I've been really unhappy with what I've been trying for cat litter lately. Can you all post the litter that you use, the relative cost and the pros and cons? We've tried: Clumping clay litter from Costco, about $11 for 40 lbs. Pros: Clumps well cats love it masks odor Cons: DUSTY! got...

I was wondering if someone could explain the genetics of this cat, Phantom: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...a/IMG_1113.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...a/IMG_0007.jpg He's not mine, but belongs to a member of another board I visit and when I saw him, I was just amazed as I've...

So I've got a kitty with chronic UTI problems who's been on Hill's C/D for about a year now. The problem is I think that the food is absolute junk, made up of mostly corn and other grain fillers. I also think that's he's slightly allergic to the corn and other grains as he's wheezy on and off...

I'm really not happy in my current job/profession and I've been really thinking about pursuing an interest in becoming a librarian. I love the library, i love books, i love research and fact finding/learning and I'd love to work in a quite(r) environment. I've done some research on line about...

It's so nice that you all are here to "talk" to! I'm making custom shirts for everyone in the wedding party and for both sets of parents, as a surprise. My problem is with my FiancÃ169's Dad and his wife. Robert's mother died a little over two years ago and his dad remarried about a year...

Soooo I'm getting married in less than a month and I don't know what to do with my hair! I've been growing it out long, just for this event (and now it's the longest I've ever had it!) so I'd like to wear it up. Thing is, i'm self concious about my ears. They're not the biggest dumbo ears I've...

On why it IS NOT better for a female cat to have one litter of kittens before she's spayed. Trying to educate the populace. Also, any articles about ped. speutering would be great. Running into some angst on that as well. Has there been any research done about the long term health effects...

Just got an email from my parents that my brother should be home from Iraq sometime over the weekend! He's in Kuwait right now and should fly out from there tomorrow and make it into California sometime on Sunday! I'm so happy he's back here and away from the craziness over there! Though I...

My fiancÃ169 and I have decided to choose our own last name when we get married. I love the idea of two people coming together and creating something unique that pertains to them and their union. That and he's not close to his dad's side of the family and I don't really want to become Mrs. Hill...

So my car has been running a little sluggishly lately, not accelerating at the pace it used to. I've been planning on taking it in next Sat. until it decided last night that wasn't soon enough! Basically it now won't go over 20 mph and it takes FOREVER to get going that fast. It's a 2004 with...

Ok, I really can sleep, I just have trouble falling asleep! I think my sleep schedule is fromm 3 am to 11 or noon, but that's not too helpful when you work the regular 9 to 6! So how do you guys get to sleep quicker? It's pretty much a given that on Sunday nights I take Tylenol PM or else I...

About two weeks ago, we took in a stray dog at my work. My boss is a real dog lover/dog person and didn't want to let this poor boy keep running loose. In that time, she's had him neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, bathed, and has started training him. He spends days with us at work (on a lead...

I need help! I've become such a slacker at my job and I need ways to get back into the swing of things (at least for 3 to 4 more months). I was looking for a new job a bit ago, but now that it seems like my fiancÃ169's company may fold in Sept. I think I should keep this steady job until we...

I went to Petsmart today and went to visit the adoption animals. Well they have this sweet little kitten that just stole my heart! He/she is MAYBE 6 weeks old with fluffy black fur and a little inch long stub of a tail. It's name is Tar Baby. He/She was a little shy at first but was soon...

We've been trying to figure out who the Dad to our stray litter was and I thought if I could give some of our genetics experts mom and babies coloring, and some of the local cats coloring, they could help us narrow it down! Mom: Dsh, short black glossy fur. Tiny crick at the end of tail Tubby...

Hey Everyone, I'd love to see pictures of cat enclosures people have built. We typically have our cats stay in the Cat room/guest room overnight or when we're gone for short periods of time. However, when we have guests stay with us, we obviously move out their litterbox, food, water, etc. We...

I have a question for all the people who rescue/foster pregnant cats, wether through a rescue or on your own. When our stray mom cat's babies were old enough, we took her to a low cost clinic/shelter to be spayed. I think the babies were about 8 1/2 weeks old. Shortly after that, two of her...

In October, my fiance and I took in a pregnant stray cat. She had her babies in November and they've found good homes (except for two who passed ), but we haven't been able to find a home for her. All of our friends are not looking for a cat, and the only reponses I've gotten to ads have been...

I wanted to write a tribute to the two babies I lost about 3 weeks ago. We took in their mamma as a stray when we realized she was pregnant and she gave birth to 5 wonderful kittens. Sadly, after two had gone to their new homes, two of the remaining babies got sick, and about a week later we...

Hello Everyone, Sorry if this is the wrong area, please move it if it is. I was wondering about the fur texture on one of my kittens. It's crinkly looking, even his whiskers are crinkled and kinked instead of smooth. The best way I can think of to describe it is similar to the look of a dog...
