haha might work different on dogs - I know for horses its apparently squeezing the upper lip that puts them into a more torpid state (thank you QI for random facts

).

So what recipe's are you all using? I had a really good burger a while ago but I couldn't get their recipe.

You must be mistaken, I was asking for your guy's recipes for cat burgers, not a fake cake thing. :huh:

Kit- --- no cat! - they grow up fast indeed!

Looks fairly big too - but wait there were two were there not

Wow he's gotten big! Very hansome, too.
How's Rudy doing? Also growing up fast?

Valentino is doing well.

Valentino likes to be greeted on the dining room table. All kinds of head butting, leaping head butting, belly rubbing, and purring and chipping. But once that's done he's gone. He rarely come around to join us. It's kinda sad. I think he just doesn't want to be around Pooper.

Pooper, on the other hand LOVES being around us. He's at my feet right now. He loves to play, and we have our little games he goes nuts for.
He's slowly becoming a lot less aggressive with hand clawing and biting when we pay, which is cool. He's becoming a really fantastic friend.

Pooper has had some problems, like pooping in the bathtub. But I think we solved that with not only a second litter box, but really watching his diet.
We feed them the fresh, few ingredient, healthy food, but it turns out there are a couple things that don't agree with him, like rabbit. As we eliminate specific foods, we see he doesn't poop in the bath tub. Problem solved. One funny thing too, is he doesn't know how to cover his poop. It's really funny to watch him scrape at the top of the covered box, at the air, everywhere BUT covering his poo. LOL This was a problem because rabbit made his poo stink to high heaven. No more rabbit, no more stinky.

It's been fun watching them grow, and learn, and discover. Remember, they're my first kittens ever!
I wan more!

I read this whole thread as if reading a suspense book, trying to figure out weather or not you had declawed them...it appears you didn't, which makes me really happy.
Cat are complicated pets, I'm glad these 2 have a dedicated owner

we want more pictures, by the way!

Bitter Jeweler · Jun 16, 2012

Yeah, I could go either way with declawing.
I'd rather not, but if a cat just can't use them appropriately, off they go.

I am really happy that giving them enough scratching posts, where they want them, has really, really, really, kept errant clawing to a minimum.
We just got a new couch, and they aren't touching it (digging claws into it). We also regularly trim them too.

Pooper is such a character, he makes me laugh so much.

Glad to see he is doing so well, David!

CONGRATS, MAN!

I love animals, but have always had a soft spot for cats in particular. We have four of the silly things now- all Maine coons (actually... I think I mentioned that to you at "the other place")

Enjoy him/her.
