Amber's back home - or is she? by
---MIKE---
Amber had her dental work today. I picked her up about 4 PM but when
she got home, she ran and hid. Now, if I try to approach her, she still
hides, and growls and spits. This is not like her at all - she is
usually very mellow. Despite not having any breakfast, she won't eat
anything. I'm...

Right over left! by
---MIKE---
I brought this up last month. Both Amber and Tiger frequently lie on
their tummys with the paws out in front. They are usually crossed and
it is always the right paw over the left. Has anyone else seen this?

Pet Supply catalog by
---MIKE---
I don't know where they got my name but I just received a nice catalog
that lists many of the things that pet owners need. They have Wellness
and Felidae foods, Adams products, Frontline, and Advantage. They also
have grooming equipment. They are called Care-A-Lot Pet Supply and are
at...

PLEASE END THE "POLL" THREAD by
---MIKE---
This thread is clogging up the group (over 300 posts now). This
discourages people from posting as well as lurking. At the very least,
give it a new subject.

Phil, you recommended several super market foods recently. Were they
regular Friskies or Fancy Feast (or both)?

Picture of Amber by

I think I've found a way to send pictures without a web site. Here is a
picture of Amber.

Picture of Tiger by
---MIKE---
This is a picture of Tiger in one of his typical poses. I don't know
his lineage (shelter cat) but he looks like a Maine Coon to me. He also
weighs over 20 pounds but he has a very soft and rapid purr and his meow
is soft too. I'll send a more flattering photo when I get...

Mad man Tiger by
---MIKE---
Tiger is still mad. All I have to do is look at him and he growls and
spits. This is a result of a vet visit. He got his Purevax rabies shot
and then was anesthetized so they could give him a good butt trim. They
also gave him an ear flush. It takes him a long while to get over the
anesthetic....

Crossed paws by
---MIKE---
Both of my cats (Tiger and Amber) frequently lie on their stomachs with
their paws crossed. It's almost always with the right paw over the left
paw. Have any of you noticed this?

Strange eating habits by
---MIKE---
For years I have been using Melmac cereal bowls to feed the cats their
canned food. A few weeks ago I switched to small, flat dishes (also
Melmac) thinking that the sides of the bowl might "tickle" their
whiskers while eating. Tiger had the habit of taking a chunk of food
out of the bowl and...

Tiger had a rough day by
---MIKE---
Tiger (4 1/2 year old Maine Coon (?)) had accumulated too much hair etc
(!) around his butt so he had to go to the vet for a trim. He did not
cooperate and got more and more violent, finally getting away from us
and hiding under a cabinet. The only way the vet could get him out was
to put a fish...

Feliway by

I want to order some Feliway spray to use on my cat carrier. Who has
the best price? Dr.Foster/Smith has a good price but the shipping cost
is excessive.

Tiger had diarrhea by
---MIKE---
Tiger has had very soft stools for several days now. I think the
problem has been corrected by adding acidolphulos powder to his canned
food. I don't know what caused it. Amber has been fine. Tiger is an
inside cat and there are no plants that he can get to. There have been
no changes in food....

Cleaning hummingbird feeders by
---MIKE---
My well water contains a lot of iron. Bleach reacts with this water -
especially when it's hot and causes a brown stain on everything. For
this reason, I prefer to use vinegar to clean my feeders. What ratio of
vinegar/water is recommended? When I make nectar, I don't use the well
water. I use...

Tiger's diarrhea by
---MIKE---
Tiger's ultra soft poops were not getting better so I figured the
Acidolphulis was no longer potent. Sunday I bought a new jar (which was
kept in the health food store refrigerator). That afternoon I added
some to the food. This evening he presented me with a perfectly formed
poop (in the litter...

Amber is becoming a pain by

Amber is going to be ten next week. She has just recently started a new
"habit". It started about three weeks ago. She comes into my room and
jumps up on my bed about 4:30 AM. She then proceeds to slowly go up the
left side, across my pillow, down the right side and across my legs and

Dental cleaning - how often? by
---MIKE---
Amber had her first dental cleaning last October at age 9 (after losing
one of her fangs). I just got a "reminder" from the vet that she is due
again next month. Are yearly dentals really necessary? Amber HATES to
travel and the procedure is expensive. I would prefer to wait if it
isn't really...

How do I "set back" Amber? by
---MIKE---
Tonight we set the clocks back one hour. My problem is that Amber
usually wakes me up about 5AM. That's OK because I usually get up about
that time. Tomorrow (and for the next six months) what Amber thinks is
5 will actually be 4. I DON'T want to get up that early. I will
explain this to her...
