Re: help please for my moms 21 year old cat . . So sad
this is very sad - Molly isn't going to be around much longer, even if she gets over her current problems will your Dad take to another cat quite quickly? if so, I should start looking for a suitable older puss now, so you can get him involved as soon after Molly's passing as he will be able to cope...

Re: My Ragdoll x Russian Blue
she certainly looks like a long-haired Russian in that photo
I hope for your sake she has the laid-back attitude of one too - I have had my Trigger 13 years and he has never bitten or scratched me, even when a kitten, and is a total - well, pussycat! - at the vets

Re: Poor cat is locked inside a garage :(
you'll need to be sure she's in when they shut their garage for the last time before setting sail
I don't like cats going into garages though, because of the threat of them getting to some anti-freeze - perhaps you could ask this couple to make sure any they have is totally inaccessible

Re: My Ragdoll x Russian Blue
Russians are tall cats, with long legs and slim long bodies - mine is a bag of bones but still weighs 4.7k
so add in the fur and solidity of a Ragdoll and I reckon you are going to need a heck of a strong carrier quite soon

have you tried laying down puppy pads or newspaper direct on the floor? what about sand in a plastic crate, with part of a side cut down to allow easy access? most cats love digging in sand, as many a builder has discovered
