Kitten is my Grandcat. She has an interesting story too.

DD is a teacher, one day in her classroom she thought she heard meows. Nah, couldn't be. Next day, same thing. A Have-a-heart trap was set up in her room. Next day, baby was caught. She was about 6 weeks old.

We think she must have crawled in a students backpack and came to school that way. We'll never know, doesn't matter.

She's 6 now, and just learning how to cat. For most of her life she lived with a boy cat. They got along but neither did usual cat things. He moved, she's blossoming. By that I mean you never saw her, much less on a table. It also helps the grandkids are older and leave her alone more.

we had adopted sisters yrs ago,dogs. Both part lab/hound/maybe pit? Anyway Daisy and Ginger,the duo. We thought Daisy was the trouble maker. They both got out one afternoon only Daisy returned. We searched for weeks for Ginger,never found. Daisy became a different dog. No more barking,no digging,no potty accidents. Literally a different dog. She was with us for 6yrs but developed Cushings disease,very young for a dog,and we had to put her down 😢

Funny you talk about cats/kitten just appearing.. Yrs back we came home after a long hot day to a house that smelled like cat urine. At the time we had no cats. We lived in a double wide trailer in Georgia. Our a.c. malfunctioned in the middle of the day. I think the house temp was 95. My husband thought it was under the house and the duct work was down. We had a repair guy come. Now picture this,100 degrees in Georgia,the repair guy easily 400 pounds. He was at our house 20mins and said our duct work was fine and our blower broke. Ok 800.00 later a.c. is working. But the house still smelled. My hubby crawled under the house and sprayed vinegar to get ride of the smell. No help. By this point we all felt sick.

. The next morning my 13 yr old said "mom there is a large white cat in my ac vent..😮😮 really? Yes a 13 pound male cat,who was shivering and dehydrated .he must have crawled in,then got stuck. We got him out and dropped him at animal rescue after a good meal. So much for no ducts down .😤

Lu Lu got new kitty caps this weekend so she cannot claw anything.

This was her face an hour later..lmao

kathindc

LuLu's has a very fetching look in the first photo. not so much in her second photo. Curious, does she try to get them off?

JuniperCat

Lu Lu does not look like a happy camper!

I've never heard of these "kitty claw caps".... how long do they stay on?

GAMomma

they are glued on. We take the girls to Petsmart. It's about 20 each cat..and the pack.of claws are 10,but they can she shared between the girls.we only get the front claws done. The first time we did them Levy hated them. She bit off 3. But by day 5-6 she gave up and forgot about it. They said they would stay on for about 30 days. We actually got 3 months. Lucky never cared. Never attempted to bite them off but I think it's because she cannot really reach her paws well.lol we had to cut Lu Lus last 2 off her claws because they had grown so much they were almost touching her beanies. But we got it off with some wiggling with tweezers.

GAMomma

here they are

JuniperCat

Wow... my cats would never allow me to put these on them.... how on earth did you manage to do that?

GAMomma

oh no sister, I leave that to professionals at the Petsmart.lol

They have techniques where they wrap up the car to keep them still and safe.

They charge $20 to trim their claws. Might as well get the fancy caps. They come in colors, too. I saw a photo of a white cat with royal blue nail caps.

GAMomma

very true Wren.. Now if you have a very uncooperative kitty,it may not be possible. Levy is our problem child. She claws everything. Luc has not started again yet. But we thought get it don't before she cares.

GAMomma

Kathindc. The first time we had them done Levy had glue on her paws too because she was not very cooperative. We've been doing them for about a yr. A friend recommended them to me. Levy has gotten a splinter in her beanie from clawing the trim on one of our doors. 180.00 get bill I was ready to choke her. Declawing was not an option really. So we decided to try. I figured if they didn't work it was less then 50.00 wasted,no biggy. But they last longer each application. She doesn't fuss as much after so they stay longer. After the green is done we are getting the sparkles in purple. We ordered them online this time and will have Petsmart just apply them. I think it is 12 cat?

This one hit my funny bone this morning:

Reminds me of Olya Povlatsky/Kate McKinnon on SNL!

JuniperCat

Here's a short purring video... this time it's Gary

Now, that's a CAT!

JuniperCat

wowie...that cat is huge!!

kathindc

Big enough to be a child, LOL!

ShetlandPony

And so calm!

GAMomma

she looks super tiny too. I have to take a pic with my girls. I am very short in the torso and now bloodless,yeah smaller. I'm lucky to be 4'11,about 115.. My girls are juicy but look really big when I hold them..lol

Logang

I have heard of the claw caps. Good thing I started trimming front claws on mine as kittens. They don't enjoy it, but tolerate it pretty well. I use regular nail clippers. I wouldn't be able to afford claw capping for 6 cats!

GAMomma

we have always trimmed our girls paws too. They are strictly indoor. Not sure if that matters with the rug to claw. Nothing was stopping these ladies. It is expensive,so we try to extend it as long as possible. Levy is still the problem child. But we have done every other nail when the pack almost empty. That seemed to work too.

Our cat Minka, mesmerized by the birds outside.

GAMomma

oooohhhh,she is so pretty!!!!

JuniperCat

Minka has exquisite eyes and lovely markings!

Cowgirl13

Minka is beautiful. It looks like she has quite a presence. Thank you for sharing.

Wren44

Minka is lovely. I'll bet she'd like to get outside and show those birds a thing or two.

We had a cat named Lola (because whatever Lola wants . . .). DH bought her a feather toy that chirped. She was terrified of it. One night he stepped on it in the dark and killed the chirp sound. After that she adored the toy. She was a funny girl.
