Posted by: Codysmom - 09-29-2021, 04:38 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (4) The lighting was good today so I decided to try and get some pics of Wesley for his 'adult' entry for the calendar. We had a good time together and I did manage to get a couple I think will work nicely, but there were also a few fun pics in-between of him playing which I thought were so cute. Here are a few of them... This next pic I took on his first birthday, showing what a mischievous little scamp he is...   Litter problem Posted by: HelenMac - 09-26-2021, 05:30 AM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Discussion - Replies (18) I opened the usual bag of  litter to tip in the container last night was the same one I always buy or so I thought but as I tipped it in thought this is different its way darker in color but also had big white lumps in it.. So I took photos of it before sifting out the lumps and filling the 1 liter jug for tipping in the litter robot.   I also emailed the company asking what the white lumps are and why was it different in color.  Sat down to watch tv which was slowly got harder and harder to see within 1/2 and hour my eyes had swelled almost completely shut which is an  allergic reaction.  Called hubby who got me a cold flannel to put on my eyes and he said what have you touched told him only thing is I tipped a new bag of litter into the bucket i said its the one I always buy but  he quickly went and checked the bag came back and said there is a sticker on it saying new improved  scent for odor control ( lavender ) great I'm allergic to lavender. Quickly took my antihistamines.    Can't believe they just send it out without letting me know its changed especially as its a standing order which states  carbon and baking soda.      For now I have to keep the cats off my lap can't let them sleep with me and I can't pat them cause every time I do I swell up worse  eyes still half shut so presume must get on their fur when using the robot..   Quickly went on line to find something locally  but its all out of stock.  Yikes.      Will be ringing all the stores tomorrow to see if anyone has anything else available that hubby can pick up.   Opinions Needed Posted by: Smudge's Mom - 09-14-2021, 02:23 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (3) Stan and I were having a discussion this morning about which word bests describes a disgusting situation: ICKY OOKY YUCKY Stan is a YUCKY person...I mean that is the word he prefers.  Actually, Stan is a pretty nice guy. I think ICKY is a child's word....Oh, Mommy, I got bubble gum in my hair...it's all ICKY. However, I think OOKY really shows disgust.  Stand in front of a mirror and say it.  Look what happens to your face.  Your eyes scrunch up and you mouth turns down and you look like you are ready to hurl.   So what do you all think. Okay so this is what happens during a Covid shutdown.  What can you do? We are really, really bored.   Zimba has no shame Posted by: HelenMac - 09-12-2021, 11:03 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (2) I was on a zoom call yesterday  Zimba decided he needed to join in.  Draped himself all over me started lying on the arm of the chair like a gentleman then wanted to go on his back and ended up like this   Thought I'd share some pics of the fur babies. Posted by: Codysmom - 09-06-2021, 03:06 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (3) I like to take pics of the fur babies every now and again, keeps me practicing with my camera. However, sometimes you get one of them who just doesn't want to be cooperative. Cody! - this is how I found him, don't ask me how or why he was sleeping like this. Silly boy! Katy was very cooperative and soooo SWEET! She is such an adorable and beautiful girl. Wesley, always a good subject to photograph if I take out his favourite toy.   Cat Food Question? Need advice... Posted by: MUM_of_FLUFFY - 09-01-2021, 01:33 AM - Forum: Ragdoll Health - Replies (11) Fluffy will be 4 years old in November (so fully grown) and I'm wondering if I should change his food to a urinary tract formula or an indoor formula? He was fed Royal Canin Kitten (wet and dry) in his first year of life - then for the past 3 years Royal Canin Ragdoll (dry) and Royal Canin Instinctive (wet). He also has a PetKit fountain (which he loves) and drinks every day from the fountain. My question specifically relates to preventing urinary blockages in male cats. Fluffy has never had a blockage but I never want him to experience that. Prevention being better than cure is my thinking. My previous cat was female so this is not an area I have any experience in. When Fluffy was a kitten I read articles about urinary crystals in males and it really scared me. I did read some advice that recommended not to put them on a urinary tract diet in the first 3 years because they're still growing. I don't know if that's good advice - but I followed it... So now that he's fully grown - is it time to change his food (particularly his dry food) to a urinary tract formula? Any comments on this and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.   Zimba and Shadow Posted by: HelenMac - 08-30-2021, 04:29 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Stories - Replies (3) Zimba chased Shadow thru the  entrance way thru the lounge down the passage way thru my bedroom thru the cat door out into the enclosure up on top of the table they sit on to watch the birds.  Shadow made it as for Zimba he was going so fast he over shot the table and sent it sliding a few inches across the concrete with Shadow on it I might add so it hit the amplimesh which made a loud bang giving him and shadow a fright spun round straight thru the cat door thru the bedroom down the passage into the lounge and zooomed straight under the cat tower beside my chair.  Looking around as if to say what happened. As for Shadow he sitting out there wondering where Zimb's gone.  I love the morning and evening Zoomies so wonderful watching the boys play together.    Unfortunately I was standing in the kitchen making breakfast so didn't have my camera but saw the whole thing was so funny.   Happy 1st Birthday Wesley! Posted by: Codysmom - 08-26-2021, 05:07 PM - Forum: Ragdoll Cat Gallery - Replies (6) It feels like yesterday that this adorable boy came into my life. Not only has he grown and matured but his sweet, friendly purrsonality is also growing too.  Linda sent me this photo of Dante which I've included (of course) - Two gorgeous brothers.    Kittens, In General Posted by: Smudge's Mom - 08-25-2021, 03:17 PM - Forum: General Chat - Replies (1) Some of you may remember that I have been volunteering at a local no-kill shelter for many years (actually since, 2002). It is a physically beautiful establishment....just rebuilt 18 months ago buy some local multimillionaires.  The animals (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, the occasional mouse/rat) lack for nothing.  Right now we are at the height of Kitten Season.  The babies are old enough to be released from foster care and brought into the adoption center.  We have soooo many.  However, the good news is that I don't even need to learn their names because by the following week, 3/4 of them have been adopted and have gone on to their new forever homes and a new bunch have been brought in.  However, I have to whine a bit, because I am exhausted....hope you will forgive me. It is a well known "fact" that cats are fastidious creatures.  My question is, when the He** do kittens learn that?  OMG, I can't believe what I was cleaning up today.  Every litter seemed to be trying to outdo  the kitties in the next cage.  "Oh, this is such a nice box for peeing, but the cage floor is waaaaaay better for poop.  Oh eating  this nice fresh food is wonderful, but not as wonderful as sitting in it.  Yummy... cold water is soooooo good, but it is even better to splash it into my brother's face and spill allllllll over."  Okay, done whining.  And I do have to admit, that watching them during their play time is so much fun.  Cuddle time ain't bad, either.
