I have three young kids and worry a great deal about what I see on the news about kids and the internet. The childish comments that GS and I were refering to are actually being made by adults. Ones that we got to know before TDK went down. That is so frustrating. I don't see myself as being better than anyone, I guess I just prefer a more casual, adult conversation.<BR/><BR/>BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME THE WRONG WAY!!! I agree with you and think that the way you see things is something for me to learn from. I would never have thought to stop and see some of the conversations in the light that you mentioned. Karen, I thank you for that, for making me see that I need to lighten up and just be happy that there ARE good kids out there! I value what everyone here brings to this site and our conversations. It's nice that we can talk like this!Oscar the Puppy Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597514826409544712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425431.post-1146263993980515902006-04-28T18:39:00.000-04:002006-04-28T18:39:00.000-04:00Never be sorry momsbusy.

(I'm not referring to the demented idiots - I prefer to just ignore them) In addition to some posts which seem childish or silly, I'm sometimes annoyed by all that text slang that kids tend to use, but then I thought about it a little more. These childish posters ARE kids, and that's how they express themselves. As a mother of 3 daughters, I would much rather see them and their friends checking out a site with cute little kittens (and being interested enough to comment, too) instead of going to online chat rooms or posting questionable pictures of themselves on myspace. I do prefer to talk to adults, but I'm going to look at the kids on there as young people with good priorities.

Grr is only 11 months old and looks like she's just going to be a huge cat. I've never had the opportunity to watch kittens grow up to adults, so I didn't have any idea as to when they stop growing. Grr's sister (Midnight) is very sleek and slender. Her brother (Cocoa) is shorter and rounder and just all puffy/fluffy looking. Grr looks like her tummy is bigger than it should be, but she's taller and every part of her (including her head) is just getting bigger and bigger. She is very active though. If she still has a year or more of growing to do...WOW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425431.post-1146254739129940232006-04-28T16:05:00.000-04:002006-04-28T16:05:00.000-04:00I can't get over how amazingly beautiful Gypsy is!...I can't get over how amazingly beautiful Gypsy is!!!

See, my 3 oldest cats are all girls, and we wanted to keep it that way, so when I picked Fievel out, I double checked to make sure it was a girl, and I'm normally pretty good at sexing kittens, even young ones.I could tell Chase was a boy the moment he was born. So, we named her Willow, after my favorite tree. Well, about 5 weeks later, Willow was sitting on my chest, and I notcied something...EEK! Willow is a BOY! so, we quickly thought of a new name,my step son was watching American Tail, and that's how Fievel was named Fievel LOL.

It's amazing to me how young a kitten starts realizing and being scared of humans. My Benji came from a group of ferrals and he was hissing and spitting at 4 weeks old!<BR/>Of course, Benji, being the special kitty he is, started purring at us by the next day.

I've read that cats don't stop growing until they're about two - although they don't grow a lot the second year.<BR/><BR/>Some cats are just meant to be big. I think you can tell a bit by looking at how deep a chest a kitty has, and how broad her shoulders are. Also, some cats are just rounder and cobbier. Just for myself, I love that type.<BR/><BR/>If Grr really needs to be on lower-calorie food, you could ask what your vet thinks of Iams light. Vets have recommended it to me, and my cats have liked it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't see the really objectionable comments on TDK. Perhaps I'm lucky I didn't. I sympathize with the feelings of those who did.

As I said, I'm going to be gone a week.<BR/><BR/>Karen C, Oscar grew steadily for the first five years or so, and I don't mean just his weight, his body just seemed to fill out. He was so long! And then he was so tall! Then he just sort of evened out. He's 8 now and I still see him change from time to time. I don't know if this is how it really works, but it's what I've come to see with him and past cats. So do they stop growing, maybe, but I think they're always changing. He sure looks more mature. He's slowly lost that kitten look over the years and his fur, which was mostly orange as a little guy is getting more white and lighter orange.Oscar the Puppy Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597514826409544712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425431.post-1146250696200568582006-04-28T14:58:00.000-04:002006-04-28T14:58:00.000-04:00although i haven't been visiting the different kit...although i haven't been visiting the different kitty sites very long, i agree that there are some who are very childish in their comments. and some who are not very nice. although TDK has some wonderful pics, i prefer to visit PDJ and KCoTD sites. it is a much more friendly, family type atmosphere. it is so nice to find others that love their four legged children the same as i love mine. after all they are a part of our families. <BR/><BR/>ladies - keep up the great work. if you join in together in a site, i will come everyday and visit. thanks again.momsbusyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901245098111726109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24425431.post-1146249054525825052006-04-28T14:30:00.000-04:002006-04-28T14:30:00.000-04:00Okay then - I'll stop worrying about Grr.

It's more intimate and even when the sites gain new members (yours and hers) it's still more of a family chat. There are the same childish commenters again on TDK and it just doesn't seem like as much fun as it once did. I guess I just got use to this format. I like it better. Don't get me wrong, I love the kittens on TDK but I'm just not as into it as I once was. I was just so shocked that it didn't take that jerk long to notice TDK was back. Anyway, I get a little sad when I think that I'll miss the daily conversations that we have on both of your sites but not so much with TDK. I don't feel like I'll miss anything. DON't get me wrong, I do like TDK, it's just not the same.<BR/><BR/>OK, now that that's out of the way, how much time now?<BR/><BR/>As for chubby kitties. I had a vet once who told me that I was killing Oscar by letting him get to 13 lbs. I felt just awful and so guilty!!! Then we moved and I told my new Vet that I really wasn't a bad parent, I knew he was overweight and that I was trying to get him to lose. This Vet told me that Oscar was healthy and happy. He was obviously active and in no danger at all. He also told me that Oscar weighed 14.5 lbs (at that time, he now weighs 15.5). He said some cats are just big but as long as their attitudes and habits are consistent, then don't worry. We're all good parents, anyone visiting this site and GS's will notice right away how proud we are of our cats and how much we love them. But it is fun to poke fun at the girth and tease about losing the weight.
