So, as many of the people on this board do, I recently started volunteering with an Animal Rescue group. It's small and local, and I'm just getting into the swing of things. One of the things they asked me, as their youngest member, to do is find places to advertise online for the one poor...

Ishy is Noodle because that is what her brain is made of. This started, I should say, with my brother's dog, Cassie. She became many things- 'Casaroo Jack', 'Casamander' and finally 'Casserole.' And, as any good chef who is my brother might know, Casseroles are made of noodles. And Ishy and...

Aw, it sounds like you have a great brood there. Please share pictures! Welcome to the boards!

Ooh, I have a 2007 Madza 3 in the Phantom Purple. It is a dream of a car. Enjoy it!

Wow, I'm jealous. When Ishy got her first shot, she yelled like a banshee. The vet told me that Torties are often drama queens, though. You should have heard her bellow when she got some fluids at the ER.

Yesterday Ishy's other mommy, my roommate, and I went to Petco and bought more toys than we could afford. We also (barely) resisted a sweet ginger boy called Pretzel. So we get these toys home, present them to her, and go about our business. Later that night, I'm cooking and the roomie is...

When I was growing up we had Gampy, which was allegedly short for Gabriella, but who was really named after my Grandparent's restaurant. Then there was Sargent Pepper, who was a black and white scamp. Called him Sarge. With Ishy.. I had recently made a friend who insisted that cats needed...

I don't do her, but Ishy loves to jump on me in the mornings and give my stomach a good knead. I don't think she could stay still long enough for me to massage her.

I just watched this while Ishy was cuddling on my lap. As soon as they stopped chirping at each other, she started trying to talk to them. "Guys? Guys? I wanna play!"

I had cats as a little girl, but my mom and brother are dog people, so we've had those for a long time. I knew I was a cat person when I picked up my baby at the adoption event and she crawled up my arm and snuggled into my neck. I never had a chance.

Thanks for all the wishes and vibes, guys. The Noodle (my personal nickname for her, since that is, I fear, what her brain may be made of) has eased up on the grooming, and I started giving her a little bit of a hairball remedy in the mornings. Oddly, it's her favorite thing since a coworker...

Hello, all. I'm Lauren, and my baby is a 7-month old Tortie called Ishkara, Ishy for short. I've had her since she was 3 months old and 1.5 lbs. You can see how small she was here: Just look how huge her tag was! This is a more recent pic: And here is why she is a spoiled baby: Honestly...

Thank you for all the responses and vibes. It was also pointed out to be that the wheezing may have to do with an irritated throat due to the breathing tube she got during the operation. The "Internet never lies" part was meant to be a joke. There's been many a time when WebMD has diagnosed me...

Okay, I'm new so I'll give some background: I have a seven-month-old kitten who recently ate a foam earplug and had to have surgery to remove it from her intestine. I feel like the worst pet owner ever because of this, and there is a fine chance that I'm overreacting. Since the operation (about...
