SILLIES!!!!!!

not caught up but - an announcement -

there is a wee kitteh here, a beautiful grEy tabbey, about 3 months - Lauren found him and brought him by, she is at the store now buying supplies....but - - I don't know what to do!!!!!!!

:(

The kitten just beat up Annie, Annie is terrified, and it's her OWN house, so that worries me. This cat is very mellow and very adorable but....Annie is whining like crazy and taking quite a wide berth around this cat....

the SINGLE PURPOSE of having a cat is for Weezee!! So THEY can be companions!

I just don't know what to do......either send it home w/ Lauren tonight (she'll find another home) or.....wait a bit.......AGH!!!!!!

I wanted a TINY TINY kitteh for Weez - a six- or eight-week old........

GAH! help!!!!!!!!! :unsure:

Cats are territorial, and bond with their space more that anything. The kitten is in a new place, with unfamiliar companions, including a dog. Dogs may be something new altogether. It will take some time for things to settle out.

If you can, place kitty in a room by herself, where you can close the door to keep her safe (as perceived by the kitten). If it is a space where the dog's scent is present, then she can learn to adapt to it. Both critters will come to the door and sniff and become aware of each other, and in due course the door can be opened and things will work out.

This also works when introducing a new cat to a home with existing cats. Been there.

I see Soozie :D She's here.

I've also heard that what Peter said about the kitty and the closed door works. This way, the kitten and Weez can get used to each other slowly. I've seen this work firsthand with cats--my sister has introduced 2 new ones and my son has 4--all brought home at different times.

It can be done, I'm sure of it :)

Hi Suesszy! Sometimes when you are looking for something....that something finds you. I'm hoping this works out to be just what you needed/wanted. And yes, sometimes it takes time and patience, until you suddenly realize you wouldn't trade it for anything :) Good luck, whatever you decide. It's sure to be an adjustment for everyone involved.

Not much psillyness to add tonight. I should be sleeping.....been waiting all day until I could sleep...but am I sleeping now? Nooooo. Had a crappy day <:whineysnivelyface:>

As was said in Gone With The Wind, as the smoke of Tara drifts by.....oh, fiddle ee dee dee, tomorows another day (er somfin like dat)

<------- see new kitteh in av :wub:

thanks Poeter, all excellent advice....I just haven't mixed cats/dogs in so long (since early childhood, when my parents did it) that....I dunno what I'm doing and.....slight panic! :huh:

Susie, are you there?

Here now.....

things are calmer.........the kitteh is SO cute :wub: He fell asleep, purring on my lap....

I am concerned at how agitated the Weez can become - - but things will hopefully calm down.

Also, the kitteh has a very WIDE belly (side-to-side) and - may have worms er' sumfin.....but I think they all do? :unsure: He's very quiet and calm....may be slightly unwell. Goign to the vet tomorrow for mild treatments......

It can be done, I'm sure of it :)

:) Thanks, Padt!

that's so.......poetic Ther-ee-sah!

Bevvy - - so sick :( Hope it's gone soon.........

HI JUDY!!!!!!!!!

Amanda - I'm sorry about your apt. situation! JanetW seemed to have much knowledge of it, unfortunate as it sounds. (HI JANET!)

Forgot what else, going to go back in there and see what's going on.

The wee kitteh got Annie in the face :( in a savage attack earlier.........all is eerily quiet in there now as they sleep near each other in living room..........

:huh:

the stress is......killing me...... :lol:

That was a predictable assertive move by the kitten in the presence of a much larger, unfamiliar, and possibly threatening (to kitty) animal. It is probably a one-time event. Boundaries are being established.

It will work out.

:( I hope so......I can't stand for the Weez to be traumatized in her own home, why does that break my heart so much? <I am a freak>

and.....I am worrying over so many things. More (unwanted) responsibility in a time when I think I can't handle or afford it. and, how will I travel (not that I go often) and, take Weezee and leave the cat? Leave them both? will the cat tear up my house? Will there always be tension between the cat and dog? Why is this cat's belly so fat? What is I fall in love with him and he has a major health problem?

WHY AM I ADDING MORE COMPLICATION TO MY SILLY LITTLE LIFE?????????

:huh:

so much worry - - makes me want to just keep it simple and have only ONE animal, my beloved (and VERY easy) Annie! :wub:

Susie . . . yer kitteh is adorable . . . :wub:

I always tell people that the most stressful time in my life was when we had a dog (who was fairly aggressive) and added a second . . . NOT my wedding, NOT my move to another state, NOT changing jobs :o:huh::P:lol: . For us, it took about 3 weeks, several scuffles and one major battles (to determine who was top dog) and then we were fine. I think it would have taken less time if hubby and I had stayed out of it cuz we keep trying to run interference.

tom . . . fingers crossed that they find you some answers

bev . . . feel better soon . . . you can always buy yerself a new nose if you can't find yer old one.

I think if we had used this method we would have been able to keep our Maine Coon kitten 2 years ago- instead we allowed them to "get to know each other and Lucky would have none of it. We were afraid he was going to hurt the kitten even though he never made attempts. Def. give it a try :)

I don't think there will ever be another cat in our home, Lucky seems to be a 1-cat family. I would love for him to have a friend, I think that would sometimes help his never-ending need for attention. John and I spoil that cat...I am curious of how he will react to the new house.

Yep- 2 more days!!!!!

Morning Sillies-

Very Very Very COLD today...it was 18 on my way into work......More later

Morning, gang!

New KITTEH, Soooooooze! :):wub:

:huh: But.....

Concern over the blending of animal domains... . .. . .

Yep, done it many times in the last ten years, with two dogs and two cats, all of whom came into the home with animals already ruling the roost. Can't remember my strategy, quite possibly because I didn't have one. . . .. ...knowing me, I just figured that each one was smart enough to establish the pecking order quickly and not let things get out of hand or they'd be gone. :lol:

I think Annie will absolutely come around. :)

Guys--I know this is terrible, but I hate training people...its not for me. This person is super nice but all my work is sitting now and I am taking some time off to move...I just got 3 new patients in the last 2 days and I am overwhelmed. Thankfully- I only train one more day but now I know I would not make a good teacher!

Soooz! Iyam in luv wif your Kit-tay! Just beautiful! I'm jealous of the new babies and am living vicariously thru all of you.....and is causing lots of happy-furry-heartmelty memories for me. Until a couple of years ago I ALWAYS had cats and dogs. I was lucky that they all loved each other...ate and slept together, kept each other company. My Ivan took on the role of caretaker of them all. He bathed the babies, cleaned the dogs ears, taught the younger kittehs to climb trees and how to get on the roof. I remember when I had a female dropped off and then had babies. Ivan got them up on the garage roof and then left them there......I think he desperately needed a break from babysitting! :lol: He DID get them down after a while. He was a better mom than the mother was :D

Hope everyone is pheelin' fine and dandy and healthy and giggly today!

Kitteh Kraziness here :huh: Just haven't had a kitten in SOOOOO long, can't even remember!!!

Now, pOeter, what is the best feeding situation? He is eating soft, good canned and moist packet food now, no dry.....what is the best thing, that's still affordable? Obviously I'll keep him gluten-free ;)

Weez just has a panicked whine quite often - - she is terrified of being attacked again, and quite jumpy and disturbed, but wants to sniff and be friends and be hear him, but whines like crazy.......gawd.....exhausting :lol: How long will THAT go on?

sorry I am so self-absorbed :ph34r: Honestly I am not sure I"m ready for this......house could get clawed up and ruined, animal chaos, vet bills :( My job isn't paying me any significant money at this point, we have to wait for grants to come in, mid- to late spring......

:huh:

must look up Nik's curious word - does it mean Tabby Lover? :lol:

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
