Zorral Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Woo, can't believe how long ago the first Cat thread hit 21 pp. and was locked, and yet! another one hadn't emerged. I read this today in the NYT T-Magazine. Presumably people who appreciate cats would find this as interesting, enjoyable and enlightening as I did. The photos are fascinating. Here we have the Japanese perspective -- so presumably this could even go in International, ya? But anyway, here is a new cat thread. Why Do Cats Hold Such Mythic Power in Japan? A journey through a country where felines are revered, adored and sometimes seen as actual demons. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/10/t-magazine/japan-cats-travel.html Madame deVenoge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario is poorly controlled IBD (he is diagnosed an on a steroid already). Worst case is colon cancer. Oh no! Sending good vibes.

Edwin Calvin Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 We have a cat named Luna and she takes a steroid pill everyday since she got checked out for IBS and because she was only 5 lbs and losing weight. She is doing much much much better and for this I am glad because she's family We have some other cats too. Pepper, Jasper, and Callie. They're all doing just fine. We let them out every day which is the way we get rid of their extra energy. Madame deVenoge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 (edited) Someone is recovered from his neutering, but nowhere near as recovered as he thinks. Do you hear the kittens sing?Singing the song of angry gods?It is the yowling of the peopleWho will not be caged again!When the beating of your heartEchoes the beating of the drumsThere is a life about to startWhen the door opens!

Spockydog Posted June 19, 2024 Share Posted June 19, 2024 Maggie loves watching this. Now, I'm no cat expert, but this 'toy' looks more like some kind of infernal torture device. Prince of the North 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 My Little Buddy, Temujin, is finally starting to recover from pneumonia. It was pretty bad last week, he sounded terrible and wouldn't eat. But I've got him eating these godawful puree liquid meat stick things the last few days. Thursday when I made steaks he didn't even come over to have some, but we just got some wings today and he ate some of mine like normal. Never been more relieved to have to surrender some of my fried poultry. Giving him his antibiotic is still a struggle, but things are looking better. Seek elsewhere for a cat to take, Death. Mine is off the menu. Craving Peaches, Spockydog, Zorral and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craving Peaches Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Biscuit decided to go outside even though it was pouring with rain and promptly came in a few minutes later soaking wet. He seems to also be under the impression that the weather outside will be different if he goes out a different door.

I was actually surprised by how friendly he was/is. I was under the impression that all but a few cats were very aloof and uncaring. But Biscuit frequently rubs my legs and gives headbutts and does the slow blink. He's keen to play with everyone. His favourite toy is a hair bobble. Of course this is all probably another attempt to manipulate us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted July 21, 2024 Author Share Posted July 21, 2024 At a lovely party last night, I brought together two couples of friends we dearly love -- when introducing them, I <ah-hem> happened to mention <ah-hem> how much I liked the cats of both of them -- Dactyl pawed for one, and Abby for the other, and that I knew they both had fone fotos. One couple went, "Abyssinian! We love them!" the other couple went, "Catcher mitt paw! We love them!" And it was off to the races. <ah-hem> LongRider and Sophelia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRider Posted July 24, 2024 Share Posted July 24, 2024 Yesterday I found a sick kitten in the yard, she was mewing at me as I was at my car. Gave her a bowl of water (which she didn't drink) and called Animal Control to come and fetch her. AC told that they would pick her up if sick, take her to their facility, treat her ailments and put her up for adoption when she is healthy. It was about 103f/39c outside, so she was also dehydrated. The AC took the kitty away and the AC Officer told me how to contact them if I wanted to know how the kitten is doing and will do that today. The kitty looks like a grey point Siamese mix with very blue eyes, maybe two months old. Unfortunately, no pets allowed where I live, or I would be tempted to adopt her.

Craving Peaches Posted July 24, 2024 Share Posted July 24, 2024 (edited) Someone caused a scene the other day after wandering into a neighbour's house and getting shut inside. Much meowing and yowling followed. I doubt he's learnt his lesson, though.

Called and the kitten is feeling better and moving around. She was taken straight away to their vet clinic as she was covered in fleas, high temp and dehydrated. A is recheck for her is planned in few days. So she made it! Very happy to hear it. JGP, Spockydog and Jace, Extat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
