ANyone have a cat that chewed on things??? I've had cats before, but never one that chewed on things. I figured he's teething. He's ched on our blinds, magazines, paper and wants to eat dog food! I think he confused. He's a 7 mo. old Ragdoll and too cute.
Yes, we have one. We think she was taken too early from her mother. She seemed to be almost nursing.

Our baby kitties that were born on St. Patrick's Day are still nursing! I've never heard of animals nursing that long.

Tut's latest thing is that he has decided he likes to sit on my mouse pad. Sometimes even while I'm using it. So in the wee hours of this morning, I hear him knocking the wireless mouse off onto the floor so he can have the mouse pad all to himself. Now I'm going to have to put the mouse pad and the mouse where he can't get to them because I have to recalibrate the mouse every time he knocks it off, and he gets cat hair all over the mouse pad. I can't decide whether this is a particular brand of Siamese weirdness or just general kitty weirdness.

Lucy likes to lay on my mouse pad too, and she'll put her paw on my hand or arm if she thinks I'm moving around too much. I have to wipe the fur off of the bottom of the mouse once in a while or it won't work right. She hasn't done it lately since everyone is home from school now.

Currently own 2 cats (will be adding a 3rd one next spring). I'm into showing pedigree and mixed breed cats; all my cats have been in shows at one time or another - many earning Grand Championship.
NONE of my cats has ever been microchipped - they are all indoor cats and do not go outside (other then to shows). I understand the concept, but I'm against microchipping for Biblical reasons.
Part of end times involves "the mark" - I believe the mark has a connection to microchipping. If you cannot buy/sell without it, that makes sense that eventually people will also be microchipped! First they start with a simple thing of acceptance for pets, then slowly pass it on to people. I've heard they are considering microchipping elderly or patients with Alzhimers to help "track" them....beware.

Kath, is that your Lucy in your profile pic? Looks like she's being downright considerate compared to my Tut -- he starts out at the edge of the mousepad but keeps scooting over and curling around until I have no room on the pad to move my mouse! And right now he's in my lap and is scratching his chin with my knuckles as I type.

I know that it's not really hot here right now, but it's hotter than it was 6 months ago.... but it's now that Munchie has decided that she needs to come sleep next to me. She's snoozing on my bed as I type. I know that as soon as I head for bed, she will jump down, wait until I'm settled and then jump back and curl up beside me...
But she looks so sweet when she curls up and looks at me with those big eyes of hers...

How do you mellow out a kitten or at least get them to trust people?
I'm talking about our almost 4 month old kittens that were treated rather roughly by a child. For about the last month or so, they have ran every time they've seen a human, unless the human has food for them.

You give them time and space. Munchie was nearly a year when I got her and she hid for quite some time before she started appearing. I let her be. Her food, water and litter box were all near her to begin but I started to move the food more into the open. I used fresh chicken stock to tempt her out as well (don't need much, it's the smell that does it). When she started to come out, I got toys (the kind on sticks) so I could play with her (and get her nearer me) and moved her food to beside my seat.
When she was ok with that, I lay on the sofa (my seat) and put meat on my hand and put my hand on the floor around the corner of the sofa so that she would get used to my hand (and smell) a little. I tried it with dried but she figured that she could just paw the biscuits out of my hand! From there I moved my hand to infront of the couch and used my other hand to just gently touch her.
It just takes time and patience. It helps if they have a safe place to go to when there are people around where no one is allowed to move, look in, or go too ~ Munchie's hiding place was behind an armchair and then (as she became braver) a bookcase.

Thanks agapetos. One of them did come out of her shell a little bit. She will be in the same room with adults and has started allowing adults to pet her if they move slowly and gently.

One of the kitties found a new home today and it looks like one more may find a new one tomorrow. I'm keeping the third one. His name is Toulouse. (I think that how his name is spelled. It's after the orange, mischievous tabby on Aristocats)

On my kitchen blinds, I finally replaced them, then put stick tape on the sill so they keep away... 
and I'll get him in about a month!
