    Food for a cat with severe allergies

    I'm not sure what she's allergic to specifically, I've tried to narrow it down with little luck. She's been the vet numerous times, on steroids, antibiotics, creams, etc with no affect. So I've been waging the battle at home with limited success. She's had allergies all her life and it's...

    What COE or breeding practices do cat breeders have?

    This is a completely honest question from someone who didn't even know there were cat shows until about two years ago. I know about finding a fantastic dog breeder, their COE, proper puppy rearing, showing, titles, etc. I was wondering what is involved in cat breeding and showing, is there a...

    1 down and 2 to go!

    Stripey the outside cat was spayed today. I'm thrilled, but then I'm not the one with an incision and anesthesia hangover. This will be one of those 'you'll thank me later' moments, I'm sure. Since Stripe was a feral when we moved in (she came with the house, though I failed to see mention of...

    Question for the runners

    Hey all, I've recently taken up running (like a week ago). I am 5'6 and 125 lbs, but have a fat butt and want to lose it. There are also a lot of health problems in my family, so I'm trying to not die before I'm 30. I'm just wearing my old Fila's for the moment, until I'm sure I'll stick with...

    Anyone make their own booze?

    I've recently picked up a new hobby, wine and beer making! I started last year when my MIL gave me some eldeberries off her bush. I had a ton of them, so I made jam, pie and wine! It was a real experience and I had fantastic help from the local wine store owner. The wine came out good I guess...

    artwork and website links?

    I do commissioned artwork, paintings, portraits, etc. Are new people allowed to post links to our websites (it's not quite finished yet) or photos of the art itself? I wasn't sure if there was a waiting period, or a specific forum, etc. Feel free to tell me no. I'm not easily upset

    Killing birds

    This is probably not possible, but does anyone know of any way to stop outdoor cats from catching and killing birds (and other critters)? At least once a day one of the outside cats kills a bird. Yesterday it was a baby robin, this morning the mother (while father screamed from the trees)...

    A deformed kitten - could be distrubing to some

    I had a stray cat show up and have kittens three months ago. The second kitten born was deformed. It's ears were far back on his skull and very low, head a bit round and it had no bottom jaw. Where the jaw should have been there was just an opening, to the esophagus I assume. It seemed like it...

    A long post about Tux and his pee-hole

    Okay, I anticipate this being long, but I'll try to sum up as best I can. Tuxedo came to us as a stray about 5 years ago. He was already neutered and super friendly with people, dogs and cats. Obviously someone's pet they kicked out. We could never understand why. He was and is a truly...
