    Really Gnocchi?

    Gnocchi, our youngest and only female is a terror. She has her 10+lb brothers quaking in fear of her temper tantrums. She screeches and flys at them,claws out when they won't play or they try to eat what she feels is more than their fair share. She then expects them to be happy to cuddle her...

    My mom is gone.....

    My mom passed away this past Saturday. It was a shock, because despite having terminal cancer we thought we still had some time left with her. We believe she had a stroke caused by a blood clot following a procedure she had done a week ago. I have sat suspended in disbelief and the grief is...

    Vibes for a successful spay

    So Gnocchi, our little diva, goes in her for her spay tomorrow morning. Im always apprehensive about any kind of surgery and this is pretty major. I hate that wee have to leave her overnight, I know its for the best. It worries me that she might miss us, or feel discarded (silly of me huh?) I...

    How many shots?

    So Gnocchi went to the vet today, things went well. She got the second in her series of three shots of the FVRCP. I was told to have her back in 3 weeks for her third and final shot in the series. When she is old enough she will get her rabies and then her spay. The vet asked me about other...

    Kitten meal time...

    Gnocchi (the newest feline family member) has reached 2 pounds!!! YAY this may not seem like much, but when we got her home a few weeks ago, she was bony and pretty sickly looking. She eats alongside her brothers and pretty much holds her own at mealtime. My question? Is it ok to feed them all...

    Cornish Rex-anyone owned by one of these beauties?

    I am in love with the looks and personality of these elegant cats. No surprise there seeing as I am owned by Sphynx cats. I would just like to know if anyone here has any experience with this breed? I have seen them at shows and cuddled kittens, but I wonder what they are like to have at home

    Zee will not eat quality canned...grah!!!!!

    I have been trying for what seems like forever to get my nakeds switched to higher quality canned foods. Yes I admit, they were Friskies junkies I know its pretty much garbage, but it was wet food and they would gobble it up. I have bought just about every brand, flavor, texture.....Zee turns...

    Benebac

    Does anyone think its odd that a rescue group has never heard of this stuff? Having been heavily involved in small animal rescue, this stuff was a staple for the medicine chest. Maybe it is a vet preference? I am sure there are tons of other probiotics out there.

    UGH why all the fish?

    So I am trying to wean my Sphynx gang off of grains. They dont really need them and I feel over time they will be healthier. The issue I am having is everything is so full of fish in one form or another. My one boy will turn his nose up every single time when fish is in the dish. I know there...

    Coccidia and Gardia(sp?)

    So we went to see the kitten we thought we would be bringing home today We get there (50 miles one way) and she was a complete mess. She had been bathed because of very runny stool and was dehydrated. Of course the rescue took her straight away to see a vet. I barely saw her tiny face =( They...

    TOTW canned

    I recently purchased a case of this brand and was wondering if anyone knows much about it? My cats love the dry version, so I figured this might be a hit as well. I ordered it from Aamazon (thanks to whomever suggested doing that!!!) so it will not be here for a few days. Any comments?

    New kitten vs sneaky Sphynx pack

    So we are adopting a new baby this weekend. She is an 8 week old siamese mix, extra cute. My issue will be the stealthy tubby gang of naked cats that reside with us LOL They love to eat and I have no doubt kitten food will be irrisistable. I want the new baby to get all the nutrition she needs...
