    CAMommy: Poor kitties! Can you really blame them for going AWOL? (both of mine remained invisible for nearly two weeks when they were first introduced to our household. Five years apart.)

    Hooray! Glad you made it safe and sound, CAMommy! Here's hoping the furbabies recover from the trauma quickly.

    Here's an update on the kits born a week ago. They are growing so fast! And those little feet and ears! :)

    Our household is in "house guest recovery mode" today. Glad I was able to come here during the past few days for a smile or an "awww" to keep my sanity. I needed some funnies and found these photos using Mr. Google. Thought I would share. It's just one of those days.

    The cats were distraught with the house guests too. Was a little concerned that they were starting to get ideas like the one below... I wouldn't have blamed them.

    spookie I fostered a mama dog who was the best lap dog I kept saying she was pretty much a cat. I wanted keep her but being a stray she absolutely hated men. She would go ballistic everytime my husband walked into a room

    My sister's Husky was raised by her two felines, and thinks she is a very large cat. She can amuse herself for hours, but can not understand why her 'brothers' can jump up on to high counters and she can't make it!!!

    Ruth, We had it the other way around. Dog convinced kitten he was a puppy. They played and played. Best buds.

    Our big tabby Turbo was nursed by a dog. He is really a doggy cat. Fetches things, patrols the perimeter of the property, very territorial. :)

    The cutest thing is that the kitten's ears wiggle when nursing. Probably can't see if it's the mother, but very noticeable if you're bottle feeding.

    Agreed Wren! Hopefully will get a video of ear wiggles from Kitten Inn...then I just have to figure out how to post it. Tried earlier and it failed, so I deleted it.

    Ok, these are not kittens. I know that. And this is the cats page. But...this is too awww-inducing not to share. Flossy was rescued by Helping You Help Animals (HUHA) after she was badly abused and severely injured by a person who didn't think she was a good enough hunting dog. A couple of days after the rescue, it was discovered she was pregnant! This is Flossy with her newborn (today) babies. There are 8; six are in great shape and two are requiring some extra care, but fingers crossed. The HUHA staff are providing 24-hour care to mum and babies. So yes, not kittens, but . . .

    I buy Hartz hairball remedy plus, which is a gel-like consistency . One cat (luckily the one who needs it most) loves it and licks it right off my fingers. The other one won't touch it, so every once & awhile I will smear some on his lips, and then he has no choice but to lick it off.

    I use Laxatone from the vet for my cats. It's a thick goo that I smear a lump on their paw and they have to lick it off.

    Thanks everybody for sharing the cat stories

    Pantrah in Ireland there are several brands of anti hairball biscuit nibbles - the stuff is wrapped up in the outer crunchy bit so they son't notice it, don't know if you have anything similar in the US?

    (Whiskas and Dreamies are two brands of this type of biscuit here).

    Here in Canada, there is a product that I get from the vet called "Hairball Preparation" from Vetoquinol. It has the colour and consistency of molasses but comes in tuna flavour. It is meant to be applied around their mouth area. The cats hate it.

    Feeling like autumn here today :) Pumpkin was so named because she found us around this time of year. Still loving her, it's been 9 months now since she passed.

    My beautiful old boy who I am still grieving for, we lost him three weeks ago. This was taken just days before he collapsed and unfortunately the vet could do nothing. Barney was nearly 18.
