I think I'm being silly about this, but I'm really, really going to miss my cats . I have this great research opportunity abroad, and am leaving today........and won't be back until Oct. 1. My boyfriend will be taking care of the furkids, and I ordered them something from Momofmany's shop...

I haven't flown in a long time, and the last time, international travel + baggage handlers destroyed my suitcase (actually, they broke off the stand/wheel part on one side, so it's "lame" and will fall over unless you're stabilizing constantly!) Where do you get a decent suitcase for less than...

So Munchie has been in the clear for a awhile (no more bloody pee, no more straining, no more crystals ), and he's on a mostly wet diet now (no more Rx diet ). There have been a lot of posts about using different "extras" to help keep a cat's urine pH low/acidic to prevent struvite stone...

Does anyone have one of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/FOREVER-Litter-T...QQcmdZViewItem I've only seen it on eBay. Thinking about getting the Scoopfree automatic litter box, but the replacement boxes are $$$$ esp. with shipping (best price I've found is the 3-pack on amazon.com, strangely cheaper...

Ever get hit in the head by your cat?? The other night we're saying a quick grace before dinner and something grazed me across the forehead before we finished...almost bust out laughing b/c I could hear some furry feet scrambling in the background...it was a Rosie-the-Rat chucked from the sofa...

How do people put aside money for their cats? Not counting monthly food/litter bills, how do people save for emergency visits, annual vet trips, meds, etc.? Does this sound adequate? $500/year per cat in an interest-bearing account, letting unused funds roll-over, e.g. if not used during year...

Did you know...that ground turkey has more fat than ground sirloin? I didn't; granted this info is posted on a beef website, but they can't just make the stuff up (or can they??!) http://www.txbeef.org/view_archived_...archived_id=36 I was thinking about trying to incorp. ground turkey into...

Can you edit a gift message after the gift has been given? I used the "&" symbol & it comes out as "&amp" and makes the message "ugly", so I wanted to correct it. Plus, I made my msg a bit too long I wish there were a preview feature for gift messages

Went to see the animated movie Ratatouille today -- loved it! Best movie we've seen for a long time now, incl. non-cartoons! Who knew rats could be so cute ? Oh, and you totally get inspired to break out a cookbook & be a little chef at home! Kids will like it & it's funny in a way that...

Okay, the ASPCA commercial w/ Sarah McLachlan's song "Angel" killed me with all those sad eyes in the background . I usually try to write a check once or twice a year to the ASPCA or some shelter, but figured the monthly giving might be a good way to give a lot by giving a little each month...

Just wondering if anyone has the Swiffer WetJet ... Is it better than just using the regular Swiffer Sweeper with their wet cloth? Oh, and is the cleaning solution fragranced? (same scent as the wet cloth?) (The smell kinda gets on my nerves ) Thanks!

Okay, saw a coupon for Twinkies in the Sunday paper...one thing led to another, and the BF said, "Let's go get Fish & Chips!" So we went to a place that has all that stuff & more (incl. fried Snickers, Mars bars, Reese's!) -- The ChipShop in Brooklyn run by Brits...

"5 Factor Fitness" by Harley Pasternak http://www.5factordiet.com/publicsite/index.aspx He's been getting a lot of press in the fashion/celeb mags -- most recently, US mag cover Jessica Simpson -- (he works w/ "normal" people, too). Just checked out the book from my local library -- flipped...

Can you believe it? The parking meter was stuck, tried to put a quarter in & it got stuck, the FAIL message popped up. So we thought, ok, it's legal to park at a failed meter for under 1 hour. Plus, it ate the quarter already. We go grab some groceries, out in 30 min, and there's the...

Anyone make valerian tea for cats? It's safe, right? I emailed the Celebration Herbals tea people about their organic catnip tea (ingredients: 100% organic catnip leaves + blossoms ), and they said it's safe to open the tea bag up & give cats the catnip, since it's just catnip. (They said...

Fill in the blank: I'm supposed to be ________, but am surfing TCS instead!!" For me, right now, I'm supposed to be reading journal articles (science/medical journals -- I wish junk/glossy mags!! ), but I'm keep clicking back on TCS instead!

Thinking of placing an order at Plain Brown Tabby for some toys ...saw the Cat Paper thing. Wondering if anyone has used it before . Sounds like might be good for litter box area or maybe as a liner?

Was checking out the Feline Pine site, and saw this alert : (Toxoplasmosis bacteria killing sea otters) http://www.naturesearth.com/specialalert.html Had actually seen a small news blurb a few weeks back...am surprised it hasen't made bigger headlines. Dump instead of flush...seems like a...

All these food posts are getting me hungry ... for bad food ! Anyone have a recipe for THIN CRISPY chocolate chip cookies? I want to make them like the Tate's Bake Shop cookies -- tried the recipe in their book but not as thin & crispy as their pre-packaged ones ($6 for 10 ultra-thin cookies!)

Okay, so they'll still be REALLY expensive, but it's time again for the Angelical Cat Furniture sale (www.angelicalcat.com). Here's the email I got from them -- totally tempted (but have to save for car repair & other things ): We got one a year ago during the sale & it's great... love to...
