    sounds good. Arthur is a cheese lover.

    Tried Arthur with cheddar, no good, tablet kept falling out. Edam much better, able to squash it into a nice little sandwich

    (Not sure if you have these cheese types in the US but they are the standard cheeses here).


    Zillsnot4me also told me about these crunchy little Pill Pockets for cats. She actually found them on Amazon.co.uk as well as the US Amazon site. Good to know.

    Pill Pockets are great. Make a flavor for dogs too. Bought cat ones by mistake, dogs ate them.

    They look like Play Doh, smell vile, mushy, but the critters snarf them down pill and all.

    Here is a pic of Reggie, the handsome boy that Sister and I were babysitting in Greenwich, CT. (sitting in "his" chair, of course)

    feelingfeline - Glad you enjoyed Reggie's pics. Just returned on 7/2 after being away since 6/23 and trying to catch up with topics & postings. We both miss our own kitties and love the chance to babysit Reggie.

    KB - Yes, he does have a rather regal expression! He is extremely well loved by his humans. While they were on vacation in France, Sister received a message about how they missed him after seeing a 20 year old French cat in their travels. Guess the life in France is good for cats!

    I remember seeing cats everywhere in Paris. Some even lived in restaurants and sunned in the front window. I don't know what people with allergies do there.

    You reminded me of this picture taken on a holiday some years ago. This snoozing cat was in a woodcarvers shop window in Oberammergau in Bavaria.

    Hey everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted anything.

    If anyone remembers my oldest,Mackenzie, stated dating our vet,still still dating 💞 he is such a sweet man. We adopted Zeus from his office. This cat is going to make me drink.lol he is a counter top ,table, jumper.. if you leave a drawer,cabinet,closet,door open he entered and explores. He is a curious one. He definitely helped create the name "curiosity killed the cat".lol

    Just yesterday he knocked over an entire shelf of books.. probably about 40 books 😑

    He is cute but draining..lol this is how Lu Lu feels about having a new way too energetic sibling

    Hi luvpugs, Beautiful picture of Mouse.


    GA Momma, poor Lulu! That is such great news that all is going well in the relationship between your beautiful DD and that lovely vet, I remember you telling the sweet story of how the romance blossomed. Long life and happiness to them both, and also to yourself Lulu and Zeus. 40 books - yikes!

    Hi ladies,

    I just had to share this with someone. A friend just emailed me, so excited about her new kitty litter robot. I nearly fell over at the price ($895Aud), but then most of my money goes on cancer drugs. I'm not trying to sell you one, never even knew these type of things existed. Does anyone else have anything similar? I guess if you were worried about cleaning out the litter box when on chemo or your immune system is low it might be worth a thought, or cheaper to pay someone to do it :)

    Hi Freya!

    Did a quick google and that's equivalent to €600 here. In Ireland that is the cost of a mid-to-good range washing machine or tumble dryer. Which if you think about it this kitty litter robot is similar to, except it deals in soiled kitty litter instead of dirty clothes.

    Yes it certainly is expensive compared to the ordinary litter tray and scoop, but your point about people who are dealing with compromised immune systems or who might be ill or disabled is a good one, certainly could be a real life saver rather than a luxury in some situations.

    I well remember being pregnant with 1st child, was HUGE in late pregnancy, and when I would get down to clean the litter trays I used to be afraid I might overbalance onto my back and be lying, limbs flailing, like an up-ended insect. (Kafka anyone?). Would have been absolutely delighted with a kitty litter robot, if not the price tag.

    Hi FF, you are right, that is about what I paid for my washing machine. I'm glad my friend loves it, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much. She has 3 cats, so I guess it will save her a bit of time. Mind you, how would you feel if you got one, and the cat turned its nose up at it LOL.

    Yes, you could be guaranteed that is what would happen at our house. Arthur never met a cat bed he could like. Someone with a less discerning cat got a great bargain at the parish fete.

    I saw info about one here that is connected to the house water and sewer lines. It uses a special litter that is washed after each use. People said they had to replace the special litter several times a year. It was expensive to buy and expensive to buy the special litter. If I had 3 cats or a compromised immune system, it might be worth the money. Lots of cats won't go in covered litter boxes. We had a cat surrendered to the shelter because the woman's husband had had a transplant and needed an extra clean environment. Nice cat, he'll find a home soon.

    Hi! I just want to say that we got a new cat in January - a 5 year old stray we named Wilson. I truly believe he was destined to be with me during this period of my life. Shhhh don't tell the rest of the family how much this cat really makes me feel happy - they'd be jealous or think I'm crazy. But seriously, it's like he is here to assure me that I'm going to be ok. Right now he's simply sitting next to me, leaning against me. And I always called myself a dog person!

    wren, I've seen the one that hooks to the water/sewer line, and I would love to try it out but am afraid my old girls will reject it.

    VL, cats really are great for that. Mine can tell when I'm not feeling well, and they won't leave my side at those times

    I'm glad Wilson found you and is providing support. Cats can be wonderful. You are both lucky.

    One of the hardest things about having cancer was having to have my favorite cat euthanized the day we decided on the mastectomy (after a 2nd invisible tumor was found). She had cancer and the only treatment would have been amputating her leg at the shoulder. We didn't want to put her through that at 12yo. I still miss her. She would sleep curled up with her back against my tummy at night.

    We had an angel stray kitten show up on the front door right when I was finishing treatment. I really don't think it was a coincidence, as she provided a lot of fun, liveliness, distraction, and drama (drama because we already had two adult cats who weren't exactly thrilled to have a baby sister!).

    On the news here this morning a lucky cat story. This black cat was found near death and taken to the vet. The vet deduced the cat had been drinking anti freeze. The antidote was an infusion of vodka (who knew), and luckily one of the vet nurses had a bottle in her bag, that sounds like a discussion for another time.

    According to the vet, the cat was "off its tree" and seemed to really enjoy the treatment LOL. My husband thinks the cat may go looking for more anti freeze, just for the treatment. All the cats I have had in the past have been black, nothing would surprise me with them.

    Freya - Great story - that is one lucky black cat! Anti-freeze is usually fatal to cats. Vodka - who knew?

    They can't find his owners, he has no microchip, so he is now up for adoption. He has been named "Tipsy", love it.

    If he wasn't in another state I would offer to take him.
