Finally Friday Roll Call

Morning everyone -
Feeling awesome today! Wearing a band tee that I bought almost a year ago that I've never been able to fit in before. Hoorah!
Work today, including lunch out with a co worker.I'm thinking Panera, just need to convince him.
This weekend is filled with random errands and housework. Time to shampoo the carpets again. I love my cats but they are hell on carpet. The little one insists on gourging himself on food, then vomiting somewhere a little bit later. Arrgh!

I hope you all have a great weekend. Have fun at Liz's!

Cherish,

We had a problem with a cat who kept doing that - apparently it's an anxiety thing with some of them when they're in a group and they're afraid that one of the other cats will steal their food.  Our vet recommended feeding him consistently in a separate room, and placing some clean smooth stones in the dish with the food (dry food), which would slow down his eating by forcing him to root around a bit to dig out the pieces of food.  It worked.  And over time, we got rid of the stones, and eventually (a couple of years later) started feeding them all together again.

Kitty psychology is funny!

yeah... easier than human psychology sometimes :-)

Thi**** it on the head. He is the youngest, and smallest. And the other two defintely gang up on him and keep him separate. I think I will defintiley try the rocks thing. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

just make sure the rocks aren't too small.  they should be like normal "river stones" no smaller than about 1/2-3/4" so he won't accidentally scarf them up and break a tooth or anything...

k.

We thought our cat was gourging herself, instead it turns out she has gastro intestinal problems hence the vomiting. She is now on a special kitty food and very rarely vomits but it does still occasionally happen. Much better than before the food change though....

Thanks for the info ida. I am going to give Karen's suggestions a try and if they don't work i will have him checked by the vet.

Hello Trish & PA,

Trish, sounds like you got to that meeting.  Hope it helped get you through.

Today is work till 5 then home to not much.  We have no management here at work today.  A lot of goofing off going on!  Ask Cherish, she'll tell ya! 

This weekend finds me doing the usual cleaning and laundry as well as baking cookies. Every year I make my husband and two kids, that I have left at home, their favorite cookies and we eat them throught the holiday.  This year I told them I am still very happy to make their favs for them but I will hand them their cookies in a container and they must keep them hidden somewhere else other than the kitchen and I don't want to know where.   I don't want to see them or I will want one.  I am one of those people who can NOT have any cookies, brownies, and the like in my house, AT ALL.  The temptation is too much.  My husband just tells me to just not eat it.  Yeah, easy for him to say!  How does he think I got to be well over 200 lbs.!

I know I'll be missing a good cooking class tomorrow.  Take lots of pics!

Hope everyone has a nice afternoon and weekend.
