I just found out that my dearly departed, 19 1/2 year old 'baby child'
named Blue, was actually a half Siamese and half Himalayan. Blue's been
'gone' exactly one month ago, today-Dec.20th-04.

Anyone ever use Soft Paws?
How are they?  Any horror stories?

One of my cats has just recently (within the past 8-12 hours) taken up
digging.  She's tried to dig up the bathtub, the front door, the door to
the basement, and the bathroom sink so far.
As I write this she has just finished a 10-15 minute tub digging tour,

OK, here's a weird one for me.
Both of our cats have been known to pull just random objects near the food
and water bowls into either one of these bowls.  Sometimes it's bits of
news paper, other times it's articles of clothing.  Last night, a towel

I'll soon be moving to a new house with my two cats and am wondering
how this might shift the balance of power between them.
These are two neutered males, Max is 4.5 years old and Sketch is 1.5
years old.

 My cat is hyperthyroid so I am opting for this treatment as opposed to

neither of whom like anyone.  the younger one, Manika, i thought was
the friendly one because she never bites us, but my mom told me today
that she also chases all neighbourhood animals away from our house.

*Sigh* wouldn't you know it. Leaving in the morning and Pearl is
sniffsneezing snorting. She gets this way sometimes. I don't know if there
is a hair stuck in her nose but everytime she sniffs at something she kind
of gets snorty and sneezes. I would just appreciate extra purrs for ...

quite inexpensive at petsmart.com and it looks good compared to the
store brands.

I have recently adopted an older kitty - he is almost 16.  While he is
grooming, he will often pull out clumps of fur with his teeth.  He has
recently had four teeth extracted and is in early stages of renal
failure.  

Okay, before anyone laughs outloud, I'm serious--I want a tree in the living
room AND I want to decorate it how I so darn well please--ornaments and
all--AND I absolutely expect my 2 kittens to totally leave it alone. (Yes,
kittens, not cats.) 100% LEAVE IT ALONE! Period, leave ...

Does anyone know if gingerbread is safe for cats to eat? I am going to be
making gingerbread cookies and I know my cats will be curious because they
are always interested in what is being made in the kitchen. This will be the
first time I'll be baking gingerbread cookies so I ...

months. She's doing much better and the Vet has put her on Science Diet Prescp.

Oddly enough I can find solar powered bird baths (for a fountain, not
heat) and electically heated bird baths, but not solar heated bird
baths. I would really like the bird bath to remain ice-free this year,
but until we do better with this global warming business I guess I'll
