Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Thu May 16, '13 9:09pm PST  It's Stella. We Grays just wanted to brag to someone and who else but our Fake Cat buds?! We caught a HUGE mouse last night and we got it out of a locked cabinet! The kitchen cabinets have child-proff locks on them but we have figured out how to get them open. The mouse comes up from the water pipes back there and lurks in the cabinet all winter. Why he is still here we do not know, as there is no food in here and it's nice outside now, But we got him and threw him in the air multiple times and tried to get the body away from out person. Aren't we just the supercats?!! Hope you are all well and getting lots of blue ribbons and gold medals in cat shows and being wild and crazy kitties. Delyte is gradually fading away and getting weaker and older, but occasionally he can fly like a gazelle. We steal his food and his favorite sleeping places with inpunity now. How the mighty have fallen .... Giant purrs to all from all of us! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Tue Feb 19, '13 10:01pm PST  It's Stella. I have had many issues with my intestines, although not this particular one. One thing to think about is that the various meds for deworming, the spaying surgery and later treatments will kill off the natural intestinal bacteria, which is what makes our poop formed and not liquid, among other things. There are some probiotics for this--obviously the one you tried was not the right one--so perhaps trying another one that is made specifically for cats? This is something that I think you can only get through a vet, although I'm not sure, could be online somewhere. Also, is there any reason you want to give her dry food? Canned cat food with all meat or cooked meat might be a better substance for her colon, at least right now. IF you think it is a food allergy, an elimination diet of simple proteins to see if one sets things off? Giant purrs to you and hope things firm up for you! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Opinions on "Allergy" Food

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Fri Feb 8, '13 9:28pm PST  It's Stella. Remember that you cannot take Pwppcid for too long, as it interferes with digestion and absorbtion of nutrients, and could end up with weak bones and definciency diseases. Merrick's B.G. certainly helped me, but every kitty is different. Purrs! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Cat Health > one of our kitties has diarrhea

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Sat Dec 22, '12 1:35pm PST  It's Stella. Did you ever find out what this was? Are the kitties still okay otherwise? With 4 of us our person never knows who did what unless she catches them in the act. You might decide not to feed them kitten food any more as it is too rich for some cats. They can also pick up intestinal bugs just from the environment just like people. The fact that they are going on the floor where you can see it means they want you to know that they are not feeling well. There are probiotics for cats that the vet might be able to give you. The kind that they sell for peoople probably isn't right for cats since people are omnivores. So are some cats, like my fellow cat Delyte, but it's not good for them. Hope they feel better and are getting everything together! Purrs! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > Waking up ALL night EVERY night

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Wed Dec 19, '12 8:52pm PST  It's Stella. Our person has never been pregnant [she was nearly 60 when she got me!] but could Serena be picking up on the changes in your body with the pregnancy, and thinking that YOU are becoming unfamiliar to her? Especially if she likes to go with you when you pee--my absolute favorite thing, my person has never gone alone since I arrived. Your body odors smell different to her? Are there any strange noises around where you live? Our neighbors like to walk their dogs around 3 AM and we all rush to the window to see them. Anyone getting up early/going to bed late? Trains or sirens? You can get different pheremone things like Feliway that are supposed to relax kitties and I bet there are others on this list who have good suggestions. Good luck to you and Serena! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Mon Dec 17, '12 7:13pm PST  It's Stella. Our person got us a climbing tower for Christmas and they put it up today. Because we live in a trailer it only has two shelves instead of three. But none of us will get up on it or even scratch it. They put some cat treats on the first shelf and I reached it off but nobody is sitting on it. Is there anything she can do to lure us up? Catnip? We are the world's most timid kitties, and none of us have really been climbers. We weren't allowed to climb the curtains, so I guess we gave it up. She said if we liked it she would get us the real thing with big shelves we can sleep on. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Opinions on "Allergy" Food

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Thu Dec 13, '12 9:33am PST  It's Stella. The "safe" allergy food is full of more things a kitty could be allergic to than regular food. I went through the same thing, and have now ended up on eating all meat canned catfood with few additives. In addition to food colorings, I am probably allergic to fish and salmon. But the main problem was all of the corn and fillers in those dry prescription diets. The less of that I eat the better I feel. I never lost any fur during my food problems, but Delyte did, even though he continued to eat. Switching to grain-free food completely rid him of his compulsion to pull out fur, and he is completely re-furred now. Remember that switching to any new cat food must be done gradually, as your gut needs time to adjust. You might ask if you could get some kitty probiotics. I am not sure that the ones they sell for humans are right for cats as we have very high acid digestive tracts normally. Good luck and hope you feel better soon! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > Licks plastic bags. why?

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Wed Nov 28, '12 8:58pm PST  It's Stella. We keep the bleach bottle in a cabinet with a lock on it, because I like to get into cabinets and knock everything around. But I am not interested in the bottle, only when it is spilled on fabric or on someone's hands. That drives me nuts! Our person had another cat with this fetish when she was a child, and since they used bleach on all the sheets and towels, the cat would try to sleep on folded laundry and roll around in that. Since this was a highly disciplined household, Mittens was not allowed to do this, or to get on beds, so it was a problem. Plus you had to remember not to pet her after you did the laundry or folded it, or you would get bitten. Otherwise she was a very sweet cat. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > Licks plastic bags. why?

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Wed Nov 28, '12 9:20am PST  It's Stella. I am a big plastic bag addict, and have been since tiny kittenhood. My favorites are the ones that are kind of crisp, not the limp ones that come from the supermarket. My male person gets me a big one from Barnes and Noble and I play with it until it is in shreds. Apparently they use a kind of sugar to make these and some other chemicals that trip the kitty trigger in the way that catnip does. I am also interested in the smell of Chlorox bleach and that makes me go crazy. There's a doctoral dissertation in there for someone who finds out what it is that we like. Giant purrs to all my bag-loving friends out there! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Stella Stella- Felinis--Queen- of All Kitties!     Purred: Sat Nov 17, '12 9:28am PST  It's Stella. Our person had a cat when she was a child who did this, but it was because she could not get access to her regular pan. The door blew shut and she couldn't get to it, and the people were gone all day to the beach. So she knocked over a plant and went in that. Made a terrible mess but was considered to show great intelligence. Stones work well, as tin foil can be peeled off, if you are not afraid of the noise of tin foil. You can also buy sticky strips to put over the dirt which we don't like to claw. I got chosen to answer this because I LOVE to get into the big plants and sleep in the dirt. There's a picture of me doing it on my page. I was an outdoor cat for the first three months of my life like you, and old habits die hard. But I am a great mouser. Hope you get some mousies this winter! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]
