Eric (our 'youngest') has a foot fetish, but only sometimes! He will,
having ignored you for weeks, suddenly decide that your foot is about
to attack you and, leaping to your defence, will pounce on it and try
to claw/bite it to death! This would be a real problem if it weren't
so funny to watch.

The wounds (often quite horrendous looking) are never painful for
very long, and at least it better than being ignored all of the time.

Penny is an excellent fetcher as long as it's balls of almuminum foil.
It is a sure fire way to keep her occupied when she is vocally demanding
attention. She even fetched for a friend so it isn't even us who have
to throw it. I often wake up with a foil ball next to my pillow,
left as in invitation to get the game going. She's awfully cute when
you throw the ball the length of the hall and she races after it and
then gallops back with it in her mouth.

My kitten did the same thing to me. I was going to a halloween
party dressed as a cat as well. I was in the bathroom putting on
my makeup, and cat ears. When I came out of the bathroom, Freddie
was lying on the bed, so I decided to see what he thought of his
mother trying to look like a cat. The thing about Fred is that he
is not a very personable kitten, he tends to ignore people unless
they want to fight. I went into the bedroom and started meowing at
him, and the look on his face was the funniest I have ever seen. 
He didn't know what to think about this whole thing. After that,
he followed me around the apartment with this very confused look
on his face until we left for the party. Joe, my older cat, who
is usually very cuddly didn't even seem to notice anything 
different.

   9-Lives has also reduced the size of their cat food cans, and in a
similarly sleazy way.  The can announces "More meat per ounce!" in big 
letters.  Have they added more meat?  They have not.   Instead they've
gone to a 5.5 oz. can.  A careful reading of the table of contents 
indicates that the average minimum protein per can is now 8% (it 
used to be 9 or 10%) and the maximum moisture is now 80 something
percent.    Some of the other cat food companies immediately 
responded by plastering their cans with "Still 6 oz!".  But I bet
that won't last...

In my experience, there is no short-term difference in personality after
spaying.  However, cats that are spayed young tend to retain their kitten-
like playfulness into adulthood.  Unspayed adult cats that I have known 
have all seemed 'old' - little/no playing, sleeping all of the time, etc.

I have to agree with Ginny,  about 2 months ago I adopted a cat that 
followed my room mate home.  With one cat in the house, the new one 
made integration out of the question ( Can you say the Tabby 
terrorist ? ).  Not to worry, while I went on vacation a neighbor baby 
sat her at her place/foster parent.  When I got back the good news was 
the adoption papers went through and the cat had been spayed.  She is 
still the terrorist that she was and has officially taken title of my 
neighbor's home.  You do nothing without her approval and she is still 
a handful.

We just borrowed one of those Casio mini-keyboards from a friend (trying to

Subject: Cat food/boarding questions


When I adopted Gracie in August she had just recovered from a urinary
tract infection (brought on, they think, by stress because she had been
returned twice in 4 months to the adoption place and was there for 3
months before I discovered her and took her).

Anyway, the people there told me to make sure I buy cat food with a
low ash content because this will help to prevent the infection from
recurring.  However, when I took Gracie to the vet in September,she
said that ash content has nothing to do with it and I should buy
food that has no magnesium in it.

I took the vet's word and found a Purina line that Gracie likes and it
doesn't have magnesium listed on the package.  But is magnesium found
in other things that might be in the food?  And does anyone know the
REAL story about magnesium vs ash?  I rarely give Gracie people food --
usually just turkey, beef and spaghetti (with no sauce) -- and an occasional
few licks of Heavenly Hash ice cream from my finger.

Also, I'm going to board Gracie soon for a week when I go away.  She has
a rather gentle constitution and I'm so concerned that she's going to feel
like she's been dumped yet again.  If stress really can cause urinary
tract infections in cats she could develop it again. Does anyone know if
stress really does this?  Also, I have this fear that she's going to get
ill or even die because she's going to be so sad.  (Perhaps I'm being
vain here thinking she'll miss me so much -- she might have the time of
her life!).

How do other folks deal with boarding their cats?  I'd rather do this than
have a friend come to my house once a day for 10 minutes of feeding and
playing; at least at the Pet Resort she'll get more attention even though
she'll be in a cage (and I'm permitted to take along personal effects,
such as toys and her favorite blanket -- which used to be MINE. :)  I
want to enjoy my trip (because I really need it!!) but I know she'll be
on my mind during all my waking hours.

Check your hardware store:  there are `locks' designed for sliding windows
that should work quite well.  Basically, it's a piece of aluminum metal,
bent to fit over the edge of the window/door runner, with a thumbscrew to
hold it in place.  Easy to put on & remove.

Alternatively, a piece of board/dowel cut to fit in the track would stop
it from opening.

As my cat Muggsy has moved thousands of miles with me (from coast to coast in
Canada), perhaps I can offer some advice!

First, I think it's a good idea to send him to your parents' during the
actual move. I know Muggsy was very stressed out during our last move (we
couldn't leave him at my parents' as they were out of the province at the
time). You can't explain to a cat what you are doing and why. They just know
Things Are Not As They Should Be and get upset accordingly. When you welcome
Slash to your new abode, he may hide somewhere for a while (even a few days),
like a closet or under the toilet (Muggsy did this after one move). Somewhere
where he can feel secure. But he will come out eventually, do the belly crawl
around the place, sniff everything 100 times, want to inspect every closet,
etc., at least that is Muggsy's experience.

Try to have everything out of boxes, and everything where you want it before
Slash arrives, so that he can quickly get used to the place. He'll find some
favourite spots before long and settle right in!

Good luck and keep us posted!

I just read a book that quotes some studies that show that, if a kitten
is raised for the first 7 weeks or so in the company of an animal that
is normally preyed upon, say a mouse, it will not recognize that type
of animal as prey even if it grows up to later prey on other types of
animals.  Some kind of imprinting is involved, I guess.

I just had Salvador neutered the other day; he too had to wait until the
next morning (and believe me, did he pig out!). 

The reason I was given is that a side-effect of the anaesthetic is nausea,
and if he eats anything he will likely vomit. This happened with my first
cat, Cairo, because I gave in and let him have a tiny bit of food (about a
tablespoon of wet food). I was cleaning it up afterwards. I was allowed to
give them water.

Of course, both my cats were pretty stoned when they came home. The effects
didn't wear off until overnight. They ended up sleeping in my lap most of
the evening.
