that's really cute......... I love it when he starts playing with the "sticks" lol.........

After spending countless hours and $$$ over the past few months at the vet with my dearly adored Himalayan who began by showing similar signs...I discovered her angst, behavioral changes and eventual small [and hidden] body lesions were the result her kitty litter. Apparently, World's Best has changed their "formula" and whatever they've done has had an extremely adverse effect on my cat. There'll be no more corn based litter in this house. Because none of the meds that I administered seemed to work...and "our" extremely talented vet had run out of ideas...I kept poking into "our" daily lives searching for an answer. The discovery was almost accidental...but confirmed when I bought a new litter box and new litter out of desperation. The moment I put the box on the floor...she jumped in for a closer look. Upon addition of the new Swheat litter...she jumped in again and immediately christened it. Mind you...my "only" child has never had to deal with any accumulation in her litter box because she immediately comes to me to report any "contributions". So the condition of her litter box is always near immaculate. I thought I had that situation under control. I never considered it was the litter itself until I went to buy a new supply and got into a discussion with the supplier. The moral of this story...animal changes may often be caused by something very simple. After spending well over $600...I wish I'd had this epiphany earlier. We've been happy ever since with the lesions almost completely gone and her loving personality firmly in tact. HTH.....Anne

Yes, they are super inquisitive, aren't they? I used to think it must be everyone else's cats that jump on countertops.....but not mine. Ha! Heard glass in the middle of night and found a glass and some water on my hardwood floor in the kitchen. They have water, for goodness sake! Makes me want to sterilize my counters now when I wake up

Several years ago, my brother had a pixie bobcat living in the small patch of woods at the edge of his property. I saw it once. Maybe size of a big house-cat, kinda stocky. It was obviously feral but didn't disappear as soon as a human came into view. I was always a LARGE breed dog person until I lost the last ne. Then I got adopted at the animal shelter by a kitten and have been being trained on cat ever since. I'm thoroughly convinced that a house cat is NEVER completely domesticated to the same extent of a typical dog. If you accidentally step on your dog's paw/tail... there will be maybe a little yelp and then the DOG will apologize over and over again. Accidently step on you cat and you get the stink-eye for a LONG time... she KNOWS you did that on purpose!
