My cat, Purrdina, loves to lick the ink off of photographs. She has done this since she was a kitten. She is now a healthy, slender, 10 year old cat. I have to guard the printer when printing pictures. There is something she loves about the photo paper and the photo ink.

Purrdina is truly beautiful. I used to read a series
of cat books, "THE CAT WHO..... " by Lilian Braun
and there was one cat who did that and it was just
This is Mr. Drac. Hes 13 and loves to perch or sleep on the satelite box! We assume cause its warm! otherwise he is sleeping in the front room on a cat rug I crocheted next to the kerosene heater. He too is very slender and very healthy. I think its in the genes! Hello to Purrdina.

You should read the Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun. One of the main characters is a cat that does the same thing.
MY CAT DOES THE SAME THING. BUT THEN HE GETS REALLY INTO IT, NOT ONLY LICKING..............HE STARTS BITTING THE PICTURES. IF I DONT CATCH HIME IN TIME HE MAKES A PERFECT BORDER OF BITE MARKS AROUND THE WHOLE PHOTO!!!
Nicolas got his shots each year; last October he was seen by Dr. McKenzie at
www.Adobe-Animal.com who said he could not groom his bottom due to obesity. Nicolas began acting differently this last year at the age five he started to knead everyone thought this was cute and very normal. He stopped waking Granny up in the middle of the night for treats and began sleeping more. He began putting his head down on the carpet and we thought it was because he was hot from the apartment or because I was working and attending school too much. He started to act like he could not get comfortable at night by tossing and turning and sometimes meowing. Nicolas watched Granny who has MS during the day and she watched him. I told this to Dr. Rogers in July when she saw Nicolas for tapeworm. She said he was overweight and eating Fancy Feast was like humans eating twinkies all five vets I took Nicolas to mentioned his weight! On August 9th at 1:30am we took him to the Emergency clinic in Campbell and the tech. said "oh he looks fine" "just getting older" "different personality..." They even told me to take him home, you dont need to pay $95 for the emergency fee -- and how great Nicolas looked!! (earlier in the summer I tried to take Nicolas here and was told it was for emergencies only). This night we insisted a doctor check him and they ran x-rays and blood work on August 9th and it took Dr. Rogers and Adobe 3 days to call us backall blood work normal and normal until the end. I took him to Sunnyvale Veterinary, www.sunnyvalevet.com On August 11th, x-rays, more blood work they said full anal glands! August 13th: Nicolas could not walk and put on Adequan injections for "arthritis" and given a second 10-day's worth of Clavamox for his fever. (fever since August 8th)....Nicolas received Adequan injections every 4 days for "arthritis" -- yet he still could not use his right back leg at all -- severe lameness.....By September 2: not eating any "twinkies" -- Fancy Feast or drinking Cat Sip and not moving around at all. This was good everyone told me; let him rest and heal arthritis. I saw Dr. Shapiro/Stanford Vet. That answered my question "what is the worst thing it could be?" "A tumor!" He told me to go to VMS/VSA, www.vmsmedicine.com in San Mateo -- that they were internists/surgeons and that they could no longer help me at Stanford Veterinary I took Nicolas to VMS on Sept 4th, his knee was drained and sent home with Prednisone and bed rest the Orthopedic and Oncologist said he pulled something in his knee.
Amy,
So very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you did everything you could. Unfortunately the vets couldn't have figured out it was cancer earlier.
My 15 year old "Whitey" loved to play with plastic. Unfortunately he swallowed a piece. It was from a wrapper made in China. I took him straight to the vet where he passed the plastic. It was so toxic with chemicals that it killed him. I won't let my new cat chew on anything not designed for a cat to chew on.
