    Vomiting, Diarrhea After Vaccination

    Sammie went for her annual checkup on Friday and last year following her vaccinations she was mildly upset...lethargic and a couple small bouts of vomiting. This year with an anti-inflammatory to help control that and her feline leukemia vaccination, she was really sick. Vomited for about 10...

    Wet Food

    Is there a decent wet food that is readily available at most grocery stores? Seems that I have never seen anyone on here talk about any of the commonly stocked foods being good. I feed Sammie dry kibble in the a.m. and wet in the evening to be able to get a good balance of water content plus...

    Thanks to this place, Sammie is Happy!

    Don't post much, but this is my holy grail for finding information to guide my life with my adored Sammie. I recently had an opportunity to go on a vacation of a lifetime and -- having had dogs all my life until my beautiful Samantha entered -- merely figured I would board her. Thank...

    Cat-Attraction??

    OK, brief history: Sammie has been here as an inside kitty for 15 months. She got spayed. Pre-Sammie, I had a dog who connected with a neighborhood cat. Max (RB dog) loved cats and would love to meet/greet with the n'hood cat when I took Max out. Max went to RB. Kitty somehow knew and stopped...

    Dessert?

    How often do you eat dessert? Me: almost never. The only times are usually when I am eating out with friends and we are tempted by something on the menu. We often share. I have never been a big lover of sweets, so just eating a meal is satisfying to me.

    Oops, Ouch! Da Bird!

    We were playing with Da Bird and Sammie gets really excited when Da Bird goes really fast and does something like figure 8's around her. Suddenly the pole accidentally bonked her on her sweet little head! I felt like OWIE - guilty, but she seemed oblivious and continued to want to play. Have...

    Neighbor Cat Tried to Spray Sammie

    Sammie was out on the lanai and the neighbor cat, who occasionally has visited with Sammie thru the screen without any events occurring, suddenly turned away and tried to spray her. I hollered and scared them both so she didn't get hit by the spray. I picked her up and checked her all over and...

    May I Talk About A Dog Here? It's A Cat Story Too

    My beautiful Max was a shelter dog that we adopted when he was about 9 months old (estimated). His pic is at the bottom of this post (he is an RB boy as of the summer of 2006...he lived to be 14). His history was unknown, because the town we lived in had a 'don't ask don't tell' policy and drop...

    Do Your Cats Go Outdoors?

    Sammie does not. I live in Florida, and where I live, there are conservation areas right across the street...areas where there is natural habitat, not permitted for development and no building or clearing permitted. We have raccoons, alligators, snakes, occasional wild hogs and who knows what...

    Do They Come When Called?

    Sammie does almost all the time, even when she is out on the lanai (her favorite place). The times she does not come are very few and far between.

    Please Indulge Me

    I'm fairly new to TCS (joined 3/1), and I've been trying to contribute and make myself known. I realize many of you have connections and know each other either virtually or in 3D. That being said, I would like to say that pre-Sammie (I brought her home in January 2007 as a kitten), I was a dog...

    Cat Fight!

    This morning while I was getting ready for work and Sammie was on the lanai, I heard a terrible commotion. Turns out there is a very sweet looking orange and white cat on the other side of the screen and apparently the two of them don't like the looks of one another. Orange cat would run at the...

    Her Behavior Is Definitely Changing

    When I first brought Sammie home at 3 months, I would carry her around like a baby (I still do that when I pick her up and she seems to love it). As she approached a year, she stopped being responsive to me and seemed extremely independent...ignoring me, not responding when I talked to her, etc...

    Guess Who Is Babysitting Sammie?

    The Cat Sitter DVD!! I put it in the dvd player and set it to loop and when I left for work she was sitting on the bed, watching the parakeets hop around and listening to them chirp! Have you ever done a video/dvd FOR your cat?

    My Weather...Your Weather

    This Florida gal is not very happy to report that the last two evenings I have had to turn on the a/c. The days have been beautiful and fairly low humidity, with lots of breezes, but the houses are HOT. I hate to say it, but I think Florida's Spring might be... over.

    It's A Standoff and She's Calling for Backups!

    Sammie (indoor kitty) gets her outdoor fix by being on the lanai. I live in a villa, so the back yard is nearly non-existent, however...it has a great huge hedge separating my villa from the back yard neighbor and I also have a fairly good size magnolia tree and an oak. So, there is a squirrel...

    I Left Her - How Dare I!!

    Sammie's been with me about 14 months and I've only had to leave her overnight on three different occasions...most recently this weekend. She is so sweet...does not want me out of her sight. If I am in another room, it is meow, meow, meow, meow! Like, Mommy, where are you? I missed you and I...
