Aww its so nice you are giving her a loving home. Yes its truely unbelieveable how some people treat animals, I find it hard to control my temper & Im a pacifist!! 11. септември 2007, 14:23:31 Относно: Re: Ewe: Right, not all my short hairs have full balls. I think it attributes to how clean some are. We try to brush each one but with this many its very hard and some just do not like to be brushed. Some are super clean and always licking others only clean themselves when they have to. We nick named one kitty Pigpen cuz she doesnt clean herself too often! Must be in her teen years! The cats that are super duper clean have the odd fur ball but it isnt daily or even weekly. The long hair kitty has them at least once a week. I have a Maine Coon cat with really long hair and she never has fur balls so her digestion must be top notch. AND does she shed! When I brush her I take clumps out every time. She has very different fur than the others. You're right about the cruel people. I'm sure if I ever got my hands on someone that abused an animal I would go medievil on them. lol 11. септември 2007, 14:40:45 Относно: Re: Rose: Maybe thats it then??? My cats love to be brushed! So maybe Im collecting most of the excess fur? They are outdoors alot too. I think central heating makes them molt more than necessary too. LOL medievil  I can see your angry face under that suit of armour!! I agree, I would find it hard to control myself too  11. септември 2007, 14:49:46 Относно: Re: Ewe: thats why I like my doggies...no fur balls.  11. септември 2007, 20:47:25 Относно: Re: anastasia: Gosh can you imagine if dogs coughed up hair balls too!!  11. септември 2007, 18:01:37 Относно: Cat Brushing Tip  Ewe: At least this works for me: one of the  doesn't much like being brushed--especially near her backside. But if I brush her just before one of the designated feeding times, I can pretty much do whatever needs to be done--brushing, nail-clipping, etc.--because she's got just one thing on her mind--food! She's so focused that she seems to forget just how much she dislikes what's being done to her :-)11. септември 2007, 18:17:55 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip wetware: Fantastic idea. I have a hard time clipping the nails on 2 of mine..( they cry and pull back their paws just when I try to clip lol) So I will try it b4 feeding time! Woohoo... very wise. 11. септември 2007, 20:42:32 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip wetware: hehehe yes that works for my two small children also! I dont clip my cats nails...just wondering why you do that? Is it because they are scratching your furniture? 11. септември 2007, 20:54:20 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip Ewe: I clip my cats so they dont scratch each others eyes out bascially.. I have them pretty much trained not to scratch the furniture and they have many scratching posts around the house that hubby made for them. But every so often one wants to dominate and will start swinging at another. This way I know there wont be major damage to any other cat. most get used to the clipping in time and just sit and patiently wait until I am done. Only the front paws and I dont clip their dew claws. It just takes the really sharp pointy part off. You have to be careful when you clip. I have a vet teach me how so I dont clip too short. That would really hurt! 11. септември 2007, 21:13:40 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip Rose: Ahhh right I see! My two never used to fight with each other. Now I only have the one. Yes they can do alot of damage with those claws if they are fighting & with you having so many rescues I bet there is a few fights from time to time. I think I would do the same as you in that case. Yes the claws have a vein running in them, same with dogs....one time when I took my dog to the doggie parlour for a spruce up, fur & claw trim, they cut one claw too short & it wouldnt stop bleeding! Can be dangerous! 11. септември 2007, 21:15:54 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip Ewe: I would definitely clip one of the But lately, there's been less need for trimming, because of a happy accident. They finally stopped shredding my nice furniture almost completely once I brought home a rug bought on sale from Ikea. This certainly wasn't my plan, but all three of them love sinking their claws into it--especially the underside of it for some reason. It gets 99% of their scratching attention, and I will happily sacrifice another rug just like it next time I find them on sale. Isn't that the craziest thing? I keep it rolled up, with the underside out--and they're absolutely loving it to pieces... 11. септември 2007, 21:32:39 Относно: Re: Cat Brushing Tip wetware: Oh dear! In that case I can certainly see why you trim their claws! How did the vet take getting the scratch? LOL thats brilliant!!I can just imagine them, it conjured up a great mental picture  I love Ikea! They have some lovely rugs, but I bet they didnt realise their rugs double up as posh scratching posts! |
