I've been trying to take a pic of my Bonnie's black whiskers for you because you said all cat's whiskers are white. I can't get the right exposure.

She still had a solid-black fur coat (not a single white hair) up to the time when she died at age 18.5. Her whispers were all black, and so was her nose and the pads of her feet. Now I have Nikki. She is almost the same except for one very small area where there are a few white hairs. MaryL |

They really are "cool people" and extremely low maintenance compared to other pets. |

I wasn't me who said all cats have white whiskers. I named that feral cat White Whiskers because his are so prominent, mostly refered to as Whiskers. He's the largest feral that comes around to eat, he has to weigh well over 30 pounds and is solid muscle, which is very evident rippling as he strolls across my yard. However he is shy, he comes to eat when the other cats aren't around. Whiskers comes by most days but only stays long enough to eat... he arrives in the middle of the day, not during regular feeding times; 5 AM & 6 PM. I have food out all day for any visiters but it all comes in about 10 PM, so as not to attract skunks, possums, and other nocturnal scavengers. |

She was pretty quiet for a while but now she's more talkative. One thing is certain, when she wants me to wake up in the morning (feed me!) she meows next to my face. She also gives me little kisses on my temple and at the outer corner of my eye. Sweet, but not at 6AM! Persia used to gently tap my nose to wake me up. Purr in my ear. She was not a meowing alarm clock like Buffy! It took some getting used to! Thing is, I generally just mumble, "uh-uh, wheesht, it's not time yet". I roll over and ignore her. I usually get to go back to sleep. Then again, Buffy can be a bit of a watch-cat and very vocal. She lets me know if she hears someone approaching the front door. She'll meow, jump down and trot in that direction. She's usually correct (some contractor I was expecting). Sometimes she sticks around to see who it is, other times she just meows and skeedaddles and leaves me to the potential serial killer. (laugh) Sometimes if she's half-snoozing and hears a doorbell on TV that sounds like mine, she startles. Like, uh oh, did she miss someting? Is someone here? I pat her and say, "It's on TV". :-D Jill |

Scarlett seems similar to Persia because she'll sit on top of me, or knead me (with claws out) and just overall be a big wiggle worm on me trying to wake me up to feed her. She used to just touch her whiskers to my face but lately I've had insomnia and not sleeping well during real sleeping hours so when those things don't work she'll give up. Yesterday they didn't get breakfast until 2pm because for the 3rd day in a row I was still awake when the sun was coming up. I've been off from work this week so didn't have to get up at the normal time. I'd rather that I did, though. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

Thee is a protein in their saliva that affects you. The easiest way to cat proof your dwelling is to regularly "wash" surfaces where cats are present with a dilute tannic acid solution. Some people use it in a fine mist sprayer on their upholstered furniture as well. It works like a charm. A 3-5% solution of tannic acid works on cat and dust mite allergies. |

Too late for me though because I now have dogs and the one I have at the moment is terrified of cats. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

She was really calm about it. When I said "It's not time yet" she'd curl up next to me and wait about 10 minutes. Then she'd tap my nose again. Sometimes if I said the magic phrase a second time I'd get another 10 minutes. I'm sorry you're not sleeping well. Insomnia sucks. BTDT. I'd rather get up on a regular schedule, too. But hey, if your body needs sleep and you don't have to be anywhere... do what your body tells you. Feel better! Jill |

Used to be for early am surfing but now it's just because I love to get up before the sun does. Nice time of day. By 6am, I either leave for work or I'll go the grocery store...just to get out a bit and my one grocery store is the only one that opens that early. Taking care of Mia at the end had me getting up every 2 hours all night, taking care of her, then I was all awake and couldn't just go back to sleep. Maybe for an hour, then it was Mia time again. I did this for months and I'm still in that sleep pattern...waking up every 2 hours or so and living on cat naps. Luckily, I get by nicely on only about 5 hours sleep each night. I actually do like this hit and miss sleep pattern. I get to read for a bit each time I wake up and that's a good thing here. :-D |

I got up for many years at 4:00 A.M. for work, now...I really don't need to be up, but I'm mostly up by 4:30, do the morning chores, grocery shop at 6:00 or so, luckily there are more than one supermarkets here that open early. Usually not many people out at that time, today being the exception, Safeway had a long line and only one checker working at 6:30, and Lowe's had 3 people returning things, pretty unusual for this town.
