Hi--as some of you already know I have two 3 month old Siamese kittens. So far, they haven't attacked electrical cords--too busy chasing each other around-ha! When my Golden was a puppy had PVC tubing put on as much of the exposed electrical cords as possible. As someone also suggested...

Try as I might all I could see were these wierd undulating shapes. I\\could not identify them at all--they seemed so sinister. Gatsbycat

Try as I might, I could make out only these wierd undulating shapes. They were unrelated to anything I had ever seen before and seemed sinister, somehow. What were those shapes? And what did they want? Gatsbycat

Hi, Pamela and Patty---don't know why my earlier posts never appeared here. We--the Golden, The Great GAtsby, the female Siamese kittens, Grushenka and Tatyana and myself are so sorry for your respective losses. Sounds like kidney disease is fairly prevalent in cats. I wonder how much of it is...

As some of you know I got two Siamese kittens a week ago---haven't had any kittens in 15 years. The kittens are almost three months old now--and as different as two critters can be. The lilac point, Grushenka is very active, affectionate and much bigger than her litter sister, Tatyana, who is...

I am so sorry for your loss, Cooie. WEnt through the same thing recently--however, I lost a 15 month old Rottie pup to congenital kidney disease and pyelonephritis with uremic gastritis thrown in...She went downhill just like Sunni--diarrhea, leaking of urine, vomiting, anorexia. She was on IV...

What happened with Tiger and the CRF? I recently lost a 15 month old Rottweiler due to bilateral renal dysplasia, a congenital kidney disease, that plus a kidney infection. She spent the better part of two weeks hooked up to IV. After two weeks of trying to get her to eat, bad diarrhea and...

I also have two Siamese--two females, almost three months old. Since they are littermates, they don't fight--yet. I have the problem of getting them to accept my 2 y/o male Golden retriever. I followed Hissy's advice about the bedding exchange, etc. The kittens will even play in his bedtime...

Hi, Jeannie--that's more Russian than a lot of people are exposed to. Tolstoy is one of my favorite Russian writers. I guess you got Natasha from War and Peace? Actually I never taught Russian--did coursework for MA, but didn't return to write the thesis after the fire. I still read in...

Should be posting a reply rather than a new thread but didn't see a place to do so. Thanks Safron,Jeannie, Valanhb et al. No, Jeannie was not an English teacher, but Russian major as you might guess from the Russian names. Tatyana is the heroine in Pushkin's Evgeny Onegin. Yes, I do like F...

Thanks for the replies, Jeanie and Hissy. Grushenka and Tatyana are progressing in their adaptation. They will now come out and look down at the retriever from the top of the stairs--ready to scurry back into the bedroom should he indicate any sign that he has seen them. They are so very...

Hi--posted earlier that I was waiting for a female Siamese kitten to be fully weaned. I went to pick her up early this afternoon and ended up with two--female lilac point and female chocolate point.They were born on 2/22/02. Also have a 2 y/o Golden, very mellow, trained; however, the kittens...

Hi---as I mentioned on catsite earlier, am getting a Siamese kitten. Someone reneged on a kitten in one litter, so I am picked a tiny little lilac point Siamese last Sunday. She won't be ready to come home for another five weeks, however. How adorable at five weeks. I also have two...

Alas--I knew I should not have started to browse on this particular forum. It brings back my loss of 2/25/99. At that time, fifteen minutes after I had left home for class, a fire broke out in my home--faulty wiring in an automatic Mr. Coffee, by the way. My 12 and 1/2 year old Siamese, TWit...
