That's my fear - too much time in the garage. Right now I'm taking a wait and see attitude. If I have to move faster I'd probably get a Toyota Corolla or Ford Focus.

A question for our European members - does anyone have a Fiat 500? If so do you like it? I'm thinking about buying one when they come to the US in the Spring. The official Fiat dealerships have not opened yet so there's no way I can test drive one until then. Maureen

My black DSH Buddy passed away peacefully last night. He was only 6, and I only had him for 4 months. Almost 3 weeks ago I discovered a lump on his chest. I took him into the vet who sent a sample off to cytology. It came back for a high chance of fibrosarcoma. He then developed another large...

I brought Buddy to the vet and he did a needle aspiration. The cytology report came back - high likelihood of fibrosarcoma. I'm taking him back for x-rays on Friday to see if it has spread and to rule out a couple of other possibilites before I consider surgery. I've only had him for 4 months...

He's 6, and I've only had him since June. He sleeps at the end of my bed and I'm thinking perhaps I kicked him by mistake getting out of bed this morning. It just feels like extra or loose skin under there, not a specific hard bump. I have to call the vet tomorrow to reorder medicine for one of...

I just looked at my Buddy tonight and one side of his chest looked bigger. I touched him and picked him up and he did not react in pain. His fur is in place (no skin breaking through) and he's not licking or poking at it. Could it just be he got bruised playing with the other cat? I've never...

Bob - a stray who fell in with ferals and was rescued by someone my father dealt with at work. I was told I was getting a cat, and no one had any idea of sex, size or color. He's a big grey love bug who turned out to be asthmatic. He's named after the man who rescued him. Freckles (RB) - one...

Love the Momma cat! I recently adopted a black cat, in part because I knew he didn't stand much of a chance in a shelter. I don't understand why people get so hung up over coat color. Buddy sheds, but so do my other cats. Same amount of maintenance!

I'm usually like this with TV shows (especially The Simpsons and Mystery Science Theater 3000) but the one movie I quote is Back To School.

My 1996 Chevy Caprice is The Behemoth because of it's sheer size. An actual full-size sedan that seats 6. It's like driving a sofa. AddieBee mentions her mom's Caprice not having a scratch after an accident - I agree they are built like tanks. And to think I would like to trade it in for a Mini...

Chloe and Fera are Siamese mixes so they talk a lot. Chloe is usually the one I can have a kitty conversation with, but often Fera will drop in. I usually refer to this as the "meow chorus". I can't get any of my boys to respond.

Unfortunately for me Bickford isn't treat motivated. He's also the biggest drama king I've ever seen. I was mixing the miralax into wet food before - maybe I'll just put it on the top and see what happens tonight. The vet recommended the liquid Cisapride because it would be easier to adjust the...
