So Burger stopped drooling, and Binkie restored her sanity. The turning point from crazy cat hostile to her brother back to normality was when she suddenly and unexpectedly started licking Burger's ass. Ah, kitty love.
In other news, Binkie now is drooling. We think its some sort of virus/bug thing. She's abating, so its just like the equivalent of a 3 day runny nose.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

My sister moved to Florida with a cat that was always inside. In order to adjust the cat to the outside world a little, she bought a leash for the cat so they can wander about in the yard. She then proceeded to make my brother-in-law walk the cat, with hilarious results.

My cat passed away years ago, she used to be trained very well on a leash. She would also play fetch and loved a good game of tug a war. Better than any dog we ever had growing up. She was a large cat though of mixed breeding. Never could figure out what she was. To this day i have not gotten another cat. It was too tough losing her.

Those are the kind of pics you need to be posting here. |

So, how did she go about doing this? Going for walks with Lizzie seems like something Lizzie would like, as she is nosy and brave, and I've been thinking of getting a catleash for her. |

Get a comfy harness, get the cat used to wearing it. I always start by just taking the cat out into the yard with the harness on, hook up the 16' retractable leash, sit down and let the cat wander. After a few times of that, instead of sitting down, let the cat lead and just follow walking around. Eventually get the cat to follow you, voila, walkies! It's worked on 5 of 6 cats I've tried it on. My semi-feral never really got it, and just wants to climb up and sit on my head safe from all this evil ground there is outside.

I'll give it a shot after we come back from our NJ Thanksgiving trip and they've stopped hating us for leaving them at the cat prison, I think! Jack is a giant wuss so I'm not sure I'll even try with him, but Lizzie is brave and I think she'd enjoy it once she learned how.
I'm excited!

The hardest part will be getting Jack and Lizzie comfortable with the harness. Wear your nail clipping-vet visit-kitty jail body armor the first few times.

Put the harness on them and let them walk around the house. My last cat had been brought up like this, though we opted to take it off of him, since the previous owners had left it on him all the time, he couldn't give two shits if I put it on him.

That right there summed up the opinion that cats have about the universe and the rest of us who occupy it. That was awesome. |

As it turns out, Lizzie is all, "Whatever!" when I put a harness on her. She is currently skulking about the house, trying to figure out what that funny feeling around her middle is. |

Oscar is doing the same thing in a fleece jumper I got for him (cold here) Slinking around seeming very put out about having a bit of cloth on. But going from 25 pounds to 12 pounds seems to have left him a bit unprepared for winter.

I rescued a kitten that ended up on our front door of the ER. He would bounce up to the automatic doors, meow loudly, then scamper to the bushes when someone would come. We're not sure if he was dropped or a stowaway. My other cat just took a ride from Terre Haute, Indiana to Lexington, KY, in the back of a pick-up truck going down the interstate. We think she got into the bed and couldn't get out, then when my dad was @ my sister's house unloading, out popped our cat, she was cold, but is doing great, plus having 3 nieces to play with doesn't hurt her disposition at all, but the kitten is freaked out, he is running around the garage looking for the Patch our big cat. Here are some pic's of the little guy, running around, We ended up naming the kitten Charlie Tuna:    He knew what the door was, knew how to use a litter box, seems to like people, he is loud! He can meow something fierce. I hope no one else abandons there cats at the ER, but I couldn't say no to this little one. |

It's cold in our apartment too (just got back from NJ yesterday!) and Lizzie and Jack cuddled on my lap, preventing me from doing anything useful, for an hour yesterday. It was cute. And unusual.  |

Charlie has been sleeping on the stairs, so if I get up in the middle of the night for some water or something, I almost kill myself when I go to step, then flinch backwards.
Then last night he was running to the top of the stairs, rolling down them, then running back up to roll back down them again. No idea what is so interesting about the stairs lately.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

It's tactical. In our house the stairs act as a chokepoint. No cat or dog can make it up without our guardcat knowing about it.

Was goddamned cold this morning. I had a four-day weekend with the wood stove cranking right on through. Bart spent most of the time in front of the fire, often on his back, legs stretched all the way out, toes spread, fast asleep.

I think this belongs here! Police responding to a 999 call in Swansea discovered they had been summoned by a cat.
Ginger's owner Howard Moss was fast asleep in bed when he was woken by officers banging on his front door.
After letting them in during the early hours of Tuesday they found the pet reclining next to the unhooked phone with one of his paws on the keyboard.
Mr Moss said police took the false alarm in good humour and Ginger was unaware of the commotion he had caused.
The retired lecturer said it was only recently Ginger had started sleeping on the table next to the phone.

62.8...I'm going with 'fucking cold' glare. I'm convinced the only reason my cat doesn't kill me in my sleep is my wood stove.

Had to have Oscar put to sleep today, pancreatitis came back, and he had cyst spots on his other kidney.
I feel awful.

Yuck.
In other terrible cat related new, my in-laws cat got out during the night a couple days ago and they didn't realize it until the day after. No sight of him since. There's a lot of desert around them and that cat is a complete sissy.
Heh, they aren't even going to tell my wife's sister because they think she'll do something drastic, like quit her job to come look.
