I comb Prego every night, but he still developed a mat. I've gotten part of it out, but some of it is still there. I usually just take him to the groomer, and she is able, by some miracle, to comb them out. I just took him to the groomer 2 weeks ago, though, so I was hoping to get this one...

Sorry I haven't been around the last couple of weeks. I've been super-busy at work (which is where I do most of my TCS-ing). I've also been asked to moderate another forum that I frequent, so I've been there a bit more than usual. Anyway, today my precious Polly turns 2!!! Little Polly (aka...

Mini muffins, baby carrots, early peas. Do miniature foods taste better? I say yes! Stay tuned for the poll. errr, the 3rd option should say sometimes, Certain foods. Anyone know if I can edit poll options?

Help! My betta, Bubbles has popeye. I'm totally freaking out because I don't know what to do! He is in a one gallon tank with undergravel filter. I do a 25% water change once a week, and I use a water conditioner. I have had him for serveral months, and he has been happy and healthy so far...

Polly peed in the windowsill today. I just got done cleaning it up. Unfortunately, it was already completely dried out, so I'm going to have to get another sample from her for testing. I'm going to try to get it tonight. We are going to a party tonight, and she cries incessantly when she's...

This question comes courtesy of DH. He asked me to post it here. He wants to know what the ideal room temperature is for a cat. If they got to set the thermostat, what would it be set on?

So DH has been job hunting. For his current job, he does simulations of solid rocket fuels (yeah, he's a rocket scientist ). The center he works at (here at the University of Illinois) is funded by the Department of Energy, but the funding is ending this year (in August). His advisor found...

It will probably help if I explain that I'm a lab tech. One of our clients came by to pick up his cell lines. My boss had e-mailed me and told me he was coming and told me to get ready. I'm very organized so I really didn't feel I needed to do anything to be ready. The culture medium is...

Have you guys ever tried making your own frozen meals for the days when you're rushed and don't have time to fix something? I was thinking that I could just make double of whatever I'm having for dinner and then freeze the uneaten part for later, then thaw it out in the microwave. Much more...

Who on here owns a breadmaker? Have you ever used the rapid cycle? I was thinking it would be useful for bread "emergencies." Like, I didn't have time to make bread last night, so I had to pack my sandwich for lunch on a hamburger bun. DH offered me one of his bagels, but they're store...

OK, I have a new idea for a game! I'll post a quote from a musical and all the other musical lovers out there (I know there have to be some on this board.) can try to identify them. Other people can jump in and post some too. I think this will be fun. Here's a few to get started. 1) "Pore...

So, my grandma called yesterday. She lives in the same town as me. She and my grandpa are retired, so they do lots of retired people things. One of the things they do are trips with their bank. You pay some money and you get a bus ride, and lunch, and you go to some event, like a musical or...

I'm so excited! DH and I saw them in Las Vegas, and really loved it. Their unique instruments as well as their humor is just so...well, neat. Now they're coming here on tour. Better yet, I was presented with an opportunity to purchase early tickets and I got us in the front row! Any other...

So, are you guys getting a flu shot this year? There's plenty of supply for everyone to get one. I'm debating it. I had the flu for the first time two years ago. I was pretty miserable; all I could do was sleep for three days. I hardly even ate. I just didnt' have the energy. I survived...

So I bought a pineapple at Wal-Mart. Yum! The kitties keep nibbling on the leaves of it. I put the pineapple on top of the fridge, but is there any harm in nibbling the leaves?

So, DH has been sick since Sunday and this morning, I started coming down with it, too. I've been taking Airborne and drinking tons of herbal tea. When I'm sick, I try to get plenty of rest. In other words, I have an excuse for taking a nap after dinner. I don't like cold medicines...

Why do we add milk to scrambled eggs? I just do it because that's how I was taught to make them, but it occured to recently to wonder why?

Ok, this is sort of a rant. Anyway, my vet and I agree that the rabies vaccine is likely good for three years even though it's only labeled for one year. In my town, though, cats have to be vaccinated yearly. There is a labeled 3-year vaccine, but there is a risk of sarcoma with that vaccine...

Jones was Polly's half brother. They had the same mother, but were from different litters and both Polly and Jones have unknown fathers. I only met Jones once, but the staff at my vet's office told me how sweet he was, and how much he adored people and other cats. Like Polly, Jones was...

For those of you who have been following Polly's story, her urine sample today was totally normal. For those of you who don't know Polly's story, she was diagnosed with cystitis, and is on amytriptylene and prescription food. In June, she started having blood in her urine again (we had...
