Aww, poor Queenie... you've, no doubt, even tried those pill hider thingies (pill pockets, I believe)... not sure if anyone else has any ideas on the subject.

Jr. sounds absolutely adorable...

What is a pill pocket?
I'd try it on Sophie if I think it really worked
I tried a pill pusher I got from the vet and couldn't use it like her
So, that was a bust and waste of money, lol

If you google Greenies and medical problems for dogs, you'll read what I mean
I can't in good mind feed them to my cats knowing what they do to dogs
And FYI, my rescues get only Science Diet, they go through 3 big bags a month
So spoiled being indoors that they don't even try and get out when the front door opens

A Pill Pocket is a nifty little treat where you can hide the meds; while the ones that I've seen are Greenies, I know there are other brands...

Daisy, who's going to investigate Greenies now...

We have three cats. Well, one is deceased for a number of years, but she's still so present in our hearts. Her name is Cloud. Cloud and her daughter Frou Frou came to me from a co-worker whose fiance was allergic. Cloud had been a homeless cat who got pregnant on the street quite young. She was tiny yet LOVED food. What a wonderful cat. She used to lick my eyelashes. Need I say more. Cloud's daughter Frou Frou misses her mother and is very attached to me (and of course the feeling is mutual). Her latest interest is watching bird videos on Youtube. Our third cat Phoebe was brought into the relationship by BB (a rescue cat). She has one of those great loud motor-like purrs and sleeps in my arms like a teddy bear. My cats never bore me. If I had my druthers, I'd play with them all day every day

. Oh, and I recommend three tiered sturdy cat condos. Both our cats adore the condo we have.

My girlfriend has 4 cats and loves them to death. I used to have Himalayans and love them too they are so beautiful and would love to adopt one for my home but if she should move in there will be four cats and a dog Molly a JRT who is 10 years old. We would have some family here with all those animals but it would be fun. I miss having cats and enjoy all the posts about them..

My kids are Taurus's.. all seven! Any Taurus's out there? You know what I mean..they're all about the best food-human and animal, making love, the best furniture to sleep on, hunting, and doing/watching everything I do, and getting all possessive too lol!

Would you believe when I was a child I use to call my siamese cat Mr. Foo Foo?

turasultana · 03-23-2011, 02:04 PM

We have 6.

2 started out as mine - Pukis (pookie) and Esmeralda.
Pookie is about 13 and is a grey tabbie found on the street in the lower east side at about 5weeks. She's getting older but still has running fits and loves catnip and keeping everyone in line. Esme is a calico from Barc shelter in Brooklyn - she's about 6 now i think and loves to head butt you when you don't expect it. She never meows. ever.

3 came with the butch

Zoey - orange and white, not sure the age - street kitty now lovey dovey thing. Molly - sweetest cat ever - very gentle - about 4 yrs old - grey tabbie, Shane - she's a butch kitty. Tortoiseshell and bossy.

youngest is Morgan -a black kitty about a year old now. Found taped up in box in the street/trash. people are assholes. She's the coolest kitten ever. She loves squishy balls and hair ties and will fetch them repeatedly for you to throw. and throw. and throw. She also drops them on your head while you are sleeping. Recently she's decided 4Am is a good time to wake up at which point she climbs on me nuzzles my neck, purring loudly, and starts licking my nose, eyelids, chin...

they pee and poop a lot. i believe my main role in life is litter scooper.

WolfyOne · 03-23-2011, 03:23 PM

tura, I get the pooper scooper role, too
I seem to cater to them for all their little needs
The joy and rewards from watching them interact or act up, can't be matched

I think I was meant to be a caretaker of rescue kitties
Now if I could just find homes for half of them

I woke up this morning to my kitty perched atop the TV in the bedroom.
Her silhouette reminded me of:

Wow! I never knew this thread was here!!! I have 4 kitties. Tabitha is my 11 year old Tabby, Samantha is my 10 year old Siamese, Max is my 9 year old Siamese and Goldie is my 5 year old Tabby.
I'm having a problem with Sam that I need some help with. She refuses to use her litter box....I've tried different litters, putting the boxes in different places in the house etc..but nothing is working. Any ideas?
