Got an email back from my friend (I wrote her about notifying the media) turns out this happened about two years go (so she doubts anyone would report on it, haha). I moved from Texas in 2004 and hadn't heard from her since then. She looked me up on MySpace a few weeks ago. WHen we talked on...

Two of my cats had severe reactions to revolution, and in my years as a vet tech, I've repeatedly seen dogs contract fleas while using revolution. If they can't prevent fleas, how do I know it's preventing heartworms? I just don't trust the stuff. "All in one does everything but your taxes"...

Its happening in Lake Dallas, just north of Lewisville, just south of Denton. I don't live in Lewisville anymore, but I will tell my friend what you said about contacting the media.

My friend called me in tears the other day to tell me her cat had gone missing, when they found him he had been cut in half and disembowled. A quick survey of neighbors found three other missing, later found murdered cats. The police came out, but didn't seem too concerned. The SPCA hasn't even...

OMG! I feel so.....betrayed! I've had cats all my life and was told not to give them wet food because that was junk food for cats and it would make them gain weight and have horrible teeth. Well they are fat with bad teeth on a diet of dry only. My dog eats a raw diet, and I tried switching my...

Well, one year later Thurston is still a bully. Last spring he attacked my older cat and beat her up so badly she was in the hospital for a week. (she has since passed away) In the past year my herd has been reduced from five cats to three, from two dogs to one. I am not, and will not introduce...

I am sad to report that after extensive testing it was determined that Tyler had an agressive form of lymphoma. I posted originally in early december, 2005 and by Christmas Tyler had lost an extreme amount of weight and was in pain. We helped him across the bridge December 26, 2005. I still miss...

The Vet thinks it is his thyroid also. We drew a blood panel and should know more on Monday. He also had a bladder infection, so we are treating him for that. Otherwise he looks very healthy. No signs of cancers, and his urine specific gravity indicates that his kidneys are working well. So...

I have an appointment for my cat Tyler tomorrow morning at the vet, but I wondered if any of you had any experience with younger cats developing hyperthyroidism. My 5 year old neutered male cat Tyler has recently (past 6 weeks) had a drastic change in his behavior. Usually aloof and hiding, he...

I'm worried about my cat, Tyler. He is a five year old neutered male tabby cat I've had since he was born. He is indoor only, on flea prevention, current on vaccines, etc. He eats Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken dry cat food. He lives with four other cats and a dog. There have been no major...

My Mocha kitty does that! And if I don't pick her up, she will literally vertical leap up into my arms. She is SERIOUS about her cuddle time.

I have multiple cats but I don't necessarily think that ALL cats needs another feline companion. I have one cat (my oldest) who has never liked the idea of sharing her house with other cats. I have one, that prefers to play with the dog, than the other cats, and still another that I suspect...

Puzzles - Because I was five when I named her, and to me, she looked like a jigsaw puzzle. Mocha - Becuase I went downstairs in search of some chocolate, and came back with a kitty. (sidenote - Her daughter's name is Hazelnut, and one of her son's is named Java-in keeping with the coffee theme)...

Men are pigs. My advice, ditch the roomate and get another cat. Keep them all indoors for a long happy, healthy life. MY deffinition of cruel is allowing your pets to be subject to biting fleas ticks and earmites to make them itchy and miserable, roaming dogs and other cats that could...

Hey There, I've had a few successes with pee-ers like cody. First, the anti-depressants, in my experience, really knocked coda out, but after a few weeks, he seemed to ajust to them, and be back to his old self. Maybe give them some more time, and see if the sleepiness wears off. My vet...
