ideas for plants to go with Cat Claw vine
Comments (5)@lazygardens - really? poop. I was prepared for some paint removal, but I was hoping it would behave itself a little better since it's so pretty and so popular in some of the xeriscaping literature I have. as to all your questions - well, I was expecting it to be the PERFECT plant for my situation - and one that would not cause me grief or make me rue the day I planted it! ;-) On the other hand. . . I never thought about just filling the stupid holes with concrete - that might be the cheapest and, probably, smartest solution. My dreams of a charming Mexican-style patio with gorgeous yellow-flowered vines draping graciously (and politely) from the roof were, I'll admit, a bit far-fetched and based on one too many Sunset magazine pictorials. (I'm still not giving in to collections of pink dwarf oleander and yellow lantana. . . not yet, at least) truth hurts, but thank you for the solid advice. concrete is one thing I know I can't kill!...See MoreAny correlation between mosquitos and cats claw?
Comments (4)It may give them a place to congregate, but any dark, damp place would do for that. I'd be more apt to blame neighbors who have allowed water to sit - in old tires, fountains, containers with no tops, overwatered lawns, leaks that pool, etc..... anyone abandon their pool? Left unraked leaves that got wet and stayed that way for a while? That sort of thing. We surprisingly enough haven't had any until the last week - I had wondered if the city had sprayed without me knowing, there were so few. And then, all of a sudden... now they're out in full force!...See MoreCat's claws
Comments (33)All of your stories are wonderful. Your story is sad, Tally. My indoor kitty is presently having a fit because he can smell the stray (Cleo) on me. He'll hiss and growl at me when he smells my pants. It's funny but at the same time it gets me thinking "How in the world is this going to work when he behaves like this and it's only a smell and not yet the other cat 'in person'.... I'm going day by day. Now I just hope I can get her to the clinic on Wed. to get spayed. We have a lot of melting snow and refreezing the next morning. I'm hoping it's all mostly gone so I can get her there bright and early Wed. morning. I don't want to wait another day! I think I'm in for quite a nightmare. We brought in a kitty that was about 5 wks old over last summer. My dd fell in love with it and we figured we'd give it a try. Our vet had a bunch of them at the time so we tried for a week. Our cat became so aggressive that he'd try to bite us. He actually took to my MIL's ankle who was visiting at the time. It got so we couldn't even walk by him without him growling at us! Sunny, our cat, never even saw the kitty... it was just from the smell and the soft meowing from the kitty. We eventually returned the kitty to the vet. We checked often and she was adopted eventually. I think of this and then I think of an actual introduction of Sunny to Cleo and I panick inside. Ok, enough torture for now. I'm going to take it one day at a time! Hay Dios mio!!...See MoreCat claw covers for 2 squabbling cats ?
Comments (9)I'm sorry, but the claw covers aren't going to do anything to help the situation. There may be fewer scratch marks but I would worry more about the biting during a fight. My view, from reading your post, is that Zuzu is the aggressor since she continues to harass Gigi even though she's getting the warning signals from Gigi (hiss & growl) that she wants to be left alone. I'm guessing Zuzu pushed the boundaries even more and Gigi got the worst end of the deal. If you have rooms with doors on the second floor then I suggest keeping one cat up there (with litter box and food/water) while the other cat has freedom in the house. After 1/2 day or all day, I would then put the 'free' cat in a room and release the other cat. I think each cat should NOT stay in the same room during holding time......... let each have their own room and their own littler box during this adjustment period. This give both cats time to adjust to the changes in the house and the scent of a new cat. Ideally, when a new cat is brought into the home of another cat the new cat is kept in a separate room and the cats communicate only thru the door (or bottom of the door). Here's a link that describes basic introduction: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/cat-behavior/introducing-your-cat-new-cat There are no guarantees they will ever get along but starting over with a slower introduction will help with the stress they're under and give them time to adjust to this major change in their lives. Hopefully they both settle down and are able to live in the same house together! Are both cats spayed?...See Morekatrina_ellen
