January 20, 201412 yr Author Someone posted that on Facebook, didn't realize it was real. They even put in the multiple layers for flexibility! Yes, you can haz cheezburgr, warrior kitteh.
August 16, 201411 yr Just in case you were in need of such a thing...... This is the greatest thing since deodorizing litter: The Our Pets WonderBowl Selective feeder http://www.amazon.com/OurPets-WonderBowl-Selective-Pet-Feeder/dp/B00C1BYETO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408160857&sr=8-1&keywords=wonder+bowl There, or at drsfosterandsmith.com (from whence I stole the picture) Cat wears an infrared pendant key thingie and his/her private bowl opens just for him or her. We've had two of them - for Enigma and Jazz - for a few months now. And it actually works! Everybody gets their own food. We know who's eating what. Life is good. Donut still has a regular bowl. He was the one who was getting bigger while the girls were getting tinier, so he's not in need of reserved food. I wish the pendant was smaller, but the cats don't seem to mind at all. It took a while to teach Enigma to use it, but she taught Jazz in an afternoon. Battery life on the bowl has been excellent. Battery life on the pendants has been OK, but to be fair, who knows what kind of ratty batteries they sourced as OEM. (our D-cells for the bowl, OEM 2032 for the pendant)
August 16, 201411 yr Author Thanks, I may need that (Bobby needs to go on a diet, and they fight less when they're fed, so conflicting requirements).
August 17, 201411 yr Author Hurray, they slept together! Came across a dark furry blob last night that was too big to be either one of them individually, upon closer inspection, they were spooning. They still tussle, but I think I can stop worrying that one of them is going to "accidentally" kill the other. Also, Skye is up to 9 lbs., so Bobby is no longer 2ce her size (at 16 lbs.).
October 30, 201411 yr The breeder I bought Jax from sent an e-mail out this morning, they have one kitten left from their most recent litter: I don't need a second cat, I don't need a second cat.......
October 30, 201411 yr The breeder I bought Jax from sent an e-mail out this morning, they have one kitten left from their most recent litter: I don't need a second cat, I don't need a second cat....... This is head case, dew eet! (Or does that only apply to inanimate objects)
October 30, 201411 yr It applies to any awesome object or being. That cat is more than awesome. Deeew it!!!
December 26, 201411 yr Author Took Skye to the vet today -- she was getting fatter, I thought it might be worms or something. Nope, she's just getting fatter -- she stopped growing a couple months ago, and the vet explained that it's often the cats don't get used to their new metabolism right away. However, we need to fix this now, because if it goes on for a couple years, she could get diabetes, so I'm going to have to get one of them wonderbowls for Bobby (he's at a good weight and looking pretty good now, actually).
December 27, 201411 yr Good luck to kitty..... We're taking one of ours, Gryphon, to the vet Monday. Occasional vomit, and too many loose stool, often outside the litterbox. We thing something going on with stomach. Perfectly normal and fine all other times.
December 28, 201411 yr Cinder has started sleeping with McKenna and soothing her nerves, except when he jumps on her broken legs...
December 28, 201411 yr Author Very good (well, mostly). My ex-housemate was a big believer in the empathic abilities of kitties -- they sense when you're hurting and attend you more when they detect pain.
December 28, 201411 yr Nice to see a smile, Larry, hope she's feeling better.....and good kitty........
July 29, 201510 yr Author Skye turned one recently...alright, like over a month ago, but still...recently. Her gotcha day was 7/9. I missed it. I still have her.
July 29, 201510 yr That's the official "Where's my fucking present...? You FORGOT my birthday???!!!" look.
July 29, 201510 yr Skye turned one recently...alright, like over a month ago, but still...recently. Her gotcha day was 7/9. I missed it. I still have her. Happy first birthday! -- My old gal, Sushi, turns 17 in October! She has been an indoor cat basically the entire second half of her life which seems to have kept her in good health. She is still as fussy, affectionate and spry as she was 5-10 years ago.
