Re: Hi, my name is....

[Sue Short]

I don't get mournful wails but I just get lots of retching then GAK!!!!

[fiffur]

Same here, sometimes. Other times Bij gives us a stealth hairball............

[Sue Short]

Hey, I got some outside time and you should have seen the pigeons
flee from me today. Meowmy laughed and scooped me up and told me I
was an awesome hunter. Tonio

[jeanebellini]

ya know,i think the cats got together.....i was washing all my bedding last night because early Mon morning somebody gacked all over the corner of the bed. i heard the gack as i was half asleep and THOUGHT they were doing it on the floor! but no...got up to go to the bathroom, came back and stretched my feet down into the bed and hit a big wet spot!
(I tell ya, last year in this secret santa thing i do they asked if there was anything special we needed and i asked for a set of sheets. so many times in the last 8 months i've been very thankful for those sheets;) )

[fiffur]

Sounds like you could use yet another set, and maybe a nice supply of hairball meds for the kitties. Shame they weren't like our past Fiffur, who always yakked up hairballs in the litterpan, nowhere else.

Has Antonio yakked up hairballs in an interesting place? My Miss Kitty gave me one IN my shoe once.

[Sue Short]

on me when I was napping and it was a stealth gak.

[jeanebellini]

oh gawd...i hope i never have that happen here! the closest i've gotten is on my feet.
and i have two sets of sheets.....that's why i asked secret santa for the sheets so i'd have a spare;) two is enough....one on and one in the wash.

[Sue Short]

Yeah, wonderful wake up gift.

Had to laugh a few minutes ago, I was in the laundry room washing dishes and
Tonio had wondered a little further than I like. Anyway the next thing I knew is
he came scampering back into the house. I don't know what spooked him but I'm glad
it did.

[ARNIgal]

But the worst is when their sides get all wavy before they GAK up the hairball

[fluffnstuff]

My brother's cat wails before throwing up. The other cats just start gagging before throwing up.

[gbste]

Our girl Flora gives a warning howl, but the rest are much more casual about their hairball presentation.

[jeanebellini]

i wish i got a warning...its just gack gack gack BHLACK! Cartier tends to do it from atop the tv and i have to clean off the side or the screen....esh.

[Sue Short]

Hey, y'all I think I'm information overload here.

Right now Tonio is stretched out next me He has really come into his own
the past couple of months. Now when I toss toys he will swat at them, even
jump up and grab them.

[jeanebellini]

its good to see a kitty who has become so comfortable with playing;)

[fiffur]

Makes me smile to picture in my mind Antonio playing like that. He really has come into his own.

[Sue Short]

Yes he had. In fact he has something to say right now.


Meowmy found MY STRING and then I lost it again. She's kind of cross about it, you see
I dropped it behind the couch. She says she is not moving the couch again to get it. Tonio

P.S. Tonio managed to fish HIS STRING from behind the couch. I've really got get a picture of him
with this. I've never seen a cat get so wired with a string.

[BobCat]

Hi! This is Lyra, the Pitty Pincess of BobCat's house. Even though I'm a pup and not a silly kitteh, I like to throw things under the couch too!!! Especially my ball-ball! I loves my ball-ball, and my best game ever is to throw it under the couch or the liquor cabinet, and then I YIPE and YIP until my Peeps come help me get it back out again! Hee Ha! So fun!!! Daddy gets kinda mad sometimes, but it takes about 5 or 6 times (and they have to get the umbrella to help get it back out too!) before he yells and puts my ball-ball up. But I still want to PLAY!!! One time he yelled and put my ball-ball on the kitchen table... Well, he learned in a hurry that no kitchen table is gonna stop this little agility girl! Likety split, I hopped up there - straight up from the floor - and showed him!!! Haha! I'm a jumper!

[jeanebellini]

hey, when i first got here i bought some boot shoe strings ....the ones made out of rawhide or whatever...so i could play with Mr Puff. He loved to play with my yarn and bite it with a snap like a pair of scissors. I didn't want him eating the yarn so i got the heavy shoestring he could bite and bite and not bite in half;) Mr Puff (aka Liam) wasn't a big player but he liked stringy things;)

[Sue Short]

Hi Lyra, that sounds like a lot of fun. I've never climbed on a table. What I do is clamber all
over the couch and run over Meowmy. She never yells, just gets cranky and moves the couch.
Then *****GASP*** she throws it in the middle of the living room floor and then goes back to
napping with covers the over her head. How awful is that. Tonio

[Sue Short]

You know I came in from the Great Kibble Run, make a pit stop, grab a glass of hard
cranberry cider and get ready to post. Well Antonio started to be a pest. So I
try divert his attention with SCHMICE, feathers. So I grab THE STRING. Y'all I have never
seen a cat go so wide feral crazy as he does with THAT STRING. I have got to try to take some
pictures of him with it because y'all will not believe it.

[bpaquet]

We had a kitty named Pandora who was like that. Regular toys were just regular play, but SHTRING!!! That was something very crazy.

[fiffur]

I would love to see Antonio with his string!

[jeanebellini]

maybe string is like catnip...some cats just go insane for it and some could care less:) it seems the boy cats here love strings and those thingies on a pole but the girl cats could care less!

[Sue Short]

You know I don't know what it is but he loves HIS STRING. I finally figured out where it came
from i have a laundry bag that had a string on it. The string is no longer on the laundry bag, heaven
only knows how and when it came off. Still he loves it.

It's so wonderful to see Tonio come in his own. He still bites but not like he did originally nor with the
frequency. He plays and cuddles. He used to be clingy, now he will go off and nap or play on his own.
Antonio is such a precious boy, While I still miss my other ones badly, especially Boo. Still I feel that she and
the others guided me to him.

[jeanebellini]

are his bite now more like a warning nip...not a deep bite but just a little nip? Nobe's gotten better...she doesn't gnaw when she bites now and when she strikes out with a claw its not as often as when she used to. if she strikes with a 'soft paw' i give her some praise;)

i can see the string now though...now that i know it was a draw string from a laundry bag! is it cotton? cuz maybe that feels good and tastes good to bite!
