I'm not scared of the stern smiley! I like the kissey one better though.

I just gotta limber up my lips a little. I'll make kissy lips at the cat until you come down here and plant girl parts in range of my weapons of mass seduction!

Hehehe...how is the kitty??

Hehehe...how is the kitty??

I have officially begun her toilet training yesterday. She is still being a bit stubborn about a few things though. She'll sleep next to me now instead of trying to sleep on me. She still attacks my feet. Kitten claws are no match for nail clippers.

Oh yeah. I can prove that cats are otherworldly creatures. I have a rough estimate of the amount of poop that I've cleaned out of the litterbox vs. a rough estimate of how much cat food she's been through. There is a great disparity. I estimate that she poops 1.5x more than she eats. She seems to be drawing matter from the ether somehow and then adding it to her litterbox deposits. They come mainly in the form of the most awful stench known to exist.

I could start to produce biological stink weapons if I were truly evil and sell them to the military.

Hehehehe...sounds like a normal healthy kitty. Mine attacks my feet too, especially when I'm in bed and hey move under the covers. It's one of his favorite games so I'll play with him that way while I'm reading a book or something. Needless to say I'm not training him to stop attacking my toes lol.

Good luck on the whole potty training thing. I so want to know how that works out!

Oh if she's stinking up the place that badly you might want to try a new type of litter and/or kitty food. Rhys' smell but it's not the worst smell on earth and it doesn't last long cause his little kills it pretty quickly.

Mine did that too in the beginning. Now she's 9 and doesn't attack my feet under the covers, just ambushes me when I walk past her hiding spots. And she still sleeps on me! (Over my legs)

You are feeding the kitty the wrong food. I'm not sure where mine puts all the stuff she eats, but only half of it (or less) comes back out, and she is a lanky girl (tall and muscley, no pudge) She's about 11.5 pounds but it is all muscle - she jumps an unbelievable height (upward) when she wants to show off. I also have to wonder where she hides the launcher - she will jump from the dresser over 10 feet to land on my shoulder when the mood strikes.

= Kitten claws are no match for nail clippers..

= They come mainly in the form of the most awful stench known to exist. .

As a cat breeder for more than 10 years...having raised well over 250 kittens, let me share a bit of experience....

Good for you in starting claw clipping NOW..first rule at this house is "mama always wins". i never let go of a kitten till all 18 claws are clipped...even if it takes an hour and i am in ribbons at the end...the next time is MUCH easier.

Use the nice little scissor type claw clippers specifically for cats...people nail clippers split their claws and can lead to an infection in the nail bed...and clip just to the white part...avoid the pink!!

Stinky cat boxes have three causes...disease, diet or maintenance.

Disease = coccidia, a water borne parasite. Treatment = can use meds or time will clear it up as long as the kitten doesn't keep reinfecting itself in a dirty litter pan...thus we get to...

Maintenance = use high quality clumping cat litter (i use scoop away and have 17 cats in the house) and scoop every day religiously!!!

Diet = again..high quality food is the easiest to digest...with less undigestible matter to ferment in the plumbing, there is less smell. And canned cat food is the worst..mostly water (expensive water) and fat...switch to dry Eukauba, Science Diet, Pro Plan, etc. and let her free feed at will all day.

Before i get a reputation as being the kinky, crazy cat woman you will eventually read about in the news...i breed and show Maine Coon cats...look for them in the pet thread....and 17 cats consists of 2 whole stud males living in their own private pens in my catttery, three pets, seven kittens and five breeder girls.

But I do know of what i speak...you can take that to the bank.

Oh yeah.. KC if you read this...would you like a kitten??

 

[Betticus]

She's on the Purina kitten chow, the dry food. It's what the girl that gave me the kitty was feeding her.

Don't use Eukanuba!! It's owned by iams, and they do really horribly terrible animal testing. Anyone that loves animals (your cat could have been in the place of one of the lab cats. Think about it that way) will avoid iams products.

My cat is just nuts. Cute, but psycho! Come and visit and you can have all the kitten time you want. If you pet me too of course, I like the belly rubs the best.

We have 3 cats in the house.... one is officially Clarise, aka Queen Head She Bitch

The other two are Id and Mickey (both females) but better known around these parts as Dumb and Dumber. Id has this funny habit of racing down the hall, turning the corner and then leaping up trying to climb the door jamb. Then gives this "Oh, shit!" look as she slides down. Mickey on the other hand, tries valiantly to leap on top of things and runs into them nose first. And can't figure out why she keeps missing.

I'm just gratefull the roomie keeps the litter box changed.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

i breed and show Maine Coon cats...

My last cat was a Maine Coon - gorgeous cat, boss of the house... 18.5 gorgeous pounds of empress. I miss her. Had to give her to friends when I moved from Florida because we couldn't have pets where we moved. <Sigh> Should have kept the cat and stayed, given away the wife and let *her* move.

 

[Belle_Reveur]

Mistake number 1 : googling "Maine coon cat." Holy day....I thought my cat was big. Sheesh. They're beautiful but I think I'll stick to dogs.
