    Bald Patch And Scabs On Tail

    Does anyone have any ideas about this? Lately Pushy has got these hard little scabs around the base of his tail. There's quite a few of them. They don't seem to be bugging him except when I mess with them too much trying to get them off. So I've been leaving them alone. Now today all of a sudden...

    Sheep's milk

    Has anyone here tried it? Could you describe the flavour? A local gourmet shop here has started selling it and I'm curious about trying it. Problem is at $6 for a small bottle I want to get a sense first of whether I'd like it! I've tried ewe's milk feta before and didn't like it, but I don't...

    pulled pork

    I tried making a couple of slow cooker's worth of pulled pork the other day and it turned out delicious, but not "pulled". I guess I used the wrong cut of meat? It was a loin roast type of cut I think, not the little tenderloin but a big 1kg hunk of meat. When it was done I had to cut it all up...

    Vegas, baby!

    DH and I are going to spend a week in Las Vegas over Christmas! :woo: We've been researching quite a bit, and there is no end to the things we can do there. I just wondered if anyone here has travel advice? I like hearing from people who've been somewhere and can say "do this, don't do that"...

    plant identification

    Can anyone tell me what this shrub is? I see quite a few of them around here and it's such a pretty flower. This is in my neighbour's yard. It's pretty hardy as it gets no attention, and it seems to be spreading itself. It's about 6 feet tall. Here's a close up of the flowers and leaves: I...

    How purry is your cat?

    My Wiggs is quite the little purr machine. He will just sit there purring away for no other reason than he's happy I suppose. You can even see him moving with the purrs. He also purrs readily when you go and pat him while he's sleeping. Pushy on the other hand only really purrs when he's having...

    Any ideas on how to get rid of tar on a cat's foot?

    My Pushy just walked over a patch of tar seal on the driveway. The patches were done over two weeks ago, but this product hasn't set properly and is still quite sticky. He got a little patch stuck on his front paw. I've managed to get most of it off by very carefully cutting the fur from in...

    California quakes

    I hope all our members from California are OK today. Just reading about the 6.0 quake that hit near San Fransisco. Scary stuff, and I'm very happy to read that no one was killed.
