    Yes, Frankie has what the vet called "cotton fur". It mats if you so much as look at it the wrong way, but luckily the mats are easy to brush out and she loves being brushed! She had help with the cat tree, I actually have two other cats as well. They are also both long hair cats but one never has mats and the other only rarely. Frankie is just a hot mess of a cat. :) (Feliway had zero effect, by the way)

    We had a great night at the shelter yesterday. All the kitties were in pretty good moods and several could not get enough petting. We had fun playing and petting and enjoying them. One previously very shy cat decided tummy rubs were in order.

    Hello to all. Enjoying all the great cat photos. I come from a long line of cat loving women. Currently, catless, so living vicariously.

    Haha, scrunchthecat. My cats have been known to do that too! Two of them know how to pop open the kitchen cabinet doors and sometimes I come down in the morning or after being gone all afternoon and all the lower cabinet doors are open because they've been scrounging for snacks. I thought about moving the cat food and treats to an upper level cabinet but I figured that was just asking for trouble. :)

    Here is Max, the "community cat." Most days he comes around to the back stoop and asks for Temptations treats. Of course he gets them. Three Friday nights ago he came around limping, with his brow, an eye, and a paw injured, so we took him to the Hospital. He was very brave and cooperative.

    Here is our little boy, Bunny. He turned two years old last week. He cannot have dry treats, nor any dry food.

    How is max doing since the vet visit Icietia?


    Scrunch that packet is a familiar sight. We have to lock up all the food. Arthur's speciality is getting ten or twelve pouches of wet food and mopping the floor with the contents. It's not pretty.

    Oh, that reminds of the Christmas my girls put Temptation pouches under the tree for the cats. Yup, they opened them during the night. That was the same year DS brought us a dried squid from Japan. Nope, the cats did not try to get that. Now what does that tell you. I told hubby if the cats don't want it, I'm not trying it. DS loves it, btw.

    Hi feelingfeline. Max got a Convenia injection and eye ointment administered at the Hospital, and he was directed to continue with his eye ointment 2x/day until it was all gone. His usual hangout area is around the house next door, where a Nurse lives. She agreed to administer his eye ointment on that schedule, and she kept him inside until three days later to protect him from flies. By then he was no longer limping (his pain and apparent bleeding there had been from abscess). Now his eye looks much better. He seems to feel fine.

    When Bunny was growing up, his "safe room" -- where he had to stay when we would not be home to watch out for him -- was our largest bathroom, where we had installed baby-safety-locks in the cabinets and drawers. He has no idea that he could get into the kitchen cabinets if he were to try.

    My orange tabby boy, Marmelade, got catnip off the top shelf of the kitchen cabinet.

    I had to put down my girl, Bandita, yesterday. I'm just feeling so hollow.

    We had an unexpected issue with her brother in January and had to put him down. I'm not even over that yet and then this. Fluid in the membrane holding the lungs....SO full and doc said 90% chance a tumor/cancer. STUPID, freakin' cancer. She is my avatar here.

    (Edited: I typed heart but meant lungs. Brain fog, big time at the moment!)

    Wallycat, I'm so sorry. Losing one is bad, but both is a tragedy. I lost one that way and it's horrible. Hugs.

    Wallycat..I am so sorry for your loss. We had to put our little girl Levy down a few weeks ago too. No way to describe the sadness it brings. Hugs to you.

    Thank you, ladies.

    I am just a zombie at the moment. Simple tasks that remind me of her, and I am wailing and sobbing. I appreciate the kind words and sympathies. Only "pet people" understand the deep pain.

    So sorry Wally....totally get it. And now you've lost two. The last time I lost a cat was at age 21. It was different then. Didn't have cats again until 2007. Lost one of those at age 7. It was difficult.....heartbreaking. It does get easier over time, as you may know. It does.... It very much helped me to get a two new kittens for my remaining girl. I still remember my girl, but the good memories, mostly.

    Venus and Diana. Venus ( the one in the back) crossed the bridge unexpectedly just before Thanksgiving 2016. Wallycat, She had fluid around her lungs, too, and some sort of mass on her lung. I still miss her every day. She was a sweetheart

    RIP Venus.

    I can see why you named them both after Goddesses Nerdy

    FeelingFeline, nobody ever gets that, so thank you for saying it! Venus was a little love bug, and Diana was very playful and always stalking toys. It seemed appropriate. Nerdy
