Sorry to hear that Daphne (one of my pets has this name, also ) has worms. Just wanted to second the comment that short haired kitties can definitely suffer with hairballs. One of my domestic short hair cats does suffer with hairballs on a semi-regular basis, unfortunately (the coughing is a...

Wow, I thought I was the only one. A few months ago, I woke up and Ebony was lunging at my face. Luckily I didn't have any major scratches, but it almost gave me a heart attack!

Ryan Seacrest. I've never even watched an episode of 'American Idol', but for some reason I can't stand the guy!!

Yes, I second Arlyn's comment. The towel wrap method is safe, and can be very effective. We found the best way to get a kitty to swallow pills is to have one person gently hold him/her by the scruff of the neck with one hand, and tilt their head gently backwards (the other hand keeps the cat's...

Oh man, I feel your pain! Our new cat recently had to take a bunch of medications. We found that administering a pill was definitely a two person job, and we needed a pill gun (feel free to send me a PM if you want a more detailed rundown of what worked for us). The best pill guns (imo) are...

I suppose even though they appear to be in good health, a vet visit might be an idea just to rule out any medical problems (especially if this is a newish behavior). NavDoc, just out of interest, what product are you using to clean up the pee? I had an issue with one of my cats peeing on...

That photo is a classic! I'm so glad things are going so well for Nala and Evan. That is fantastic news!!

Is it true that senior cats require "geriatric cat food"? I always thought if your kitty was in good health, you could feed them a regular (premium brand) food...

I love the term 'drowned rat'. Whenever I give my pets a bath, they always give me the "this is NOT natural. Animals in the wild never have baths" look.

Oooh, yikes. I am sorry to hear about the fight. It's odd that the girls have lived together for four years with no problems, and then such a serious fight happened. I wonder if your first step might be a vet visit for both dogs -- just to make sure there are no health issues? It sounds...

Oops, sorry Runtz! They look like total dolls!

She's a beaut! I love her markings. Great pics.

Wow! You are so lucky to have snuggly kitties!!! Beautiful photos of two gorgeous kitties (and Taffy's tail is really pretty!)!

He's just gorgeous!! ps I love his name!

Yes, I get them around my eye area sometimes, too (it seems to correspond with fatigue). I try to take potassium (like eating a banana, or taking a multi vitamin), as I've heard that can help.

I also have two greyhounds, and agree with Momofmany. I'm not sure about malamutes, but with greyhounds (also considered a 'high prey drive' breed), there is only a very small percentage that can never be trusted around cats. Most respond well to some training. In my personal experience --...

Yes, I am still feeding my kitties their wet food (Merrick). After reading Jean44's post in this thread, I am going to investigate the Wellness canned food though (I have lots of cans of this at home - interestingly, neither of my kitties like it. We were planning on donating it).

My Dh and I were watching Sci-Fi channel a couple of years ago, and they were showing "Braveheart". What the...? My Dh (who is a fan of Stargate) just watches the episodes online, now.

Clearly, he has the weight of the world on his little kitty shoulders. Great pic.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lilly sounds like she was very special. What a wonderful tribute to your girl.
