Hey everyone! I just have a quick question for those of you who supplement with salmon oil...how much do you give each cat, in terms of milligrams? I am considering starting my collie on salmon oil capsules because her coat is just not in as a good a condition as it should be, and she has a...

Yesterday I brought home a pumpkin, the first one the kitties have ever seen. I couldn't help but snap some pictures of them inspecting the "foreign object." Molly: Hmmm, smells interesting. Molly: Wonder if it's edible... Max: Well, how does it taste? Maggie: It looks sort of funny to me...

Just thought I'd share two totally random, useless, and quite unrelated bits of news about my kittys this week. A couple of days ago, I came into the kitchen and found Max and Maggie intently watching the wood trim next to the patio door. A moment later, out shot this litte bitty skink (a type...

The other day I had a coupon for the new Friskies Indoor Selects, and decided to buy some for my 3 musketeers just to change up thier rotation a bit. This morning I opened the Beef and Barley flavor, and noticed that it smelled alot different than any other food they've had before, I guess...

In fact, mine often sleep in their toy basket when it is empty...but I just walked past the "cats' room" noticed the basket, which I had turned upside down to prop open the door, sticking up funny on one side. Looking closer, I saw two legs and a tail sticking out... Molly's legs and tail, to be...

This is where I found Molly sleeping this morning, and actually, she is still there. Apparently this is a good way to sleep if you don't want to be bothered! Anybody in there? Maggie inspects the situation, but quickly decides there is really nothing to see here. So, Molly continues her nap...

Maybe it's because I gave them lots of baths at an early age, or maybe it's just because they're goofy...but my three kitties have developed a great fascination with water. I know lots of you have cats who also love playing in/watching water, so you probably have similar stories of your...

I have been looking through my kitty pics and found a bunch of my three in funny sleeping positions. I thought it would be fun to see everyone's pics of their kitties sleeping is odd or unusual poses! Here are just a few of mine, many of which were taken when they were just little babies...

Now that spring has arrived, we have a few bugs hanging out on the patio door every day, which means that the kitties have a new passtime...jumping party! Max is especially obsessed with catching the bugs on the other side of the glass or screen, and it is quite entertaining just to sit and...

Has anyone read Dr. Pitcairn's book Natural Health for Dogs and Cats? I read on the dog forum I belong to that he has alot of good recipes for raw or homecooked diets for dogs and cats, and I'm wondering if any of you raw feeders have used them. I have been having alot of problems with my cats...

I haven't been around TCS much lately, and here's one reason why... Last Monday afternoon we adopted a sweet doggie named Brenna. She is a purebred rough collie, almost 6 years old, and a former breeding dog. She was retired from breeding and purchased by some people who expected her to be a...

Molly is usually the first one up and at her food, so this morning when hubby went to get the cats for breakfast, I was surpised when she didn't come. She was all curled up in the cave part of the cat tree, so he coaxed her out and carried her into the kitchen. He set her down in front her dish...

Has anyone else been experiencing problems viewing pics from Photobucket accounts? I've noticed over the last few days that any pics I try to view that are linked from Photobucket, whether on TCS or even my own blog, are taking an absolute eternity to load. Pics from flickr or other online photo...

I just wanted to pop in and tell everyone how much I TCS! I am so thankful that I found this forum shortly after getting my furbabies. Everyone here has been so friendly and helpful, just like a big, happy, online family! This has been made all the more obvious to me as I recently joined a...

Since joining this forum, as well as a similar dog forum, I've been curious about feeding a raw diet to all my animals (once we get a dog, that is!). My concern, however, is mainly the cost. My DH is a minister, and we are on a pretty tight budget. We spend as little as possible on our own food...

My furbabies are mad at me today. I've decided they are getting old enough that shedding is becoming an issue, and hairballs are innevitable if I don't start brushing them on a regular basis. Plus, it has been a long time since I gave them all a bath--their favorite passtime, of course! So, I...

DH and I are looking to adopt a dog or puppy this spring, and I'm trying to do my homework ahead of time (like I should have done before getting our kitties! ) We are uncertain as to whether we will get a young pup or an adult dog, but we have narrowed our search to a few dog breeds: Collie...

I have a small online shop where I sell handsewn and crocheted items, and I'm thinking about expanding/starting a line of handmade cat toys. But it often takes alot of time and creativity...and testing with my own cats...before I can come up with new items that really excite them. So I wanted to...

I've read alot of threads recommending lots of different things to treat hairballs, and I just ended up confused. I'm certain Max has a hairball, as last night he walked around hacking for a few minutes, but never threw up. I know my 3 groom each other alot, so I'm not really surprised. I just...

It seems that the kitties have decided I look bored and need more housework to do! So, they have taken to making messes at night that I cannot possibly avoid cleaning up the next morning... Wednesday morning I walked into their "bedroom" and found little bits of soiled litter on the floor...
