Quoted from SilverUnicorn:

Thanks for the well wishes! Hobbes is NOT getting along with his brother AT ALL. They really got into it tonight. It's like they never knew each other. More stresses. Keeping them separated and trying to do scent swaps to get them acclimated again.
Chris

That's typical after an extended vet visit. One cat doesnt recognize the others scent. It will get better shortly once that nasty vet smell wears off

Mr.French has never shown much of an interest in pinball, but RCT does make a good perch to view routine activities

Quoted from HighFive:

Funny thing, i was thinking if the playfield glass was strong enough to support a cat, was worried if it could break, looking for my first pin to buy and was worried about that. Guess that thread answer my question lol.

They definitely will not break the glass. One of my cats would constantly jump up and down from the back box. When he landed on the glass, it would make an awful noise, but never hurt anything.

Quoted from dmacy:

I have a new pinball tech. She works on things right meow.
Side note, I don’t know if she knows how to solder?![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

My fiancee, stepdaughter, and I just love Karolina! Look at that character. Poor thing with her shaved tail, and chunk out of her ear. Glad to hear she's doing well.

Quoted from dmacy:

We love her so much! Yeah she’s still recovering from the slow release meds for teeth removal. Karolina was always a neutral cat (she was a foster mommy) that one kitty took a swipe at her and caused that little nip out. She’s not a fighter nor is the breed.
Siberian cats are still pretty new to NA and my wife got her from Forest Wind in Buffalo. They’re nearly hypoallergenic and have a great temperament much like Maine Coons. For anyone interested about the breed, this is who we got her through and highly recommend. Not paid but worth sharing if you aren’t able to rescue. https://www.sweetsiberians.com/

Siberian!! Nice to know the breed name. Our kitty is just a mix breed, but I swear theres some Siberian in her somewhere. The barrel chest, short legs, fuzzy feet, coat texture, etc....

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Missing a leg, eh? Probably does not slow him/her down one bit.
Here is one better for you -- a cat missing two legs.
Earlier this year a client brought in a kitten that had experienced some unknown trauma. A front and back leg were damaged beyond the point of healing or fixation, so they were removed. Since then she has healed up nicely and gets around just fine on two legs -- having them on opposite sides probably helps balance things out. She is so quick that she can be tough to catch when its time to be put up in the cat house.
[quoted image]
Everyone has been calling her Magic. . . but I tend to refer to her as the Bipolar Cat.

OH MY LORD!!! Shes awesome!!! Any pics of her standing??? How pretty and proud she looks!!

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Newest addition to the hospital cat crew.
We've dubbed him "Krinkle." A concerned citizen dropped him off at the clinic after finding him on the side of the road and his back legs were both broken (or as we like to say, krinkled ).
Were were able to save one of the back legs and as you can see even without one it has not stopped him from reaching great heights.
[quoted image]

Bless Krinkle, you, and the concerned citizen who brought him in. So good to see him happy and Healthy

Well colonel mustard is hyperthyroid.
They’re going to give me a transdermal gel to apply to his ear daily.

Very sorry to hear that. Rest assured, it's not a death sentence. They can live many years happily with that condition. A friend of mine has a boi named Tater that's been on meds for about 7 years now and hes still kickin'. Best wishes for you and Colonel Mustard.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

I think we found the culprit that pissed in our bed last week.
Mom caught Ouija red-handed peeing in her brother's, Dewey, dog bed.
There has been a spat of peeing outside the box lately;
previously we have suspected Jack and/or Wednesday (Lil Bit)
But now the cat that regularly poos outside the box may be the recent offender in peeing outside the box
or on rugs or beds.
Mom was so pissed, she ended uptaking Ouija, putting her nose in the pee,
then throwing her outside on our back deck for about 5 minutes, ( our deck in fully surrounded with 3 ft high railing and gates.)
Mind you all our cats are inside only cats . Ouija cried for a few minutes, then mom relented and let her back in the house,
but Ouija is going to be walking on thin ice from now on.
We have plenty of litter boxes on every level of the house
(8 in total and all are super jumbo size and cleaned 2to3 times a day).
Pooing outside the box we can handle as it is fairly easy clean up, but peeing can wreck havok, especially if not found right away.
And it is a bad influence on the other cats.
Can not think of anything to explain this sudden change in bathroom behavior.
what to do, what to do.

Late to this party, but yes, I agree 100% with a few previous posts. Many times, urinating outside of the box is a telltale sign of urinary track/bladder issues. You should have a vet check out the offender asap. I've run into this exact issue 2x in my life with cats. Once was a bladder stone and UTI, second time was early stages of kidney failure.

Quoted from pyrotech:

What did they come up with?

Thus far, they are recommending some new lamp sockets, new playfield, ramps, and plastics. Annabelle has stated that all mechs need disassembly and cleaning. NOW, on to the backbox area. I wonder what Paisley will say about that.

Well, job foreman Scribbles showed up just as Annabelle was inspecting the empty backbox. Annabelle reported her findings, and I belive I've been given the green light to begin sanding on the backbox very soon. Inspector Paisley was no where to be found.

We have hardwood on all 3 levels of the house, and staircases. 3 cats, no problems. Sadly, it sounds like they just didn't really want to have a feline companion. Boooooo on them...

#3374 2 years ago
Quoted from Jenniebear:

I just know what the shelter told me to go slow and give it time.

I usually separate the new cat in its own room with its own food and litter. Shut the door at first. Seems mean, but its necessary sometimes. The pets will begin by sniffing each other under the door. Be sure and check in often, and show the new guy lots of love. The other cats will also begin noticing you go in and out of the room and smelling the new cat on you. They're curious like that, lol. Odors mingling is a good thing. Gradually introduce them after a few days, see how it goes. Eventually they'll settle in and you can give them free roam of the home. I guess that's probably the longer version of go slow and give it time.

I had some pins shoved into a different room during some painting. Of course Paisley had to take advantage of this.

Then why bother posting in a thread specifically for people who love cats? Your post serves absolutely no purpose other than to upset people for no reason. Go troll somewhere else and maybe eat a big bowl of shit while you're at it. BTW, you're absolutely wrong.

Awesome! I have a similar picture! Annabelle is our rescue. She's a tortie mix breed, and a tiny little thing. She was the runt of her litter.

Quoted from Jenk540i:

Thank you. We’re owned many cars but he’s one of the sweetest cats. Very intelligent but what makes him so interesting is that he’s the only cat we’ve owned who will watch TV. Animated movies (favorite is Despicable Me) and nature shows with animals. He will sit and watch for hours.
Here he is watching a Hallmark movie.
[quoted image][quoted image]

If you don't know already, YouTube has many good Cat TV videos! Our cats love those. It's usually just hours of footage of birds, squirrels, chipmunks, etc... The cats are mesmerized and will often start chattering. Give it a try

Got out of bed this morning and on the floor by my side of the bed is a 2" yellow flipper rubber. All my pinball parts are downstairs in the basement. I suspect feline involvement.

Miss Paisley does this constantly! I just give her silicone rings as toys now. It beats her stealing them....
