honestly, URI had crossed my mind, but at the same time, I was like, "well... the only reason you're thinking that is because thats what most people jump on directly...." I really don't know many of the symptoms related to URI's... The vet I usually take any cats I'm currently housing is out...

My kitten shrimp, whom I've been looking after for about 3 and a half weeks now, and is still very young, possibly aroung 8 - 9 weeks old(I helped rescue her and then fell for her and decided I'd sign over my freedom to her).... The day before yesterday, I noticed her eyes were watering quite a...

Wow, its nice to be so insulted. And just to put your mind at ease, my tortoise was put in the care of a co-worker who has many tortoises and has the ability to let them live outside in his back yard. Would it change your tone at all to know that my lamp was a UVB bulb and I also had a 5 inch...

I'll check on that tomorrow at Walmart as well. I've had a lot of experience treating worms... and as long as I'm only taking care of one cat, I've gotten pretty good at medicating it with over-the-counter stuff. Although theres no way I'd even try it on Shrimp... if I HAD to guess, I'd say...

i think the its the vibrations of it... she hasn't really shown any reason for me to think she's got a hearing problem. I actually was once the exact same way. To help myself sleep while in college I'd just crank up some really deep atmospheric trance, or drum&bass techno... the dorms had...

although when I mention that mine got along together, thats merely based on interactions... you are right that its best they be separated, if nothing else than because of disease... They usually don't make adults sick, but they do have salmonella that can be dangerous to smaller children and...

mine never had any complications with each other. And in theory, captivity in itself isn't exactly good for torts. But, if you're going to keep one as a pet like I did, an aquarium is generally only bad for them because the owner knows nothing about them. Sand, cedar chips, gravel, etc...

and why is it anytime I mention to soon-to-be cat owners that they enjoy a particular music genre or artist, I get the "o...k........" reaction?? As if they're trying to tell me I'm not all there mentally...

Just an update on Bash. I just received another cat (or I should say, KITTEN...of extremely young age) to take care of. I work with a woman who adopts out cats that have been found/saved/rescued, etc... Well, I got her here, and let her out of the carrier, and Bash literally INSTANTLY, let...

Hey, I actually joined several days ago, but I've been so busy I never got around to introducing myself. I'm finch, I'm a graphics artist/digital photographer. I'll take in cats from time to time that need help, and currently I'm planning to keep one I've got who I've named Shrimp. She's a...

The majority of my life I've also taken care of turtles and tortoises. I just thought I'd throw this info out there to anyone thinking of getting one who also has a cat. I had a small russian tortoise named Steve for a while, during which time, my girlfriend had two cats (brother and sister)...

I recently got a new kitten, Shrimp, who I'm currently trying to keep alive and healthy because she's so young. (Was found dodging traffic ) She can be anywhere in my apartment, and the instant I put on some Paul Oakenfold on my computer's 5.1surround, she hauls tale up the stairs and will...

I really wish I had plans involving buying a house in the next 10 years... I move around a bit just because my profession as a graphics artist and photographer allow me to. I've always taken care of cats because my apartments are big enough to, but I'd never want to try and make a dog learn to...

the white one on the first page: some friends of mine have a young pit with its ears clipped very short, and it looks just like that in the face, but I really don't know much about dog breeds. (posted that one a bit too late, sorry...lol)

she's scheduled to see the vet this week. I was just a little concerned about the time between now and then. All we have here is PetSmart as far as supply stores. I don't typically support that particular chain, but if its the only place I can get that then I suppose I'll have to. I'm not...

I posted a few nights ago in regards to the near-feral cat I'm trying to domesticate. Well, it seems I found the solution, or maybe I should say, the solution found me. Just yesterday, a baby kitten was also put into my care. The next-to-feral cat INSTANTLY warmed up to her, AND me... He...

What kind of food is it?? I only ask because I've seen this in another cat before. Although not only would she scarf it all down and usually puke, but it also gave her very... lets just say.. not-so-solid bowel movements. I want to say she was about 9 or 10 weeks old when this happened...

First off, Laurie (if I may), I've been building computers for myself since age 13, AND, I'm a designer for a living... and I LITERALLY would have NEVER thought to build something like that using nothing but rubbermaid and tupperware products. That is by far one of the coolest things I've seen...

I really don't know all that much about cats' interactions with each other... most of what little I know is more health based. I'm new to this site as well, but from what I've gathered, there are some really knowledgeable individuals on here. I've already received a great deal of help in...

Thank you very much... I hadn't even considered the space differential as being the driving force here... Unfortunately, my apartment doesn't really have "rooms" exactly.. its a 2 story fully open loft (which probably makes the space thing even worse on him)... Why we graphics artists...
