This is my husband and my first christmas together and away from our families, and we are not exchanging gifts for each other, but I still wanted...

    Little sores on neck

    MY 3 y.o. healthy until now cat took her collar off this morning (does occasionally so we give her a little break). I was scratching her neck/back of head and noticed tiny bumps. We held her still and I saw little scabs, about a quarter (the coin, not a quarter or her head) sized area under...

    Alleged Melamine Spiking in Food “Widespread” For Years

    http://www.itchmo.com/read/melamine-...years_20070429 The link that the above article is getting their info on is not working, so I suppose the above link itself has to be taken at face value for the moment. But doesn't it seem to confirm our suspicions? Kind of one of those moments where you...

    Paint safety

    This is a relly dumb question, for something really dumb that I want to do... Sooo, I got this great deal at a petstore the other day on a hard carrier, it was on clearance because the line is discontinued or something. Anyway, I wanted a hard sided one since I've moved a good distance from...

    New to feeding on schedule

    Hi all! I think I need to put Marishka on a food schedule, but not because of her own issues My mom's jack russel is on a diet, and has discovered Mari's food as a 'snack' between meals and at night. She gained all the weight she had lost before we figured it out...lol. Anyway, there's no...

    Vomiting

    Marishka readily ate her first meal of Fromm foods Beef wet food this evening (about 3.5-4 ounces). I went into my bedroom about an hour ago, and she had vomited all of it up (onto my new and clean bedding), looking just about how it looked when she ate it. She hasn't acted sick all evening...

    Tomato Paste

    Is tomato paste straight up okay for cats, as a treat? I gave Marishka some new food- made by Fromm foods, the beef entree (here). She absolutely loved the sauce it was in, and then scarfed down the food. It smelled...famaliar, so I took a look at the ingredients again and I realized I was...

    Canadian money demon head

    So, I was reading this thing on snopes about how you can see a demon face in some old Canadian money, and I am looking at the picture, and just can't see it! I'm practically inches away from the picture on the screen, and it's eluding me...am I the only one...

    Allergies, Fur, Vet Recs.

    So, not too long ago I posted about how Marishka had a bald spot on her arm, but couldn't find a reason; no scratching, redness, bumps, anything that I could really find at all. Well, I've noticed that she is losing some fur on one of her back legs, and now a few tiny spots on another leg. I'm...

    Bald spot on arm

    I noticed a few days ago that Marishka has a bald spot on her arm. It is not round...more long, about an inch long. There is no redness, spots, bumps, scratches or anything. And she pays no attention to it, and I've never caught her scratching or chewing at it. I can't think of anything she...

    Natural Balance for Cats

    I just have to give my props to this food! Marishka has been on it for about 5 months, and she seems to love it. She also gets one can of wet food a day (the absolute most she'll eat, but I'm ok with that now). Anyway. I always noticed people raving about how you'll know the difference in...

    Can you cook?

    So, I don't/can't cook...at least very well. I can bake cookies and cake and stuff, but that's about it (and seems much easier!) I need to get some groceries, because we don't have anything to eat. There is some frozen shrimp in the freezer, deveined and skinned or something. How can I cook...

    I got a flier for Petsmart's Banfield Microchip Clinic. For $29.95 they get microchipped with the True Paws Pet Identification System. I searched on google for this company and can't find anything on the Petsmart website. Anybody know anything about this company, or Banfield and their...

    I've been looking for a cat proof bird cage...more so than the regular cages she has been in for the last 19 years of her life since now we have a curious cat.

    Scratching furniture

    I just noticed Marishka scratching one of my mom's antique chairs the other day. So I want to buy a scratcher just for her. She has a big cat tree, about 6.5 feet tall, with rope, and wood and carpet that should be fun to scratch (you'd think). I've never seen her scratch anything else, and...
