as usual when I check on this thread Angie is off somewhere snoozing. I love her to pieces, but seeing at all the activities in your homes makes me wish we weren't a one cat family. We all miss Angie's little bro, but since my Dad is our pet sitter when we're out of town I made a deal not to replace Thor until Dad passes. I hope Angie is an old lady by then.

You would think I would have known better than to leave a container of spreadable butter open on the kitchen counter....walked in and found Misty licking it.....ewwwwww

My cat just sneezed all over the monitor.

I had a cat that used to eat nachos and pasta and bananas and bread and pretty much anything I left out. I had to be just as careful as if I had a dog.

My cat is collecting fleas. I have used both ultra guard and frontline on her, and given her a flea bath- yet when I checked her tummy last night she still had those little bastards running around. Going to try giving her another bath, and deal with her repercussions(she IS spiteful and I WILL pay). I get the skeevies trying to cuddle with her right now, knowing they are there.

whisperedpleas -> RE: What is your cat doing? (11/15/2011 9:47:40 AM)
the minute shampoo hits the cat the ultra guard or frontline washes off...it is water proof though its not shampoo proof :(

I tried the back of the neck stuff before I went out of town two weeks ago. Shampooed about 5 days ago. Her fur is shiny and soft, and I think it may have gotten rid of some fleas on her back, but her tummy is infested. ETA Think if I hold her with her belly underwater long enough they will all drown? Do fleas drown?

Has he tried to get out since the "omg GRASS!" episode? yeah... this morning as I was trying to get groceries in the house. one of the neighborhood cats had been lounging on the front step, I guess he wanted to sniff or something. little beast.

No. Fleas don't drown. Give her Advantage. Frontline takes a few days to work. If you bathe her within a few days of giving it you wash it off. Advantage works QUICKLY!!

My kitty Gnocchi is sleeping as usual....I just saw this video of a cat who as a kitten lost one of his legs and the video is so cute describing the story of him....Here it is: http://blogs.catster.com/kitty-news-network/2011/11/10/tripod-kitten-inspires-everyone-he-meets/?v=1

Since it's chicken night. both of mine are here begging for tidbits.

Am I really the only one whose cat doesn't beg for/try to steal food?

xxblushesxx -> RE: What is your cat doing? (11/15/2011 5:18:28 PM)
All of our cats are food "hounds". lol And yes, they beg, borrow and plead. Little miss PandaLion has a unique way to do it. First she'll sit on the floor, look at you and meow. Then she'll gently tap you with her paw. Then she'll add a teensy bit of claw action with the tap. If you're still not serving her wishes, you get a big hard tap with full on claws.

My kitty did like people food when she was a kitten but now she would rather eat cat food only....last night though I put some very small pieces of a hot dog on a paper towel while I was eating in bed and she ate it...usually she doesn't though.

I get nothing from Maggie, she naps beside me til I'm done. Oh and she's never had a hairball.

She is fluffy and every summer I shave her so she wont be too hot. Would that help?

Holding her tummy underwater wouldn't do any good anyway, since the bugs would just move to higher ground.

Cold might make the fleas lethargic and easier to catch, but the cat may not like the cold. You might tried a bath in yoghurt. When the yoghurt dries it may clog up the fleas' breathing apparatus. Or a bath in diluted acetic acid; I dunno what that will do to the fleas, but they might find it unpleasant.
