Okay, so it's official. I will schedule my flight out as late as possible so I can go to the zoo. Other than the zoo (and steak), what is there to do? Does anyone know if the casino is even worth checking out? The only casinos I've ever been to are Mohegan Sun and Foxwood's. I like poker...

My boyfriend and I will be in Omaha for a week in mid-August. I'm going for work, and he's tagging along. I just switched jobs, so no paid time off for a few more months. He's getting out of the military, so he's not going to have any paid time off when he starts his fed gov't job, either...

I've noticed that some cats have dirty butts, and some cats don't. Don't tell Connie, but her butt is less than fresh a lot of the time. She's Miss Priss in this house. Lucy, who is a combination of a velociraptor and some sort of demolition machine, always has a perfectly clean butt. There...

sailahara, good for you! Kittens are umm...interesting, lol. They're also much easier than puppies, so if you've been through that, this should be a breeze. Shadow is probably too young to be expected to go through several rooms to find a litter box, especially if he's been carried to the...

I won't vaccinate my 10yo who lives on Prednisolone (no one seems to be able to decide if it's IBD, asthma, both, or something totally different). My vet won't give her the shot, so I can get a waiver if necessary. I have to vaccinate my 2yo (Lucy). Lucy is a biter. I live in an apartment...

Spines are free, and everyone has one. Use yours. People are not good friends if they damage your stuff and don't even offer to replace/repair it. Those people are called, at best, irresponsible/inconsiderate, and, at worst, mooches and users. You've got someone freeloading in your house...

A little info on smoky black It's not always obvious to the naked eye if a horse is smoky black, so you get nice little surprises like a palomino foal out of two "black" horses. Cute little yellow baby you've got there! My mom would be in love (her horse of a lifetime was a palomino QH, and...

I'm thinking the OP is just frustrated and hasn't yet been "initiated" into the Crazy Cat Lady club, so his tone comes across a little umm...harsh. It sounds like he's well on his way from being cat-hating to cat-tolerant to cat-loving (my ex-husband went through this, and there really should...

You could do what I do...get some ferrets...buy an expensive two-level FerretNation cage...periodically close off one of the levels for cleaning. If your cat is anything like mine, he will try to live in the ferret cage and forget all about the bed. In all seriousness, it really does depend...

I have two ferrets, and I adore them! If I could have fifty more, I would. They are nature's little practical joke. We haven't decided if they're all born brain damaged or just brutally insane, lol. The link below has old pics of my two right after we got the little girl. She's teeny in...

As terrible as it sounds, I just stopped offering dry food pretty much cold turkey to get Connie on wet food. I simply became veryveryvery frustrated with her vomiting. She was a total dry addict who puked all the time, even on daily prednisolone. If she went 18 hours without eating, I'd let...

Sometimes, even a cheapo ring is still dangerous, depending on the work you do. I'd rather have a DH with all his fingers than one who tried to appease me by wearing his ring at all times. OP, don't worry about it. I lost my ring a few months after getting married. Didn't change anything...

Thanks, everyone. I'll talk to the vet about what procedures we might be able to do while she's under for the dental. Crazy, her x-rays haven't shown any changes, according to the vet.

Laurie, She has been seen by two different cat-only practices, along with a referral hospital that only has specialists. At this point, the only thing anyone seems to be willing to suggest (and somewhat grudgingly, depending on who you ask) is endoscopy and/or biopsies. Every single one of...

sharky, So, you prefer the NV Instinct to Evo and Wellness, right? The NV Instinct is the Nature's Variety we use here. I always forget that Prairie even exists, because it's not carried at the store I use. I've also used their raw food with Lucy. That's pretty doable, since Queen Connie...

sharky, any brand recommendations? I've seen them, but wasn't quite comfortable with the idea of an ingredient list that simply says, for example, "chicken, water for processing". Technically, a boneless, skinless chicken breast is 100% chicken. So is an entire carcass, ground up, and stuffed...

Hi, all! Haven't posted in some time, but wanted to get some opinions on Connie. She's a nine-year old Siamese who coughs and vomits when she's not on prednisolone. This has been going on with her since I got her on Labor Day last year. My vet says she doesn't necessarily present like a cat...
