    High Calcium Level... Please don't let it be cancer

    we took spivey (9) to the vet this week because I had noticed that she's been drinking more water than usual over the last month or so. she had a full exam, doctor felt nothing unusual and she didn't seem dehydrated (skin snapped back well, eyes looks good). the vet just called back with her...

    Do I dare venture into Fancy Feast territory?

    our oldest (spivey), is 9. she is a dry-only eater, and has proven very resistant to all attempts to get her to eat canned food. i've tried many. she will eat 'real' meat, such as chicken, ground beef, ham (i know ), as a matter of fact, she LOVES meat. but on the canned food... nuh uh...

    Dr. Bronner's soap safe to use AROUND cats?

    I like to be as 'green' as possible, and have been cleaning around the house with baking soda, vinegar and water for as long as I can remember. I feel good about the natural aspects of my cleaning regimen, but must admit that I feel I could do better with a little boost of soap. Oh okay, I...

    Does anyone else have a cat that sits like this?

    Does anyone else have a cat that sits like this? You would think I caught him mid-action, like maybe he was getting down off the couch, but no. Marvin sits like this, on sofa ends, on stairs, any bi-level surfaces he can find, sometimes for 20 minutes or more at a time. haha! so goofy!

    Please give me some hope! Vaccination Lump

    My 2 year old kitty was vaccinated for rabies with an adjuvanted killed virus. Two weeks after, I discovered a small lump at the vaccination site (rear right leg). I'm aware of the dangers of VAS, but got enough feedback that said it will most likely go down on it's own in time, that we...
