About that blog comment, Christine, the first thing that comes to my mind is Eric. Could he have done it out of anger and revenge?
That was my first thought. I asked him (and it took a lot of restraint to ask and not accuse). He said he didn't even remember that my blog was up. He has no idea who it was or who it could be.
I think I'm going to save my blog to my harddrive and then delete it from the internet.

you can do that but there will be parts of it that have been cached and they will remain online.

Hind paws don't need to be trimmed as often, if ever really. They are used in climbing, so they should be kept a little longer.
I was going to say pretty much the same thing. We only trim back feet like 1 out of 5 front trims. They don't grow as fast I think. But with new kittens and with their claws being so long as to snag the carpet I'm sure the back needed a trim too.
A scratching post is a very good idea. They can't help but scratch so providing the right thing for them will help them a lot. My kitties all really love the cardboard ones! They also like the little tiny mice that rattle as opposed to the ones that don't. They were something along this line.
This is truly their favorite toy. Sometimes when one of the kitties is playing with it Baxter (the biggest cat) will run over an lay on it so they can't play with the ball. It's very amusing. This toy was a complete waste of money.

I love my Directv. My BIL got Dish and I don't like it as well, I didn't think they had the programming selection that Directv has. Did you get Tivo? I don't know how much a month extra it is but for us it's only 7 bucks extra. Well worth it in my opinion.

The co-worker who took my cat told me yesterday that there was a show-down between Zoe and his dog (I didn't know they had a dog). It was Zoe's first time meeting the dog. Well, Zoe (a tiny cat) stared down the dog and stood her ground. The dog put his tail down and walked away. LOLOLOLOL!!! She's home and she's claimed her territory and won't let anyone take it away.

But if it's not connected to blogger anymore, there won't be any more hurtful comments made coming back to me. Of course, I could just turn comments off.

Turning the comments off would be a good start.

Cat Owner Question:
How often do you dump all the liter and fill up the tray with fresh stuff?
When I had Misty, I would use a cat litter scoop and scoop out all the clumped litter at least once and sometimes twice each day.
I would add new litter as needed - a couple times throughout the week.

Not often enough, since it's a job I'm not allowed to do right now. At least once a week, Brian does a complete change. I'd do it twice a week if it were me.

Cats have all the great outdoors to do their poop in.
As it should be.

Bring IN fleas? 
You're not supposed to let them in the house! Cats were created to be outside animals. The world is their litter box.

Catherine --- are you using clumping litter or clay litter??? With clay litter, do a complete change every week. With clumping litter, I'd say 3-4 weeks is sufficient.
Clean them out daily, if not more often.
Do you have more than one litter box?? If you only have one, clean it out frequently since you have multiple cats.

Many people recommend having more than one litter box for multiple cats. Some cats are picky about their litter and will only go if it's theirs only or if there is something in the box already.

We use clay litter (I hate the idea of scooping...eeewwwwww) and it gets changed about every 2-3 days. We buy the cheap clay litter from Walmart and we have one litterbox for both cats. Of course they get to go outside whenever one of us is home, and I think they do some of their business out there. Usually they come inside to use the litterbox, which I find very amusing :P

We have one litter box for three kitties. Thankfully they have never had issues but I've heard some cats do. Catherine, I'd think (though this is just speculation) since all of them are so small that they won't have issues using the same box either. I'd think if they were going to have issues they'd have shown that already.

yep, every cat is different. Blossom demands a fairly clean litterbox, if it's too messy for her taste, she'll pee on anything that's on the floor...paper, plastic bags, clothing...it's certainly keeping us motivated to keep the box up to Princess Lotus Blossom's standards :D
I don't get mad at her when she does that, I get upset with myself. I know she prefers a clean box, and really, who can blame her? If you were a cat and had to use a litterbox, wouldn't you want it to be clean?
I think Kath is right, though...with them being so small, I don't think the box will get too messy quickly...smaller waste, if you know what I mean.
