  • How should I go about watching Doctor Who?
    N1125488266_8758_small

    A lot of people think Tom Baker is the greatest Doctor of all time. He's pretty much the only Doctor I really like. Baker performed the role from 1974 to 1981. If I were you, I would watch some of the Tom Baker episodes, then skip to David Tennant which starts in 2006 I believe? Sorry, but Christopher Eccelston (Tennant's predecessor) gives me the creeps. haha.

    Good idea! I didn't like Five Easy Pieces, but I have a feeling I'll feel differently about some of the others. What I have seen of The Last Picture Show was captivating.

    Ooh, I like Fellini, and I don't think I've seen that one!

    Can't say I disagree with you there! I love Kurosawa!

    I assume your cat lashed out during the exam before she was going to get her teeth cleaned under anesthesia? Honestly, that vet might be kind of a jerk. People can't predict how their cats are going to act at the vet, and for him to be angry at you for something your cat did is ridiculous.

  • Can you recommend a professional groomer for a rescue cat with issues?
    N1125488266_8758_small

    First of all, I commend you for adopting! Have you taken her to the vet? If she is the kind of cat that is paralyzed by fear at the vet's office, chances are she'll do fine with any groomer. They will trim nails at the vet and might brush if you ask, but chances are they will charge you like 20 dollars for the nail trim. Ridiculous, but true in mine and others' experiences.

    It may not be that your cat has issues but just simply hates to be brushed. It's something she's not used to and most kitties aren't terribly fond of having their bodies touched in ways they're not accustomed to. You might have to try to get her used to the brush slowly, like doing one stroke with the brush and then giving her some pets and/or a treat so she associates brushing with positive things. You could also try different types of brushes. The Zoom Groom, a cat-shaped rubber brush, is a popular choice for short-haired cats.

    Unfortunately I don't have a groomer or know of any, but if you can find a groomer with a good reputation in general, you could try calling and describing what's going on with your cat and ask them if they are okay with taking that on. I think any groomer worth his or her salt should be able to handle an animal that doesn't like to be groomed--I would guess that (with cats at least) the majority of their furry clients aren't too thrilled about the whole thing.

    Good luck!

    What are your favorite Criterion Collection films?

    Fair enough. I also believe that a cat's personality is partially genetically hardwired. I got a cat who was calm and friendly as a kitten who grew up to be afraid of her own shadow. Other people I have talked to have had similar experiences. I don't think we did anything wrong in raising them. People think they can mold a kitten's personality to what they want it to be and it's just not true. So I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

    My comment was not meant as an offense to you; I'm sure you give her plenty of love and attention and that she loves you in return. However, young cats tend to have endless energy and can get bored when left alone all day. This is why it can sometimes be a good idea to adopt two cats instead of just one. Young cats can take out some of their excess energy and need for social interaction by playing with each other. If your cat had another cat to play with it might not display the needy behaviors you describe. That's all I was trying to say...

  • So i got a kitten way back in september, shes about 9 mnths old. She follows me everywhere, i was wondering if that is normal?
    N1125488266_8758_small

    It sounds like she is bored. I know it isn't possible for everyone to adopt two pets, but if you can swing it I would recommend getting another young cat or kitten. Cats bond and entertain each other in ways that people just can't match.
