. I hope.

Well you got my post in your folder JB... toddlers and children completely different!!!!!!!! I have cat who hisses when he hears a toddler outside LOL... Frosty will warm up to them... It sounds like you are the one he is comfortable with... just make sure you are around when Frosty is with your toddler and husband to help the transition:)

Thanks moonie! Yes, I, for sure, am the one who Frosty trusts. I think in time, Frosty will learn that he can trust my husband, and hopefully he will learn that my toddler is pretty harmless. My other cat is sooooo good with the toddler. He (toddler) hugs her way too tight at times, and she puts up with it. She just whines a little and slowly makes her way out of his hug. I don't think she'd ever even try to bite him. She jumps on us when we are reading a book or watching a video, so she is not afraid of him.

But she has been around him from the beginning...Frosty hasn't ... toddlers can be intimating... heck, I feel the same way as Frosty LOL
