Pamy, this is what I found on mange:

"The usual treatment for Sarcoptic mange is a drug called Ivermectin. It is an injection given weekly for up to 4 weeks. Most pets decrease their scratching rapidly after the first injection. Some dogs, particularly Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Old English Sheepdogs do not tolerate the medication well. In these pets we use a dip called Lyme Sulfur that is also very effective. The disadvantage to the dip is the odor it causes and the staining of white coated animals. All pets in a household should be treated regardless of whether they are showing symptoms or not. Pets that have secondary skin infections from the trauma might also be put on antibiotics."

About 2 weeks, give or take a few days. The more babies, the shorter the pregnancy. The less babies, the longer the pregnancy.

According to this site, "Cats generally have pregnancies lasting from 58 to 65 days. They can become pregnant at as early as six months of age and go into heat twice a year, in the spring and the fall. "

Dipo, if sis can tell the cat is pregnant, she might be pretty close to delivery. The cat, that is.

Thanks Lucy. Poor baby was worn out! My fiance's sister, 12 year old nephew, and 8 year old niece stayed with us for 5 days. Eddie had so much fun. He had a sore paw and was limping a litte, and his "Aunt Kathy" made a big deal of it. So whenever he saw her he limped so hard his face almost hit the floor! He limped a little last night after they left, but amazingly hasn't limped once today. What a recovery! *L*

Saying he's a character is putting it MILDLY Lucy. At least I can say life is hardly ever dull with him around. He can be very handy too tho. We'd get so upset on the weekends because if my fiance is not up and out of bed by 6am he will make all the noise and mess with everything he can. All because he wants to sit on my fiance's lap and sleep while he's eating his cereal, then Eddie drinks the milk. [sorry all you who have cat's who can't tolerate milk or quote websites that cats are not supposed to have milk. Eddie has never had a problem, and lived on just milk for 2 months because he couldn't keep anything else down] We used to get after him until one weekday the alarm didn't go off at 5:30 and if it hadn't been for Eddie we'd both been late for work. Now when he wakes us up on Sundays we get up, even if it's just for 10 minutes. Nice to have a non-electric non-battery operated alarm cat!

Thanks Serate. I had to laugh when I read what you said about Lucy being innocent. Lucy and Eddie have a lot of the same traits!! In the morning Lucy comes flying down the hallway to our bedroom, slides on the hardwood floors, gets her traction again on the carpeting in our room, races up and over the bed and over us. She repeats this bed jumping maneuver about 4 times before she gets winded. She doesn't normally knock things over like Eddie, but she's pretty wacky!! She's almost 2 so I'm hoping she calms down a bit. We're getting our floors refinished and I don't want to get any new kitty scratches for awhile!! She looks like an angel when she's sleeping, just like Eddie.

Eddie doesn't normally knock things over either. He was just mad that I locked him out of the bedroom - for his own safety! As far as slowing down. Eddie's 5 1/2 and LOVES to run and play. I looked at Lucy's picture again and it seems they are somewhat alike in looks. I think you're in for the long hall if you're waiting for her to calm down. *L*

sounds like eddie and lucy are both indoor cats. holly's ariel is like that too! but the same exact breed is next door,(her name is isabelle) and she's an outdoor cat, and she doesn't do the maniac running thing. we always says she's running around the ceiling!

i should tell you the NASTY things she does with my husband's sweaty t-shirts after he's been working. then you'd never think she was sweet and innocent again! i think he stinks, she thinks he smells like heaven! if he doesn't take a shower she's all over him like .... well... A HUSSY!
