Feline Follies

I actually moved my mouse because I wanted a clear view of the cat's face.
 
Beautiful cat. How old are they? I swear you had them long before your kids. Our Emma will be 8 this coming holiday season.
 
Both will be 13 this September, so we have indeed had them longer than our kids. We got them when we lived in Romania back in 2006!
 
Is it just me or are 100% of user reviews when it comes to pet food completely unreliable? Every single brand of pet food ever made has people swearing up and down that they're the sole reason for their pet's health problems.

"I've given my cats Brand XYZ for 12 years and now they have urinary issues."

Maybe they have urinary issues because they're 12. :shrug:
 
How does your cat greet you after you have been gone a few days?
Haven't tested the "few days gone", but if we're out for several hours / all day, we typically find them napping in their normal spots and/or chillin' by the window watching the world go by. If their food bowl is empty, at least one will let use know right away. However, when I get off work, Sherlock will greet me at the door and then run to the restroom where he jumps up on the sink and "asks" for the water to be turned on a trickle. I can put a fresh bowl of water down, and he still wants to drink running water.
 
Junior usually runs to greet us, meowing at us rather frantically. "Oh my God, where have you been?"

if we're only gone a short while, he lies on the couch and naps, and just gives us a "hey" little meow when we come back.

My male had cystitis/crystallized urine about 8 years ago, most likely from not drinking enough water. The vet gave him subcutaneous fluid and suggested I do the same. I wasn't really comfortable with that, so I started "watering" him 3x a day, first with Pedialyte, then later with the spring water I put in the cat bowl.

He hasn't had another issue and he's 15 now. He doesn't like the waterings, or the daily teeth brushings, but he's alive enough to grouse anout it.
 
:guffaw:I confess I thought of that! One of kitties hides in the shower and stays just enough out of droplet range to avoid getting wet but close enough to attack the droplets. She's Siamese mix- they'r supposed to "like" water more than some other varieties.
When my mom was a teenager she had a Siamese that used to ride around in her shoulder even at the beach. The kitty also liked sitting on the top edge of an open door. One day mom was getting out of the shower and Pyewacket jumped down on her shoulder from the door and slid down her back with claws out. :eek:
The neighbors thought they were hearing a fire engine or something.

That sounds excruciating- your poor mom. *shudders*

One of the cats (not the Siamese mix) jumped into the bathtub while I was taking a bath. Lots of screaming and flailing and scratching ensued. The cat was upset too.
