Oh my gosh ~ Beautiful ! And such a good Mom. I'm so glad you are all the way across the country, because I have just melted seeing them. I do not "need" another cat. I MUST wait one more year. I promised myself that. Each baby gets one full year of being the most special baby. My planned...

Hee-hee, Notice the look of " I give up" in Sophie's face. I was just updating my signature, as I attempt to continue learning my way around here. I have to laugh every time I see this photo. It's the infamous towel trick ! Took a few times before I got it down perfectly though. Glad your...

Hi Kim, This may be totally useless information., but in humans ovarian cysts are extremely common among those of us diagnosed with hyperthyroid later. Much more common than the general population, or I would not bother you with this little tid-bit. So... since they do not know why kitties or...

Hi Lauren, I used this site: http://www.nzymes.com/Articles/cat_s...r_problems.htm for information only, back when I was worried about my kitty. A patch over night does not sound good, so I hope this helps . -Pam L-

Hi Terese, I remember singing that tune back when I got my Sophie. Seems some people don't tell the truth when they are trying to get rid of a kitten. Thus, I got home and found he could not eat solid food by himself. I've got the records here some where *lol* Then came my new baby kitten...

Thank you SO much for getting back to me. I keep thinking about your poor kitty. What great news ! While I know nothing about kitties and antidepressants, I do know what this particular med does to me, and many others, having spent way too much time researching it. Not wanting to become...

So............ somebody has to adjust huh ? I say get a night job Works for me, my nocturnal kitties and hermit crabs. We got it all worked out.

amitriptyline 25 mg. ! ! ! ??? Is that a normal dose for a cat, much less a young one ? I have attempted many times to adjust to amitriptyline , as it is used for chronic pain, though it is an antidepressant. Seems there is some additional affect in the pain pathways in the brain that this...

All symptoms point to hyper thyroid..did they run those labs ? What were the results and the normal range for that lab ? Interestingly, a mild, subclinical case can exist for years with symptoms that can be confused with shyness/ nervousness. Then a companion dies, and the hyper is triggered...

Hi Deb, Yep... That was my guess. I'm the same way when I'm at my home base. The only time I note # of posts is with Newbies and when exploring a new site. I figured the number 10,000 is most worthy of notice though, and I think you need be proud, and not let the moment slip by.

Gosh, I feel so official now. A first siggie and finally no longer a mere kitten. TY again Deb ! I hope you get a prize at that 10,000 posts achievement. We appreciate the help from all of you. Our kitties even more.

I'm with you I struggle sometimes to figure out what the letters are...and get them wrong. Maybe being a human bean is the trouble ?

Sorry to bother you again. I've got it this far, but now I'm not sure if it's going to be OK ?

Thank you Hissy. Guess I'll go see if I can try to fix them...then have you check for me. I picked both very plain lines and just a pointer for them at the ticker site. Thinking that might keep them smaller. I picked blue for my boy kitty and pink for my new baby girl kitten. This way I can...
