peachy92: meer markt: Little obsessive much? We all have our vices, but dominating a fark caturday thread?

Get over yourself. Caturday is a nice way to relax. There is so much shiat going on in the world right now. If these farkers enjoy posting cat photos and caption them, what business of it of yours? Plus, there are many people on Fark that do not post in these threads but enjoy viewing them. (By the way, lurkers, come on out, we don't bite and enjoy any cat photo that isn't sick or violent!)

I can only agree that there are a few dedicated farkers who post LOLcats, and as a long term lurker all I can say is:

Thank You to you wonderful people.

Being from Oz I'm always late for this, but a great way to spend Sunday morning.

AND if someone hadn't posted about Siberians and that they are hypo-allergenic last October, I wouldn't now have my two cats Sabina and Vasya.

But yes must get my act together and post them - just need to find the best place to store the photos - any suggestions?

So thanks to the posters - you are why most of us stay here each week.

posted a while ago, but I still can't look at that pic without this popping into my small mind:

This was Lucy's reaction when we got Juno. She doesn't even know how to express her displeasure at getting another kitten.

how do i contact sister hand grenade? my girlfriend has a cat rescue, and the website looks ok and all.. but the picture that sister hand grenade took of the three kittens with the three phones on page two of this thread would make the page look so much better

Look in her profile for her email addy.

i did. i used that email address, @ultrafark.com - yahoo said it's a bad address.

Yeah, Fark has a security thing going on with both regular and ultrafark emails for our protection. Write it down and type in in manually, you can not copy and paste it.

Juno, the gray kitten is no longer a kitten and trying to usurp Lucy as top cat. Not going over well with Lucy who is still twice her size, but not nearly as fast.

The proprietress of the site, Laurie, took all those pics. You'll be able to contact her easily from the IBKC site, which is also a rescue site. Hope this helps!

Yep. Shiny. Lotsa reflections and pretty sparkly things to watch. I bet they love it when/if sunlight reflects in there. Sounds like a fountain is in order, when you can swing it.

And am I a bad person? I keep seeing your username and wanting to reply "gesundheit" or something. :P

That's a perfectly normal reaction. No need to see a doctor, you're just fine :)

also, for everyone, i let a drip go into bowls in faucets around teh houze. especially teh tubz. Penelope always loved that and LittleOne has started to really do so as well. he comes out of teh baffroom wiff water "spray" (tiny droplets) around his whiskers and he seems to feel like he's all primal or something.

Hmmm, that IS a thought. I dunno if they get much in they way of shinies and sparklies in their bowl, but they DO love sitting in the window (especially when I open it for the breeze), and they adore crinkly, noisy toys and shiny objects. It's like we got another pair of larger ferrets or something. :D

That's a perfectly normal reaction. No need to see a doctor, you're just fine :)

Oops, Costco closes in an hour, so better hurry if I wanna get stuff for dinner tonight! Back later, and I'll see if I can find more fun pics that I haven't posted yet.

No, leave the hyphens in, you just have to type it in manually. The fark security program somehow reverses the address to prevent
spamming. I can't post someone else's addy here, that is frowned upon. If you still have problems, email me at my user name @gmail.com and I'll put you in touch.

here's Vondee about a week before she jumped out the window... QQ

leftteffticle: caturday, i need some advice.

regulars here may remember i have been posting a personal ad of sorts for my friends kitty to try and find her a new home. as he has already left for the east coast, she is staying alone in his apartment and i am cat sitting her. also, the duties of finding something to do with her have fallen to me. she's an 11 year old cat, which is the first strike against her. shes in good health, but hasnt had a full check-up with urine and blood tests in...well, years. and she has litter box issues. she "spite-pees" when shes mad. and just a few days ago i caught her spraying (she's spayed). and then i discovered several wet spots on the carpet yesterday, which i had never seen before but the apartment smells so ungodly bad it's really hard to tell if its old or new smells. i knew she had issues with peeing on his girlfriends stuff (hence why the cat is being abandoned) but didnt realize until very recently that it seems to be worse than that.

ive asked around friends, strangers, here, craigslist...found nothing. the 3 cat rescues that contacted me back told me they would not take her because she cannot be rehomed. i have hopes that another local cat rescue may take her, but i have not been able to get ahold of anyone through it. if i take her to the humane society, she'll be put down.

what should i do? it makes me ill to think about having to put this sweet kitty down because her person didnt want her anymore and she's older and a little difficult. i only have until august 14th to figure this out. thoughts, advice, anyone?

First, don't give up yet. Every cat deserves a chance.
Second, Take her to a vet as soon as possible. Most inappropriate urination problems are a result of a urinary tract infection.
Last, Look for cat food that is marked "For Urinary Tract Heath". For example: Friskies has a Special Diet food that I would recommend.

My sweet 16 year old kitty had problems about 8 years ago. She was peeing in the worst places...Couches...rugs. The vet kept her overnight and gave her a strong antibiotic. After that Urinary tract health food only. No problems since. Have patience and practice consistency. Hang in there and good luck.

Just to set the record straight....this is Offacue's Wife.

Stuff about kitty tranquilizers and feel-better pills...

My vet uses a lot of homeopathic and naturopathic remedies to help with behavioral issues...the most all-around useful being Rescue Remedy.
Bach Flower Remedies can be fine-tuned for dealing with specific behaviors and troubles.
They don't knock kitty out, or make them drowsy, or loopy, or give them G.I. issues or anything like that. They just help any furkid be more at ease and happier with their world and environment.
I've used them for grief issues when my Riktor turned into Catzilla after the Boss (alpha cat, and his beloved mentor) Misha was killed...it stopped the aggressive, hostile behavior within two days and my Purry Boy Riktor was back.
I've since used them for him for other things since he is the least adaptable cat in the clowder and has the greatest difficulty with changes of any kind.

They don't have the side effects of some of the bigger guns (Paxil, Prozac, etc...) and can be administered via their drinking H₂O.

Rescue Remedy definitely has it's place. It did a wonderful job helping our Border Collie deal with thunderstorms. However, it did nothing to help with the elimination problem. Neither did Feliway, lavender, marjoram, or anything else we tried. The only thing that has helped has been the Paxil.

We tried several other medicines that didn't help him. He is on a small dose of Paxil once a day and it doesn't leave him sleepy, or doped up. The only thing it has done, is make him calmer and helped him find his chi by taking the edge off his attitude and his "freak outtedness" & he is not spraying anymore. We are believers of Eastern/holistic remedies but sometimes you need good old fashioned medicine to solve a problem.

how many times I gotta tell ya, photobucket pro. Yeah, not perfect by any means, but better than imageshack (IMHO)

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.

Call her Two-Face.

here's Pabst, being proud of the hole she clawed into my wall... little jerk. but i love her..

Hey, whatever works....
and sometimes you gotta bring out the big guns.
I just feel they belong way down on the list rather than as automatically a 1st option...
apparently you feel the same, going by your post.

Case in point: couple weeks ago my white ninja Wimsey had a subluxated (partially dislocated) elbow. One vet said "Surgery" right off the bat.
I'm thinking "I can haz 2nd opinion plz?" and not just because of the cost...

Found a WONDERFUL vet who does osteopathic and chiropractic medicine...a couple adjustments, some acupuncture (Wimsey was a very cooperative boy!) and after two weeks house arrest (as opposed to six weeks in a crate which would have been necessary following surgery) and Wimsey's as good as new.

My cat keeps sneezing on me; next time, I'm taking a proper picture of the boogers he leaves on the wall.

//Seriously, it's spectacular

sneako: here's Vondee about a week before she jumped out the window... QQ

had to go back and see what that was all about.

very sad for you and her. hope she finds her way home. i'd give you tips on looking, but you prolly have tried all the obvious ones that i'd suggest. but you never know. EIP if you think i might be able to help.

PachelbelsCannon: Heh, you should be flattered that our second cat is named 413374 (our 17 yo gamer son helped with that name).

Ha! Took me a moment, then I lol'd. :)


ninderry: But yes must get my act together and post them - just need to find the best place to store the photos - any suggestions?

I've been using Photobucket for a while, and other than its constant attempts to get you to click on ads and visit its various sponsors (LOLAdblock FTW), it's pretty solid and looks like it lets you store unlimited pictures. It also helps you with linking pics, too, for HTML n00bs who just wanna show off their kitties and don't wanna learn to code to do it!


things I do to my cats...: That's a perfectly normal reaction. No need to see a doctor, you're just fine :)

Right now he has left those pants alone and is dozing in his favorite chair. We finally made a major improvement on the mess in here (went from a 2bed 2story townhouse to a 1bed apartment), and cleared out enough room to use the table and chairs. Sassy has claimed one of those chairs.
