    Is this kitten feral?

    you are so in love, and i'm so sorry you can't keep her!!! good luck with everything in kittenland. i completely understand how easy it is to unexpectedly fall for a stray little furry one. one minute everythings cool, and the next you're up all night posting on the cat site?!?! yeah, i know...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    just wanted to drop in to thank all for their support. sweet sir barton is sans testicles, and has been for 8 days. woohoo!! i would have posted sooner, but the night before his big operation (as he was not allowed any food) he chose to snack on the power cord to my laptop. oh yes!! clearly, it...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    Yes, the wine helped. (did anyone think it wouldn't? c'mon...) And thank you for your concern. It is delightful that so many are sympathetic to my plight, and that my plight can bring so many smiles! No, I did not lose my temper with any children, I'm chilled out after a long night of venting...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    i know, i know...i'm not going to "sedate" my cat. i have a soul, i won't try that, it was just a cry of desperation. pants, however, i have never heard of such a thing! stud pants...alright. i'm on it. thank you. and as for sleep...well, i think wer'e both tired, and one of us is going to win...

    Kackling...

    my new kitty just yowls for now, but our other kitty does it, we call it chirupping. it's precious, and yeah, it's normal. if you were your cat, wouldn't you do the same? try it...without sounding like a dolphin...go ahead...

    Can I Give My Cat A Bath?

    yes, waterless shampoos work great...after all (i'm a new cat owner speaking as one who has...well, actually, i've had many cats, just not voluntarily). If you are wanting a more traditional bath, one involving water, then a pillowcase will save you both. really, don't think it's cruel, if you...

    OMG!!! NOOOOOOO - I Have Fleas!

    aaahhhh!!! i know the feeling...you see one and all the sudden everything, really, i mean everything itches. use the flea bath, use some flea stuff that i can't currently name, but a powder, on your carpet, wash your bedding, and get some frontline. that should put you at ease. that is the one...

    Oh, Penny...you should hear the story about when I spent my entire student aid check on surgery for my dog. And we do it because animals are the only people who piss us off without meaning to. And we know it. And that's a beautiful thing.

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    Gotcha. Didn't get me nearly as badly as our introductory flea bath did...but I'm a good girl with antiseptics and all that. I've worked in environments which teach a person fast... my glove box actually contains a box of gloves. I hear that cat-scratch fever is not nearly as fun as Ted Nugent...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    Once again, thank you. And yes, I think this may be a good thing for me...it is totally rationalizing my consumption of cheap wine, and you're right!! It's all around beneficial. Actually, since I'm so distracted by my sweet kitty fluffkins, I'm really not worried about other trivial things at...

    Thank you, thank you. I will go back to walmart, (ah, walmart, the epitomy of a love hate relationship...ever been in a walmart supercenter?? it has it's own climate, and it's frightening) and get the detergent, possibly a crate...although I am more than willing to clean out my closet and use...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    Thanks Julia...I know all of these things are what I will ultimately need, although I had not heard of the diffuser. I will definately get one. And yeah, my heart is bigger than my budget, but what can ya do? I guess for tonight I'll get some wine...liquor stores closed...god that's horrible. It...

    Before i castrate the cat myself...HELP!!!

    Ok, that should at least get someone to read this. A week ago during a bout of temporary insanity, I took in a stray cat. (The temporary insanity plea has been submitted to save me from any lectures about my inability to consider consequence) He was pathetic!! Skinny, cut up, scarred up...
