Getting a quote for a fence by
dgk
I don't want a fence, but I need some way to keep my cats from
straying and I"d like to start letting them out. Around $2300. That's
two 25 foot fences with a 4' gate in each one. I was checking on cat
containment systems but putting together a decent one would be around
$700 and wouldn't allow...

She's so sweet!
She loves to have her ears scritched. She purrs loudly.

My neighbor is fostering two kittens by
dgk
I'm resisting temptation. Really. The girl is Charlotte, the boy is
George. Charlotte is, so far, lady like. George has been a terror, but
Judy's big cat Charlie has been instructing George in proper behavior
and George is just becoming a great little kitten.
I'm not taking George, and my mom...

Fipronil in eggs by

a cat for fleas you'll probably have used this stuff. I had
no idea it was so...

Advocate by
Lesley Madigan
What is in that stuff?!
When we took in Spirit (RB) she had fleas and nothing seemed to help much. Advantage helped a little as did spraying the bed/washing the bedding at 50 degrees but come this year and the warmer weather and once again both cats were scratching like mad and so was I!

Losing Fur by
Cheryl[_6_]
Kerry, my newish cat, seems to be lacking fur on part of her belly near
the back legs. I only just noticed - she loves being petted, but like
many cats, she takes exception to belly-rubs so I hadn't looked at her
belly in quite a while. I have an appointment with the vet for her
tomorrow - I...

Needy kitty by
Joy[_3_]
Koala is very needy this afternoon. He keeps bugging me to pet him.
He's come a long way from his feral past, and sometimes comes up on my
lap and demands petting when I'm in the living room. However, he
generally ignores me when I'm on the computer. However, the events of
this week have...

Naturally by
Joy[_3_]
I have a three-bedroom, two bath house. I have carpet in the living
room and hallway. All the other floors have easy-to-clean vinyl
flooring. Naturally, whenever there's a hairball, it's on the carpet.
I found one in the hallway when I got up this morning.

Kedi (film about Istanbul cats) by
Jack Campin
I saw "Kedi" in Edinburgh tonight. Really enjoyable, lots of
beautiful cats and superb aerial photography of Istanbul that
shows it in a way I'd never imagined, and it makes a really
interesting point. While there are housecats in Istanbul,
someone near the end points out that they lose their...

Stepped on Buffy! by
jmcquown[_2_]
All morning Buffy has been begging for attention. Scritches and loving
words didn't seem to cut it. I decided to Furminate her. :) She loves it.
She saw the grooming tool in my hand and started prancing around, all
happy. For an indoor shorthair she's got quite a thick undercoat. I
have to...

Kitty Kisses by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy likes to give me kisses on my face early in the morning.
It's very sweet. But I'm not ready to wake up at 5AM. Nor 6AM. I love
you, but please stop leap frogging over me all night.
She's a sweetie, but I have to hide my hand. Because if she can see my
fingers she's expecting me to...

Ping Jack: Istanbul cats by
Bastette[_3_]
For Jack especially, but for everyone else, too.
A friend of mine just sent me this link, about a new documentary that
has just been released. It's about the cats of Istanbul and the people
who take care of them. It sounds like a great movie, I hope it comes
to my area soon.
(Apologies to anyone...

Istanbul cat by
Jack Campin
This seems to be the guy who had a statue erected to him a few
months ago:

Does the world-weary seen-it-all cafe-habitue thing rather rather
well, doesn't he?

Cruise is almost here by
dgk
I'm panicking because I'm going away for two weeks. I never left the
brood for that long. I'll have people in of course, but my cats aren't
really friendly so even though they know the cat sitters (friends and
relatives), they aren't going to be highly visible.
They'll be all right, but I'm...

Where is everybody? by
Joy[_3_]
This is the first day that there haven't been any posts at all when I
opened the group this morning.
I'm trying to walk every day, and we're having a heat wave, so I've been
walking in various stores. We have a mall here, but it's outdoor, so
it's no good for walking when it's hot. Today I...

Link? by
Joy[_3_]
Yesterday somebody posted a link to a video of a busker with an audience
of kittens. I wanted to send it to my kids, but I forgot to add the
link. Now I can't find it. If anybody still has that link, could you
post it or email it to me? Thanks.

Cats! by
Joy[_3_]
They're just like siblings. A couple of hours ago I heard yowling and
snarling as Koala and Pickles went at it. Just now I looked in the
living room, and they're snuggled up together under the coffee table.
