Going kitty shopping today!

[luckies4me]

We will be heading to Petsmart in about 30 minutes to go kitty and ratty shopping! But if there is anything you all recommend, such as treats, toys etc, please let me know.


So far the list goes like this:

new collars and tags
cat food...obviously
catnip
fuzzy balls
???


I'll also be ratty shopping for some treats and bird toys!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh you are lucky!

What about a scratching post or one of those cardboard scratching things that lay on the ground. Or do you have those already? Another litter box so new kitty can have her own?

Good luck and I know you'll let us know who the lucky kitty is!

[luckies4me]

Well I actually haven't found one yet but want to prepare and the other felines need some toys as well, hehe. I was going to go with a bunny but have since changed my mind.


We do have scratching posts though...oh I know! Those feathers on a stick!

[luckies4me]

I think I want a tuxedo longhaired kitty!

[luckies4me]

Well we went shopping. I forgot to buy collars and tags but I can do it this weekend. I did however remember to buy their cat nip and got them some fuzzy micies.


Here are some pics of the "stuff" and Houdini sniffing the catnip.

[luckies4me]

Houdini got really excited, she hasn't had catnip for a while.

My other kitties Blacky and Ickeris, they LOVE catnip!!! If you buy them a plant of it, they will eat it all within like seven minutes, hehe.


Reminds me of TailChasers Song, when TailChaser sniffs the catnip plants for the first time and the other kitties think he is going to die because he had an overdose. hahahahah I love that book!


Anyways, Houdini.....

good luck with the kitty shopping, the best feeling was choosing my little lexie from the cats protection league, my other cats have chosen me , turning up as strays , she was the first one i have ever chosen, i nearly missed taking her, as i thought she might be a bit too timid for my noisey household but she is lovely, get a mouse with beads inside it, lexie loves hers good luck

[luckies4me]

A mouse with beads in it.

Where do you find those? They sound interesting.

[carole]

well my friend new zealand is a bit far to come for those, i am sure the big us of a would have something similar, well not sure if they are beads but makes a noise when she plays with it, some sort of beads in there. cheers

Blacky and Ickeris are my cats in California ok. Ickeris was my cat Wackos baby. Her name was Wacko because she came from the crazy neighbor who lived across the street. Black is from a litter of four kittens that I found on Easter when I was in the 5th grade. I found them behind a tiny wall squished between another wall at my school. Blacky was the first one I saw, and he was the one we ended up keeping. Even though originally my mom didn't want any. Blackys sister and brother were killed by someone, I believe her ex bf (brother and sisters father) or his brother. At at least we blamed it on Francisco, and yes I have mentiond Blacky before. Blacky survived because he liked to hide behind the stove, that saved his life! He's getting pretty old, around 13. He's a feisty cat who gets cranky a lot hehe. He likes to swat, but it's his old age. There is also Baby, my black and white cat who also lives with my family in California. She was a birthday present for my 18th bf from my ex. but Denny, my step dad fell so in love with her that when I moved she stayed with my family. Then there is Thor, their persian kitty who they rescued from their neighbor. The neighbor got a new dog, I think a mastiff and stopped going home and just kinda ended up at my moms house with his owners permission. So there you have it, my other fur family. Yes they are my cats, they are part of my family, but it's kinda hard to post pics of them when they live a whole state away ok. Perhaps I should have my mother send me some pics or maybe she could join Pet Talk to let you know about our sweeties. BTW Ickeris is our fat cat with a thyroid disorder, she is on meds for the rest of her life. She also has heart problems.

?? This is the first you're mentioning Blacky and Ickeris - on your inventory that you so thoughtfully provided for us on 3/26/03 on another thread, your cats are:

As recently as 2/16/03 you once again provided a detailed list of your pets, and there was no mention of a Spanky, Blacky, or Ickeris on it:

I currently have Four Bengal kitties, Houdini, Mystic, TIN TIN and Cheetah! I also have:
one white spot gecko named Geicko
one California Desert Tortoise (with F&W permit mind you) named Lucy
one hedgehog (soon to be two!) named Speedy
one wild house mouse named Fred
and LOTS of rats...they are as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as Spanky is concerned, he is not my cat per say, he lives with Dans dad. But I do consider him a part of the family, but he doesn't live with us. He was rescued as a feral cat by Dan. He's a cute tom kitty, kinda chunky and looks like Randis cat. But he has an attitude. Tin Tin too is my cat but he lives with Spanky at the house. Is that a crime?

The same day, 2/16/03, you posted this on a different thread:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, you remembered Spanky this time. Kind of odd to forget a supposedly loved, treasured, member of the family, when posting on the same day.........

The previous day, 2/15/03, this was posted, but you never answered anyone's questions about what type of kittens they were:

I came home tonight after visiting with some friends of Dan and I's and to my suprise I walk into the room and I had a NEW litter of kittens!! I cannot see how many she had...I think it may only be two. That means I now have three litters at once lol.
This is a good thing though and I know who the dad is but I could have sworn she must have had them early as I was not expecting them this soon! If she did have them on time I may have another litter tonight or tomorrow as my other girl was bred the same day! A toast to kittens lol!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off I DID reply. If you read the thread I was talking about RAT KITTENS! NOT CATS! Again, that was mentioned!!! Rats, not cats, understand? Does it really sound like I am talking about cats? How could I have three litters of cats at once?


Here's a post from 3/8/03, a mere 3 weeks ago:

I took some pics of Simon today. Yes he lost his collar *sigh*
Anywho I haven't taken pics of him for while (since he was a kitten) so I took some new ones today. Sorry they are kinda plain but we don't have much lighting in this house, urrgh, so these will have to do. Enjoy!
Simon lounging around...on his favorite blankie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon and Sadie are my neighbors kitties. They were rescues that I rehomed, so they are jointly mine in a way. They practically live here as my friend lives in the same complex as I do. But they just bought a house and are leaving so I won't be able to visit Simon and Sadie as often anymore. But I do believe I mentioned in another post who they were.

Again sorry they aren't so great but I will have better kitty pics sometime soon. I took a great one of Mystic and Cheetah sleeping together the other day (like always, they are attached to the hip ) but it was REALLY dark so I gotta get some updated ones of them and Houdini, and Sadie as well.......and Spanky and Tin Tin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sadie??? Who's Sadie?? Who the heck is Simon??

Oh, here's one from 3/10/03 - a kitty named River??



You must not have read the gazillion posts I wrote about River did you? River was a kitten that I rescued and bottle fed...she has SEVERAL threads!


You can read about her story here:

Now, I do not have to post about every single animal that I own. When I feel that I want to I do, if I don't than I don't, period. When I take pictures I post. Perhaps when I go visit California next I will take some photos of the cats, but until then no one will see any. I am not going to fly to Cali just to take pictures of the cats for someone to believe me, that is retarted.

[luckies4me]

Actually I think I do hve some pictures of Icky and the others. I will try to find them and scan them so you all can see how adorably cute they are!!!!

[aguu]

Hmmm.. I've had a couple of slow days at work most of which I spent browsing PT. And I got all caught up on Luckie's posts. I totally agree with you "Creatures" - I think this young lady has a bit on an "prevarication" problem to put it lightly. BUT I think that the best way to deal with it is to ignore her. I believe you're may be just egging her on. Please don't take offense to my saying this. Personally I feel really sorry for this person.
She seems very lonely to me.

Hey Luckies, rats don't have litters of two.

eight and sixteen little bundles of joy; tiny pink squeakies.

Caught up on what? What is there not to understand in my posts? Did you not read them? It's pretty self explanatory to me.


Why would you feel sorry for me? Lonely? haha that's funny! I have a beautiful 16 month old son, a wonderful fiance and my cute pets! What's there to be lonely about?

Rats can have litter of just about any size. Why don't you go post on RPNW and see what they tell you? I bet you will feel really dumb.


And why did you write that anyway? The smallest litter of babies I have had is three, and that was the most recent one. so you need to do a little more research. I think I should know, I've been breeding for years. Perhaps you are not fimilar with the pearl gene as well? yes well you have a lot to learn.
