Greeting everyone. My name's Rob. I've actually been a member here since 2006, but haven't visited the site since 2011. My last post was about my Ash crossing the bridge in 2011. I rediscovered the site a few months ago (posted one comment in March), and I though a reintroduction was due. A lot...
Well, it's official. Our 13 year old Shih Tzu, Tessa , is almost completely blind. She been having eye problems for years, beginning with a freak accident when she was 3 that caused her left eye to bulge partially from the socket making incapable of producing tears. She's had glaucoma for a...
I'm in shock. Ash, one of my older cats, is gone. It was so unexpected, one day he was his normal active self, and then.......I just don't don't know what to say. I can't believe this happened. He just had his 9th birthday on Oct. 18 and just a little while ago I felt him take his last breath...
So, i was attempting to get rid of this old chair but couldn't get it past the piano. Had to leave it there for a little while. Of course, the cats decided to make use of it.
As I posted in the "health" forum, my 8 month old kitten Simba crossed the bridge about an hour ago at the emergency vet. I'm still in shock, it was so sudden. I'll miss him sitting on my shoulder, purring loudly in my ear. Play happily across the bridge my little friend. My first cat Frisky...
I'm in shock. Simba (8 month old kitten) was perfectly normal, was sitting on my shoulder like he always does. About 15 minutes later, I saw the bulge. A section of his intestine about the size of a golf ball is sticking out. I've never seen anything like this. I immediately called several vets...
Well, I've got a little flu pandemic at home. It started with Bitty and within a day had spread to half the others. Now they've all got it. Some of them don't seem too bothered by it, acting normal, eating normal. While others have been somewhat lethargic, sleeping a lot, eating very little...
My Bitty & my sister Jacky's (mews2much) Sasha celebrate their 5th birthday today.
Here's Bitty & Sasha when they were a few months old.

Happy birthday kids!!!!
I got a bit of a surprise when my girlfriend came home from work today. She brought along a new friend. A 5 year old Shih Tzu named Obi-Wan.
While she was at work, an employee from Petco came into the store and told her about this dog that had been brought in for grooming 4 days ago and the...
Many of you have seen my posts in this thread about Cloud & Gizmo. This little kitten I'm posting about was my neighbor's. Here's a little back story...
My neighbor inherited a pregnant cat. About 6 weeks ago she gave birth to 5 kittens. I've been helping out with them since they were born as...
Simba, one of the remaining 2 kittens from the litter that included Cloud & Gizmo, has developed a serious eye problem. I noticed he had been keeping the eye closed or only opening it a little and a lot of teary discharge. Turns out he has an ulcer on the surface of his eye, his inner eyelid is...
Here's some comparison pics of my kitties from when they were kittens to how they look as adults. Boy, they sure have changed.

Just wanted to give an update on the 2 remaining kittens I have. As you may have read in the "Crossing The Bridge" forum, Cloud & Gizmo didn't make it. I'm happy to report that little Simba and Nala are doing very good. Not great, because they both still have some minor symptoms (primarily runny...
As I posted in the Health forum, Gizmo, Cloud's sister, died suddenly last night. She was 9 weeks old. This is the video I posted in the Cloud thread, Gizmo is the one on her back getting tackled by the others at the beginning of the video
3 weeks ago I posted in the "crossing the bridge" forum about Cloud, the six week old kitten that died from a URI. Gizmo is one of the three remaining kittens from that litter. She has had some serious growth problems. She's far smaller than the others & her rib cage isn't shaped right. I had...
Cloud, a six week old kitten that had been battling an aggressive URI lost her fight last night. I knew she didn't have much time left so I stayed up all night holding her. I felt her take her last breath at around 4 a.m.
Have fun over the bridge, sweet little girl.
Here's a series of pics of all my cats. They're in order from oldest to newest. Look how the kittens have grown. (I split this into several posts due to so many pics)
