bounce and jump045 Guess I must be lucky. My two sit nice and quiet when I clip their claws. I do wrap them in a towel when I have to get something down their throat, usually works good :) |

I use the towel for medicine also agate. It is easy to do their claws. They are good about that for some reason. Wiping that big girl's bum is a bit of a problem, I suppose I could try the towel trick for that. Will try tomorrow after she does her business. |

Just a little heads up for those who think I got this cat FAT. This cat got fat as she spent her life in a cage for breeding, giving birth to litter after litter after litter after litter. She is now an older cat and is retired. I saved her from being put down. I felt I could give her a nice happy retirement for what time she might have left. She was a vicious cat who had to be kept caged at all times. With no exercise, cats get fat. My other cat was also for breading but she was given run of the house and is therefore thin. Neither cat even knew how to play. They were not allowed that luxury. I know the dangers a fat cat faces. (and fat people laugh123 ) Thanks for all your input 1mr |

Interesting article, Fuzzy. It seems it takes as much willpower to limit our pets' food as it does for our own. Back when cats had to CATCH their own food, I guess the exercise kept them slim and trim. Now they need only to stroll to their always full food bowl. I have a hunch their food is made more delectable than it needs to be. If I had cans of pate' opened day and night for me I soon wouldn't be able to jump into my bed either. Cats do not LOVE kibble, they eat it because they are hungry not because it tastes like something from the hands of a French chef. Cats need meals that look more like Durgan's than Jacque Pepin's. |

Trotsky, sometimes autocheck changes the name to that. His name is short for Ozy With Mittens. Ozy was one of my sister's cats. His name was Ozymandius. My youngest thought Mozzy looked, "just like Ozy, but with mittens." |

Thanks blizzard. Coincidentally, OZYMANDIUS is one of my favorite poems. Every world leader should read the poem every morning before breakfast. |

I love poetry I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things, The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains: round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away. |

They were galloping across the prairie, They were galloping hard and fast, For the eyes of those desperate settlers Had sighted their man at last Does anyone know that poem. I lover her poems |

Sorry for the spelling error of Ozymandias, for some reason my autocorrect keeps using 'u' rather than 'a'. |

Mouse, Somewhere in the past, I cannot re-find the post, I said your cat is a Burmese. Bob found a beautiful cocktail table type book called THE CAT, lovely book. Flipping through the pages I realized I misspoke. Your cat is a BIRMAN, with one proviso...she must have white socks. Posted Image Edited by Trotsky, Feb 26 2016, 11:45 AM.
