Cocoa is around 1 year old and she is an indoor/outdoor cat, but we have a Petsafe electronic cat fence. The wire goes around my backyard chainlink fence. Cocoa stays in an enclosure on the back patio at night (unless its cold, then the dogs come in the garage and Cocoa sleeps in my bathroom...

Domino is cute...or Samson. I like Bosco. Hmmm...Elroy...lol. Frankie...Georgio...Hank...Max...Oscar...Titus...Valentino...Zeke...

Actually about 20% of patients with rheuamatoid arthritis have a negative rheumatoid factor. Also, if the rheumatoid factor is negative, they are likely to have a less aggressive disease. Wings, I wouldn't worry too much about having fluid drawn off a joint. Unless your diagnosis is in...

Hmmm....Mariposa....means butterfly. That sort of looks like a butterfly on her nose. I thought about naming my cat Ezmerelda. I'm not sure why. Gabby, Isabelle, Julip (the name of a local resturant here), Kaarlon (name of a local cat rescuer), Lucy (Lucygoosey or Lucinda), Rosalita...

You should all come down and visit Mississippi...in August!

We had a possum that would come up and eat cat food off the back patio years ago. It shocked us at first, but then we just got used to him....hey, look, the possum's back. LOL...he was kind of cute...in an odd sort of way.

I've been trying to introduce my new kitten to my two dogs. She's been sleeping in an enclosure in the same area as the dogs. At first the terrior was very interested, wanting to get right up in the cats face and the cat hissed, growled, and arched her back (all 2.5 pounds off her). The big...

Here is my beautiful boy Jake. He is supposedly half doberman/half rottweiler. I adopted him from a vets office around 7 years ago. He had been dropped as a puppy and suffered a broken leg. Then he had the red mange. And when I met him he was around 10 weeks old and had been living in a little...

I was wondering why kittens always seem to want to sleep around your neck. My new kitten would not lie down and rest in my lap, she had to be right under my chin. I moved her several times and she always came back to the same place. Right under my chin...my allergies don't have a chance...

All three babies...

My new baby, Cocoa.

Yes, I think her momma was trying to keep them all safe. BTW, we have found out, she can meow. And she is also highly intelligent. She did not make a peep from her old house to our house. When I got her home, I sat the carrier down in the floor and left the door open. She eventually wandered...

I've never heard of a boarding place that has 24 hour supervision, but perhaps some of them do. I think that either boarding or keeping them at home in the two rooms would be ok. I boarded my previous cat, Moe Kitty, at our local vets office on occasion and they adored him. Of course, Moe was...

Actually, the other one (a girl) and the brother (a boy kitty) may have found a home with a young woman that moved into their neighborhood. And the momma -Miss Zeola, originally a stray, may stay with the elderly lady she's befriended (by having her kittens on top of the lady's green house)...

Cocoa is the Tortie. She'll be coming home Tuesday.
