Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I missed the thread, but are we talking about how to keep cats out of certain areas? I found that a remedy that is supposed to keep varmints out of the garden works on cats too. It's a mixture of baby powder and cayenne pepper. I used it to keep them from sleeping right ON the doormat. I accidentally discovered that carpet fresh sprinkle works about the same. I sprinkled some in the litter box and they wouldn't go near it. :-/ Lynn Re: OT - Cats LOL Jan! You sure have that one right! <g> Sylvia Roller M-TEC Student - Session 4-5 gentlsong@...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions about keeping my kitty out of the flower bed. I am going to try the cayenne pepper first. I do have a thick layer of bark, but he just digs down underneath it. That's how I know where he's been. LOL. No mothballs, I promise. BTW, he is an outdoor cat, but we live far off the road, and they never venture down that way, even when we walk down to get the mail. We have a kitty door in the back window of our garage, which is detached from the house, and they have the run of the place. They are quite content not being in the house - especially with my noisy 5YO and 3YO! They are only interested in the house because that is where their food and treats are kept. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Could be either. I raised Tonks for a few years and have shown several. They are sweet and very dingy at times. Happy feet all day long! Tonks are medium all the way around. It's medium 7 times in the standard. There is a pointed gene in your baby somewhere. I have several rescues that have the pointed gene. It's my favorite next to spots! Kate At 03:36 PM 12/21/2004, you wrote: >In a message dated 12/21/2004 2:37:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, >artisticgroom@... writes: > > > Is it a calico?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Siamese are very people dependent cats or at least the ones I have been around. They also can be good watch cats in that if you don';t belong there, they can be quite aggressive to strangers. As in all things though there are exceptions! *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Tonks come in three patterns solid, mink and pointed. The crossed eye is not just seen in the Siamese. It comes with the pointed gene. I have seen cross eyed Hemi's and cross eye Tonks. It is not desired and you will not see them in the show ring. I have a pointed rescue guy that is cross eye as the come. Wow pink and black on the pads, more black the color is seal and more pink then it is chocolate.
