It DOES work. She went from waking us up about 4-5 times a night to not waking us up at all (not even in the morning!!) So definitely if you have a kitty that is too young to be away from her mom (for sad circumstances of course :[ ) then just stuff a sock full of stuff that smells like you and put it in her favorite snoozin spot. :] </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22725#post-467487 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:10:38 +0000 Em 467487@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Most cats will decide what type of food they like. In some cases a cat may even have an allergic reaction that you can't see, and that is why they won't eat it. My cat doesn't like dry food, and will go nuts for canned or wet food. What we do sometimes is just mix the two, and some days just give her one or the other. Try to get the cat to drink water before she is eating the Hill's, and she just may enjoy the wetness of it!!( another thing is put some warm water and Wiska's on the hills, and slowly ween the cat off of the Wiska's). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22736#post-467486 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:04:37 +0000 Em 467486@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Love your cats kittenwhisperer!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22736#post-467485 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:51:21 +0000 Em 467485@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks!!

Doesn't sound like she was slowed down for even a minute! She was happy to see you come in to get her and take her home. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22736#post-467483 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:48:24 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 467483@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Em.

Leaves are sifting down like lost gold, the sky is blue as a baby's eye, and Ruggles is determined to help me type. Thank heavens Rotley is snoozing on the bed.</p> <p>How is Amy doing today? The CyberHummer is right outside the cafe, so you can stash your stuff in there, and the keys are on the hook by the DJ station. And an agency kitten just handed me a cup of cafe au lait. Vicki, you're a wonderful hostess. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22721/page/2#post-467476 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:25:38 +0000 feral 467476@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Continuing Love &amp; Prayers that Harry is somehow improving. {{{HUGS}}} for Meowmy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22733#post-467475 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:22:11 +0000 feral 467475@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I Love the feeling I get when my furbabies recognize me after a traumatic event. You can now rest easy that Pickle has bonded to you. The cuddling will come in due time. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22732#post-467474 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:21:28 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 467474@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Count Miss Leela and me in as well! Leela brought her skates to the rink and my whack-bonk stick is freshened up and ready for action at a moment's notice.<br /> It's a nice fall Saturday here in North Joisey. Hubby raked leaves and I unloaded bags of stuff that I don't know what to do with from my truck. Winter's coming and I will be driving my 4WD so I need to turn it from a shed back into a truck (I drive a more gas-efficient car in non-icy weather). Now all this stuff is in my living room - mocking me. I will be attacking it soon! Much of it I will be able to take to the battered women's shelter and some of it will be suitable for me to donate to our local animal shelter. Got my work cut out for me! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22721#post-467473 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:21:05 +0000 Emma 467473@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Honey, I am so sorry -- prayers and hugs are coming your way! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22735#post-467472 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:05:05 +0000 Cheri 12/22 467472@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.thedailykitten.com" rel="nofollow">www.thedailykitten.com</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22734#post-467471 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:03:53 +0000 furryfriends50 467471@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Some of the farm cats have herpes and most of the symptoms went away when they started to get 1000mg lysine a day. However since I put them on raw they don't need lysine anymore and are doing better than they even did on lysine. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22733#post-467470 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:55:03 +0000 Pika 467470@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>PM what a lovely little terror you have!

I volunteer, rescue, help the shelter...<br /> I have a foster kitten (&amp;sibling) that was originally put in with a surrogate momma kitty but I took them to bottle feed them because they were being neglected/pushed away (there were 10 kittens to this 1 momma!). One kitten has done well but the other has been on antibiotics on/off her whole short life of about 8wks for URI, snotty nose. We've gone from Amoxicillin to Clavamox. I found out one/some of the 10 kittens has Herpes. I have another foster kitten about 12wks &amp; have had to start him on the clavamox, too. They are kept in separate cages, but are near. Luckily, my own cats are ok... She's almost done with the Clavamox &amp; I would've expected her to be getting better but she's just the same as when I started it. She's eating &amp; playing well, but I feel bad because I can't let them out to play &amp; socialize &amp; the sibling that's well is showing signs of unsocialization. I've done a little research &amp; suggestions are to give powdered lysine, get a Leuk. test, go back to the Vet &amp; get a stronger antibiotic called Azithromycin. Any thoughts? Thanks! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14506/page/2#post-467465 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:45:59 +0000 SoxsMom 467465@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What about Santa Cruise or The Christmas Thief by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. They are mysteries with a holiday theme. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22700#post-467464 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:42:47 +0000 Skyron 467464@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So Stumpie came home this afternoon :) He was so happy! He recognised me right away (thought he might not after so much time), and he hasn't stopped purring yet. He rode on my lap in the car on the way home, just happy to be purring. When we got home I put him in my room, and he first sniffed my chair, then my pc, and then his little stump shot right up and he started purring again wwhen he recognised his old scratching post. You could almost hear the penny drop 'wait a minute, I know this place!' He hasn't left my side since we came home. He's so happy! Will have to come up with a new name though - the child has grown a lot, he now has 1/4 of a tail . . . not just a stump anymore :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22732#post-467463 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:42:45 +0000 Cheri 12/22 467463@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Spice and I are ready for the ride on the cyber bus. Count us in !!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22733#post-467462 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:41:59 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 467462@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, Pickle has had her day at the vets and is now back home zooming around like a lunatic. I caught her quite easily and took her in Thursday evening. She had her operation first thing on Friday morning, and they rang me at 11.30 to say all was well and she was waking up nicely. I was allowed to pick her up any time after 1.30, but because of w**k couldn't get there until nearly 5.00. I paid the bill (ouch!) and the receptionist told me to take a seat. I waited and waited. </p> <p>After quite a while the receptionist came back and said "They're just trying to get Pickle out of her cage and into her basket". I asked her if they wanted some help, and she said she'd ask. A few minutes later the nurse arrived and asked me through to the consulting room. She went through the post-op checklist with me, but confessed she hadn't been able to put Pickle into her basket. (I had warned them that she is rather wild!)She asked me if Pickle "has always been like that." So I explained her history. "Oh", said the nurse, "Perhaps I ought to have put her back in her own basket while she was still dopey".<br /> Anyway, I offered to put her into the basket myself. The nurse took me through to the cat section of the hospital and there was Pickle sitting up in her cage looking very alert and perky. I was really pleased with the way she responded to me. She obviously recognised me and when I opened her cage she only cowered down at the back and hissed at me. When I grabbed her she made no attempt to bite or scratch me, and she went into her basket with no trouble at all.<br /> She came home and was immediately back to her normal lively self. She's eating well and doing everything a kitten should - apart from being cuddly that is. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22727#post-467461 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:36:31 +0000 Skyron 467461@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I call that the sharky-stage - when they have a double row of teeth going on . . . I usually just give my babies some biltong to chew on, it helps with the itching gums . Biltong is dried meat, very tough and salty. Works well for teething human babies as well :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14506/page/2#post-467460 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:35:12 +0000 Cat talk rules 467460@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Do we have a book for December? I have totally enjoyed expanding my reading tastes. I usually settle in with a mystery or stick with writers I know I like. Even if we don't do a book for December lets keep this up next year. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22721#post-467459 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:25:48 +0000 rainingwolf 6/15 467459@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sending love, hugs and scritches to all of you.

I just took some out of the fryer and sprinkled them with powdered sugar. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22715#post-467457 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:14:07 +0000 Rhindon 467457@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We're in an apartment too so it's even more tricky. And I'm a single mom, not really handy with stuff. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22704#post-467456 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:09:07 +0000 nawlins catmom 467456@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with much of what has been said before. You need to remember she is a bored teenager! This too will pass... but I have also had great luck with Feliway, and I think a younger companion would be a great idea, once you have the space... I have three young-ish cats now, 2 are littermates, one a singleton, and they chase each other all over the house, wrestle, and sleep together... so cute to watch! mine love milk bottle rings, toilet paper rolls and paper bags too! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22732#post-467455 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:52:54 +0000 nawlins catmom 467455@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Morning everyone! I am sleepy, so I need a serious dose of caffiene... Jumbo cafe au lait, please.<br /> Went to the Hornets (BBall) game last nite with some of my Muses krewe friends - they lost *sigh*. However, we did make it onto the jumbo-tron during one of the time-outs! That was cool! The fact that we were waving our pink feather boas like fools may have had something to do with it! Today is catch up on work and home chore days... before and after the LSU-Alabama game of course... wish me luck!<br /> And if we need to hop on the cyber-bus, count me in! I have some homemade stew in the freezer that would be great comfort food for dear MC... </p>
