China Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Our kitten, Onyx, keeps us entertained: Seen here lounging in the window: And here, helping me make dinner: Our older cat Lucy is not a fan, probably because he's always following her around wanting to play and she just wants to be left alone: 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s my boy but when he first came in, damned his **** stunk. As in literally eye watering. They were feeding him Cat Chow. I bumped him up to a cpl different iterations of $25/bag primo stuff. Still no bueno. Seriously considered parting ways. Shared a cpl chicken breasts for dinner and blammo, immediate change. Changed him over to canned food, the cheap stuff w the occasional chicken/ham supplement. Life is good. Sorry for the dissertation but yeah, it was bad. Try Fresh Pet. Originally for dogs, they now have cat food too. In a cold case in supermarkets. My dog loves it. I don't know of the varieties for cats. For dogs it's pretty good. More like fresh food.

It worked for me. I started with Nutro Duck and Sweet Potato (helps settle their stomachs) but it's hard to find, even on Chewy. They're on Nutro Senior Cat now, but prefer cheap-ass wet food that I only give once a day as a treat because wet food is terrible for their teeth. Neighborhood deck kitties get Meow Mix and the same wet food. No probs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 And Vicki is in the top floor of my biggest kittie tree, where she hasn't been in years. I guess I've finally gotten her diabetes under control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask and ye shall receive: Walked into the kitchen and found this. He discovered he can now jump high enough to get on the kitchen counters (where he is not allowed). Trying to look cute before I discipline him. Recharging before more mischief and showing the white spot on his belly: Harassing Lucy while she tries to eat: Lucy up on high, surveying the room: 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 We lost our two old girls this past summer. But we recently welcomed Chickpea into the house. She is a chewing demon, nothing is safe. And I love her. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Vicki is on the top floor of the cat tree!!! This hasn't happened in a few years, and I'm so happy. It means her diabetes is controlled, she's feeling better and can prance around like she used to. 😻 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I took Onyx on a road trip to pick up my daughter. Here he is taking it all in: And here he is being taunted by a squirrel (that gives no ****s that he's stealing from the bird feeder or that the cat is nearby): Lucy taking a sun bath: 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Meet Nikki, she is almost 6 months. She is a long coat German Shepherd so she will keep that long soft coat, but not the goofy ears.

To me he is saying, "dude get off that damn couch and let's go for a walk or a hike or something." He could literally run around all day. I'm like dude I'm 40, I know you are like a young teenager but let me get my chill on. My dog Noggin is the same way. He's only 7 months old but he's already established his routine for the entire day and he's strict about it. As soon as I wake up in the morning I let him outside, when he comes back inside, he immediately finds one of his pull toys and chases me around everywhere to get me to pull it. If I don't, he goes and gets another one. I guess he thinks I might like that one better lol. He'll keep getting more toys until I do it. Then a few hours later he sits there looking at me, eventually whining because it's time to go for a walk and he knows when too. I'm doing Chemotherapy so I don't feel good most of the time but I have no choice but to get up and take him outside. I ride around on a scooter anyway because my leg was amputated so it's not too much, it's just the cold sometimes. Noggin pissed because I won't go outside (prehaircut mopdog) Toy time (haircut 1/2 done lol) Grab the toy dammit!!! Seriously dude? 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Noggin watches tv anytime I put animals on. If I say look at the TV he runs over there and watches, barks, stands up to get closer etc lol. If he sees a squirrel on the TV though he runs over to the back door and starts scratching like crazy to get out to go chase one because he knows that they are out there and the TV isn't real. I guess he's smart. Edited February 5, 2023 by SkinsFTW 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Good luck with your treatment @SkinsFTW, we are all pulling for you. Love the stories of your puppy. Mine is the first one I've had that seems triggered by the TV. We watch nature shows a lot and when she hears a dog bark or a wolf howl she gives a reaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Since her diabetes set in, Vicki doesn't groom herself (and that's what she ALWAYS did) and she's a long hair, so I have to cut out clumps and take her to get groomed. Not a good visit for a cat. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepherds, Goldens and Labs are my favorite breeds, Border Collie is in the mix but they are too full of energy. I opted for another long coat Shepherd because unlike retrievers they slow down a lot at age 2-3 and as seniors we could not handle the energy of a lab for 3 years. But boy your baby is cute. One thing we are noticing is a 6 month puppy is so much easier than a 3 month, When Nikki was young she was getting into everything. Now she realizes coasters on the table and electrical chords and speaker wires are off limits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a rule when fostering that we would only do 2 or more because at least they play with each other. But I've always wanted to raise a pal from a puppy and the timing works. But I wouldn't do it again. It's a one time experience. Glad to be able to do it but only want to do it once. Sorry, I forgot the pic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
