Help! I've got a kitten! [Vanity]
Mamma and Daddy cats, i'd guess | 7/25/04 | Me

Posted on 07/25/2004 6:02:18 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

I seem to have adopted a stray kitten as an indoor cat. I've never had a cat in my life! (I do have a Jack Russell Terrier.) What do I do now?!

Very accurate transcript, that. My kitty is named Zia, and there are pics of her and Janey on this thread.

I had a beloved cat declawed many years ago, and I will never forgive myself. She really suffered. It's like cutting your fingers off at the first knuckle. It's cruel. That's why I suggested in earlier posts that you get more than one scratching post - cats can be taught to use those and to ignore the furniture. Although I've had cat scratches, none have been deep or serious, and none have ever gotten infected.

While I've never had a cat do that, I did have a cat york up a hairball right in my husband's pager charger. It was on the floor near an outlet, and for some reason, that cat decided that that was the spot to cought it up.

Without going into detail, infection is a special concern for me. I've got plenty of time to think about the matter and consult on it, in any case.

The one time Janey got carsick, she yakked up right into the center console of my Olds.

Then she very carefully ate the sick up.

Then she yakked into the center console again.

Ah, the joys of furbabies.

Janey's actually my dog. Cat or dog doesn't matter; if food goes in, at one end or the other it's going to come out.

I have a cat that goes in and out and he insists on a litter box.... I really wish he'd take his business outdoors.. =o)

I've even tried not cleaning it... It doesn't bother him....

His name is Wanderer

That appears to be pretty unusual. Most cats I've known of don't much care for a dirty litterbox.

Check your shoes very carefully before putting them on.

The litterbox, your shoes, or the cat?

Actually, all 3... but I think the shoes stink because I haven't been wearing socks... because I'm too lazy to wash them. =o)
