What a coincidence. My wife and I (this is Berry Punch's husband) found a tooth in our bed the other day, and were trying to figure it out. Out cats are five and six months old. At first, we thought it was a claw. Do they lose these "milk teeth" throughout their lives, or are they baby teeth?

This is Berry Punch's husband. I was reading an article that debunked the notion that garlic (in small quantities) is harmful to cats and dogs. Apparently, the researchers who had notified the public to the contrary had tested its effects using relatively extreme quantities. Using it as a...

This is Berry Punch's husband. Again. I guess I should just create my own account. Anyway. This is pretty much what I thought: neutering = no testicles. But then we picked up two boys from a local shelter (one's five months, and the other six), and they both have testicles. So now we're just...

This is Berry Punch's husband. Solid Gold, to my knowledge, is respected as one of the early holistic brands. It's definitely better than Nutro.

This is Berry Punch's husband--I work at a pet supply store. One brand I haven't seen mentioned yet is Merrick's new Before Grain cat food. It comes in three varieties: chicken, tuna, and salmon. We're currently feeding our two six-month-olds the chicken formula. The line also has six canned...

The more that I read, the more I begin to feel that I need a veterinary degree to deliver kittens, LOL. My new biggest nightmare scenario is the cord cutting. I'm terrified of doing it wrong and killing the kitten and/or the mom. I must have spent nearly an hour yesterday just trying to make...

I know, my mom has a problem with flash. LOL I hate it, because Jinxsie almost has no face in pictures.

Thank you for all the help, Marianjela. By "getting tired and not wanting to finish the job", do you mean just refusing to take care of the kittens after they're born? I mean, a cat can't just choose to stop pushing and not give birth to the remaining kittens inside her, can she? I don't mean...

Yeah, that's my worry. I know that things most often go smoothly and we silly humans are hardly needed, but there's always that off-chance that something goes wrong and I just want to make sure we're well-educated in what to do in the event that something should happen. I thought it would be...

Charlie, and the whole family

Gizmo

Some newish pictures of my and my mommy's kitties, taken in May (2008, not 1999 like her camera says, lol). Jinxsie and Gizmo turned one year old back in April. I saw the sticky post on image size, but I couldn't find anything on whether or not there's a limit on the number of pictures in one...

Thank you for the link. I really want to take in a pregnant cat, if possible, because I know that they're harder to find foster homes for. Though, my husband is concerned that my favorite kitten won't be his favorite kitten so we'll have to keep two of them, and then when we get our Jinxsie back...

My husband and I are moving into a new apartment at the end of the month. As such, we're considering fostering a cat or two, since we'll have the space to do so, at last. We're trying to decide one way or another whether we'd like to make ourselves eligible to foster a pregnant cat. Our concern...

Oh gee, look, that post has been flagged. Like... nearly every other post someone makes on Craigslist. Man, I hate that place.
