Trolls may have snark, but we Caturday posters, lukers (regular or obsessive)have this:




/Don't know who made this one, but I love it.

Evil Canadian: Help! We need your help!

We just got a new kitty who joined our family on Monday. Unfortunately, we have drawn a total blank about what her name is. She is going to be B I G. She is pretty much unflappable, loving and playful, although she looks kinda stoned or emo most of the time. We have kitties named Louise and Aleeta already, but are totally stumped as to what THIS kitty should be called. So, a month of TF to whomever gives us a good (or the best) suggestion :)

By the way, that is a Dog Nylabone beside her, not a big blunt.

meer markt: I used to enjoy caturday threads. I tend to read a post before the farker's handle on these types of message boards.

And then one caturday, I read the handles of the farkers posting, for I had figured it was a number of different people.

And there are plenty of posters in a caturday thread, but there is a core of disturbingly frantic participants. Not gonna lie, today it got a little creepy and awkward as I just kept reading

Little obsessive much? We all have our vices, but dominating a fark caturday thread?

OMG SOME PEOPLE LIIIIKE THAAANGS!!

nb.t t3.wy 'nkh.ti rnp.ti dj.t nhh: I can tell you, though, that trying to medicate the two boys who spray would just cause them to get absurdly upset. You've seen that 'how to pill cats' bit?

We crush up the cat pills and mix it in with their food. Have never had a problem. Maybe you could try that? And, there are some, like prozac, that's available in liquid form. They can still smell the medication but can't pass up the fishy cat food smell. It took ours a couple of days to really get into the "new taste" but he just gulps it down now.

Sneako -

What are all their names? We have vino named felines at our house and it could be fun to have a caption contest!

catpants:
I lurk. Occasionally I post a LOL. [...] Seriously?

Yes, very late to the thread, but made this last night and thought I would share. Enjoy!

moar funny pictures

nb.t t3.wy 'nkh.ti rnp.ti dj.t nhh: My son purchased Mirazyme from MEC for me. It is normally used on camping equipment left out. I had recently purchased and 8 inch futon mattress and 10 minutes after making the bed my Monty decided he needed to welcome it to our home. 1 ounce with water and a spray bottle later the smell of urine was gone the next day. He has not done it again and that was a month ago.

Yeah, I'm thinking it (paxil) might be a good idea for the under-the-bed cat, to ease some of his anxiety. Nine times out of ten it's him getting defensive that sets the other cat off. And he's much easier to medicate; he'll even take pills, as long as I give him something special afterward. How much does it cost? Pills cheaper than liquid, or vice versa? And this is a prescription you get from your vet, that you fill at a people pharmacy, like Walgreens? I didn't know people pharmacies would do that, but Paxil is a people medicine, and the online pet drug places don't seem to carry it.

The others, though.. it just seems to be more like a bad habit, than anything they need drugs for. Maybe having the house cleaner in general will help, and when hubby moves out he'll end up taking some of the furniture and bookcases and whatnot, so perhaps it will be less like an inviting maze in which to pee (the only places they squat-pee where they're not supposed to is in the dining room, or in the study, which is his room full of junk). I'm certainly hopeful.

I still find it interesting that the two who spray, don't spray where I sit, or on things that are specifically mine. They know I'm the boss, I guess?

Hey leftteffticle

Get a copy of The Natural Cat: The Comprehensive Guide to Optimum Care

(or check your local library).

It addresses your concerns - and everything else about cat care - using a common sense and holistic approach. Good luck!

Our vet calls in a prescription to WalMart. We use the generic Paxil. It's called Paroxetine. It's pretty cheap. He gets it once a day and it costs about $10/month.

Justsaying: My son purchased Mirazyme from MEC for me. It is normally used on camping equipment left out. I had recently purchased and 8 inch futon mattress and 10 minutes after making the bed my Monty decided he needed to welcome it to our home. 1 ounce with water and a spray bottle later the smell of urine was gone the next day.

Hm. Not a bad idea for fabrics, but it requires saturation of the object you want to de-smell, and I don't think that will work on my walls. The bookcases could take it.. but not the books. The doors and the table legs would be ok.. and hubby's couch, although at this point that thing's so filthy it just needs a good solid cleaning anyway, cat pee or no cat pee. Most of the spraying is on the walls, though, so this would only be a spot solution for me. Assuming the behaviour isn't just habitual.

If I had a job, and some kind of money, I'd invest in all sorts of products, but at this point, with no job, no prospects, and hubby moving out in a month (I may end up rather homeless, and no telling *what* would happen to the cats then; if any of you know any rich people who find their pockets are too heavy..or even a dozen semi-rich people..), I'm leery of trying out things that may or may not only partially solve the problem.

Too bad feliway doesn't work for de-stressing humans. I could use some :P

kinda lame, but it is THE first thing that lept into my mind. enjoy. :-)

Hm. I just talked to my local Kroger pharmacy, and it's on their $4 plan. So, $4 for a month, or $10 for three months. I'll have to talk to my vet about this on Monday, because if it calms him down so he doesn't feel like he has to poop under the bed, and it's that cheap, and since he's easy to drug (all it costs me is thirty seconds and three treats), I may very well go for it. Thanks!

things I do to my cats...: linuxpyro: My own cats are now allowing me to post some pics of them:

and what LOVELY "fellows" the are!

signed, "has a soft spot for Russian Blues, Blacks, ... oh hell, for all of them",
-tIdtmcats...

Those are two of my current four (my brother actually has two of his own also). The black one is Zeus, and the Russian Blue is Gray. He (Gray) was actually just a scrawny stray last summer when my mom found him. Now he's our fattest cat. He's also very non-threatening; when we got Yuschi (our tabby, might post a pic later or next week), he kind of flipped out, and for a while we had to keep the two of them separated sometimes, as they'd fight and we'd find clumps of cat hair all over the upstairs hall (though you wouldn't notice any missing from either of them, of course). Gray doesn't have any problems, he's friendly toward both of them.

Poor Yoda, all the girls thought they had to play Mommy (since his mommy abandoned him).


Chester was his buddy.

things I do to my cats...

You LOL'd Haru...my whole family thanks you. My daughter (it's her kitteh) is excited that now Haru is known all over the internets.

some pics of Baby

Our 15 year old boy who passed away from cancer in 2003. One of the sweetest cats ever. He used to jump up and pretend to be a hat when my daughter was on the changing table. And he'd purr her to sleep. I still miss him.

spidermann: Yes, very late to the thread, but made this last night and thought I would share. Enjoy!



/AHHAHAHAHAH
//fang Q for posting!

Jane Doe: Could someone please caption my late great Ralph?

i will remember him with you; HTH :-) hope he had a long happy life and with you showing him here, i'm sure he did.

heavythumb: RIP Marauder, who's little body was not as strong as his spirit. I had him put to sleep last Sunday. He was my best friend. It's my first Caturday without him.

RIP Marauder
?/2000 - 7/5/09

always missed. sending big hugz... my first Caturday without Penelope was VERY hard. and filled with lots of sniffles. she was my best friend too. i know some of how you feel.

DoomsDayAardvark: Posting this for my mom and dad:
Hemingway came into our lives almost three years ago to the day.
we'll miss his company. RIP.

//something in my eye

all my guys have been strays that wandered into my life at one time or another DDA. i'm glad you had such a wonderful time with him. and the stray/rescue part of the experience makes such an interesting bond. sorry you lost your lovely fellow. *hugs*

Titanium Spork of Doom: We just had to leave our wookiee at the animal hospital with a urinary obstruction. I haz a worried. :(

hope wookiee will be well. when will you have any information? I also have some info that may help prevent that in the future if you like. EIP.

We are definitely poised to make over 500 this Caturday, btw. I am going for my Caturday nap, but I shall return.

//bbiab

Awwww, thanks, TheShavingofOccam123, that's exactly what I was looking for! :) I'm showing that to the hubby when he wakes up.

As for the trolls: *Fat raspberry!* :P

For things I do to my cats...: I'm on the Left Coast, too, and I just woke up. (Weeknds + sleeping in = awesome!) I'll be posting more pics of the boys once I've gotten a shower and something to eat, so don't worry, Caturday will go on a little bit longer.

For those of you who have lost loved ones:



It never stops hurting, but it only aches after a time. I still miss Bandit, who's been gone about three years now, but at least I can look at his pics and not cry anymore.



Anyways, I'm grody and need a bath. I return later with adorable pics for you all to "awwww" at. *Flees!*

My cat Mooch. He decided not to lurk today.

/not my capshun. I shops at Targets.

Taima: My cat Mooch. He decided not to lurk today.

/not my capshun. I shops at Targets.

His face reminded me of Jeff Dunham's puppet named Walter, and that's one of his lines. I'm happy that you enjoy it.

My 2 cents for Evil Canadian. Tonic, as in catatonic. Well, you did say she looked stoned or emo most of the time.

/runs for the door

Moved a truck load of rock today for some landscaping, (lol) and someone thought that they were getting a castle...




But it must have been too hard of work supervising, as they needed a nap..

i have a Russian blue that i am in the process of semi-adopting that i have named Gary. :-)

this is kind of an odd pic of him and he is part Tabby. from different angles, he looks different. he reminds me of some of the other Blue's here especially the one with the two in the cooler. :-) he's in the yard here enjoying his favorite, a chicken leg.

Here's Max' Caturday Contribution... Caption away if you so desire
Yes, I know, he needs to go on a diet

You LOL'd Haru...my whole family thanks you. My daughter (it's her kitteh) is excited that now Haru is known all over the internets.

pleased to be of service!

NOA UUE KNOW TO LURK LESS AND POST MOAR! ...just kidding...

Wookiecat's other owner/staff here - we just got a call from the vet a few minutes ago, thankfully we seem to have caught things in time....he's been cleared & drained without too much incident :)

If all goes well we should have him back at home Monday sometime once his bloodwork and such evens out, I can only imagine his reaction to waking up with a tube jammed in his privates :):P

Dude, this is MY cat, on my desk, in a picture taken by me 3 yeras ago and I never even posted this picture for all of LOLcatdom to claim! I really makes me wonder where Xanadian got the image to caption. I probably forgot about a secret flicker/yahoo album cache of images somewhere. But if anyone sees this picture online of Fuzzball, let me know where to find it!

sneako: i got a new furbaby this week. she's approx. 8 weeks old... her name is Yeungling (i had to keep up with the beer theme)

Here she is:

omg...my head just exploded. She's beautiful!
