Teri and I are balanced so you and Wayne need one more cat each to be balanced. So right now you're unbalanced and people that are unbalanced are crazy.

All I can see on my puny little screen is eyes, Frenchy!

But he has very lovely eyes!

Garcon and Monsieur sound good to me, too! Very dignified! Course in English that would be Boy and Mister, wouldn't it...so maybe it doesn't sound quite as dignified to a French-speaker as it does to an Anglo!

Hey, and what's all this talk about crazy hazel! You'll hurt madame hazel's feelings--she's actually the crazy one. The rest of us are sorta normal Thank dog Amazing Grace will be here on Saturday to even us out so I meet rainbow's criteria for sanity

Oh I do visit him , I left a babygate outside of the door , just in case he would think about escaping his prison when I go in and out, I left the door just a bit open when I was there , Nelly saw him , he saw her , he got a bit spooked (you know when their fur stands up on their back) and Nelly got scared and backed up ! Big mean dog

Lettin the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin it back in.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't gonna happen anyway.

Minou is a sweet name,I asked hubby(being from France)he suggested Toulouse,like in Toulouse Lautrec or Napoleon
Hubbies name is Alain-Pierre,he'd also agree with Pierre
He just suggested Voyou,which means something like a street-kid,or how about Matou (tom-cat)...all sound french to me

Quel désastre. I actually gave Goose a bath (which as you know, I don't do often) in preparation for Frenchy's visit, and he was looking very fluffy. And then the wretch just whipped by me in the confusion. Frenchy was so patient, while I rattled cans and gave my falsetto whoop, promising the moon, but nothing worked .
Thanks Frenchy, I know Garcon will be one happy fellow with you. If not, I do returns and exchanges .

No returns needed. Altough I wasn't able to give him his pill this morning , I will try as soon as my hand stops bleeding I hope he still loves me :sad: he was on his little chair again , on the comforter and was pushing his face on mine he's very affectionate. Eats / poops and pees ok.

Hey Frenchy! Try holding him in your arms like a baby and with the other hand drop the pill in the mouth....If you gently tap his nose he will swallow...Hold him for a minute and he should be okay..Some cats are really hard to pill! Hence the bleeding hand!

O dear. You could try opening the capsule and putting it in something smelly and delicious, although apparently it tastes really bad.
I generally had him in my arms, all cosy, with the loaded gadget in my left hand (I am left-handed, some say brain damaged ) and then, when he is relaxed, grab his head, opening his mouth with your fingers at the same time (from the side, not as risky), put the gadget as far back in his throat as possible, releasing the pill, then close his little muzzle and hold it closed until he swallows.
Easier said than done, I know .

I put Rockys pill in a teaspoon of canned food,watch to make sure he finishes it,then he gets the rest of the food.
With Rocky it's easy,cause he still acts as if has not eaten for a week,due to his Hyper Thyroidism,but maybe this little guy is not as ravenous like Rocky always is.

Nelly and Sam and Bailey will kiss your owee and make it feel better, Frenchy --and then maybe Mr le chat can have a serious discussion with the newbie about taking his meds without hurting mummy!

Silly minou! He'll catch on. Right now he's just nervous cuz he thinks he's been catnapped by a bunch of big dogs!
