I want to foster cats, rescue them... just all of that.

I'll need a large house for all of them....

yea that would be nice ^-^ even if we had a huge house to keep them our cat frank (the one with the bad ear and the oldest one to be here) he thinks he is the king and doesn't like other adult cats :[ hes a butt mostly >.< at our old house we jsut moved from there was a solid white stray who always had kittens with the neighbors black cat so we had one cat from her litter named TJ and 2 from her more recent litter Austin <3 and Stanlely. My old friend also got a kitten from TJ's litter named Carly but umm she had a litter with her dad and the kitten they kept was all white with 1 black spot on his head they named him toupee (to-pay) but one day they just went missing. Both of them. when we moved we had to get rid of both Stanley and tj along with Murphy and Conrad. Murphy we saw at petco and adopted him and Conrad was from my old friends aunt and she said they were going to put him to sleep if no one took him. So we got them. Austin WOULD have went but he's MINE MINE MINE MINE! hehe. Hes a trouble maker but i know my mom loves him just a little deeeeep down ^-^

Hey guys, here's my club I just made. I haven't been on here much, this chat, but I hope to have a little comeback and chat with you guys more XD

[The Lost soul]

Wow, that's a lot to take in!

and I don't do sports with my animals. I prefer to watch them naturally. No special tricks or anything. Messes with things I prefer to leave alone.

WELL, our neighbourhood is boring, and its mainly freezing year around in Seattle, so I exercise him with obedience && tricks. Trust me, I hate when people discipline their dogs with whips

[The Lost soul]

Whips? what in blue blazes are those people doing?

I am not against training tricks, and there is nothing wrong with it(I just prefer to see natural stuff then tricks. It's a personal thing, not an actual view on things).

Though... whipping your dog? That is just too far. Where did they learn that? The circus?!
Ugh, there are so many things wrong with whipping ANY animal. The pain they cause is not the same as a spank or a tap on the nose, and it could actually cause issues with the animal, and a sudden reaction.


whips...man....ugh. What idiot came up with that idea?

My cat had a fur ball yesterday, I nearly stepped in it, though he is 3 years old and has only had 2 hair balls, is that normal?
He is a ragdoll cat btw.

You can try getting special foot to avoid hair balls, but in the end, hair balls are natural. Cats groom, and the hair agitates the stomach then poof, hairball. It shows your cat is a good and detailed groomer. Hairballs=good grooming cat

It's normal for longhairs to have hairballs.

He's 3 years, and only 2 hairballs. Seems pretty normal by what my knowledge knows.

I read up that hairballs are okay every few months, but once they get down to more then once a month, you should start to worry and move to a different diet to try and see if you can stop the hairballs from getting too often.

My kitten had a hairball once, I think. She's 1 year old, a mix of a Siberian and other things(deduced from physical aspects, no confirmation). I flea comb her every now and then when I get the time, and have a brush for her(though it's useless. She's pretty self-sufficient)

If he starts to have frequent hairballs, like twice or more a month, then I'd worry, but even at once a month, I myself would get annoyed and buy different food to combat the hairballs. Hairballs are not nice, but they are natural and are not something to worry about when once or twice a year.



Here's a site on some small info; http://pets.webmd.com/cats/guide/what-t ... ls-in-cats

My ragdoll cat doesnt go outside and is allergic to fish he only eats meat, plus he eats Royal Canin which is great for hairballs. Also he is allergic to flea medicine and other things, like rabese and general vaccinations, he is as I said only a indoor cat, should I be worried at his protection against rabese and general health? He is VERY healthy and has not gotten sick by anything. Should I be worried?

Edit: oh also it is winter where I am and my cat is shedding, more than usual, I do brush him, what does this mean if a cats fur starts to molt when its still winter and wont be summer for serveral months.

[Keriae]

He will not get rabies if rabies is not present in your country ^.^
I can't say much about solely indoor cats and their general health: my own is an outdoor cat xD As long as you're looking after him correctly, I don't think he'll get ill, but don't take my word for it xD
