Wow, so many posts! Thank you so much for all the suggestions. That's good to know about Program. Like I said, I really don't think it's fleas since it's been over a year since I found one on her, and she has been on Advantage almost nonstop. However, I am aware that all it takes is ONE flea...

It looks like an abscess to me, and it never ceases to amaze me how FAST they can develop on a cat. If it swells enough, it will open on it's own. Sometimes they'll also scratch one open. Then there's always the small wound where the problem started to begin with, so I wouldn't say (from the...

You know, call me crazy, but he looks like he has Rhodesian Ridgeback in him. Coloration and something about the body build and head. So my guess it Pit/Rhodie. I know we're not supposed to link copyrighted pictures, so hopefully linking a site is okay in lieu of that, but take a look at some...

I snapped this one while poor Cybercat was trying to have a yawn. She's just not very photogenic, and came out looking like a vampire cat about to attack the unsuspecting Sealink. And the funny thing is, Cybot is the sweetest of my three: Then there's this one, of a cat that was a rescue...

I agree, and perhaps the cases that made me the most angry when I worked at the clinic were those from the pet-store. Probably because they had to show us the invoice if they bought the pet from a particular store because it had the vaccination history on it. These dogs would be admitted mixed...

My Sealink as a kitten when she was curled up inside the tiny cubbyhole of my desk.

Sealink is my Houdini cat, though it's more about getting her INTO things than OUT of them. She once opened a zipped suitcase. I have no idea how. She's the brains of the operation. Cybot, bless her heart, is none too bright. She'll stand at the top of the stairs and do her very quiet...

I'm only planning on being a doctor! Who needs to know human anatomy as a doctor, if you can tell the difference between Min Pin and a Manchester Terrier? I mean, honestly!

I used to study dog breed books when I supposed to be doing REAL homework. I'm pretty good at anything AKC recognized, except--for some odd reason--for terriers.

Oooo. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! I love those. Someday I want one, though I'm not sure the kitties would approve.

Isn't that a Laekenois?

Working in veterinary medicine I saw a LOT of 'purebred' pets. Half the time I could even tell what they ACTUALLY were. It got on my nerves, but more from a perspective of scientific accuracy. It also bothers me a little because--while I have no problem whatsoever with people who want purebred...

Oh wow, your cat is both gorgeous AND a great hunter. Congrats to her on her first catch. On the other hand, that poor mouse. XD Can you imagine how scary that would be? I watched a cat catch a mouse once when I was walking home from the bus stop. It was really fun to watch. I'm all about the...

Awww, I love black kitties! Look at him, he looks like a big cuddler. I got one of my kitties from PetSmart's adoption center too. She'd been there three months and no one wanted her, and had been with the Cat Adoption Team for six months before that. I couldn't believe she'd been in ANY...

Ohhhh! Okay, that makes perfect sense. I learned about X-Inactivation last quarter, actually. Thinking she was a tabby while the mother was something else was baffling. Two calicos with different patterns is different. X-inactivation makes most female mammals mosaic. Each originating cell...
