I'm recently back from a vacation in Turkey. God bless the Turks for their tolerance of their many strays! God knows the world will be a much lesser place without them - the cats (and Turks too).         How do cats react when their human slaves have the audacity to go on vacation and neglect them?  Miki: I play the guilt card by playing dead.  Foxy: I go into shock then into hiding  in denial. Chocomi: I pout. Chilli: I show my disapproval  then completely ignore the human. Mocca: I hold on tight and if all else fail  I go all doe-y eyes.  Tiger: I start working on my forlorn look. Anon: I seethe with anger quietly in a corner. Anon1: LIfe's realising that others are different and it's ok.  Anon2: Life's a constant discovery. Anon3: Life's living the moment. Anon4: Life's reaching out and making friends. Anon5: Life's a new beginning everyday. Chilli: Life's realising that what's out there is not as important as what's in you. Chocomi: Life's loving oneself despite the imperfections. Foxy: Life's appreciating what you have  even when it's not the best deal.  Momo: Life's about eating, drinking and making merry.  Ne Ne: Life's a spiritual journey.  Siam: Life's relishing each moment. Tiger: Life's having your own fun but also  being there for your loved ones.Yesterday my bf and I adopted a stray cat from a local shelter. His name is Bear (the name they gave him), he is all black and they guess roughly about 2 years old. Neither of us have ever had a cat before. He is very clingy and follows us around. Also, he won't let us sleep with our bedroom door shut, he just keeps meowing. Is he acting this way because he is just in new surroundings and wants love? And do you think this behavior will pass once he becomes more used to us? I'd like to hear from people who have adopted a cat from a shelter as well. Thank You =)  Miki: Only three things in life are certain: death, taxes and change. Foxy: Do not be afraid of change, for the world already lies atop changes. Mika: Change? I am ready and waiting. Kiiro: Fear not. Look change in the eye. Anon: Change or no change, I'm a cool cat always. Button: Changes come and go, but I remain focused. Momo: Come what may, I always look on the bright side of life.My cat pee'd in one of our indoor plants. Now the smell is just horrible. Is there anything we can do to get rid of the smell without killing the plant? Thanks! Has anyone's cat ever had to have surgery to remove an eye? I ask because my boy Apollo's damaged eye seems to be more swollen than it used to be and I am just wondering. I already have an appointment for him to get a check up when my next paycheck comes in but for now I'm just searching for a price estimate.   Here are some kitty resolutions for 2010. What are yours?  Miki: Stretch and  dance more!  Anon 2: Explore and   Anon 3: Sleep and  smile more. More kitty resolutions here. Enjoy! Happy 2010 to you and yours. May you live your resolutions/dreams/goals. With the festivity in the air, our furry friends have made wishes for all too:  Kiiro: May you always look good from far and even better up close. Miki: May you stay warm and snug. Momo: May you alway be grace under fire and  always put your best foot forward. Nene: May you get enough restful sleep. Tiger: May you always have something to wag your tail about.  Chilli: May you always enjoy good food  and still have an ass you're proud of. More kitty well-wishes at http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/30937.html. And last but not least, Human: Merry holidays and a very happy 2010 to you and your loved ones!  Mocha: UV protection!  Button: Meditation.  Anon: A smile from the heart!  Kiiro: Just say 'no'!  Chilli: Learning from the experts.  Momo: Loving massages! More feline beauty secrets at http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/28 Shakespeare must look fierce in this post, as if he was "walking on imported air" past a pile of books he angrily tipped over as he narrowed his eyes at me, but, truly, it's an illusion: the books are scattered on the floor because of my ferocious housecleaning, and the angle is responsible for the illusion of anger. If anything, he's quite the opposite of an alpha male, timid and gentle.
 Nene: Nap time. Shiro: Being with you.  Tiger: An upward climbing snail. Yan Yan: Not minding the way you smell. More kitty definition of love at http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/24711.html. Enjoy! Okay, another big scare for me! Last night I was shocked awake by my Chii (see icon) screaming like I have never heard her (or any other cat) scream before! She was screaming bloody murder! I knew it was her brother attacking her. They fight all the time, usually only at night, and I have to get up and go break it up about 3 times a night! Very annoying! But I was scared to death hearing that and ran in here and yelled at Hurley, and I know the neighbor lady must have heard me! Chii was cowering under the end table and she squinted at me and was licking her chops a lot. I coaxed her out and did not find any injuries or blood. So I gave her her favorite treat, a piece of string cheese, and she was purring and happy in no time. My question is, is this normal behaviour for siblings, and what else can I do to stop this scary thing from happening again? (I've tried squirt bottles with no success.)  Miki says: Shine!  Shine with love, kindness and brother/sisterhood, of all that's gentle, of all that's good. Bring out the bling in you! One of our friends' cats, Britt, finally noticed the big HDTV that had been lurking in their living room for the past 6 months. Animal Planet’s broadcast of “Cats 101” sparked her interest:
It's about the looks.  Miki: Looking scary Hei Hei: Looking silly It's about fun!  Midori: Camouflage  Tata: Hide and seekIt's about love!  Titi: Bodyguarding Tata Yan Yan: Waiting for youMore passionate cats at http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/22577.html. Enjoy! We have a girl who is in the beginning stages of kidney failure, so we obviously want to put that off as long as possible. She's 19, so she sleeps most of the day but we've been considering getting one of those water bowls that won't spill if you knock it over (like this http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2755358&lmdn=Dog ) Question is, does anyone use these bowls for their cats? I know some cats (her included) like to drink right up against the side of the bowl, so I'm curious as to if she would use something like that or turn her nose up at it. Any thoughts, comments, experiences? Thanks a bunch! Have a question for you all.... how do I go about changing two outside/inside cats to just inside? and, how do I go about training them to go outside only on leash (how do I get them used to a leash) They are both about two now and our new apartment complex will only allow cats outside if they are on leashes. I hope someone has an idea *PS Please no criticizing comments about how dare I let them be outside cats in the first place, they are my cats and I will raise them as I wish* The boys:  Do you think you are cute? Do you like your photo taken?  Momo: Not again. Anon: Only if I like the photographer. Grey: Well, it depends... Miki: I'd rather sleep.For more opinions, see http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/18100.html. Enjoy! Went vacationing in China for 12 days. Wonder what my princes and princesses think of my absence?  Kiiro: Missed you! Chilli: You mean you went away? Oh... okay.For more reactions, http://avery-averette.livejournal.com/16984.html. Enjoy! Hey there! I'm Willow and I'm new to this community and just wanted to show off one of my cats. I actually have three cats but only a picture of one of them on the computer right now. I'm sure there will be many more pictures of them taken as I can get camera happy and Melodi LOVES to give me plenty of opportunities to catch her doing cute and sweet things.    Miki: Bad? No, I'm evil... very eveeiil!  Tiger: Bad? But I only do beautiful.More good, bad and I've been too busy with work to do my regular posting but the feeding hasn't stopped and the camera-phone is still clicking. Here's s a bit of the cat love that the world's been missing out on for the past two weeks. Miki looks all cuddly asleep, but the death stare continues... And it's not me, really.    More furry angel love here.
