Does anyone remember SunLee? She was one of Hope's cats. I adopted her in 2009 after Hope passed away. It is with a heavy heart that I post this message of her peaceful passing in the night. Her health has been in decline since an episode of pneumonia last year that caused damage to her lungs...

About the hospital, what goes around comes around. They shut their doors a few days ago. The news reports are that two of the owners ripped off the third owner. That owner won a lawsuit, and rather than do the right thing, the two filed bankruptsy and left. No notice was given to employees or...

Thank you for the kind thoughts on Tucker. It helps. More on SunLee. She is a delightful kitty. She has a very "happy" personality. I don't think she has any concept that not everyone feels that way (animal or human). She seems to be smiling all the time. She snuggles with ZoZo or Bruiser at...

SunLee has finally adjusted, completely, to the household. Sorry for the lack of updates. I was computerless for a while. By October, she was moving freely about the house even with the dogs nearby. By November, she was sleeping on the bed, with the dogs and cats. One day I found her sleeping...

Sorry you have been feeling poorly. It might be helpful to check you temperature at the onset of chills and then again in an hour or so since chills and shaking often occur when fever begins. If your temp rises, it might help the MD sort it out since fever is more common to infection then panic...

First, sorry you have to go through this. No matter the circumstances, it is always painful to end a relationship. Now, my story. I came home from a long day at work to find the house mostly empty, as well as the bank account. He had recently talked me into consolidating my credit union account...

I'm glad you are going to the doctor. A coworker had a headache following the flu and was diagnosed with viral encephalitis. The good news is, she fully recovered and the treatment was time to let it run its course (few weeks). They have more antiviral drugs now, so maybe the time to recovery...

I'm sure your doctor mentioned water intake, but I will share this story. I knew someone who had low potassium problems for a while, lots of tests, no answers. When she landed in the ICU, it was discovered that she was drinking 5-7 liters of plain water each day because she thought more water...

Thanks, everyone, for the kind thoughts. I will check with the neurologist, and if no contraindications with current meds, I will start high dose B6 vits. Thanks, CatMom2Wires, for the suggestion. I have been home cooking food (to avoid additives and limit the variables) without improvement, so...

My dog, Tucker, had a seizure starting at 4:15 AM. It lasted 21 minutes! He has had a seizure disorder for almost a year but usually they last about 2 minutes. He has been to see two neurologists. The first neurologist said to watch him, no treatment! He is now on three medications and the...

RUN!!! If you don't, and choose to continue the relationship, do a background check ASAP. Look at criminal record (may not show if he was a juvenile) and financial situation. Also, google sociopath. But really, just RUN! FAST!!

I assume the rude woman's behavior was alcohol fueled. Can't reason with those people. Kudos to you for remaining professional. Could you suggest a policy change to pay in advance for parties with refund for timely cancellation?

Best wishes for a rapid and complete recovery!

I forgot Bruiser! My bad. I'd ask Bruiser how he stay so calm and centered.

I'd ask SunLee if she is happy. I'd ask ZoZo why he doesn't want his back touched. I'd ask Pacer and Joshua (cats who have crossed the bridge) who burglarized our house. This is a great thread!

I used to love malls when they had privately owned stores as well as chain stores. When they evolved to all chain stores, they became less interesting. I see logistical issues for malls as the baby boomers age. As more people develop chronic pain or illness, walking a huge mall and parking lot...

Do your pets hide in plain sight? I've noticed that my pets seem to chose places to sleep that match their coat color. SunLee, who is cream with biege points, prefers the counter with the ivory tile/biege grout. ZoZo, a dark seal point, lies on a throw with a pattern of brown and beige. Bruiser...

I think SunLee is feeling everyone's positive energy. She has made huge progress these last few days. She always had a sweetheart personality but was very shy at first. She made steady progress, but remained distant from the dogs. Today she was on the bed with the dogs for the first time.

Very funny! My cats hunt toy animals since they are inside only. One of my dogs fancies himself a "hunter/gatherer" though. He brings me avocados and live critters. Over the years he has presented me with countless possums, a squirrel, 2 flightless baby birds, and others. I always put the...

ZoZo came to me through Kitten Rescue. SunLee was from Siamese Rescue. Bruiser was an L.A. county shelter cat. I have had one or more cats all of my life. My elderly cat crossed the bridge last year and I was searching shelters and rescues for a cat that I "connected" with, preferably Siamese...
