Get kitty off the counter by finding what food he cracks out on and leaving that on the floor, or feeding when he removes his ass from the counter. Litterpaws!

I’m amused that you and I have a similar pet structure right now but I love the cats and get annoyed more by the dog.

And Jack, cut that crap out! (A burn enough to cry but not be serious might teach him not to do that again.. let’s hope!)

I’d guess unlikely on the worms, then.

Apparently you can see something in the litter with a tapeworm (rice sized worms, I guess, before they grow) but Steve has never mentioned it since I got pregnant and before I was pregnant I never noticed either. Also, apparently, cats can live quite calmly with a tapeworm, but they will eat more. That said, I never noticed Entropy eating more but she DOES eat rodents… and she is a huge scavenger on the counters, trying to steal what we’re eating. VERY annoying.

roundworm you’d probably notice and the dog could have brought that in because I guess it’s pretty contagious (like, the kids and everyone can get them)… but I’m pretty sure you’d notice those. Vegas had roundworm and holy hell, I NOTICED.

Entropy had (has?) tapeworms. The tapeworm a cat typically gets is not likely to transfer to people, or even dogs, so I was told… I guess the cat is the host. And is likely to be contacted by eating rodents.

Still, worth calling the vet – all that might just be pertinant to where I’m living too, you know? It all seems to change in different areas.

Amber, I’d be shocked if he had worms, because he NEVER goes outside. But the dog does and maybe he brought them in? Don’t they test for that every year at the vet? I don’t know. I’ll call and ask them when they tested last. Stupid cats.

Maybe deworm the cat – if he’s got worms he would start looking for scraps… Probably not likely because I don’t think your cats go out? But maybe?

hee! I love the kids moving the chairs around, but they have been really good about the knives… and my house is REALLY small, we spend all day downstairs and there is only three rooms down here (well, four if you count the laundry room) and I can see basically everything. Even from the bathroom!
