    They're made of METAL for crying out loud!!

    Okay, so I know better than to leave bags of catfood anywhere not locked up. Even if I leave it for a minute, the crew will tear it open. I learned that lesson the hard way. So last night I come with a case of canned cat food. CANNED mind you. In metal cans. Hence the term, canned. I left it...

    Bengal questions...

    Okay, is my bengal just demented? There are several strange things about him and his sister (who my mother and sister own) that just puzzle me. Firstly, Bengals are very active cats, yes? But I swear, Azzy is one of my laziest cats. Oh, he'll get up and goof off now and again but most of the...

    Finally found a home for one of the boys!

    If you remember the two little kitties a coworker gave me to rehome that we were worried had FIV (fortunately, they don't), I've finally found a home for Dash, the tuxedo. No one's wanted them because no one wants such 'plain' kitties (tux and solid black). But one of my techs just approached...

    Soft Paws Extravaganza

    I finally bought Soft Paws nail caps for my crew of eight. I only decided to cap six of them since two of my cats don't scratch at all and don't even seem to know what claws are for. I mainly decided to do it because they're starting to tear my carpet up beside my bedroom door (they are not...

    Bengal learned to open the fridge! ARGH!

    So a couple of days ago I get up to go to work and find the chicken backs left over from the dog's dinner the night before are strewn down my hallway, chewed on and half eaten. Upon entering the kitchen my fridge is half open. I curse myself for not shutting it all the way, close it, and clean...

    Foster is really nosey...and its getting irritating!

    I took in two 'foster' cats a month and a half ago, roundabouts. Two eight week old boys, one solid black and one tuxedo (you may remember the post in SOS about Cap'n Jack and Sparrow). As it stands, their names are now Izzy (the black) and Dash. I named Dash that way because he has a little...

    Bengal pics!!

    Okee, these two are not mine. Rather they are my mother's bengals. The brown spotty girl is Isis, the sister to my Aslan. The other is a seal point lynx snow bengal named Kali. The pictures do NOT do her justice. Enjoy! Kali just after she was rescued. Sorry for the pic quality...it was a cell...

    How do I get myself into these things??

    I'm taking in two kittens. A coworker of mine came across them (he was in a rush and didn't say how) and cannot keep them. It's either this or, as he said, 'dumping them'. Whether that means shelter or street, I don't know, but I do know shelters are overburdened right now with kittens. All I...

    RIDICULOUS vet!

    Okay, as some of you know my mother has two bengals (which, legally are mine...my name is on their paperwork as their legal owners and they know that if at any time they can't keep them or if anything happens, the cats go with me). Anyway, my stepdad has been procrastinating about getting the...

    More good thoughts needed

    My boyfriend's guide dog may have cancer. He's been going through a very tough time lately and this is just the icing on the cake. He's noticed something wasn't quite 'right' with her the last couple of weeks. Last night he ended up taking her to the emergency vet. Please, send your vibes and...

    Can they do this?????

    Okay, here's the thing. A couple months ago we had a community meeting for the apartment complex I live in. I didn't get to go because they gave us like three days warning for it, and on the day it was on I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled out. Anyway, they said it was about renovations to the...

    Raw feeding at last!

    I finally ordered my electric meat grinder! So its official...as soon as it arrives my cats are going on raw. I've wanted to put them on it for the last eight months but couldn't afford to buy an electric one without dipping into my emergency vet fund, and a hand-cranked one is just a pain in...

    To anyone who likes to write fiction

    I run an RPG forum/roleplay/tandem writing/whatever you wanna call it, called the Edda of Rhye. I've been a member of the Edda for over ten years, and its RM for eight. I was co-RM with a wonderful man who tragically passed away over a year ago. Ever since he died, save for a very few loyal...

    Responsibility

    I wrote this a looong time ago, and just came upon it. It fits even more today than when I wrote it. *** Things are so easily justified. Pain, slaughter, it was for this reason or that. It's right because...we must because...they should have known better...their fault, always, never mine...

    Looking for a mentor

    Preferably in Washington State, but anyone who knows their stuff will do. I know a few people on here breed Bengals. I'm looking into joining the show circuit and possibly, POSSIBLY breeding my own line of Bengals in the distant, distant, DISTANT future. But I'm a dunce when it comes to cat...

    Any experience with hip dysplasia?

    In people, that is, not pets! When I was seventeen I was taking Tae Kwon Do. In the middle of a tournament (I won a bronze medal, btw...okay, brag done ), when I went to do a side kick my hip popped out and then snapped back in. Needless to say, it hurt like a buggaboo for the next couple of...

    Extremely nervous...

    In about two hours time, I'm driving to the airport to meet my best friend for the first time. Yeah, you read that right I've known this woman for seven years. We met on an RPG/Writer's Forum bulletin board and have been very good friends for years. We've talked on the phone several times...
