I don't have pet insurance but on another list it's been a hot topic. It seems that the pet insurance companies find any/every loophole to not pay. they apparently check with you vet periodically and drop coverage for any conditions that were treated stating pre-existing conditions as the...

Solid Gold is a premium quality, human grade food. However, it's lamb based and some cats (mine!!) don't care for lamb. I feed Innova light. Innova regular is higher in protein (a good thing) but my kitties are older and were getting plump on it. Innova is turkey and chicken based. I...

I free feed Innova Light to both my cats (who were both overweight when I adopted them) and they have slimmed down and have beautiful, lustrous coats. I also supplement with a bit of Wysong canned occasionally.

My hubby is not one to take the lead on housework but he will happily take on chores that I suggest. If you've asked and he still won't help out - don't waste any more of your life one him. If you must move home until you can strike out on your own again then do it. You'll be happy you did -...

Truer words were never spoken!! The worst part about helping homeless animals is dealing with the people who are, shall we say, less than kind to them. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but some of the things you hear can really raise your blood pressure. Merry Christmas to...

Thanks Katie. I live about 10 miles northeast of Baltimore City in Baltimore County. I work in the city, tho and love it - always something going on and great place to eat - one of my favorite things to do!!!

For what it's worth, I just added a new cat to my household 4 weeks ago. The first week they were separated. Second week, I left the door ajar and when Barney came out Jane was in full attack mode. Third week Jane moved to Snarl and Spit mode and we have now progressed to the Stare and Glare...

I've been lurking for a few weeks - there's so much great information here and so many nice folks! I am owned by 2 rescue cats. Jane is a 8-9 yo scottish fold mix who's mackeral tabby colored. I've had her 3 years as of December 3rd. Barney is a 5-6 yo grey dsh that I adopted Nov. 13. He...

I just noticed this phenomenon last night when I was petting my newest kitty, BarneyBlue. Funny tho, it didn't happen when I was petting my Janie. I wonder if fur types make a difference..... hmmmmmm
