~ The Kitty Thread!! ~ Take 2!

Fenris back in the bed too! After a warm summer sleeping by the window he's snuggling up on my spot in the bed...little fuzzy pants pushes me out of the way to get in the center of the pillows!

Anyone else use those Greenies pill-hiding treats to give their kitties pills? I hope the person who invented this is a millionaire. Those things have probably been keeping my 19 year old little man alive for the past couple years. Leo just thinks he's a spoiled boy and gets 3 treats a day!

19! Wow, great!

We used to give our Annie Temptations brand cat treats (various flavors) which she LOVES but then I realized they are junk food for cats. Now we give her a few Felines Greenies (catnip flavor) as a treat. She's likes them OK yet not as much as the junk food treats but they are a lot better for her health and her teeth.

Seriously, that Greenie's brand is a godsend. They should make a catnip flavor for the Pill Pockets, too! Leo's favorite is the salmon flavor.

And yes, 19 years old! He is legitimately older than my little sister in people years by a few months!

OMG that cracked me up! Soooo cute! Looks like my mom's cat Mickey Rooney.

dankind, she looks gorgeous!

You are all so lucky that your cats like treats Ours is not interested in any. She is a very picky eater... We are trying to offer different brands of food every now and then because we don't want her to develop a food allergy because she is always getting the same stuff. But nope.

When we gave her the pills, we did it with a pill popper from the vet. As long as the pills are not too big, works like a charm, but I prefer giving meds in fluid form. Crack the pills, mix with a tiny drop of water, suck it up in a syringe with no needle, and easily squeeze it in.
We have now also moved our two palm plants (which were kitty safe) out of the house because we thought one of them had developed some kind of gunk, and we wanted to give it a try to see if the cat maybe also reacted on that. Living room is looking more empty now, but we are happy because it seems like she is doing good right now.
We also got some new litter. It's a special one for cats with respiratory issues and has the least amount of dust possible. It is crazy how big of a market for stuff like that is out there once you get a diagnosis...

I switched to a clumping kitty little because my back was so fucked that changing the litter box with the old regular non-clumping litter left me paralysed for a couple hours afterward. This clumping stuff makes SO MUCH DUST I have been tempted to wear a face mask while changing it. I've never seen a cloud of dust after pouring fresh littler into the box until I started using this stuff. But it is about a million times easier on my back so I'm sticking with it for now.

I also picked up the new Meow Mix brand treats (they were on sale, I figured a little extra treat would be nice) strangely my cats don't really care for it. I mean they eat it, but mostly cuz I put it in with the dry food. Not like the greenies which they go nuts for.

Leeze, she looks stoned.

Yeah, we have NO plants in our home anymore. Sucks. Can't even have roses or other flowers since they eat them (not poisonous but oh man does it give them the runs).

My two loves

I come home to kitty napping in her post in the sun.


Oh, now she notices me.


And full on, I'm a crazy kitty.

Thank you, SD
