    Is my cat dying?

    For now, I'd give her half a benadryl capsule broken open on her fav dish. If she eats it, and calms, wrap her in a towel and carefully calmly CLIP (no electric shaving!) away the fur in bits as you can expose pieces. Talk to her normally, even if she gets a hand out and rips you open as you...

    Is my cat dying?

    This is ridiculous. Not you for being concerned, but having to go through such worry for something like this. Do you have groomers in your local area? Call them and explain the issue. many groomers work right in the same clinic with vets so they can sedate animals who give them a hard time...

    How many Cats do you have?

    I have six. I would like to have five. We have a three bedroom home with garage and fenced backyard and a cat enclosure outside. The two adult queens both are kept separated from the others except for one queen who can spend time with my neuter boy without losing her mind. Exposure to other...

    Random Bathroom Clutter

    Hubby is a man's man-bar of green soap and a big bottle of shampoo. I have a bath puff, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, razor, shaving cream, hot oil treatments, once a week special conditioner. Our medicine cabinets are another story, he actually puts medicine in his (sheesh-how weird is...

    Why is my cat bringing me stuff?

    Be glad. Not only do my bengals not bring me anything, they steal my stuff. It's usually funny but I really am going to have to launch an intense search for my pink gold wedding band encircled with pink diamonds... In the past, it was always my female kitties who brought me "gifts" . i had a...

    Did you find a place for this girl yet? I am not a permanent home but I am willing to provide care for the random cat until they are placed. Please be aware we have crazy activity happening here! Tiny children, puppies, many bengal kitties....right now I have had no takers on my offer of foster...

    Anyone else ever open a bottle of pop while driving, and have it over flow?

    Ha ha! I am a horrible pepsi addict and drink many bottles a day. I now automatically thump the top-yes, the small cap, right on the flat top, thump it with your knuckle a few times- before opening. This prevents most overflows.

    F1 Bengal Girl

    Renovia- I have no F generation bengals but they all have distinct LOUD sounds they use regularly to coomunicate. I think Nial described it the other day, quite graciously, as "trills and chirps" lol. We have sounds here like imps in hell trying to escape the devil's clutches...at all hours of...

    Poor baby seagull

    Oh seagulls are tough old birds (sorry couldn't resist) I grew up in Florida. Saw tons of healthy adult gulls missing feet, legs, eyes. he'll be fine.

    Question of the Day - July 26th

    Christmas barbie-or is she called Holiday barbie? Also always wanted a Lite brite or, yes, the EZ bake oven. Vaguely recall lusting after the "spiralgraph"(?) my older sisters had. I got barbie's kid sister Skipper one year. It wasn't really the same. Anyone here a therapist?

    budgies

    I'm a budgie fan too! Currently I have two- a male English blue dutch pied and a female american olive green with tons of black barring. I do not provide a nest box so have no babies and have no plans for such. I have only ever had one budgie who was an egg layer-a blue american hen. My...

    I Found a Baby Cardinal; Advice?

    I want to clarify something about baby birds I posted so everyone doesn't think I am "mean and hateful" Lol. I advocate the elimination of both english sparrows and starlings from the US. it will never happen, of course, but both of these birds do more than merely take over niches formerly...

    Eeek! Show/birthing dilemma!

    I have reserved a hotel room, paid for the cage and entry fees, added pricey special beading to my cage curtains and planned for the addition of my two kiddos under 2 years old! So there ya have it. If anyone here is going and plans to drive through hampron roads, virginia and wants the role of...

    Is this normal for a neuter fee??? Im actually shocked I think...

    I'm in Virginia. After pricing around, I had my male bengal pet boy neutered and a rabies shot for 225. That was mid-range for here. I am always astonished at the folks who are still getting neuters/spays for under a 100 bucks. I think those prices are on their way out-almost every vet in town...

    Bengal Birth

    Hmm. I have watched tons of cats and dogs give birth, and I have to say that particular labor seemed quite painful on momma. I have never seen a kitty clawing up the nest box and biting down on it like that during the birth process (although lord knows I can relate, having had a baby of my own...

    Eeek! Show/birthing dilemma!

    I don't know anyone going to the show. (Imagine Donkey from Shrek singing "I'm all alone, there's no here to guide me....") I really hate to leave her. But I don't want to fall into being a breeder who never shows and i feel like if I miss this first one I may never get back on the horse. Weird.

    Eeek! Show/birthing dilemma!

    I can't believe the timing! I bought a gorgeous big queen to use as my foundation girl when I picked up my kittens. I have been quite excited about my little boy Kong and we have everything all arranged to show in Lancaster, PA, on Aug 18-19. The big queen had been bred but I didn't know if...

    Cat Smells Funky!

    As soon as you said your SO is a beer brewer alarm bells went off-my guess is a yeast overgrowth. That's actually good news-someone in the home who handles yeast regularly is a good source of yeast imbalance, as opposed to an immunie system disorder...get her checked out.

    building a small cat shelter

    That is a roof, btw...and three platforms at different levels for climbing. The wire is chicken wire, we used fence staples to put it on the frame, which is made of 8 foot long 2 x 2's. We have brackets at all intersections and wood screws of course for the framing. The roof is vinyl, again we...
