We have two which I never thought i could handle but it's been a breeze. I cant relate to any of the mentioned problems EXCEPT three tubes of ($70!) flea treatment were wasted. Kept walking away as I was trying to apply!

Although my *cartoon* would be....as soon as we change the litter...That's when they *go*. And we empty it completely daily.

My mother is going to try and train them to use the potty...as she thinks I'm ridiculous for doing that. She's done it for her cat but started when it was young. Ours are about one and two years
old.

I can't stand posting on a phone!!

That's a cute cat pictured. Are they called stripey's? Ours look similar. The younger one has round eyes and will always look like a kitten in the face. Cuuute. Her mother has beautiful almond shaped eyes and is very pretty. Very expressive with her eyes. I swear i grit my teeth when I'm petting them they're so adorable. I feel like I need one of those night guards people wear!

Cats with stripes are tabby cats. There are different types of tabby patterns though. There is classic ( which has a swirl pattern), mackerel ( which is the most common striped pattern), spotted, agouti and ticked tabby. Those are the basic ones, then certain breeds have variations on them. 

 

The cat Echo in the picture appears to be a brown mackerel tabby with white and she looks like she has the inihibitor gene ( which gives a shiny silver to the coat most noticible on the lower legs and feet).

@wagirl

Your Echo reminds me of the Kliban kitties-

May I ask is that a cat leash?  We have a furbaby that loves to be taken outside, but we are afraid she will run off.  Thanks!!
