"Stormmee" wrote: When Tiger purrs there is no sound. If he is on my lap and I am stroking his throat (which he loves) I can feel the throb. Also, when he purrs he breathes at double his normal rate so I can see it. Other than that there is no indication. Strange! Normal for older cats, in my experience. Though Leila can still produce an ear-splitting kitten-purr when she wants to.

His meow then has a trill which tells me he is purring at the same time. I've never heard a meow-purr before. I didn't think that was possible!

When he was awake, he tried to eat, tell me all about his adventures, and catch up on all his purrs for five weeks, all at the same time. Then he'd go back to sleep. That's what I call efficient time management. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

But nothing is quite as funny as a cat who has just been struck by a brilliant idea while bathing - and sits for five minutes with her tongue stuck halfway out.... Baird Is not funny!

She had minced raw pork tonight and purred. Thank Bast, with
encouragement she ate it all. Raw pork? Not good for cats or any other animal. Too much risk of parasites. Unwholesome. True if you are in the US (possibly). Not the same problem in Great Brittan. Trichinosis is a Western Hemisphere problem. Wrong risk. The problem with feeding raw pork to cats is toxoplasmosis, which is a lot more serious (both for the cat and for any human it goes on to infect). Pork is not the only meat that can host the toxoplasma eggs. But to keep it in proportion: http://www.fabcats.org/cat_group/pol...ents/toxo.html Trichinosis is fairly trivial - for some reason (perhaps religious) it's been blown out of proportion in US folklore. Compared to some of the parasites you get in sheep and fish, it's utterly benign in humans. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
