    Re: The Brown Cat drinking from toilet Arthur (who also was a stray) hopped up and peed in the sink this morning! Don't think he's ever done that before (sez me hopefully.....)

    Any suggestions for easy homemade cat toys?

    My crazy cat won't play with anything I buy (toy mice, balls, feathers, wands etc.).

    She will chase hair ties, plastic ties (all big enough for her not to swallow), paper balls, straws, lid sealers. She gets bored with them and I have to put them out of sight for a few days to get her playing again.

    Forgot to add - kitty is scared of cardboard boxes! She wont play with them or go into them.

    Arthur won't play with toys either AND the cat bed purchases have all been a waste of money too Sad

    He does like movement (eg he will chase a bit of rope but like your kitty gets bored after a short time)

    Guess these cats are just TOO clever huh?

    I wonder if your kitty had a bad experience with a box once?

    I should also have said Arthur enjoys attacking feet (human) think it's the movement that attracts him. This is not so popular as a game with us humans though!

    ours like paper sacks, toilet paper rolls, milk rings.

    Try toilet paper rolls (the inner part) and cut the ends into fringe. A lot of cats at the shelter like the long stick with ribbons at the end. They reflect light and seem to be difficult to chew off.

    poor Cleo. :'(. I worked with a rescue where we used to live and it's a sad fact that kittens often get sick and die when they are newborn, I'm sorry for Cleo. I'm glad she has a furever home now and can just get the love she deserves.

    So enjoy seeing everyone's new photos and stories! I hope this thread stays active for a looooong time :)

    Ruth, lovely photos of Henry and Oreo enjoying the fall time.

    KiwiCatMom, sorry to hear about Cleo's baby, wow so sudden, reading that post just stopped me in my tracks, but on the bright side so glad that Cleo has a forever home now.

    FeelingFeline, great actions shots of Arthur, boy he is quite the character! Lol!

    ScrunchTheCat, your photo of The Brown Cat watering in the loo just cracked me up, what a pose! Very agile aren't they lol.

    CAMommy, hopefully this phase will pass soon... wonder if they are picking up on the adjustment feelings of you and your family. Mine are pretty in tune with us. When we are stressed, the pets are stressed too. I'm sure everyone will get into their routines and settled in soon :)

    Wren44, How is Rusty's mobility doing? Guess a broken pelvis is going to be long-term rehab. Hope you are sleeping better with Squeakers lol!!

    Bounce sorry I don't have any suggestions to add. Our one cat sweetpea is not such a playful one either. She is content to sit and watch out the window, she adventures away outside for hours and sometimes overnight. We have just one cat who likes to play... Lily loves catnip mice, big paper bags, tinfoil balls and boxes. She also enjoys the bathroom tap left on just a touch for a few minutes a day so she can catch and drink the water.

    Been away and cat-sitting for a friend, here is a picture of Tux, such a handsome dude, he's very sweet and loves his bathroom window...

    image

    And below is Lily, yes, same name as my grey cat Lily :)
    This is how she greeted me as I unlocked their front door this morning... very confidently lying on top of a 5ft tall box! There is a piano seat nearby so I'm thinking that's how she got up there lol!

    how do you keep from not bringing every kitten home from the Kitten Inn? I would be in serious danger of doing that

    Because we have eight already and some degree of sense is kicking in. And at adoption day, when you see the kittens and momcats choose their families, it makes it easier. Still hard though

    I really admire you Terre for your work at the Kitten Inn. I know I couldn't do it. I would be the crazy cat lady. If there were cats that no one else wanted, they would be home with me. DH has banned me from ever going to the SPCA. But I love looking at all the pics you post, glad they are half way around the world from me!

    Happy Cheers, Dee

    A beautiful little orange and white kitten was picked up for foster while I was at the shelter today. She hadn't learned how to eat from a bowl yet, so went with someone who knew about bottle babies. Very cute.

    And 2 adults were adopted during my shift. Always exciting.

    Kiwi: Precious kittens!

    Wren: So happy when animals get adopted!

    I've enjoyed looking at all the kitty pictures and reading about them. This is a picture of Spottish drinking from her water fountain. It has been wonderful in stopping both cats from pestering us for a drink at the bathroom sink.

    Wonderland and Spottish - lovely picture!

    Wren great news!

    CAMommy - another lovely picture!

    Kiwi - the kitten season is "fur real" at the Kitten Inn. I hope you and your wonderful colleagues can get homes for all those beautiful babies and their Moms.
