Cat

[eek]

OH my! Thats her? How funny!!

Just want to wish you all the best with her. Btw..cats usually enjoy conversations (i think dogs do too). So go ahead and enjoy any kind of random conversation you feel like having with her. If you have any questions or concerns im sure any of us will be more than happy to help with answers. Good luck!

Don't forget, you will need to speak Thai to it. lol Good excuse to learn the language.

So far my cat only knows one phrase: Mai-0w. She's a little confused though because it's clear to me means the exact opposite.

you don't have to buy food, the cats that come around my yard live off of geckos. my dog on the other hand sleeps on plush koala bear skins and eats only the freshest chocolate cakes baht can buy.

Fake I hope?

[Mosha]

I hope he's joking about chocolate.

To the OP

Dogs have owners, cat's have staff. Looks like you are now on the (unpaid) payroll.

Gpdjohn, not too worry that you don't want a cat. This one is one of your former dogs returning to you. It's only his/her karma (or yours ) that s/he returned as a CAT! :D

Ha, good luck with her.

You have now been officially adopted as her human pet

Cats normally are easy low maintenance pets if you can get them into good habits. The main trick with cats is not trying to make them do things for you, but make them think it was their (brilliant) idea in the first place!

Ever wondered why cats, even male, are pretty much always addressed with her or she??? (sorry ladies )...

Regarding food, you can go two ways, either buy proper cat feed, both dry and the cans or sachets, or go for a raw diet.

Just google "raw diet cat" to get more info.

In my opinion both ways are equally good...

You'd be amazed when done properly, how well cats can be trained. I have 9 of them and 8 of them actually use the normal toilet to do their thing. The smallest is a bit young for that.

Now if I can just get them into flushing the toilet instead of trying to scratch pieces of the toilet seat trying to cover up their deed

Yes, as others have said, the behavior you described = her adopting you. (And it is her, only female cats are calico!). The purpose of the rubbing is to (1) put her scent on you thereby marking you as her posession and (2) melt your heart. The books only cite reason #1 but anyone who has owned cats knows that they are highly skilled at the emotional manipulation of human beings.

Congratulations, it is a great honor. BTW, calico cats are belived to be good luck in SE Asia.

Does not sound to me like she is in heat but she will be soon enough so fatten her up a bit and get her to the vet.

Before you know it you'll adore her. Have you named the little angel yet?
