Latté loves socks that I have worn. Smudge likes her little cubby that I put a used towel in to sleep on.
We've been really lucky with each of the two cats we've had. Neither have minded a litter change (LittleBit will still use her pan even if there is very little left since I don't add to the reusable litter when I'm ready to dump-and-clean the pan), a change in food to the point where I can open a bag of something different and dump it right into the bowl, and being scratched anywhere. Cats don't like having there tummy or tail touched? Pshaw! Not ours.Hope Shreddy doesn't mind the different litter, some cats resent a change.
Taxy, Shreddy makes such a funny "stoner". But he's a cutie in his GlamCat shot. Hope everything goes well for him (and you and Stirling) this coming week.

CG, my dear departed cat, loved her belly rubbed, she would flop down and verbally invite you to rub her tummy. She also like her tail gently tugged. She really was a sweet cuddly kitty I miss her.
I have an internet friend (met her on a forum in 1996) who had a cat who was a terror at the vet. It was next to impossible to treat her, when it was necessary. Of course this was also very upsetting to the cat.
Now, when she gets a new cat or kitten, she starts right away getting them used to stuff. She starts trimming claws, touching tummy and tail. She carries them around and she dresses them in clothing. They don't panic at the vet. They don't panic at wearing the cone. If she ever needs a cat to wear something, they are already used to it.
I think I will make sure that the next cat that comes to live with me gets used to "stuff" too. I will probably even take a new cat for car rides. Poor Shreddy gets so upset about the car ride part of going to and coming home from the vet.
Sure, go ahead and phone CNN.My cats get upset also! Maybe I should think of this.
I would be in desperate need of blood transfusions if I made my cats to wear things!
Taxlady, when NASA finds your glowing mushroom cloud, may I please call CNN? I plan to write books one day and I need the required 15 minutes of fame for which to fall back upon during my career.
With love,

Aww, poor Beagle. I hope she feels better soon.Poor Beagle has been sick all weekend, and still won't eat today. She's sleeping a lot. In an apparent attempt to self-medicate, she ate some Indian corn husks from decorative corn I had in a basket, and was horking them up. I threw them away.
DH took her to the vet this morn, and they couldn't find anything wrong. Not like her at all, she just loves her kibble. She did spot a bunny and tried to give chase when I took her out.
