    New cat over-eating?

    Thank's for that information! But let me ask you; did she gain excess weight in that period of time? Or do cats in this situation just burn it right off? This lovely cat of mine is looking like he is super fit and trim and just right, very strong and healthy. Like an athlete. I would hate for...

    New cat over-eating?

    Yes, he's been dewormed etc. properly. His stool seems a bit abnormal; very pudding-like, not very formed. Not diarreah either, but he's also had some gas. I am assuming this must be from stress, since he has had a very good check-up at the vet's recently. I wasn't there, but they listed all the...

    New cat over-eating?

    So did you restrict his food quite a bit? Did he beg for more constantly? Thank's for the advice!

    New cat over-eating?

    We got a new cat 3 days ago from a no-kill shelter. He's been checked by vet, vaccinated, neutered and taken well care of. Also been fostered. He is 3-4 yrs old, they believe. Strong and healthy, very slim but not skinny. Just perfect weight. He's been on Purina Pro Plan kibbles which they gave...

    Add oil to food to help for hairballs?

    Is it normal for a cat to vomit a full meal just to get rid of a hairball? My cat is very fussy about being brushed, so it's hard to get her hair out. She's of medium length. She's been vomiting about once a week or every other week or so, and it's always a full meal that comes up, with either a...

    What is appropriate for me to do in this situation? Funeral

    Thank you so much! I actually saw this announcement in the blog that they have, one that has been primarily about his condition. But when I found his obituary (sp?) in the paper, it only listed the viewing, and it said nothing about the memorial. So I take it that the memorial is privat. I'll...

    Someone I know lost her husband a couple of days ago. They are not close to me in any way, however I know the lady somewhat and have talked to her on several occations. She is a very close friend of my SIL. The dh was only 39-40 yrs old or so, and we prayed for him a lot during a one year battle...

    Site for buying cat tree plans

    Someone at another board just posted this link, to show where she got the plans for their new cat tree. It looked real nice. She said they payed about $80 instead of $200 at the store, plus it's better quality too. Thought I'd share it, in case some of you are interested...

    Do you know of a great dog board?

    Thank's! I did a search, and found a great lab board that I suggested for my friend. It looked SO similar to this board, just all dogs. It was just what I was looking for.

    Do you know of a great dog board?

    Someone I know has a dog that they had neutered at the age of 6 mo. Since then, he (lab) has had a problem with fecal "accidents" all around the clock. He did have a reaction to a medication regarding the fix, and it is not clear yet what the problem is at this point; mental or physical. I told...

    Please, quick!! Re: pink eye in dd?

    Thank you so much for your advice! And yes, it's my human daughter I'm talking about... I decided to call the doctor's office the next morning, but before I got that far she had gotten up and her eye was 90% better!!!!! I didn't expect that! It was still very faintly pink, but since it has such...

    Please, quick!! Re: pink eye in dd?

    I need to know whether this may be a bacterial pink eye or not: She was pink in one eye this morning, and more red now in the evening. Meaning in the white of the eye. It is not draining at all, but starting to itch, and hurting if she rubs it. She's almost 8 yrs old. She just started a cold...

    Have you ever met someone sooo dumb....

    You know, it may be surprising that she is "that old" and still can't boil water or what-not. But it is amazing how disabled you can become if you haven't been raised right, for one thing. Who knows what all she has gone through in life. If she doesn't know the basics of living and taking care...

    Does citronella damage fabrics / colors?

    My cats are scratching furniture now and then, and though their claws are clipped, I'd still like to get them to stop. They have a good cat tree that they like to scratch too. I have sprayed on a couple different "cat repellant" sprays that they seem to want to ignore, but today I purchased...

    Know more of these? "You know you're getting old when..."

    You know you're getting old when -your back goes out more often than you do -when you bend down to pick up something, you look around to see if there is anything else you can pick up while you're down there anyway... I know there's a whole list of these, and I'd love to read them all again...

    7-8 mo old cats getting a pooch... Should I stop free feeding?

    To my understanding I should free feed my cats until they are about a year old. They are about 7 -8 mo. old right now, and they were spayed at around 5 mo. They are on Nutro natural kitten kibbles. They don't seem to over eat, though it's hard to say since I fill up the bowl whenever it goes...

    URI and permanent loss of the sense of smell?

    My cat had an URI when I got her; she was 8 weeks old at the time. She was also malnurished. Anyway, she had a very runny nose, with yellow mucus coming from it. And sneezing etc. She is now around 8 mo. old and I'm wondering if she had a permanent damage to her nose due to her URI? She seems...
