Cat Chat (please go to cat chat 2)

[Pi.]

Yes, but kitty vomit can lead to other things.

ok thx my cat seems ok so maybe it was a hair ball stuck with food

[blazesong]

just watch your cat, cat vomit can be a now and then thing (like if it eats to fast) but can allso show signs of medical problems so look at it before you clean it just incase

I really want a Bengal in general, though I would probably go with a tan one (Im too lazy to remember what that color is called...) but snow Bengals are so majestic IMO. They remind me of a white tiger.

Anyways, I haven't posted here in who knows how long, so if any of you remember me you must have a amazing memory!
But today my kitty (Jezebel) was sitting next to me on the couch and one of the dogs had left a bone up there. All of the sudden Jezzy decided she wanted to be like the dogs and started chewing on the bone!

Reintroducing her, she is a tuxedo color that I got sometime last year. She was 3-4 months old when she came to live with me and never grew much bigger. She is pretty small compared to every other full grown cat I have met but she has twice as much personality. My Jez is extremely attached to me and will even act like a dog sometimes. I love her to little pieces.


Taken this morning^


Taken a LONG time ago, but she's demon looking^.^


Taken a long time ago, just showing you her full body looks(:

Now my other boy is a very fat cat named Ivan The Terrible (Ivan) we got him like 3 days before Jez and he came from a shelter. I often call him FatCat or Fatty, purely out of affection for the fat lug. He doesn't much like cuddling with people but he will tolerate just about anything if he's in a good mood. My parents don't like him much because he doesnt snuggle and he often gives 'love bites' when you are least expecting it. He's my FatMan though and I love him even with his habits.


Not long after we got him, he is much fatter now^^


Taken not long after we got him, that's his typical 'keep loving on me peasant or I will get you' look.^


Right before this pic was taken, Fatty had knocked Jez off the top perch and she jumped back on to hit him in return. He then reached over and bit her on the ear before she gave him the reproachful look and jumped down after hitting him again.

K thx for the advice

Lonin's cousin has a Bengal. c: She's adorable.
Lonin wants a big fluffy Persian or something. <3 We used to have one when we were very little called Oscar. :B He went to live with our grandma. Lonin was allergic to him, and too young for a kitty.

My 3 cats recently got moved into our new (rental) house. I get nervous though sometimes because my baby had a habit back home to spray around the house. So I have a panic everytime me, my mum and sister go to the house to feed them until we get our furniture. It's summer here at the moment (sounds wierd, right?) so my mum lets them roam the house instead of being shut up in the garage. Although, when they had to be tested before they could get on an aeroplane, they must have potty trained him because now he uses the litter tray ^.^

Sorry to burst your bubble but spraying and being/not being litter trained are two totally different things. Spraying is when a cat is marking their territory and can be caused by the presence of unfamiliar cats (not just inside the house, but outside as well even if they're not in contact with them), a move to a new house, or a change in their environment. Usually, a male will spray with his back to an object and spraying the urine onto the object. He's not peeing in the sense that he's just doing it just because he's got a full bladder. Normal peeing because he needs to is squatting and eliminating that way.

If you have a cat that is spraying because he's insecure, no amount of litter box training is going to help that. Because, again, he's not doing it because he has a full bladder. I, in particular, struggle with a cat who's fully litter trained and has been since before we even got him as a kitten but he's a very insecure cat and sprays whenever he feels upset or insecure about something. Just bringing in groceries in bags that smell weird has set him off before. Again, totally litter trained and he's even neutered. Don't have a problem with getting him to use his box (so long as it's clean) or even go potty outside in the warmer months. But he will spray because of, what seems to me, insignificant changes.

If your cat starts spraying again, things you can do: clean any spots he sprays in with an enzymatic cleaner, use a black light to check for spots you don't know about, use special aroma therapy that calms cats down, deter any cats you see outside (humanely, don't be hurting them xp), and/or try to remove anything that seems to be setting him off (if you can). If he's not neutered, he should be anyway.

Thanks that actually helps a ton ^.^ The only thing right now that seems to make him nervous is maybe the new house and my 8 year-old cousin (and i'm sure a lot of people know how energetic your typical 8 year-old can be
-_-). Luckily he hasn't sprayed yet and we always try not to make him nervous anyway because he is quite a nervous cat. :)

Aww, they're so cute! ^^
Haha, I have a really fat cat, too...
He's kinda 21 lbs. o.o
His belly almost touches the floor.
He's also really lumpy. xD

[.Middy.]

Haha thank you!

Ivan really isn't that fat, but compared to Jez he is huge! Lol!

Fatty had the brilliant idea of biting me on the nose when I tried to turn on the water for him. He refuses to drink out of a bowl and only drinks out of the faucet now.


Im not sure what Jez was doing to him, but im pretty sure she was biting his ear...
Sorry for crappy picture quality, my phone has no where as near good quality as my camera.
