Kathryn~ congratulations, you must be so excited! I know Kitten chow sounds so declasse, but I have 2 cats who are now, 14 yrs old and they've only eaten kitten chow and Purina Cat chow and Friskies canned food (they get 1/2 can each in the morning and I free feed the dry food) all their lives.

I decided awhile ago to try to give them something more "healthy" since they're getting older (although, you'd NEVER know how old they are; they don't act it at all), but when I try even mixing new stuff in their dry food, they upchuck it, so I'm giving up. They're very healthy (they NEVER go to the vet and they're inside 100% of the time) and have never had any health issues. I also feed them different 'treats' in the evenings. Even though they're inside with not much exercise, neither of them is the least bit overweight.

Cute names too; you're stuck on the "P" names aren't you?

Kathryn_V · 04-23-2008, 12:33 PM

I guess I am stuck on the P's LOL I never noticed... To funny!

I just got a call from the airlines.... The flight has been delayed... The conecting flight for the girls is delayed due to a HEART ATTACK! They had to have an emg landing and it set that flight back 2 hours... Not that I blame them... you gotta touch down for something like that! Yikes... poor guy!

Thankfully the girls had not left yet and could be rerouted and will not be traveling any longer than need be, but will be spending an extra two hours at the airport with their old mommy....

Talk about a LONG goodbye... And a long day for the girls!

The cargo station closes at 10:30... the girls arrive at 10:35, LOL so they have arranged a van to meet the plane and shuttle the girls over quickly! Nice! since it normally takes 45 mins to get cargo animals over at this airport... Eeryone has been called and made awar that the late arrival is coming and I just need to be there before they close so I am not locked out...

Poor babies... I just HATE shipping! The cost of a ticket was 3times the cost of shipping and I could only fly ONE of them back with me....

Or I would have flown out myself and picked them up! A comfy ride in cabin would have been nice

Well.... they will be sleeping all snuggled up in bed with me before you know it! If pixie dosent throw a fit that is!

KathyinCali · 04-23-2008, 12:43 PM

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing pictures

Nikki+2 · 04-23-2008, 02:21 PM

Well darn, I was hoping for pictures by now. I bet you are going crazy with excitement! I know absolutley nothing about cat food but my mom feeds her kittys Nutro (not sure if it's Max or Natural though). The names are adorable.

jp4m2 · 04-23-2008, 02:31 PM

Congratulations on your two new additions!....The names are precious!....Can't wait to see pics!

I feed my two cats Royal Canin, Authority and Chicken Soup.....the R/C gets pricey though....When I'm in a pinch and I'm at the grocery I buy Purina One Chicken and Rice.....and wouldn't you know it's the Purina One that they go for the best....go figure....

I buy the Wysong Uretic (sp?) for my cat. It might just help her UTI if a certain DOG would quit eating it!!!

Congratulations on your kitties...I feed mine Chicken Soup for cats...The red die in the cheap food sometimes makes them itch and I was told it could hurt there kidneys, but not from a vet, I know mine use to throw up alot when I feed them the cheap food with red color.

tobysmom328 · 04-23-2008, 02:56 PM

We feed Toby (my siamese) science diet, he seems to love it. he also has a nice litter box with a ramp up one side, i'm sure it wouldn't stop Pixie tho.. It keeps the smell in there and is pretty nice. A litter locker is nice to have too. You scoop the litter and put it in the top of the container and turn the handle and the bag locks the potties in there and keeps it smelling clean too. there are replaceable carterages.

good luck! looking forward to pictures!

altigger74 · 04-23-2008, 03:15 PM

Congrats! I love those hairless beauties! My only advise would be that they can climb EVERYTHING! If you have long curtains, tie them up. If you have blinds, tie up the strings and leave then open a bit or they will climb through the blinds to look out the window (have a couple of broken slats on some of my blinds) Cats are supposed to be graceful, NOT! If they climb it and there is something on it, it will be on the floor. The cat might not but everything else will be lol. Get a laser light. They LOVE laser lights, the dogs do too and they can all play together. I tried a litter box that they jump into from the top and Gracie got stuck in it. she wanted in it and jumped in with her head and front paws inside and her butt stuck in the air. I just moved the litter box into a room and put a baby gate up so the cat can get in and out but the dogs don't.
