Cats, cats, cats

I have a cardboard scratching box that two of my cats sometimes use as a sleeping chamber. They each have a cat bed as well but sometimes prefer what I refer to as the "bed of nails" as the spot to nap. Go figure. LOL

People here posted their cats reaction to the snow. The majority were dubious but a Norwegian Forrest cat looked absolutely delighted. It looked like a ball and I'll bet there was an ordinary sized cat in there.

Kiss Daisy sounds like she found a great home, to receive love and to give comfort. I second your 'cats forever'

Cats form special bonds. I agree cats forever.

Welcome Quinnie. I hope you have many happy and healthy years with beautiful Kiss Daisy. My beautiful boy Elliott has acquired kidney damage and he is doing great thanks be to God.

Well done Louie!

I think we are going to need to have our vet put those soft claws over our girls' claws. They are shredders, both of them

LOL, Feelingfeline. That is purrfect. Looks just like Louie.

My boys let me trim their nails. Stevie sort of tolerates it but shreds everything. Annie will not let us touch her nails and she cries and cries, gets Eddie all upset. So Friday the girls are off to the vets to get those soft paw things put on their murder mittens.

I did applications for shelter cats today. At 11:30 they posted a kitten. By 12:30 he had 5 applications. He had 16 applicants before we took out the instructions for how to apply. I'm tired.

And wrenn, thank you for the work you do for all those animals who need homes.

Pokemon - Lovely photo! Those cats look like they are communicating to the puppy exactly who is in charge!

Miss Daisy gained 2 ounces!!!!! She weighs a whopping 4 pounds 6 ounces. Her kidney function is unchanged but she is such a sweet loving cat who does not seem bothered with having kidney disease. We will cherish her as long as we can.

quinnie, Our cat, Marmelade, had kidney disease also. His vet wanted him to drink more water so we made him catnip tea and used that to flavor his water. He was pretty far along when diagnosed and we were able to have him for another year using sub Q fluids to help his kidneys. I hope Miss Daisy has a slow progression and you have her for quite a while longer. It sounds like she's a fairly early stage.

Midnight Louie had a near miss, yesterday, A coral snake got into the screen porch and Louie, the great hunter was on it. I grabbed Louie and husband got the snake out. (red touch yellow, kills a fellow). The warm days must have brought it out of hiding. It was moving slowly and not aggressive. I blocked up the space under the screen door that maybe how the critters are getting in.
