As if I needed more encouragement to adopt another cat... I mean, this is a great thing they're doing, but I've been trying to convince myself in the OTHER direction for awhile now.  But now that I could adopt a cat for half the fee...this is probably the wrong group to ask, but please...

I must say that I am VERY pleased with this tree.  The total cost for the tree and shipping was just under $60.  It's about three feet tall and quite sturdy.  Even 14-pound McGee can jump on up without so much as a wobble.  They're alternating between the tree, running around the house chasing...

http://www.noob.us/humor/cat-wake-up/ Hope you enjoy!  :)  The rest of the Simon's Cat videos are totally funny and I'm sure many of you will relate.

I visited a friend who has a cockatiel recently and absolutely fell in love.  I never really considered myself much of a bird person before, but he was so sweet and he whistled a few tunes.  I've been reading up on them and the more I do, the more I want one for myself.  The one topic I can't...

I really shouldn't torture myself by looking at the adoptable cat list on my local Rescue League's website...but I was doing it today and have about five tabs open to different cats I'd love to have. But I doubt I could even take on one more cat right now. My finances aren't the greatest, and...

Today is my dog's 10th birthday. He lives with my parents, but he's my dog. He chose me as a puppy out of his other seven siblings. Ten years. That's a long time. I was only 13 when we first met. He was only 2 months old. It's a day I'll never forget. I wish I had digital copies of...

So at least twice now, Cosette has pooped and/or peed on my bed. The first time, I didn't even notice until I was just about ready to crawl into bed. It was normal-looking stool and TWO puddles of pee. I was livid, but I did not yell or anything. It was far too late for anything like that...

McGee has decided today is the start of Occupy Lap. I so don't want to get up and get ready for work. Can I just call in and say my cat has me trapped in a sea of warm cuddles and purrs?

Seems like everybody is out tonight except for me. I could go out -- I have a couple invites. I still also have on jeans and my bra, so that's half the battle. I just don't feel like going out that much tonight. But at the same time, I'm finding myself very bored here at home...

So maybe this is a silly thing to be celebrating, but I just had to share! Last night while everyone was winding down for the night, McGee was already snoozing on the fleece blanket I keep folded at the end of my bed. Cosette had been camping out under the bed for awhile, but soon jumped up...

Cosette's coat has always had a fair amount of dandruff, ever since I first got her. I chalked it up at first to a poor diet and stress from being in a shelter. I asked my vet about it at her initial exam, and she agreed with my conclusion. She said diet played the biggest role in the...

So my two babies both are thriving on Blue Buffalo's dry indoor adult cat formula. McGee, at 14 pounds, gets a total of 3/4 cup per day (1/4 and 1/8 cup twice a day). Cosette, at a healthy 7 pounds, gets 1/2 cup per day (1/4 cup twice a day). They both drink a fairly decent amount on their...

Well, I'll give you guys the short version... Two years ago this November, I met the greatest guy ever. He was in the Navy ROTC program at the university. We dated for a little over a year. He graduated in the summer and left for more Navy school mid-November (2010). Thinking ahead to how...

(Forgive my full trash bin, heh.) Not sure what they were looking at, but it must've been pretty captivating!

Of a freshly-made bed with freshly-washed and air-dried sheets (because it's BEAUTIFUL here today). I'm watching you, ya young whippersnappers! Don't you dare set foot on my lawn! My handsome boy. <3 He was rolling over while trying to lick his chest. What a nut!

Why is it so freaking difficult to find a decent place I can afford that will allow two cats that aren't declawed but use Soft Paws?! I just got off the phone with a place that was absolutely perfect until I asked if they would accept Soft Paws as an alternative to their declaw-only policy...

Cosette had been showing symptoms of a typical kitty cold they get from the shelter. At first it just seemed viral, but lately she developed eye discharge and seemed to not be improving much. I took her to the vet today who put her on liquid antibiotics and medicated eye drops. She made both...

EDIT: I've never seen a cat quite this color. Can any coat experts out there identify? She definitely has tiger stripes, but is multi-colored -- blacks, browns, gold, even red tints. The pictures truly don't do her justice. Whatever she is, she's gorgeous and I love her. ~~~~~~~ I...

Sorry to have sort of fallen off the face of the earth for awhile there. I've been in a local production of "The Producers" and it's eaten most of my free time since I adopted McGee back in late July. The most important bit of information is that I adopted another kitty on September 20. I...

Not sure if this is where this thread should go, so if a mod moves it, I'll totally understand! I've been browsing through the list of adoptable pets on the Animal Rescue League's website and keep coming back to this female torti cat named Scarlett. She sounds like a total sweetheart and has...
