They love warm places, don't they??!! I still have one boy left, who is old, but don't know his exact age, as we adopted him 10 years ago. He is a in and out cat!! Also he only has two teeth left in his mouth!! He eats well though!! this cat loves to get in a basket of cloths, right when they come out of the dryer warm. Sometimes, I think it would be nice to curl up in that warm basket. Maybe a eletric blanket would help?? |

I don't want them chewing on anything with electric current going through it. There are several towel-lined boxes for them to choose from, as well as the cat carrier, the beloved heated dvd player and the upholstered furniture. |

We still have 2 cats, both of which are around 6 years old so we're expecting quite a few more years out of both of them (fingers crossed). We will be getting them regular blood work done though just to be sure everything's good. |

Dragon, my boy does eat well, and I was surprised!! He has one fang on top left, and one bottom tooth!! His tongue kind of hangs out a wee bit, which I think makes him cuter!! |

Dragon, I have a mother and two of her babies, about seven and six years old, respectively. I have never brushed any of my cat's teeth. My vets have never talked to me about it. Do you think it is too late to try it? I assume I have to buy special brush and paste from a pet store. I can't imagine them allowing me to do it, as we have a hard enough time keeping the ears cleaned out. |

Oops, I just reread your post. I misunderstood it. I thought you said you brushed your cat's teeth. Do you? |

I should brush their teeth but like most folks I don't. Truly it's never too late to try starting though. You can use a special brush designed for pets or you can get a childrens soft toothbrush and use that. You do have to get special toothpaste though, human toothpaste has foaming agents in it which aren't terribly good for cats and also (and I speak from experience) because they can't swish and spit they end up foaming at the mouth and then they shake their heads and send toothpaste foam all over you living room. Not fun to clean up. |

Thanks so much for the directions. |

We are definitely keeping Shakira, the mother. Robert's viewpoint on the kittens is that we will try to find homes for all three. If not possible we will keep them. |

Yesterday Baldur got to hold each of them several times, it is no longer such a struggle to catch one. |

We used to have a black and white tuxedo cat (as we like to call them). He was one of the nicest cats I've ever known. My mom used to make "bones" for him to play with. She'd take one of those bags you use for produce and tie a knot in either end to make it seem like a bone. He'd play with these for hours and would carry them around in his mouth very much like a dog carrying a bone. I'm not sure if I'd do the same for a kitten though as they'd be just as likely to shred it and swallow the plastic. Also, I've tried it on my current cats and found them not nearly as interested. |

Dragon found a wonderful Turkey Pot Pie recipe last week and took advantage of the enormous amount of left over turkey my sweeties mom gave us from Thankgiving. |

Dragon, Baldur is shuddering over the amount of sodium in that recipe. At the very least please don't add the teaspoon of seasoned salt. The amount of salt in the condensed soup is more than adequate for this particular dish (not even considering that the shredded Cheddar would add even more). |

Dragon dear, don't listen to a thing that Baldur says, though adding the sherry would be nice. |

Your Auntie B used to prepare this dish with wild boleti mushrooms brought to me by a certain young ranger who spent hours hiking the lower ranges of the Dolomites. |
