You weren''t a pain in my butt! But maybe a pain in Bunny''s? LOL

Smokey loves to chase her to the point that she will stay under the couch until she knows it''s "all clear." THEN she''ll come out...he''ll hear her bells (on her collar) and come running again....this goes on all day!!! They''re still battling for the ALPHA position, but I think they''re agreeing to disagree!!! ROFL

LOL... I wanted to add that 3 years later, Vinny STILL chases teeny tiny Gracie who really hates him...She will tolerate him and they will sometimes hang together...but 9 out of 10 she is terrorized LOL...Poor thing lives in fear...But she''s got a great life in any event...I just need to keep Vincent entertained...

This pretty much says it all.... Entitled "Is he still there? Make it stop Make it stop...Can he see me?...Oh dear God" LOL

 

[AChiOAlumna]

MMM...that IS darling!!!!! I wish I could get my babies to give me picture ops like that!!!!

 

[AndyRosse]

Oh MMM!!! What an adorable pic with a hilarious caption

. Although, those eyes of hers don''t look like she''s scared!!! More like you woke her up from her nap

hehe. But you are absolutely right, both her and Vinny are very, very, very lucky to have you taking care of them!!!

Christine...thanks so much for all that clarification and information...it''s good to know as far as when we communicate with our own vets and to educate ourselves on how to take the best care for our cats!!!


I love

your two beauties!!! I''m so sorry to hear that Murphy is in kidney failure

. What can you do for him????

Thanks - they are cute, huh? (not that I''m biased or anything!

) And there are 5 more.......

Murphy is ok - he is 10 years old now, and diagnosed in the summer of 2004 with kidney failure. I give him fluids under the skin every day, and he has also developed high blood pressure as a result of the kidney disease, so he gets a pill for that too once a day. He is happy, he eats well, and if you didn''t know it, you''d never suspect he was even sick!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

Christine, Murphy is very lucky you''re a D.V.M. and know exactly the care he needs to live a full and happy life! He is lucky to have you as a mommy!!!

MMM...don''t worry about the hijacking, but Gracie looks absolutely possessed there!!!! LOL Her eyes just look demonish or something!!!!

 

[Lorelei]

Christine thank you so much for the great post, it was so helpful to many of us and those who read this thread in future! Wow you could teach too, you explain everything so well, it is great to have you on board!! Your kitty babes are gorgeous

Murphy looks great and seems to be coping very well with his kidney trouble with the help of his wonderful Mommy

 

[AmantdeChat]

Look at all the great pics!!!

Christine: Libby and Murphy are just beautiful! Is that Murphy''s tail wrapped around Libby? That is a great picture. Sorry to hear about Murphy''s illness. Sounds like he has a great mom taking care of him though!

MMM: Poor Gracie, she looks possessed! Vincent should be ashamed of himself!

Yea right. No self respecting cat has ever or will ever apologize for their behavior! No matter how much you tell them they should!

AChiO: Look at that cute butt!!! She is such a doll. I just want to snuggle in her furry belly!

Good to see all the kitty pictures. Must have more!!!!!

widget...wanted to let you know that I followed your advice and it''s driving Smokey nuts!!!

widget suggested to me that if BB had a bell on her collar for me to take it off...because Smokey would hear the bell, get excited and chase BB back under the couch!! Well, I took off the bell last night and now Smokey is hypervigilant. He''s constantly on the lookout for Bunny, but at least she gets the chance to leave the couch den more often since Smokey can''t hear her anymore from across the house...

Great idea widget!!

 

[AndyRosse]

LOL, I was thinking the same thing AChiOAlumna. At least this gives BB a running start! LOL

That Smokey of yours sure likes being a troublemaker

No...don't have to worry about him....Bunny has no interest in provoking him, unless she's already being provoked...then it's every cat for him/herself!!!

I does give her a running start though....

Rascal...Smokey has been a troublemaker since we've had him at 6 weeks old!!! He used to do the same thing with Sasha, but she let him be the ALPHA and would let him pounce on her!! BB, on the other hand, will not take his antics lying down!! He definitely has a challenge on his hands!!! LOL

 

[moremoremore]

LOL...No, she''s terrified! You just have to stop worrying...she''s either going to stick up for herself or let herself be run over....There''s nothing you can do...but they *can* live together without *much* incident

 

[AChiOAlumna]

MMM...terrified?? I doubt that LOL...annoyed? bothered? tired of getting chased? Yeah...I would say that...she''s definitely more vocal than Smokey, so when he gets too close, BB has NO problem voicing her discontent...they do have to work it out themselves though....

Oops....I meant Gracie...She lives in fear!
