Slappie 9 #27 May 1, 2002 QuoteShe's a tiny little thing, only weighs 7 pounds, but she inhales her food. OMG! that cats a snack!! I have a Tom that weighs in at 22lbs. He makes 3 of your kitties!! Try cleaning up when he pukes. He's a long hair and can't seem to understand by grooming himself he causes himself to choke and cough up huge hair balls.

He's a long hair and can't seem to understand by grooming himself he causes himself to choke and cough up huge hair balls. My cat is 6 years old, but she was really sick when i got her at 8 weeks and that probably affected her growth. She has short hair so she's not coughing up hairballs. The food is still intact when it comes back up. She literally swallows it without chewing. I have to feed her dry food cause she refuses soft food. I talked to the vet but he didn't help at all. She's always been this way. I've tried training her to puke in the litter box, but that didn't go well. She's my princess so i guess i'll just deal with it and continue cleaning cat puke everyday.

ChromeBoy 0 #32 May 1, 2002 Get the cat stoned Sunshine and I bet she will eat wet food and it will also help with naseau! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #33 May 1, 2002 Quoteit will also help with naseau!Hmmmm.....have you tried sprinkling some ginger in with the food. I use it for motion sickness and I have several co-workers who used it for morning sickness. Works like a charm I can even fly up at the front of a hot stuffy king air now without feeling like I'm going to puke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coconutmonkey 0 #34 May 1, 2002 Sunshine, try limiting her intake. She's overeating (because it's there) and then when the dry food expands in her belly... oops, just like a skydiver at 8000ft, too much volume, not enough capacity, somethings got to give...

mattwhoo 0 #35 May 1, 2002 I wonder what kind of wing loading would be good for a cat??? According to my caculations a 28" pilot chute has a surface area of about 4.2 sq feet. Now for the sake of argument lets say the average full grown cat is about 16 pounds(Just a guess) 16/4.2 = 3.8 wing loading. Now I'm assuming that this kitty is a noob when it comes to skydiving so I'm guessing a cross braced highly loaded pilot chute is out of the question. That and cats don't really like swooping the pond all that much. So I'm guessing maybe a larger drogue chute from a tandem rig may work best or a posable 2 pilot chute system might work. Man I'm bored!!Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #36 May 1, 2002 I think the cats are going to need some tunnel time first so they can also turn some points on the way down.quadehttp://futurecam.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coconutmonkey 0 #37 May 1, 2002 Yeah! That's it! Don't turn it on until you've lured it out onto the net then 'poof'! No clinging fur-ball problem (yeah, it might cling to the net for a bit, just turn up the RPMs). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
