Hey, where could I get a plastic clip like that? I could really use that for Paizly and Jax. Now I have to have Bruce help me all the time when I need to trim their nails.

I cannot wait to see more pictures of the orange twins.

I know that the lady said that they're very hard to find and she couldn't even remember the name of where she got it. She said that a lot rescue groups get them. It looks like a plastic pair of scissors except that it has flat prongs on the end. You have to pull up their scruff and then you press down and clip the skin. It doesn't hurt the cat but it makes them not move and relax. It doesn't work forever so you still have to be quick about trimming their nails. I just couldn't believe that it also worked on Sky. I've had to muzzle him because he gets so crazy and he'll try to bite me and growl and hiss.

I guess they're called binder clips but I can't find a place online that sells them. Here's a link that says you can buy them from an office supply store. This isn't the kind that I have though. Here's the link:http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/510696. Here's an article talking about scruffing a cats neck and the calming effects of it: http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com.../detail/650761. Good luck.

for the record - I've no idea who would poo poo for getting these two - guess that is b/c I don't post here as much anymore - out of the loop. But They are GOREGOUS and I'm thrilled for you - sometimes when you are sad - the joy of a baby will make you smile again.
I hope that made sense!
((hugs))

I can pm you about it if you'd like. I also kept telling everyone that I didn't want to adopt any more cats and I wanted to get down to only two and that the time just wasn't right for me. Well as you know women can change their minds and I just got an over whelming urge to adopt a fluffy orange male kitten which turned into two because they needed to be adopted together.

I've always wanted a med/long haired orange male kitten but I was never able to find one before. I really do think that my RB Sunny had something to do with this because he saw how much I missed having a male orangie around.

Aaawwwww! What a wonderful surprise. I agree- they have Somali faces so I am sure Sunny sent them.
Oh- that will be so much fun over the next months

Orion waves hi and says he wants to come and play.

Congratulations Tracey! They are both gorgeous

Tracey I'm just seeing this - I had no idea! What lucky kitties! They are just gorgeous! I don't know what their ancestry is, but I agree, they don't look like basic orangies. Beautiful faces.

I'm so happy for you! Pinot waves a paw hello and welcome to the newbies Alani and Blaze!

Alani and Blaze... great names! Tracey, they are too cute for words! What lucky fellows to have ended up with you.

I so look forward to see more pictures and hear stories about them. Fister sends purrs - and will you give them some kisses from me, please!

oh!!! Look at all that ORANGE

I am absolutely an orangie fan and looking at those two babies helps me imagine what my Dylan probably looked like as a baby!! I will so enjoy seeing more pictures of these two boys!!

Welcome Alani and Blaze!! Looks like Sky was so sweet with them
