The Cat Thread

It's Ms Hammer's choice, I'm still not convinced!

great :) do they fight for the top spot?

It's more that they fight on every level! I have a feeling it may have been laced with catnip by the manufacturer - there was also a mouse toy hanging from the top level which lasted <5mins.
Neither of them can be bothered to jump up it, they just climb with their claws out. Quite funny watching the younger one dealing with an unexpectedly large overhang when he gets to the platforms

That tower is great, bet the cats love it - and that wallpaper is seriously groovy, baby!

Our Suzy (now 8 months), neutered yesterday morning. She doesn't appear to be all that impressed post surgery, adventurous and wild as soon as she could walk straight again.

Vet did a wonderful job stitching the wound on the inside, very small scar with only one little knot on the outside. I wonder if she'll quiet down a bit over time, thanks to the new hormonal balance ;-)

This is Hendricks:

We've had him for about two weeks now and he's beginning to settle in. He's much more lively than Tonic (probably 3-4 weeks younger).

They've begun playing together this week which is great.

We'll continue to feed them together for the next week before putting them together more permanently.

^awwwwww so cute.

Anyone got tips on getting a cat in to a carry carrier, cant get near him tried the food tempting but fucked up the door closing so he bolted out - now he is super weary of the cage :(

any other tips ??

Put the cage facing the ceiling.

Pick the cat up and put them in arse first.

Easy.

ive got to catch him first, but if i do ill try this technique !

or buy a carrier that opens on the top, I might have to do this before the next vet visit...

use the vulcan death grip on the back of the cats neck
the way their mothers carry them which pacifies them
they go almost catatonic ( excuse the pun )

A pitstop in between playing:

use the vulcan death grip on the back of the cats neck
the way their mothers carry them which pacifies them

This works especially well when you use your teeth to carry them!

Adult cats should be supported elsewhere too I think, they can be a bit heavy just for the scruff of the neck.

i'll be doing this

The trick is to hold them from underneath with one hand, and hold their front paws together with the other hand.

Point the box towards the celling and put them in in head first. This works with mine who used to fight like a lion to stop getting in, the Vet showed me how to hold her and it really works.

We have a top loading one, we tend to leave it out a few days before we need to use it so the cats get used to it. That trick hasn't failed yet.

These three little pudding shaped kittens are feral - born in the garage behind them, to a feral mother:
