    I know there are a few threads on this but I can’t find how to clean the acne.

    This is what I use when my cats get a flare-up of chin acne. It works really well - they are usually all cleared up within a week of treating once a day with peroxide.

    Read - seizure of animal food products at a PETCO distribution center.

    Well isn't this just fabulous? I just started buying food at Petco a few weeks ago (because it's a brand that Petsmart doesn't sell). Well, the bag I just bought looked okay to me. Let's hope they clean up their act quickly.

    Do cats eat less in hot weather?

    Yeah, my cats have been eating less too. It didn't occur to me to connect it with the heat, but now that you mention it, that makes sense. Even I get eat less in the warmer months. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and we do have air conditioning, but we keep it set pretty high (80-82) to...

    Is it normal?

    Oh yeah. Mila is a professional back-lying contortionist. I wish I had some pictures of her - she can really turn herself into a pretzel! And she acts like she's soooooo comfortable. Cats are so weird!

    Calcium Oxalate crystals anyone?

    I apologize - I should have been more specific. The vet wants us to use Hill's c/d Multicare, which treats both types of crystals (struvite and oxalate): http://www.hillspet.com/hillspet/pro...45524441783039

    Ugh. My poor Theodore just keeps having one problem after another. I'm at a complete loss now and looking for any advice. Here's a little background... He has had crystals in his urine before (although I never knew what kind before) and was briefly on Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare...

    Question Of The Day - Wednesday, June 11th!

    In an effort to save money and reduce our carbon footprint, we are trying very hard to go without our AC as much as possible. It's on, but it's set at 82 degrees most of the time. We run fans and open windows instead (we live in a very windy part of the country, so we can get a good breeze...

    I was just insulted on a city owned webpage.

    Wow. That is beyond rude. I agree with sarap - when people have complete anonimity, they say the most awful things.

    "Interval Training" -- what's the advantage?

    This is it in a nutshell. In technical terms, interval training, especially high intensity interval training (HIIT) increases your VO2max - it makes your body more efficient at delivering oxygen to working muscles.

    The most difficult and heart breaking decision i've had to make in a long time...

    Oh that is so heartbreaking! I can only imagine how much you must be hurting to have to do this, but it's wonderful that your mom will be able to take her and she will be in a loving, happy home. It really does sound like the best decision for her and for you.
