    Could you spare some good thoughts?

    I'm not very active on here, but I thought maybe I could get some good thoughts from other cat lovers. My Marcel is missing. He is one of my house cats and they do not go out. He has always been one to try to sneak out, but we always see him and catch him right away. I'm guessing there was...

    Multi-species pics!

    We have one big happy family here. The cats like the dog, the sheep like the cats and the cats don't eat the rabbit! This pic was from a while ago, but I want to use it as a "before".... Look at how much Olive has grown! Arctic is checking out Dobby. "Eww, that cat touched me!" Quarter...

    Stroll through the pasture...

    Ebony and I are entered in obedience and rally trials this weekend, so I took her out to the pasture to work on her heal and other obed exercises. There are lots of good smells and various critters to distract her. She did a very good job, so the leash came off and she got to explore!!! Here...

    The cutie pie in the picture is Alto. She was a Leap Day baby!! Her twin was still born and she caught pneumonia a few days after she was born, so seeing her like that *really* makes me smile!

    Olive is NOT happy with me!

    Olive has become completely obsessed with her spay incision. The surgery was 4 weeks ago and she is still not healed. The vet told me that I have to keep her from licking otherwise it won't heal. The e-collar slows her down, but she can still lick, so the body sock was my next option. She is...

    She's driving me nuts!

    Olive came home from the vet this morning. She was spayed yesterday. She has always been a compulsive groomer and she will NOT stop licking her stitches. She's been home just over an hour and she has been grooming herself the entire time. I tried putting a sock on her and it is not covering...

    Spay while in heat?

    My little six-month-old, Olive, is scheduled for her spay tomorrow and I am pretty sure she is in heat. I called the vet and they said they can still do it, it will just cost $10 more. I asked if there were any more risks due to the increased blood flow to the area and they were still...

    How often can you deworm?

    How often can you SAFELY deworm an otherwise healthy adult cat? Two of my barn cats are amazing mousers, but that just means they constantly have tapes. I just gave all my barn cats a dose of Drontal the end of September...is it too soon to do it again? I noticed yesterday that Roxie has the...

    Video:Marcel, Olive and Ebony

    Olive is the little fireball in the video. She is so rough with Marcel (the gray kitty). He is such a sweetheart though and plays gently with Olive. Ebony is my nanny...she always has to supervise any roughhousing that goes on. As you can see, the cats are not bothered by her keeping a close...

    How I keep my carpet fluffed....

    Marcel (the gray one) and Olive (the adorable little one) are enjoying the laser pointer. The video can't keep up with Marcel's quickness...you can hear how quickly he slaps his paws against the floor. They are so fun to watch!

    Scrapbook supply website??

    Does anyone buy scrapbooking supplies online? Can anyone recommend a company to me? Every year my sister-in-law asks for scrapbooking supplies for Xmas and I would love to get her a gift certificate to someplace that might have some stuff that she can't get locally. I'm not a scrapbooker, so...

    Itchy Kitten...need advice/opinions please!

    My newest addition, Olive is now 11 weeks old. A few days after I brought her home I noticed that she was scratching herself. Now the scratching has turned more to chewing. Her beautiful long hair is constantly wet from all the chewing. What could be causing this? The symptoms started before...
