Re: 20 CATS...
Hey Sandy, I had four inside cats until Cricket passed. They all have free roam of the house except the guest bedroom and bath. Cricket didn't really have a spot in the house. He just went where I went. When he got sick, he did pick a spot behind a big plant in our bedroom. He got along with everyone and was a very Beatles-like kitty: live and let live. LuLu, my Siamese mix, is the sweetest thing and she pretty much stays in our bedroom. Now that Cricket has passed though, she has been coming out more. Pepper, LuLu's sister, is black like Cricket, and she is kind of a bully and stays in the kitty room where her tree is. She has also come out of her room more since Cricket passed. Julie is our geriatric kitty-she is 16 years old. She lived in our garage/outside until last September when she was mauled by the neighbors boxer who got out of their fence (and the sorry guy lied to animal control and said it wasn't his dog even though they could see the blood to prove it; he just got fined by the city a year later for that incident). Julie moved inside after the attack to recover and since she was so happy, we kept her inside. She is a new kitty now. She hangs out in the kitchen (lol-waiting for chicken broth) and on the carpet right by the kitchen. She races through the house when she is happy. I think that there is some truth to the territorial thing, but I don't think the kitties need much space as long as the space they have isn't invaded. There are some kitties that can be jerks though. I have one outside cat that just doesn't like other cats. My outside kitties have access to the yard and the garage and they get along pretty well. There are 5 of them, plus two strays that hang around. I would probably have more except for my husband; he's like yours. lol. :) Wendy --- Dudes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm always amazed when people say that they have lots of cats.

Was - Cricket and a feeding tube my Buddies feeding tube for Belinda
Belinda--it's clear Buddie was a real character--full of life and energy. Also inspirational---I've realized I have to get my Tiger's weight down--I figure he's prob 15-17lb (I think he's a comfort eater, poor thing). I can't risk him becoming diabetic. I'm going to have to do the same as you did with Buddie---put him on a diet. It would be nice for Tiger if he regained his ability to jump from floor to table. I'm not sure he will be so easy-going about the diet as Buddie was tho.

She was not a overly affectionate cat and when she got cancer I was petrified thinking she will never put up with the vet trips and chemo and all the fussing and handling involved. Buddie had on occasion tore a vet or two up when they didn't heed my be careful she doesn't like being held or picked up, sometimes she didn't even want to be touched. She would come to you and let you pet her for as long as she felt like it, then turn and run when she had had enough. When she got very over weight and had to go on a diet I was worried, she only ate dry food and that was making her fatter and fatter, I figured it was going to be hell to get her off it, but she surprised me and switched without any problem. Once she lost the 6 ounds over a year and a hlf that she needed to she became a different cat. I still remember the look of surprise on her face when she jumped from the floor to the table, something she had not been able to do while overweight. She was truly full of herself for that accomplishment. She also became more affectionate. It was about a year after that that she was diagnosed with liver cancer. She tolerated the vet trips and pokings and proddings surprisingly well for the first 4 treatments and then she decided she had had enough and quite eating. It took me 3 weeks of sitting in front og her every 15 minutes with a bowl of food to get her eating again, and I promised her we would stop the chemo if she just ate. She got 3 intravenous doses of chemo which I know helped immensly, and she was on prenisolone which was the regular treatment for her type of cancer. Had we continued with the chemo she woud have gotten one more intravenous dose and then gone on leukeran as a maintanence chemo (given orally at home) drug. She lived just over a year after she was diagnosed, most of that time was very good, and we bonded like never before, she actually followed me around and wanted to be in my lap, or at the very least in the same room. It was very special. In hindsight I maybe would have continued the oral chemo atleast, but at the time I did the best that I could given Buddies personality and what I thought she wanted. She put up with a lot more than I ever imagined she would. And as she had always done, lived and died in her own way, I wouldn't trade that year for anything:) -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Lots of cats - Nina
Bonnie, LOL! No I don't have Siamese, nor have I had the pleasure of knowing one. I have heard that Siamese are very vocal and can be a little demanding at times. I can just imagine that they don't emit much peace when they are doing that. :) I do have one cat who comes and lays on my neck whenever I am sitting watching TV, and expects me to hold her there. Even when I tell her politely that I can't see, she just keeps on purring, and kneading, and rolls over further so I can pet her tummy better. I guess I have a very cat-friendly, comfortable neck.

My female cats used to fight over who would sleep on our bed, and I would end up locking one of them out of the bedroom to prevent the middle-of-the-night fights.

PLEASE POST AND CROSS POST. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. We at Awareness Day, would ask that each group who has any room please say yes to at least one dog or cat from Katrina. We and Companion Animal Placement will do the rest. One of our volunteers, Leslie Picone just got back from her second trip to New Orleans. She was instrumental in helping develop a successful trapping schedule and now dogs and cats are being trapped at a dramatic rate. Problem. There is no one coming forward to rescue these animals and because of lack of space these animals are going to have to be euthanized. We understand that everyone is overwhelmed but if you can find a place for just one Katrina cat or dog, it would make all the difference in the world to that animal Please contact us if you are a reputable rescue group who will be able to handle this animal and do right by it. We do not want to have any group over extend themselves. Free transportation will be arranged by Companion Animal Placement. We are told there are about 30 super friendly cats who are just sitting in holding areas and waiting. The traps are being set in areas where there have been no rescue previously, and the animals are very adoptable. For more information, please email, us or Leslie directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: 20 CATS...
Kerry, It's good and bad to know that these bedroom wars happen. What I believe happened in my case, is that my little Cricket matured to adulthood, and felt the need to assert herself. And I gave you the short version of the bedroom saga. The way things came to a head, all three cats fought in a flurry of teeth and claws. The male cat got in on the fight just because it upset him. Miss ended up with a huge abscess from an ugly bite on her abdomen, and she was very, very angry. I don't know who bit her, because fur was flying. After Miss healed up, she refused to come out of the bedroom for SIX MONTHS! I tried everything, kitty Prozac for one and then the other, and at one time both of them (made them both sleepy and zombie cats), Amitriptyline, Feliway, nothing worked. I even considered contacting Sonya Fitzpatrick, the pet psychic. I was so desperate to right things. Miss had her food and litter in there, and she stayed put. I could tell she missed being with her people, because she would walk us to the door whenever we left the bedroom, but she would run and hide if she saw one of the other cats. She could see us in the den from the bedroom window. And it just broke my heart to see her looking at us, I could see her meowing for us to come and see her. But she would absolutely not be moved from the safety of the bedroom. I spent as much time with her as possible, but then I was neglecting everyone else. But then slowly, she'd allowed me to carry her out for short periods of time before she'd panic. And then we worked up to other rooms of the house for a quick look around before she got upset. My persistance paid off. One day, she crept out of the bedroom cautiously. She stayed out longer and longer, hiding under a chair, and dashing off to hide under the bed less. Finally she decided it was time to join the rest of the family, as if it had been 6 hours, not six months. That was three years ago. Now she and Cricket have this mutual understanding and tolerance. Miss steps aside if Cricket is around. Cricket doesn't even have to flex a whisker. Cricket might be the smallest, but she managed to overturn the position of alpha female. Sorry that was so long. But I thought it was worth telling. I hope if anyone else ever has a situation like this, they give it a LOT of time to resolve. Sandy
Re: Cotton's visit to new vet
Cotton's IFA came back positive, as suspected. The vet said there's not any need to test him again. She said his bloodwork came back very viral-looking, with his lymphocytes very high, but no other abnormalities. The vet tech said they have ordered his Interferon. Anything I should know about it's use? Cotton was very sweet today and let me pick him up and hug him a little while he purred with his eyes closed for a minute or so while I whispered baby talk to him. I was worried that he might not be feeling well. And then as I was putting him down, he bit my arm a little harder than gently, so I didn't forget who he was. :) Sandy
