Happy Birthday, Little Redheaded Boy Posted by: Smudge's Mom - 03-17-2022, 01:29 PM - Forum: Other Pet Gallery - Replies (8) Patrick Avedon O'Hara is 14 years old today.  Happy Birthday and Happy St. Paddy's Day to my boy.   Web host Posted by: admin - 03-15-2022, 08:25 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (9) So the issue some of you may have been experiencing the last two days with login appears to be rectified but please let me know if it persists. It's an issue with the web host removing that feature whilst simultaneously increasing the rate that I pay annually. I've made it clear that I will change providers if they don't restore it and appears to be restored this evening although I've yet to receive confirmation of such. Thanks to those who reported it and hopefully it hasn't caused undue consternation.   Oxalis Weeds Posted by: MUM_of_FLUFFY - 03-11-2022, 07:16 AM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (3) We've had torrential rain here for three weeks. We're not in a flood zone so we've been very fortunate. However the constant rain has caused weeds to start growing in Fluffy's enclosure. At first I suspected the weeds were a type of clover, but upon further investigation I was able to identify them as Oxalis. Clover and Oxalis look very similar, but Oxalis has a distinctive heart shaped leaf. Imagine my shock and horror when I discovered Oxalis has calcium oxalate crystals. I knew that calcium oxalate crystals can cause serious illness in cats (particularly male cats). I knew that a diet low in moisture (such as dry food fed exclusively) can contribute to calcium oxalate crystals in cats. It's why I've always made sure Fluffy has a pet fountain and access to wet food as well as dry food. But I had no idea oxalis weeds could pose a similar threat to his health. Thank goodness I was able to identify the plant and immediately take steps to remove it. I've spent the past few days weeding his enclosure. Oxalis is so hard to get out because it has to removed with the root ball intact and the tiny little bulbs attached. I never use herbicide (weed-killer) in his enclosure because I don't want to expose Fluffy to potentially poisonous chemicals. His cat grass is looking pretty dilapidated these days because I planted it in a long rectangular window-box type planter. He likes to lie on his cat grass and eat it in that position. So I bought some organic soil and filled a new pot with it. Just waiting for the seeds to arrive in the mail so I can plant them!!! Moving forward I think I will need a couple of pots of cat-grass so I can rotate them in and out of the enclosure...   Never a dull moment!

This crazy boy came charging into the lounge and scrambled up the curtain and climbed up onto the curtain pelmet. So chuffed with himself for getting up there, I'm guessing he was playing the game "I'm king of the castle!" ...."And you're the dirty rascal!" Lol He was up there for at least 10 minutes, running from one side to the other having a wonderful time - the little Stinker! After a while he decided he wanted to get down and tried to (as the photo below shows), however he realised it was rather high so he quickly retreated and we had to fetch the ladder and climb up to rescue him (all the more fun for him). LOL I'm only sorry I couldn't photograph the rescue operation; I think everything was part of the game for him.  I only hope he doesn't decide to repeat this 'game', it was rather nerve-wracking for me - the little SCAMP!   I am so freakin' stupid Posted by: Smudge's Mom - 02-27-2022, 05:52 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (9) I ordered 5 bags of cat litter from Chewy's.  It arrived today.  It seems that I hit the button for the 40 pound bags instead of the 20 pound bags.  OMG, do you know how heavy 40 pounds (18+ Kilos)  is at my age????????   ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH.  I need an "Oh, Poor Gina."  Thank you  . .   Stand with Ukraine Posted by: admin - 02-26-2022, 06:18 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (9)   Happy 8th birthday Katy! Posted by: Codysmom - 02-26-2022, 04:38 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (7) My beautiful baby girl turned 8 years old today.  Happy birthday my sweet beautiful baby girl! xx Ever the helpful kitty, she often keeps me company while I work on my computer. I don't know how this could ever be comfortable...LOL ...after a squished up sleep, some birdwatching will be in order. My sweet ball of floof! About 5 months old. Mommy's little sweetheart!    My new 'baby'... Posted by: MUM_of_FLUFFY - 02-19-2022, 02:35 AM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (28) About 8 weeks ago my neighbour kindly gave me 3 pink geranium cuttings - which looked like this... I didn't expect any flowers this season - but I have been blessed with a tiny bud just opening up... and another bud which is still closed...not a great photo but you can see the growth... a close-up of the bud... there's really no glory in growing geraniums - they're a beginners plant - but I love a water-wise garden - especially in the Australian heat and particularly after the bushfires of 2020... sooky la-la plants have no place in my yard anymore...   Wesley at 17 months Posted by: Codysmom - 02-17-2022, 04:00 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (8) Sorry I've been neglecting posting pics of my fur babies. However as promised here are some I took of Wesley this week. What a ball of fun he is, he hasn't changed in that way since a kitten, except that he's becoming even more loving and sweet as he matures. Love this adorable boy so much!    Just look at that mischievous FACE! LOL On top of the fridge (Dec 2021)  Can't believe he was once this tiny (6 weeks) xx   Happy 9th Birthday Zimba Posted by: HelenMac - 02-09-2022, 02:26 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (6) Wow hard to believe my baby is 9years old today. Happy birthday Zimba my big loving snuggly buddy.   First Previous Next Last
