Karolyn, I think you are a smart cat mom!  I have read and heard that cats
love it when people think vertically.  It makes me smile to remember when my
big shy male tuxedo cat Myca was a kitten, and he first encountered a
houseguest whom we had invited to stay for a week.  It was quite unnerving
for him!   For almost the entire week, he slept in the top of my closet!  I
think he felt the safest there.

Re: 20 CATS...




I think that's so cool, Chris.  I'm sure there 
are lots of factors that influence how cats behave toward each 
other.  But I would love it if my cats enjoyed each others 
company as much as we enjoy them individually.  Maybe they do in their own 
way, and I am just not privy to it.
 
Sometimes I see mine all sitting in a sort of 
a circle with each other, all facing each other, just...sitting.  When 
I happen on that situation, I wonder if they are having a private, 
silent "cat meeting".

Re: Cotton's visit to new vet

Thank you Wendy!  I'm very encouraged as well.  I should get young Mr.
Cotton's lab results tomorrow.  He's been a very good sport about his
metranidazole pills.  He's his usual happy bouncy self as soon as it's all
over.  Sandy

Re: Lots of cats - Nina

Nina you know, I still enjoy my dogs and other's dogs, but much of the time
when I look into their faces, I see..."I need something from you."  (Pet me
now? Gonna eat that? Gonna let me out now? Not now?  How bout now?)  Could
be I have anxious dogs.
But when I look into the eyes of my cats, I see that they truly enjoy my
presence. They seem to convey such peace to me.  The adult cats exude calm.
Most of the time.   I guess they don't exude calm when they are chewing on
my hair or sitting on my chest licking my nose in the middle of the night,
but you know what I mean.  So I have to agree with you about the spiritual
quality cats posess.

Kerry, that's exactly what happened to me! I 
had two that cuddled until #3 came along.  They don't hate each other, but 
they don't cuddle, either.  Now that there are 4, it seems the original 3 
get along a little better.

Cotton's visit to new vet

Hi Sandy,

It's great to hear that your Cotton found a vet that
is sane and sounds like intelligent enough to care for
him!  Thank goodness!!!  I wish I knew of a cat's only
vet that was good in my neck of the woods.  I hope
that the Interferon works.  I never put Cricket on it;
I wonder sometimes if it would have helped the anemia
or not.  Keep us posted on the course of treatment
they decide on for Cotton, other than Interferon.  And
let us know what you think about the effectiveness of
the Interferon after Cotton has been on it awhile.

CATS...
I have 13 indoor cats, 2 dogs and a rabbit. Everyone gets along
pretty good. The cats are not territorial at all with each other. In
fact, they end up all curled together alot of times. I think it is really
neat how close they all are to each other.

I've been working with a holistic practitioner for Gypsy's IBD.  On her
personality questionnaire, she asks about other fur-members of the
household.  It took me forever to list and describe everybody and the
way they interact!

Will be moving out of the Arlington area in Snohomish County. Husband says he wants us out of that county and King County. Anywhere is fine with him.

Re: Lots of cats - Terrie



Geez, I don't feel so bad now because of all my cats.
I have 4 rescues in which I'm glad to say two of them are Ragamuffins that were adopted over the weekend. Will be holding them until Friday this week.
 
"By the way my rescue of over 200 Ragamuffins is officially over" everyone has been adopted into loving homes"
They were adopted to people all over the country.
 
The other two are purebred Siameses that were turned into a kill shelter. Reason for surrendered is divorce. These two are siblings and are 7 yrs old. Very beautiful I might add.
Due to my relocating I have to keep my rescues down for the move. (Moving onto some acreage...YAY!!)
 
Then there are my outside cats (5)
My personal kitties are:
Ragamuffins (2)
Persians (3)
Siameses (6)

Lots of cats - Sandy

2005-11-14 Thread Nina


Hi Sandy,
You struck a cord with your story of dog-person to cat-person.  I was a 
"dog-person" too, until a very special cat entered my life.  I always 
tell people that say they don't like cats, that they just haven't had 
the opportunity to be loved by the right cat!  Someone on another list 
just posted about how cats are associated more with "energy" and dogs 
more with the "physical".  That hadn't really occurred to me before.  
When I thought back to when cats began entering my life, it did coincide 
with the point in my life when satisfying my physical desires, (I used 
to be quite the party animal!), became less important to me than 
pursuing more "spiritual" quests.


In answer to you question about cats being territorial, they are, but 
they are also very social.  Much more social than most people who don't 
truly observe them give them credit for.  It's amazing how dependent on 
each other they can become.  It's especially true of feral colony 
interaction.  I remember reading somewhere how cats get along better in 
large groups, (as long as they have enough personal space and their 
survival needs are being met).  That there can be more friction in a 
household with two to four cats than in one with five or more.  I don't 
know why five seems to be the magic number.  There's generally a bit of 
hissing and posturing that goes on while they work out their status and 
hierarchy, but it does seem like they get to the point that they become 
more accommodating of new arrivals, when they just keep coming!

But on the other hand, I have 4 who are all indoors, and they barely get
along.  I can't imagine what would happen if we added more.  Aren't cats
notoriously territorial?  I consider myself a cat novice, so I wonder what
those of you with lots of cats observe about yours.
