Those catwalks are awesome...I'll have to look for those! I wonder if she would stop climbing the curtains...
Catlady said:Here is a pic of my Quincy leaping onto Tucker when they were both kittens. The quality is real bad b/c this was scanned from a hard copy photo...this was back in the day before digital cameras were de rigueur.
I love how Tucker has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what is coming.
Russty Cat said:I'm not suprised the cat is walking stiff or groggy. I take Amnitriptilyne every night to help me sleep. Its a low grade anti-depressent that is commonly used as a sleep aid now. Lowering the dosage might help with the drowsiness.

There are some pictures on their website I sent them of Zoey and Saki on them in the customer photo section
I am sure they would be quite simple to make though!
Sicy said:Awwww Bandit is so handsome! I love his markings Congrats!
Wow you just adopted him today and he's already met your other cat You're lucky they're getting along already! Usually you're supposed to introduce them slowly over the course of a week or so.
Russty Cat said:Well we hadn't planned on introducing him so soon to our other cat. But someone opened the back door (aka the kids ) and our other cat, Missy bolted in and started sniffing Bandit. Bandit was so cute and started rubbing his head on her and purring. Missy sniffed him for a few minutes and then went and laid on the couch. I was so glad they got along fine.
Sicy said:cydewaze,
Siamese are known for their excessive loud meowing, I think you are SOL.

BUT...
The newer one, a siamese mix, has started waking me up in the mornings. At first this wasn't a huge deal, but the problem is, she's started waking me up earlier and earlier. Today it was 4:30 and I have a big meeting this afternoon with some important people. I hope I can stay awake.
What happens is this: Sometime in the morning she'll just decide I need to be awake, and she'll start making noise and walking all over me - including on my face. If I put her outside the door, she'll moan at like 80 decibels. I don't want to have to lock her in another bedroom, and even if I did, the moaning is so loud I'd still be able to hear it. The only other option would be to lock her in the downstairs bathrooom with her litterbox and some water, but I don't want to confine her to that small an area. Over the weekend I successfully used earplugs, but I can't do that during the week or I wouldn't be able to hear the alarm.
Basically I've been limited to 4-5 hrs of sleep each night this week, and it's causing me to nod off at my desk in the afternoons. I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas?

I reported the shelter through silent observer.
We're keeping Eden out of the cage, in the cat room. She's taking the meds for now since I suppose we have nothing to lose by trying (although she's been REALLY groggy and walks really stiff). Maybe she will just have to stay in the cat rooms forever, since she doesn't pee on the floor and I've seen her use those litter boxes. At least two rooms are better than a cage.
