I've previously posted my disappointment with Ruby not engaging a rat that came indoors. Now I know, she's a closet... TREE HUGGER !

A cat in Quorn SA - really didn't want to be disturbed but finally put the head up as if to say would you all be quiet

Can vouch for Catbib
Since using Catbib, cat has not brought in feathered suprises...

 

[Drakecula]

I will Google what Catbib is, but at first glance my thought immediately goes to the words catalogue and bibliographic. It's something that wouldn't be so out of place in the library world... Afterall, there is a thing called WorldCat.

Oh that's neat. Clever idea.

According to a well informed source, larger birds are notable threat to smaller birds:

OK this is not cat related but dog so I hope I'll be forgiven because I couldn't find a similar dog thread - I just love it

welcome to our world….

Back in June the bathroom cat's brother (see post 2294) had a similar procedure.

Why remove the teeth?

 

[Spongbob]

The problem is inflammation of the gum (or something like that).

And the cat is in pain.

Let's be honest. They've never been black.

I never knew cats got dental disease. She's 12yo and apparently we should have gotten her teeth checked years ago! She had zero signs.

The vet really should have checked during vaccination visits.

The vet really should have checked during vaccination visits.

That one is on us. She's a 100% indoor cat so didn't get annual vaccinations. Our old vet suggested as such but on retrospect he was a little outdated in his practice.

She is super anxious so we avoid stressing her out by taking her in the car to the vet - I've now seen the error of our ways. Gotta be short term cruel for long term kind!

Our regular cat food delivery (of hills science indoor cat) is taking more than 2 weeks (gold coast to Sydney); so bought supermarket Optimum "furball" and hey, after a week one of the cats brought up a furball. Maybe it works?

Not improbable at all it seems.

Answering the question that won me the Ig Nobel prize: Are cats liquid?

Ig Nobels reward research that first makes you laugh and then makes you think. Investigating the internet meme of fluid felines fits the bill – and adds to the physics field of rheology.

“But they must be a non-Newtonian liquid because cats don't pour freely back out, unless they want to. Otherwise they can become very solid, and angry. Martha Foley and Curt Stager discuss cats, solids, liquids and colloids.”

Had a bath the other night for the first time in this house (sooo... about 6 years) - Flick was very confused.



(note: bathwater is not dirty, just bits of lavender from the bath salts I used)
