Having many indoor cats all my life, I know the sound. For me, it means, run for the paper towels. When cats clean themselves, they collect excess fur in their bodies. When they eject that, they make a hitching, almost throwing up noise, over and over until it finally comes up. Looks like a wet blob...

Morning, Gypsy, Sam here. Been a while. Just wanted to thank you for the pictures of Simon. He's gorgeous! What a sweet face. My internet is spotty because of where I live. Currently between two of the biggest fires in California, smoke and ash for two months, now. Breathing it, eating it, cars cove...

Oh, Gypsy, I'm so sorry. Sitting here crying and wishing I could give you a hug, or some comforting words. Not very good at that. Just know I'm thinking about you, and sending a big air hug. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

I agree with Kat, every cat is different. I always have at least 7-15 cats at a time. I live in the country, get a lot of dumped kitties. Each of them have lived very long lives and hardly ever seen a vet. Mostly because they are indoor only. Babies get Friskies pate and Kitten Chow. I always have a...

No worries, about the spelling, although I'm the same way. And I completely forgot about the climbing! Jasmine did it so much we nicknamed her Monkey Girl. That's so funny. Good memories.

Ahhhhh.....toes in the sand, sound of the surf. Watching the sun creep over the horizon and spread it's rays across the waves. You can feel your soul being recharged. Makes you feel so small and close to God at the same time. I'm a few hours away, but try to go at least once a year. Off season, less...

Hey Gypsy, just curious. Do you ever see the Manx kitties hop? Years ago we rescued a kitten from some people who raised Manx cats. They were giving her away because she had a long tail, no bob. She was Siamese, crossed eyed, and the cutest little thing on the planet. But, when she would start to ru...

Let's see, Sasha, Sydney, Stormy, Sparky,ummmmmmm......Spud. Now that's a fun name. I have one aptly named Chunk. She's huge. Black and white long hair. She was the runt of the litter of five girls. Was. All the rest are short hair skinnies, Oreo (black and white)Ashley, (gray)Gracie, (another gray)...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the best news. I'm so glad she's okay. Can't wait to 'see' the grandcats. I'm going to guess 4 babies. Thank you for letting us know. Must be a huge weight off your mind. Too bad you don't have a teeny tiny camera (kitten-cam) to attach to Sissy. Happy dancing all around!

No, thank you. Honestly, this was my first forum and it used to be such fun. Now, there's too much depressing stuff being posted about the virus and I'm so tired of being force fed virus info. You can't get away from it. And, before I get lectured, I realize this is the new norm, but it's also my ch...
