And I have no clue what to do with the thing.
Bad timing... the property manager is inspecting units tomorrow and I do not have a pet deposit which is at least $300. I'm not sure I want to let this thing loose in my apartment because I may never find it again. I'm no judge of cats, but it looks less than a year old. Doesn't seem to be feral or violent (yet).
Looks like a little orange and white tabby.

I'm sorry!

But I wanted a dog. :(
Looked at some dogs over the weekend after dropping off some food at the shelter. Publix had big bags of Purina on sale for $10.

Your jokes are as bad as my sister's.

My advice to you is to put the tyke in the bathroom, with a bowl of dry catfood and water each. Make sure you have a litter box in there with it. Keep the toiletcover seat down. Put the toilet paper in a closet(mine happens to be the champion shredder). A box with a blanket or old towel would be good as well.....

Yup. Landlord ain't likely to go trippin' in to your bathroom.
Of course, if the cat starts ripping up the wallpaper and bouncing off the walls while the LL is hangin' around, your ass will be sucking buttermilk. :-)
-
Done and done. Got the cat transferred to the bathroom with cold water, food, and a litter box. Whether he knows how to use the latter I guess I'll find out in the morning.
Joke's on him... I'm out of TP. :tongue:
I folded up an old sweater and put in the pet carrier. I suppose that will have to do for a bed until I can get something else.

It'll probably just hide.
Took me almost an hour to coax it from under the car it was hiding under into the carrier. I expected more of a fuss on the ride home in the car, but it was okay.

Well you don't need to keep him in the bathroom when you are there, unless you work overnites...Just keep him in the bathroom when you are at work. Get a spray bottle to help train him not to scratch furniture or anything else you don't want him to do(jump on table, countertops). You should let him sleep with you , so you have a nice bond.

It had a brother/sister that got run over messing around in the road. The cat was hanging around the body and surrounding area.

H5 for taking in the "hands up" cat :-)

Aww, sounds like a cute little guy. Get the kitty checked out for FIV/FeLV before you invest too much emotional time with it.
Been there too many times. :(
-
That was very nice of you to take him in, Chris. I have one kind of that color, too, and he was found as a kitten hanging around his dead mother by the side of the road. He's the best cat, never has done anything wrong. A real peach. Have you named it yet? How's he doing? Did he take to the litter box OK? I imagine he did.

orange tabbys are the best one's

Yeah, he found the litter box on his own and used it. From the looks of it, he ate plenty last night and no accidents to clean up yet. He was calm this morning. I got up early to check on him and refill the water bowl. I have to leave him in the bathroom until I get home but I'll let him wander around the apartment later. I blocked off the kitchen with some big boxes I weighed down and can close the door to the bedroom. He should be okay.
I think it has yellow eyes. Is that normal? They're a mix of green with mostly yellow. (The whites are white. He doesn't look sick.)
-
like this?

Chris, good on you for giving the little guy a home!!
You only need to lock him in the bathroom for a day or two while you are gone to make sure he uses the litter box, then he can find it on his own.
Either leave the food and water in there too, or move it to your kitchen. I have always fed my cats dry cat food, the canned stuff stinks too much as far as I'm concerned. I have one of those tower things that holds a small bag of food, and they eat whenever they want.
I have TP shedders...Puffer ( :bawl: ) and Bailey shred with their teeth, the other two could care less about it. Mine have had their front claws removed, so I don't have to worry about damage or them clawing their way up the furniture.
Cats are difficult to contain...they can find their way into or over all kinds of situations. If their whiskers "fit" through a space, they think their bodies will too. He will most likely want to sleep with you too. Make sure not to leave any food out on the kitchen counter. None of the girls grab anything off of my counters, but I did have one before that would grab baggies of cookies or biscuits and shred them all over the place.
If you are going to keep him, I would recommend that you get quickly get him neutered. I have only had one male who was older than we were told, when he was brought into the house. He was not declawed or neutered and he was a holy terror. He clawed up a leather wingback chair and sliced up the sides of a cherry armoire, and I would find him sitting on top of the cornice boards after he climbed up the drapes. He also "sprayed" his territory all over the place. After about a month of this, he went to a new home, I got new hardwood floors in my LR, DR and foyer and new carpet all upstairs. The ex didn't bring home any more "surprise" animals after that.....
-
I'm keeping it out of the kitchen for now. I had to live with a female cat that wasn't spayed. What a monster. I'll never do that again. I called a nearby vet... it's $60 for a checkup and tests. I'll stop by on Saturday.
I don't think he's big enough to reach the toilet paper roll. I did leave some "toys" in there with him. A half-full bottle of fiber pills (it rattles :-)), a ball, a knotted-up terrycloth, and a small cardboard box.
I have no idea what I'm doing. :rofl:

Not to worry, they are quite good at training their "parents".

You have a cat, you don't own it, it owns you. Enjoy.
BTW I have an orange tabby, Tigoo, by name. He is, by all accounts, a glorious bastard. :lmao:

You are doing a great job Chris. I would suggest a scratching post so he scratches that and not your furniture. If you have plants, get some cat grass as a deterrent(At your local Walmart in the pet department :-)). get a stuffed mouse if you can. Jingles has one that she loves, loves, loves!!
-
Already got a scratching post. It seems to be avoiding me right now.
Time to change the litter box. Phew.
-
Everything in my apartment is pretty much cat-proof as it is. Scratchy surplus office chairs and a sofa that is older than I am, wooden desks, and metal tables.

Have you picked him up and cuddle with him yet??? you mentioed once you were tall. If he is small enough , put him on your shoulder and scratch behind his ears. Walk around the room and reassure him. And give him a name!!!
-
He barely lets me touch him. I haven't tried to pick him up yet.

You might want one of these first.

In addition to your scratching post, you might want to get a cardboard scratcher. I have some cats that use only the post, others that are exclusive to the scratcher, and one that doesn't care which one he uses, so long as he gets to scratch something.
-
He (I think I saw a set of berries down there) used the scratching post to scratch himself with. It's the other way around, dummy! :rofl:
He seems to understand 'no'. I picked him up and the claws came out, so I put him back down.

He's really skinny and has these hollow areas on his body. It looks a little disturbing.

That's why his turds stink so badly -- he's been eating bugs and snails and all manner of stuff besides regular cat food, which gives his turds a DIFFERENT kinda stink.
Load him up -- feed him plenty. He'll love you long time. :rotf:

Uh huh.
It'll get better as he eats more real cat food, gets healthier.
-
He tore into the cat toy I bought for him. There's not much left of it, but I wore him out yesterday.
He's discovered chairs. Now he likes to sit up high and watch everything.
-
A wadded up foil ball makes a good free cat toy.
My latest adoptee, a girl, doesn't like being picked up at all. She's very affectionate if I pet her while she just sits/lays there. He may never be a cuddler. Oh Frank, her name is Ellie. Don't you have an Ellie?
-
Someone had their first accident.
I made the mistake of vacuuming the living room. Cat immediately pinched a loaf on the carpet.

the poor little tyke!!!maybe you should put him in the bathroom when you vacuum. I put Jingles(She is 2) in the bedroom when i am cleaning using chemicals like ammonia or bleach.
-
Yeah. Oops.
He's lounging on one of the extra chairs here. I guess he's okay now. Good think I always keep a box of latex gloves around, mostly for auto repair and cleaning.

happens to me EVERYTIME! :whistling:
-
He didn't eat as much today but he's looking a little better. Maybe that's why he was so fussy yesterday, because I didn't re-fill his food bowl. There was still a little left. Play time was okay. I tried to convince him a rattle made a good toy but he didn't go for it; he still prefers the thing-on-a-stick.
His teeth are very tiny. You can barely see them, which is okay with me. He hasn't tried to bite me.

And I have no clue what to do with the thing.

Well, the fur does tend to clean out the underside of the lawn mower.
The shovel is just to remove the sticky bits. :-)
-

Fixt, because he will. It'll be a little "love bite."
-
He'll know now to run and hide when you are vacuuming. Mine disappear soon as I turn it on. They do not like it at all!!!!
He might have not eaten much yesterday because there wasn't much left in the bowl....he's had to look for food probably most of his short life, and he's trying to save it. Go get one of the small food tower and bowl combo things. Saw some at BigLots here last week and they were about $3. You are getting kitten food, right? Do not give it milk either....supposedly it's actually bad for them.
Wait til he decides to use your finger for a teething stick! :wink:

have you found the kitty's ass button?
old George Carlin bit :lmao:

Chris for the love of Mike, leave that poor cat alone.
Leave out food and water, take a walk and if possible find a tree stump, bring it home and the cat has a natural scratching post. No need to spend money for a manufactured scratching post that may have chemicals in it that the cat finds offensive.
Ignore the sucker for a few days and natural curiosity will bring the kitten to wonder why and start trying to get your attention. Anything in your apartment that is 5 feet or more high will be a challenge to the cat to climb on and sit watching HIS HOME.
Save your nickles and dimes and buy the electronic cat kitty litter cleaners. Wonderful things you only have to dump a full tray once a week and never have to manually clean up. I have 2 full grown Maine Coon cats that are so large their dumps are larger then my dogs. No way I could keep up with cleaning their offal were it not for the device that does it all.
Cats hate to be ignored, you will find this out when you go to bed and find the cat sleeping on your head.
BTW, cats do nip or love bite each other and if your cat nips or love bites you do not take offense, it means the cat has excepted you, don't get angry just move aside, this is CAT behavior that means they love you.
Make sure your tetanus's shot are up to date, and make sure the cat has a place to sleep next to you, never know when a winter storm will cause loss of heat and that cat may keep you warm in the cold.

Given the chance, he will sleep with you. Only way he won't, is if either you lock him up somewhere or keep him out of your bedroom. Which wouldn't be very nice to him. :(
One of mine stays snugged up next to my side all night long regardless of the temperature, she changes position each time I do. Only difference is whether she sleeps on top of the covers or underneath.
Another one does the same with M. He sleeps sprawled out on his side, and the cat sleeps between his legs behind one knee or the other, depending on which side he's laying on. She will not move all night. I hate it when he's not in the bed, cause she comes over to me, lays on top of the covers right under my neck and will not move! Makes me feel trapped.
The other one moves back and forth between us. She either lays at our feet, or she figures out a way to lay right on top of me.
Remember, as someone already mentioned.... "Cats own us, we don't own them".
-
Not all cats dislike the vacuum. I have one that I brought up from a little tiny guy, and he LOVES to be vacuumed. :mental:
-
Still trying to decide if I want to keep him. I'll have to make a decision by next month if I want to pay the $300 pet deposit.
I was pissed off all day at work because I kept smelling cat shit and couldn't find it. Now my clothes stink, my apartment stinks. I'm being careful to keep my clothes and shoes away from him when I'm not wearing them, but I can't find where that damn smell is coming from.
-
your upper lip? :lol:

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrl.............. H5!

I need something like a small fly-fishing rod with a toy on the end. That way, I don't have to move from my seat when it's playtime.
He seems to enjoy the cardboard boxes under the desk. This whole apartment is pretty scratch-friendly.

K Mart or Walmart should have either a child's rod or an ice fishing rod which would be short enough to use.

I can't tell if he's eating, but he doesn't look as gaunt as before. At least he stopped running away when I get up from the chair.
Ridiculous. Thank God it's Friday.
-
Oh Chris, reading all 5 pages of this post was HILARIOUS!!! :rofl:
Yeah, cats own you not the other way around. Damn furballs.
Give the little guy a name and you're done for. Good on you for rescuing the little thing. Sounds cute!

Go to walmart in the pet dept
#1 a package od midnight crazies. small balls with bells in them...throw them around the room and he will get excercise
#2 a package of assorted cat toys, includes 4 balls, a few crinkly things, and a stuffed mouse. You will spend 6 bucks max on both items.....
#3 and a small food tower.Debk suggested that, and i agree. Kitten dry food...Meow Mix and Purina are good choices...(Meow Mix has always been my fave, because of its variety of flavors)

I know I'm late to this campfire.
Someone may already have mentioned this, but they are ALL violent. If you have one that doesn't seem violent it means that on top of being violent he's also sneaky.

:rofl: Sounds like you don't care for cats either.

:rofl: Sounds like you don't care for cats either.
Actually I like cats. I just know them.
I have one that will follow me around like a dog. She won't have anything to do with anyone but me. My wife asked me why the cat would be vicious around her but almost loving around me. My answer was that I showed the cat that I could be violent too. The first time the cat slapped at me I walked to the other side of the room where she landed after hitting the wall, looked down at her and asked if she wanted to go again. Since that time we've been best buds.
-
Our relationship hasn't progressed to that point. I'm still trying to get my hand close enough to pet him without him trying to claw it off. He's just now getting to where he doesn't freak out when I stand up to go take a leak.
Yeah, he's a dumb cat, but even dumb cats can learn.
-
He's spent the first weeks of his life being terrified, and you are very very big to him.
Cats do jump when you make a sudden move or noise. We have one that sprouts wings if you sneeze when she's laying on or next to you. She jumps like she's been shot out of a cannon. It's kinda funny as long as it's not your body she sprung off ....those back claws dig in quite well before the spring. :thatsright:
Another good toy at Walmart is the little fuzzy balls with feathers attached. Cats love feathers. I think it must be an inherent memory to "kill" something with feathers. There are 2 or 3 to a package.
Get the water tower too. Since you aren't used to having a pet, it will make sure that the little guy always has water....provided you remember to fill it once a week or so. :wink:
-
He responds well to noises. Flapping wet-mouth noises = eat, silly mumbling and noise = All is safe.

My son married a woman that was scared to death of cats, she Had no idea why, just the way she was.
Son loves cats and decided to overcome his wife's phobia by bring home a tiny kitten. My DIL ignored the kitten until when watching TV the baby climbed up and fell asleep on her bosom.
Today they have 2 cats, no more fear for DIL with her cats but she still is uneasy around my giant Coon Cats.
Cat toys, Son found a on line site and bought for 2 years these Mouse toys that were made of rabbit fur.
Cats loved the things, then for some reason the company replaced the fur with some kind of fabric that the cats ignored.
Son fired off a few Emails to the company about the change and is still looking for rabbit fur toys for his cats. Darn some people amaze me on the amount of emotion they invest in an Animal.
My cats favorite toy is the dogs they are twice the size of, chase the dogs about, tackle them and drive them nuts.

Oreo will jump up on my wife and lay on her. It's a dominance thing. If one doesn't put their hand on top of the cat when the cat does this, what the cat thinks is, "I'm dominant over this human." I've told my wife a few times about this. She usually puts a hand on top of the cat when Oreo does this.
As for the violence bit, when Oreo hisses at me due to me doing something that she doesn't like, I hiss right back at her--with an open mouth, and my teeth showing. Oreo gets the message. She's not "Top Cat." I am.

Silly cat. It acted like it didn't want me to leave this morning. It started following me around last night.
There's not a whole lot of room to trail someone around here. It's just a 1BR.

If he's hissing at you, he's feeling threatened for some reason.
Give the little guy a name, Chris, and make friends with him! You know you are going to keep him, so just give in to the inevitable and start lovin' on him. That's all he really wants - someone to take care of him, give him food and a safe place to live. If you would allow yourself, you will get lots of comfort from him.
-
He freaks out when I get home, like he forgets I live here after I leave in the morning. He seems to have relaxed and is playing with my shoelaces now.

He's mostly housebroken. Other than scaring him with the vacuum cleaner last week, he knows where to go and he does it without any mess.

Maybe it his way of showing displeasure for being left alone. I know dogs suffer from separation anxiety , cats might too.

:lmao: Cat got himself shut in the bathroom all day. He's not happy! Whoops!
Seems to enjoy watching TV, though.

You know it's 95 degrees outside, right?

BTW, don't sleep with the cat. You'll wake up with it sucking the air out of your lungs. Evil f'ers.

It caught and ate a cricket that found it's way inside.
Glad it's trying to earn it's keep.

He'll eat out of my hand but he still won't let me touch him. I tried to play with him and he ran away.

We had a cat named PC when I was little. Of course, PC stood for ***** Cat.

Didn't you get him at a pick n pull, or close to, at any rate??
There are tons of vehicle related names. You need to name him, he is your cat. :)

I bought my car from the cheapest car lot I could find in my area. This place seems to be the dent-and-dinged car lot... every car they sell has some kind of simple body damage on it.
My Camry has a dent on it and the bumper is smashed, but it was cheap. I already picked up a like-new replacement bumper but need to have that dent pulled out. A few hundred bucks and I can break even on what I paid for the car. You can't ask for better appreciation than that.
They have a Dodge Dynasty Iaccoca K-car if anyone is interested. :-)

Camry? That is a lame name for a cat or a car.
I still say Axle.

Oh well.
And he found a piece of paper somewhere. Merry Christmas! :lmao:

Name him "Dropoff". As in "Dropoff at the pound". :-)

I dunno. At least with "Asshole" you KNOW what he's all about. With cats, you can't really tell. The little bastard can be plotting your death or he could be contemplating the backs of his paws. :shrug:

Uncle Omar :p

This cat has serious behavior problems. It will brush up against me but if I try to touch it, it gets mad and tries to bat or claw at me. It's been almost three weeks and we have made very little progress.
It's still not insane like the feral cat an old roomate picked up.
-
I am not food. Stop trying to eat my hand.

Unless he is hissing at you, he is not mad, but wanting to play. You need to seriously get some cat toys for the little guy...

A cheap pen laser will work wonders.......
-

He wants attention. Let him crawl up next to you, and scratch him gently on his side. Cats don't like to have you come directly at their heads with your hand, unless they are very used to it. Your little guy isn't yet.
Brushing up against your legs is his way of "greeting" you or wanting your attention. So is turning his rear end toward you and/or having his tail quiver. The tail quiver means he's really happy to see you.
Out of our 3, only one likes to be picked up and held, and she prefers to be held against chest and shoulder just like a baby. The other two, prefer to crawl up onto us, and then attach like slugs....but it needs to be their idea.
-
I also have an idea, deb.
Never mind.......

I'm very late to this thread - name him Grady.
My cats always love it when I lay on the floor. They will come up to me and try to play. Of course, your little guy sounds like he might take advantage of the situation and rip your nose off.

I think this thing is in heat, which is why he's being so annoying. I haven't had a chance to take him to the vet yet.

-
Great. So I just have an irritating asshole for a cat.
No you don't.
There is something about feral cats...and I can't remember what it is. The two kittens we got for my daughter were feral rescue cats and there was something she had to do, when she got them, and I can't remember what it is called. Their foster mother was doing it, and J had to continue it for several weeks, because like you, she was gone a lot between working and going to x-ray tech school full time.
It getting them used to humans, to keep them more, um, tame? rather than feral. I remembered it when Traves said you need to get down on the floor with him. That's what J had to do. Lay down on the floor and let them come to her, and not try to force herself on them, to let them force themselves onto her, without her moving. I remember it was real hard for her, because she just wanted to gather them up and cuddle them.
We still have one of them, and she's the one who now wants to cuddle on our chest and shoulder. She's a big fat baby.
-
I think this may be female. I got a better look and don't see any testicles where I would expect them to be (I know nothing about cats).
And I still say it's in heat, or close to it.
-
Uh oh.
Looks like a trip to the veterinary's in the offing.
I hope you get some overtime at work this week.
-
I don't get overtime... it's not in my contract.
-
I don't get overtime... it's not in my contract.
Ouch.
I had the impression you're working more than 40 hours a week, and assumed there was overtime or another sort of bonus in it.
-
I stay over occasionally if I really have to get something done, but I only get paid for 40 hours a week.
I was hired as a contract-to-hire which should have been reviewed in February but probably never happened. I wasn't comfortable bringing it up at the time, but now my SLA numbers are consistently above 75% so I emailed my boss and his manager last week about a review. I should be eligible for a raise.
-

Okay.
But you're going to have to make that trip; a female cat in heat can make one's life miserable.
But you really need to check first, to be sure it's female.
-
Females don't normally come into their first season until about they are about 6-8 months old.
-
She looks about that old. She's been eating more this week than she did the last few. I came home Friday and the food bowl was entirely empty.
-
Well, then you best get her to a vet, and get her spayed.
As long as she doesn't go outside it won't be a problem, but you might have some horny males howling outside your apartment which won't make your neighbors very happy. :whistling:

Love orange tabbies! I have one named Indiana. I didn't name him.

-
Chris, did you ever find out of that was an orange tabby? Female orange tabbies are very unusual. We only had maybe three or four of them in all the years we had the cattery. I can't remember if they went into heat, though. :confused: :confused:
If it is beyond a couple of months old, you should start to see a "powder puff" developing.
[edit] Called the cat expert- otherwise known as mother- the sterile cats were the tortoiseshell males, not the orange tabby females.

You will know Cat truly loves you when it starts to lick your hair. I know that sounds weird, but if you had more than one, you would see how they clean each other's faces, tops of heads and ears. Yours will do it too, once it decides to "own" you. :-)

Cats, all cats have the same behavior from the 6 pound home kept cat to the huge jungle cats, only difference is their size and strength.
Odd my Maine Coon cats are much biger then my ankle biters but ignore the old dudes and spend hours a day playing with the young dog, the male his little hair on its tail from the Pup dragging him about by the tail. Odd behavior for a cat that will taunt a dog to chase them.
Cats are odd they wll give a love bite and it may hurt and then paw your face with claws withdrawn.
BTY my Boss was as he said attacked by his cat for no reason the sucker flew the air and bit him for no reason, boss got big time blood poisioning and was on antiboitics fo a couple weeks. He kept the Cat for some reason and after a few years still has him. I wonder what the Boss was doing at the time of the attack.
I have had cats that made some decision on their own about my visitors, some they would sit directly in front of the guest between me and the guest, follow the guest about the house and wait outside the bathroom if they used it. Back to the living room and took up guard duty never taking their eyes off them. Kind of creepy behavior but I made sure that guest never entered the house again.
I had one cat that took it apon themself to escort the kids to the school bus stop, came home and left to meet the bus and walk them home. WHY, we did not do anything but feed the cat, left a window open so it could go out, no one really bonded with the cat------ Cat are strange.
Were all cats to weigh 90 pounds we could not have them in our homes, they all have the same instincts, watch your cat chase a flash ligh on the floor or wall, outside cats bring home thopies to give to you be it mice or snakes, this is their gift to you, they expect to be praised for their gift.
This nice little kitty may guard you and give you love but remember, this little ball of fluff is a natural born killer and just don't understand they are not Lions. I have seen on You Tube a 5 pound cat scare the hell out of a black bear, plant them selves on the face of a pit bull and cause the poor dog to panic.
You are blessed to have a cat, watch them, let them come to you, talk to them and enjoy them, but allow them to be what they are CATS. These felines are not dogs or ayother pets you may get they are unlike and facinating to watch.
Welcome to the world of being owned by your pets.

God, this cat is such a sissy. I would be embarrassed to crawl behind the dishwasher and hide, but apparently it likes it back there.

All cats will find a "hide-y hole". It's where they feel safe, and they think no one will find them.
Probably some carryover genetic survival thing.
A couple of mine figured out how to get a hole in the cover of the bottom of the box springs on the bed in the guest bedroom. Took forever before I found that hiding place, and only did because I saw one go under the bed and disappear. :thatsright:
-
Still a wimpy fraidy-cat. WIMP! Runs away from everything.
This is the third day in a row I've come home and found the cat sitting in my spot on the couch. Purrrr.
Still need to take this thing to the vet, but I'm broke again. I'll be glad when my raise shows up next month.
-
You never did say--or if you did, I missed it--male or female cat?
-
I think it's female.
-
Well, I know it's an old-fashioned means of diagnosis, but it works.
Lift up the tail and look.
-
Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's female.

Have you given it a name yet?

-
Jingles likes to bend curtain rods!!! This is the third one she has broke, not to mention she ripped the window shade to shreds!!
The reason is if she sees another cat outside the window, she goes ballistic trying to get to it. Sometimes at 4:00 am her and another cat will start a cat fight through the window..hissing, scratching the window.. :argh:

Should I be concerned that my cat runs head-first into objects and doesn't seem to mind? In the last five hours, it has smacked it's head into the table leg, the wall, the oven, a metal chair leg, and the front door.

Your cat's still pretty young, and new to life.
If it continues over a long time, I'd get concerned, but if it's just a transient phenomenon, I wouldn't worry about it.
-
You're probably right. It doesn't do it as often as it used to.
When I brought it home, I caught it running into its reflection on a car bumper I have sitting in the living room. I had to move it off the floor so the cat would stop. It was pretty violent.

I'm not a cat person, but I do know younger cats will at times do some of the strangest things.
If it's something that's potentially destructive (to them), they need to be watched, but apparently one shouldn't get too concerned about it unless it happens for weeks and months. Cats aren't bright animals, but they do learn.
I think the cat's just still in that "trying to discover" stage.
By the way, have you named her yet?
-
No.
Hell, I'm not even sure what gender this thing is yet. Don't they remove all outer organs when they neuter/spay? It has this funny ball or tuft underneath the tail above the anus. I have no idea what it is.
It's only gotten to the point where it will let me touch it's stomach and legs. I haven't tried to go digging around for more information.

They used to remove all the outside equipment, and some veterinarians still do, but for aesthetic purposes (?--that's the words used to me), nearly all the time they leave the outer superficial organ intact.
You may be lucky; it seems a good possibility you got a male.

I had to Google "male cat testicles". Seriously, I don't know this shit. I have no ****ing clue what cat junk looks like. I finally saw a little red nub that sort of looked like a penis today so I decided to tackle this issue again.
I'm pretty sure I have a boy cat. It explains those things under his tail.

He is gorgeous and I hate animals. Out of all the cats I have ever owned, yellow tabbys have been the best and most endearing to me. Also the most retarded. I had one and he would hop on his back legs chasing my son when he was about 2yrs old. One day my son got out of the tub (about 1.5yrs) and we watched him go pick this cat up by the neck (stranglehold) and throw him in the tub, we were expecting a major case of neosporin for my son. That cat started swimming and from then own would get in the tub with him. Strangest cat. Our neighbors thought he was cool too, so cool that when they moved they stole him.

so me and hubby were in our prime....... I had just gotten the cutest little kitten. Maybe 8 weeks old........well we were missionary bumping uglies and I guess the kitten thought his balls were about the coolest toy around town. he ran out of nowhere and grabbed a hold of them and wouldn't let go, kicked them with this back legs....anyway, hubby hates cats and well I don't think we had sex again for like 2 months.

I'm a little concerned. My cat hat what looks like cold sores on his lower lip. He got scared when I tried to grab him to get a closer look.
According to the internet, this could be anything from feline herpes to acne from the plastic bowls I'm putting the food and water in. The internet recommended stainles steel bowls.

Try the stainless bowls. Our cat gets the same thing if we don't clean her bowl every now and then.

Never had it happen with a cat, but our current Beagle and our last two Beagles seemed to be allergic to certain types of plastic. We either use ceramic or stainless steel bowls .

Hey, here's a product I can't do without, in regard to pet messes, especially cat pee.
http://www.amazingwhipit.com/
It works with enzymes, so it "eats" the pee. Has a nice scent, like pineapple or something. This is so useful for those things you can't throw in a washing machine, like a bed or couch. You dilute with water, it's very economical. Let it soak in to your nastiness, cover with a towel, go to work, let dry, towel up excess.

Uh....not quite.
Males cats that are unneutered (and even some that are) tend to mark their territory by pissing.

Just let him, he will go to bed when you do, and stay quiet all night. Otherwise, he's just going to make it his mission in life to wake you up!

He doesn't "sleep". He runs around and scratches at everything while I'm trying to sleep. And the last time I let him in my bedroom, he messed up my sheets.

If he's scratching at your sheets, he probably wants under the covers. He may want to sleep under them, but most likely just wants to check things out. Ours only sleep under the covers when it's really cold.
Thought you said he "messed" on the sheets when you turned on the vacuum cleaner? You scared him! That's different from deliberately peeing on the bed. If he slept there, you wouldn't have to worry about him peeing there.

I leave the light on in the kitchen so he can wander around at night. But the light also keeps me awake. And him. So he's constantly in and out of my room until I've finally had enough and kick him out.
He's realized he can wake me up at 5am by scratching at the door and screaming. I guess that will have to do.

Oreo's pretty good about that, but being black-and-white, chances are I can actually see where she is in the dark (as long as she's within 10 feet).

There's probably a way a cat can be trained to not sleep with one, but I have no idea what it is.

It's not the sleeping that's the problem. It's the constant ****ing around. He was thumping on one of my kayaks ... it sounded like a drum. And there's the closet doors. Thump, thump, thump.

Full disclosure--when Oreo's water bowl goes empty, she'll move it across the linoleum tiles in the kitchen. It's a very distinctive sound. Water I go and fill at any time. Food? I'll go out into the kitchen and tell her, "It's not your time yet," and leave. She figures it out eventually.

Jingles is naughtiness when it comes to that. My bathroom is to the immediate left as you come out of my bedroom. She will stroll out in front of me and plops down right in front of the door. Then she tries to swat my legs as i try to race to bathroom in the early am. I am not exactly on planet earth, and my bladder is about to explode. Dang cat!!!

You really, really love your cat. I know this because you grump aloud about him, the way my DH grumbles and complains about our cats and dogs. Yet, come bedtime, we have to share our queen size mattress with usually around 4 or 5 of them, and he surreptititously pets them. My son's even worse-totally disses the animals verbally but whenever he thinks I'm not paying attention he's all over them handing out treats and pats.
Sound familiar? :naughty: :-)
-
I admit, I look forward to coming home most days.
He's still a little weirdo who runs away from me when I try to pet him. The Big Scary Hand must bother him.

Well, that static electricity does kinda make them spooky. Mine aren't happy with me when they get shocked either. Cats are independent critters, so we're told, but I swear most of mine act more like dogs than cats. Of course, I've had them for years in some cases.
Well, silly human, have you figured out what your kitteh expects you to do by the water dish? :rotf:
-
Hell if I know. There's water in there. What else does he want? :rofl:
-
Hell if I know. There's water in there. What else does he want? :rofl:
Some of my cats are very finicky about their water; anything over a few hours old is too stale for them. Lucy even hangs out on my bathroom sink and bats her paws at me when I walk by so I'll turn the tap on for her to drink running water. Last time I relented, I came back two hours later to a still running sink. Water is cheap out here, thank goodness!
I've got some cats so dang lazy they sit in front of the cat door into their litter room until someone opens it for them. :p
-
Yeah, I can see that. I prefer fresh water as well. I fill it up in the morning and sometimes at night.
My brother had this fancy little water fountain for his girlfriend's cat that looked like a miniature water cooler. It held about a week's worth of water.
-
For dogs and cats, and probably all other animals, don't put water in a plastic dish or bowl.
I'm not sure why; it's not going to kill them or anything, but apparently it makes the water less palatable to them. And cats of course usually drink far less water than they need, thus leading to kidney and bladder problems (and resultant high veterinary bills). With cats, one wants to encourage them to dine on water as much as possible.
A big glass or stainless-steel bowl gotten from the nearest thrift store for a dime or something, is best.
When watering the cats here--who drink water like there's no tomorrow (and hence no high veterinary bills for kidney or bladder problems)--I always put in two drops of grapefruit-seed extract per gallon of water, or thereabouts. I'm not sure why, but apparently it's good for them.
-
If the cat prefers to drink from the commode, which is porcelain, that's the number one clue to get a glass or stainless-steel bowl. At a thrift store, of course. Save your money.
-
I switched from a plastic water tower contraption that I had used for years, to a souffle dish that was only going to be temporary. That was at least 6 or 8 months ago. :whistling:
I put it in our bathroom, and refill it at least 2x's a day! The girls seem to drink quite a bit more water from it than they used to out of the other thing.
I quit looking for a new water tower. :-)

Some animals are allergic to plastics , too. Our first dog would break out with little blister like things on her chin, but we switched the plastic food and water bowls out and the problem went away. We've used small stainless steel mixing bowls since then. They're fairly cheap and easy to clean.
-
Another way to encourage more water consumption in cats, feed them some wet food, which they love and which of course contains alot of moisture. Mine get four cans a day to share, assuming each gets the same amount (not probable but oh well) that's half a can apiece. They do like the stainless steel water bowls okay, and even condescend to share with the dogs. No kidney or liver problems, thus far, with any of my cats.
The vet tells me some wet chow is good for their teeth. I free feed kibble and once a day the wet chow, change the water dishes twice a day, three times in the blistering hot summer. They enjoy ice cubes in the water bowls as well.
-
Jingles was upchucking quite a bit. I bought her an aqua tube it comes with a filter, and it rotates the water. Giving a commode illuisiion. She hasn't upchucked since.
-
Figures. My cat is afraid of the fan.
-
Hell if I know. There's water in there. What else does he want? :rofl:
My cat won't drink from the water dish if there is so much as a hair floating on the surface of the water. It gets changed on a regular basis. I usually have two bowls of water for her as well, so that if one is contaminated, she has another to drink from. She'll happily drink from the toilet as well.
She also tells me when it time to go to bed by meowing loudly until I lay down, and then she curls up next to me. She also recently learned how to flush the toilet. She is a smart cookie :p

Hey those stainless or ceramic bowls discussed above can be found real cheap at the Dollar stores. Another hazard of the plastic ones is that mine would overturn them constantly.

The blisters on his lower lip have cleared up since I switched to a stainless steel water bowl. He does have some black spots on his mouth but it looks more like natural pigment than some kind of problem.

Chris has been bitten by the cat bug, and he's got a really, really bad infection. :rotf:

My cat won't drink from the water dish if there is so much as a hair floating on the surface of the water. It gets changed on a regular basis. I usually have two bowls of water for her as well, so that if one is contaminated, she has another to drink from. She'll happily drink from the toilet as well.
She also tells me when it time to go to bed by meowing loudly until I lay down, and then she curls up next to me. She also recently learned how to flush the toilet. She is a smart cookie :p
Did your cat make the trip to Nebraska with you?

Not only is he worried about his cat, he is concerned about the cats of others. I would give you a high 5, but I just spent it on Ricky Bobby. :-)

She certainly did. She was absolutely silent during the plane trip and hid under the bed for several days once we got here, but she is happy now.

It is to entertain herself. She likes watching the water swirl down the bowl.

I think I've narrowed it down to KC (for "kitty cat" :-)) or Buddy. :rofl:
I feel stupid giving an animal a name. I might as well name a pair of socks.

Yeah, there's not a whole lot else going on between those furry ears.
-
I don't know if this has been noted before but...
"You're base all belong to them" or something along that line.
I got a 6 year old Siamese, got her as a kitten.
She is too much like a dog as far as I am concerned, she has this habit of getting all up in my grill when she hears a maple seed dropping to the earth.
She is just too much touchy feely, not really what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, I am a cat person but I was looking for something that was more standoffish.
More like an alpha male barn cat. What I ended up with was a lapcat with pointy feet (got to watch where she is walkin on my lap).
It's cool to hear that it knows how to flush the toilet, cats are deceptively smart, my cat can open the bathroom door, hop up on the vanity and turn on the sink.
She gets a drink and then watches the water swirl down the sink.
-
What I ended up with was a lapcat with pointy feet (got to watch where she is walkin on my lap).
:rofl:
My cat changes at the flip of a switch. One minute he's desperate for attention and can't leave me alone, and the next he's twitchy and scared of everything. I don't know if he was a stray when I picked him up, but he's still skittish. If he has somewhere to hide, he'll go there unless I get down to his level or lie on the couch where he can see me at eye level.
That's his favorite time of the day, when I get home and crash on the couch. It's cuddle time.
-
Now that I think back on it, three of the best cats that have lived with me and mine have all been Ferrel.
Kuntakitty: Ferrel kitten, My dad found it in a dumpster, a good cat, stayed to itself for the most part but didn't disagree to to being petted.
Bob: an adult Ferrel cat, my dad befriended him, we petted this cat at our own risk. He had jaws like a hydraulic vice and he always got our attention by laying teeth on us. It was also fun to watch him kick dog ass.
Rubjob: psycopathicly friendly, she was a druler when petted.
-
Kuntakitty
Rubjob

That ain't right.

Howse about Fluffy as in toilet bowl cleaner :whatever:

Oh btw, one thing that I think that works.
my cat is also a TP shreder.
The thing was that the TP was hung in such a way that all she had to do was reach up, grab and pull down.
In other words, the TP ran out over the the top.
Once I turned it around by making the TP dispence from the back and bottom she quickly lost interest.
It worked for me, your milage may very

My cat ignores the TP... I keep the roll on the shelf.

Our TP unroller is the one we lost last summer. Everytime I see a fluffy black cat, I think of her. Wonder if she is still scared all the time, now that she is at the Rainbow Bridge. :bawl:

Yrs ago we had a Gray & black tiger stripe stray cat that came around the property a couple of times,would hangout.let the kids pet him a little then would wonder on. This went on a couple of times over about a two week span. finally one day the kids fed him and he decided to adopt us as family and stayed. We named him Smokey Joe.
At the Time we had two mastiffs, basically gentle dogs but you know the deal between cats n dogs. After having Smokey Joe in the house for a couple days my son let smokey Joe out into the back yard into the dogs domain , we watched & listened from the kitchen to see what would happen. Smokey walked off the patio into the yard and just sat there. One of the dogs noticed the cat and walked over to smokey and nudged him over a couple of times and gave a little growl. well smokey went all Bruce lee on the dog front paws smacking his snout like greased lightning then jumped on the dogs face straddling his nose biting at his ears. it took the dog a couple shakes of the head to get the cat off. Smokey flew for a couple of feet but landed on his feet and just stood there hissing at the dog. the dog advance a little like it was going to do something so smokey raised up a paw and swirled it in the air a little still hissing. the dog backed up and turned around and walked away. Ever since then smokey and the dogs got along just fine,the dogs even coming to Smokey's defense a time or two.
Smokey Joe undefeated and still the champion was with us for about 8 yrs until he succumbed to kitty cancer.
-
Aw, poor Joe.
I don't know how my cat is going to react to my brother's dog but he runs away from everything else and hides. They came over last week and the cat disappeared.
-
did you name it yet?
-
The cat is spending the weekend at the vet to be neutralized and shot. And vaccinated.
Getting him in the carrier was easy enough. Dealing with the pee-filled crate was not. :puke:

There is no greater love that a man hath for a cat to send him in to have his balls cut off. :lmao:

I like this vet. It's only a couple miles from work and a straight shot from their parking lot to mine. I ran into someone from work in the waiting room (I forgot her name. Nobody ever forgets mine. :p)

But.....
Won't you be charged extra, and substantially so, for the weekend boarding?
My cats, I handled them like I handle myself with hospitals; in, get it done, and out as quickly as possible.
I had to keep each one there a minimum of 3-4 hours after the surgery was done, but after that, I was allowed to bring them home.
And I already knew that a cat still half-doped from anesthesia shouldn't be put around other cats, and so they each had a whole bedroom to themselves for nearly a day, until evening or something, after the operation.
-
They said it was $15 a day... I wasn't told anything about weekend charges. At that price, I agreed to leave him there over the weekend so I can finish packing. The movers are going to be here tomorrow.

Oh.
I forgot; you're moving this same weekend.
So then, probably a good idea to board the cat, lest the dog get some ideas about it.

You dropped the cat off at the vet and you're leaving town? That's one way to give the cat a good home and get rid of it. :-)
-
:lmao: I'm just moving to a different neighborhood.

Oh Chris, while I am thinking about it I wanted to mention, in case you are thinking about providing something your cat is allowed to scratch and climb around on.
I spent a good deal of time on this subject myself, even to the point of ordering building plans (which I think I still have if you would like to see them).
I ended up getting a cat tree from a company called Armarkat.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/29vexd5.jpg)
This thing stands 1 hand taller then me and i'm 6 ft.
It was $129.00 from their website...
http://www.armarkat.com/
Just for added info...I don't know if you already know this or not but a little more of my two cents.
When and if you go looking for a cat tree, don't try to judge it for base stability, the cat just needs to learn how to "fly" it.
Trust me on this...it's good to have something in the house that the cat knows it is allowed to scratch the smithereens out of (well, and a squirt gun).
-
$129 for some lumber covered in carpet. Wow.
Most of my furniture is bachelor-grade stuff... my uncle's Kmart pull-out sofa bed that is probably older than I am and a few old office chairs for seating. He doesn't have any shortage of stuff to scratch on and I've never discouraged him from it.
-
This is a little unnerving. I've gotten so used to the background noise with him wandering around messing with stuff and meowing... now it's quiet in here and it feels like something is wrong. :rofl:
-

Well, keep it in mind just in case some of your favorite stuff starts getting shredded...that's all I'm sayin (of course the assumption I am making is that your cat will be allowed to retain its front claws).
Next time you stop by something like a Petsmart price the 2 or 3 ft cat trees they sell.

Eaglekeeper, short of making that tree yourself, that's a good buy. I have to usher the spousal unit away from the ones at Petsmart/Pet Warehouse when we go there. That thing would be at least double the cost at either of those places.

This is so weird.

You could always go out looking for another stray to bring in, to tide you over.

-
Have you named that poor baby yet?
When you bring him home, put him in the bathroom or wherever you are going to have the litter box for several hours, so that he will use it and know where to find it, before he goes "exploring" about his new home.
When we moved, I did that with the girls and put their food and water in there too. It kept them relatively calm with the movers and all the strangers about, and also helped them adjust. I put the carrier in there too, and they slept in there the first night.
-
$500 vet bill. Ouch.

Well worth it though. Well it would be for a dog, but a cat, I'm not so sure. :-)

He got five-star treatment and grooming.
They found tapeworms which could explain why he is so skinny. Hopefully he'll fatten up a little. He's in a good mood and hasn't peed on anything since I got him home.

He likes the laundry room. He found out how to open the sliding door by himself and he hides out by the water heater. I have no idea what they find to talk about, but they seem to enjoy each other's company.

I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some stuff for a heavy duty toy-on-a-stick. It's reusable and he isn't going to break this one.

I just wanted to chime in, I have decided to move my cat from canned to dry food.
There are 2 reasons...
1)My cat had a problem that required having a tooth pulled. That was on canned food, I will explain this later.
2) It has improved her performance in the litterbox, I'll leave it at that but if anybody has a question just ask.
3) If you move to dry food you must make sure that the cat has water.
4) The reason I moved to dry food, (specifically royal canin) is for the larger kibbles...it sorta makes them chew them up more so it reduces vomiting but it also increases tooth cleaning.
Ok 4 reasons.
I dare you to brush your cats teeth.
-
Good on ya Eagle!!
jinges has a hard enough times getting her nails cut, never mind brushing her teeth. I have always fed her dry food, once I tried wet food, she was vomiting constantly and the throwup was harder to clean up. Also I have a special water bowl as well....
-
I've never fed mine canned food. Not because I was trying to protect them or the dogs...but because I couldn't stand the sight and particularly the smell of canned cat/dog food. :puke:
I've used Iams for over 20 years. Since the hairball formula came out, I use it. If I don't....there are "gifts".

Is that BOB??
-
Of course.

Is that BOB??
It's Robert. :tongue:
In other news, I've referred to Oreo as "Double Stuff" on more than one occasion.
-
Of course.
Ah HA!
Documented evidence of acceptance that Bob is named BOB.
:tongue:
-
Of course.
Is he more loveable towards you now?????? You said in the past, he was a bit standoffish.....
-
It depends if I'm standing, sititng, or lying down. I have no idea what he expects, but if I'm standing and I walk toward him, he makes this stupid squeak and runs away. Maybe he expect me to play with him.
Stupid bastard jumped on me last night as I was sleeping. Now my legs feel like a pincushion.
-
It's Robert.
Oh my God, don't say that. I was reading something creepy about "Robert the Doll" yesterday. Google it, you will freak.
Bob's looking great, Chris! Handsome fella.

Cats can be nocturnal. In my new pad, I have sky lights, and she loves to comatose in the the sun!!! :yawn:

The idea behind the "Robert" is that it's the full version of "Bob." :whistling:

Maybe you have stepped on him and he is reliving the moment?
and how can you tell the difference between a stupid squeak and a smart one? :???:

Don't believe seahorse's post above. The cat is getting intel so when he finally decides to whack you he'll know the best place and method. :-)

Someone at work gave me a can of tuna. I'm going to give him a little and see how he likes it since he always bugs me for my food and then never touches it.

Why did someone at work give you a can of tuna? Can't you buy your own?

I don't know why... I guess she had an extra one. It was the girl in the mail room. She's always doing stuff like that.

Dont tell me Bob is a litle on the chunky side.. :hammer:

He was 17 pounds when he went to the vet this summer. He's grown a little since then.

'Oreo' has become 'Double Stuff.' She's chunky, to put it mildly (20-something, I think, though she's losing a bit). It just makes her tougher to stop when she comes barreling at you.

Or how about this: I have a fatty fat fatty, and if she's caught up on the table, and hollered at to get down, she gets down with a panic. Pushing off with tremendous force on whatever papers/magazines might be there, resulting in an annoying cyclone of papers and cathair. :bird: FU, Cookie.

Ha! I moved his food dish and want to see how long it takes him to find it.
At this point, he's running from the bedroom to the living room where his dish was. I don't know if he's expecting it to magically appear when he enters the room.

He is just waiting for you to go to sleep.

and then he is going to hide the refrigerator while Chris is sleeping.

He didn't even bother to go looking for it. He just sat there and cried.
Lazy ****er.

And he WILL retaliate.
Which you deserve. :hammer:

Yup. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chris_ be disappeared at some point. He has only himself to blame.

My dumbass cat likes to chew on string. String, wires, shoelaces, cords... anything hanging, he'll chew on it until it's gone. I hung up some toys and he chewed the strings off them and ignored the toys. Destructive bastard.
Anyone else's do this?

My God, he's gotten fat (it's been a while since I've been to this thread).
What are you feeding him?--a 5,000 calorie-a-day diet?

I was feeding him too much because I didn't bother to read the feeding directions on the food bag. I've started putting less and less food out in the last couple of weeks.

Monsieur Fatty is all tired out from chasing toys and playing with wrapping paper.

I've never looked at the feeding instructions, because I was always under the impression that cats self-regulate, and from my experience, apparently and obviously they do.
But I assume the works only under circumstances where cats live in a more-natural state, rather than just as a house-cat. And so probably a cat that's wholly a house-cat needs watched.

Oreo has become 'Double Stuff' because we keep her inside. But, we're in the 'burbs, so she'd be much more likely to get hit by a car if we let her go outside. Don't get me wrong--she wants to, at times.
-
I started measuring out his food. He gets a cup of food in the morning and another half-cup or a little less when I get home. It looks like he's slimmed down a bit in the last couple of weeks. He doesn't have the Big Fat Ass he was carrying around before.

Maya, the Australian shepherd mix that we recently adopted, has gained 4 lbs. in the two weeks we've had her. She was slightly emaciated when we got her - the vet said about a 3 on a scale of 1-10. We'll level her out at about 50 lbs. and monitor from there.
Belle, our golden retriever, had gotten to 99 lbs. before we reeled her in. She's down to 73 lbs. now and that's an ideal weight for her as she's a BIG female. She gets 2 cups of a low-fat food per day, plus all the veggies she can eat, so that works nicely for her.
All 3 dogs get a daily walk of usually 1.6 miles (1 mile on the treadmill when the weather's bad) and they play pretty hard in the snow, so they're burning off some of that energy too.

I believe that Chris also has a dog--late addition--and it's the dog's cage. Bob walked through the open cage door/gate and plopped down.
