Hi. If there are any NE people on the board today who are looking to adopt a beautiful cat, this little one has little time left: If there are any NE people on the board today who might be interested in adopting this little one, her time is almost up: Sylvia is at the pound in Warwick, RI...

Thank you. I moved her to the basement--it just got too cold out on our porch. And she hadn't eaten or eliminated in over 24 hours. Fortunately, the next morning when i went down to check on her, she had used the litter box and had eaten all her food. She's been there for two days now. She...

P.S. I just went out to check on him for the first time today (just got home from work). He's all curled up in the very back of the carrier, with his back to me. I tried to talk to him, even lifted the blanket a bit--he didn't even budge. Do you think he's alright? I would expect SOME kind...

Unfortunately, the earliest appointment I can get at the vet is next Saturday. I am going to call my neighbor this evening, however, and ask him to check around all the nooks and crannies around and under his house to see if he sees any kittens. As I noted, I don't even know whether it's a...

Thank you again. Will definitely keep you posted on my decision.

Well, it's 1:45 a.m. and I don't think I can really go prowling around in the snow with a flashlight in my neighbor's backyard (lol), as much as I'd like to!! I'm beginning to think I should just let him out and continue to feed him and hope he'll be okay. Clearly, he's not leaving the...

Thank you for your response. That's a great idea about searching for the photo. I only came up with one, and all the kittens were attached, so I couldn't tell!! I did see a photo of how to tell the gender from the under-the-tail view. The only thing that gives me pause is the possibility of...

I can't tell if it's a he or a she. If it's a she, her belly is so round, I can't see her nipples. And I think there's no way she'd let me near her. I'm really on the fence with this one!

A beautiful siamese I've been feeding for about 3 months. She (or he?) is now on my back porch, with food, water, and a litterbox. My porch is unheated and it's 6 degrees outside. I washed out a cat carrier, however, and put about three inches of straw in it, covered that with a faux...

Little so-and-so ate the food without tripping the door!!!! It's 6 degrees outside (I live in Boston), so I'm worried. Think he'll be okay? I put an igloo outside, elevated on pallets (to avoid snow), and put lots of straw in their (as per Hissy's excellent advice), but nobody uses it! So...

Sorry. My replies were to the posters who suggested that we have no right to condemn other cultures for brutality against animals when we brutalize them here, as well. Again, we not only have the right, but we have the duty.

So what? We shouldn't speak out against what's happening to the animals in Asia? Please.

It doesn't really matter what the history of America is. Your logic makes no sense. Every culture, at some point in time, has exercised cruelty against animals. We still do it today, in the U.S., on factory farms and fur farms. This is why I am a vegan. Get a copy of Peaceable Kingdom (from...

"CAT CROSSES SIBERIA TO GET HOME:" (12/08/04): "A Russian family has been reunited with their pet cat after it made a 1,300 mile trek across Siberia to get home. The two-year-old male cat called Kuzya ran away from the Efremov family when they took him with them from Olenyok to Yakutsk in...

Hi. One of my neighbors recently experienced the same thing. She put out her pajama top in a box under a bush next to her house. That same evening, she found her kitty in the box. She's pretty sure it was the scent which attracted her. Good luck in finding your kitty. They're almost always...
