    Crossing the Bridge

    It is a puzzel to why his blood was so thin. He had never had an asprin. In fact none of the kitties take asprin. He was getting a monthly shot for allergies. The Vet said that would not make his blood so thin. But that the shots could have caused the diabetis to start. Bless his heart when he...

    looking to form a support group - long msg -

    I am sorry you had to take the route you did. But you did the right thing. If you would have given Giz to someone else he would probably do the same thing. And no telling what would have happened. Sometimes No life is better than a bad life. I realized this 13 years ago when I got in with the...

Before she got the fountain she had to let water run in a cup for him. I do not know the price she paid. You can...

    Orions Outside Family

    I had the same problem while trying to catch the little black kitty. She would eat & slip back into a fenced area. At night I think Coons were getting the food. The water bowl was always nasty with food the next morning. I am happy to say I caught her, got her spayed, & her name is Buda. She is...

    Help !

    You can still get him neutered. The lady does not seem to care one way or the other. If you keep him a few days he will do fine. She will probably never even notice. Kitties sometimes choose who they had rather be with & he choose you. I would still feed him to. The kitty that I took into the...

    White Blue eyed kitties

    Does anyone know anything about Blue Eyed White Kitties? A friend of mine wants one. I told him that usually in most blue eyed kitties they are deaf. I do not think he believes what I am saying. I have 2 that have yellow eyes. Neither are deaf. He wants a kitten. Prayers

    Tough decisions

    I can not believe a vet told her to put the kitty down. My Vet has suggested to put one down when there is no hope of living. No cure No treatment. It is a hard decision to make even then. A Vet usually does not suggest that because your his livelyhood. I would be hard pressed to put one down...

Try feed stores.It works because a lady that I know used it at her Bed & Breakfast to keep her goat from pooping on the side walk. And when all else fails. Check out...

    Tough decisions

    If she goes close to the litter box why not just put down a large towel or a throw that can be washed daily if needed. One of the Humane Society members told us to never put plastic down. She said cats like the odor of the plastic. She worked for Chevron chemical & they made plastic. She said...

    Tough decisions

    How about the cheap litter. The plain old clay litter. Here in Texas there is a company that sells just clay litter. Plus you can get it at Wal-Mart. I tried the good stuff with the smell good in it. My kitty that had to be put down 2 months ago was allergic to it. made his feet swell. Maybe she...

    Tough decisions

    Does she pee in the same place everytime? My daughters kitty that was 20 years old would poop in front of his box. He did this even when he was young. So she just used old towels to put in front of his box. Now when he would pee he would back up to the litter box & squirt inside of it. It had a...

    Sudden Bursts of Energy

    All of my kitties are different. In the way they dig in the litter boxes. I have one female that would did a six foot hole if she could. And a male that stands in the litter box on one leg to tinkle. The other three legs are on top of the litter box. I have tried to get a picture of him doing...

So, I keep the kitties in all the time. They have been in so long now they would be lost if they went out. I am truely...
