I picked up my 2nd ragdoll on Friday night. Monday morning my first ragdoll seemed ill, I took him to the vet...anyway, I ended up calling the breeder just to give her a heads up thinking it might have originated there. She didn't blast me, but I ended up feeling pretty bad. She also apparently...

We brought our new kitty Opus home Friday. We seperated him but the boys were playing under the door together in a matter of hours so we went ahead and threw them together and they got along wonderfully. This morning I noticed Simon acting oddly and when he threw up I made an immediate call to...

My aunt and her family recently adopted a very petite kitten from the local shelter. He looks to be a siamese mix with very pretty blue points. My problem is that my Aunt has some very old fashioned ideas about animal care. The idea at present is to see how the kitten does. If he doesn't...

Ok, we're hopefully buying a house. We're supposed to be closing around the end of November, and plan on having finished our move by the 2nd week in December. Now for the question. We're supposed to take a kitten at the end of November. He'll be around 12 weeks at that point. I'm worried about...

Well I'm already sweating the right thing to do at Christmas. With the kids not putting up a tree is pretty much unthinkable, I would be kicked out of the Mommy union! I am concerned about how to do it safely. I already plan on keeping my breakable ornaments off the tree, and we'll be buying...

I was going to send Hissy a picture for the kids and cats bonding thing. I got two of my Charlie and Simon. If you folks could please give me your opinions on which one to enter? Simon is actually giving Charlie kisses in this one.

We've got a border collie mix that at this point stays outside 90% of the time. She really seems to prefer it as she has so much more room to run. We guess her age to be about 8 years, she was adopted as an adult from a shelter. We're hopefully going to be buying a much more spacious home and...

My husband and I are in the process of shopping for a home. We went to a mortgage company to get pre-approved. We're there with the twins, and the lady tells us she's going to make copies of all our relevant paperwork. We ask if it would be possible for us to come back in a couple of hours for...

My oldest 2 children(7, almost 6) have expressed an interest in volunteering at our local animal shelter. This is not a passing fancy, it's been an ongoing question for a couple of months now. While I am touched that my kids want to make a difference I'm worried about thier mental and emotional...

Simon has a couple of scratching posts which he uses, but he seems really entranced with my computer chair. We've got one of the cheapo 20 dollar jobs from walmart with the plastic cover on the piece connecting the back and the seat. He LOVES scratching that plastic bit. It doesn't really bother...

My daughter was eating one of those little apple sauce cups. She got up to go the the bathroom and when she went back into the kitchen she called for me. Simon was on the table with his face shoved into that little cup. He usually leaves people food strictly alone. I'm assuming the couple of...

I have a question and I'm going to do my best not to be rude in asking. My uncle married a very nice German woman who has now been in the family for 15 years. My question is about what is polite in other countries. My aunt has an obsession with how much things cost. She has no qualms about...

We're still in the process of switching Simons food. I swear he's picking through it to get at the new stuff. Is this probably my imagination? And if not should I just finish the switch 100%? We're at 50/50.

Hope it works...if not I'll just delete it and nobody will be the wiser! Mwah ha ha ha!!

Ok, I'm really bored and can't go to sleep. How many Heidi's are there on this board? I think I know of 4. I'm a Heidi and haven't ever seen this many Heidi's. I think I've met(in person) 1 other Heidi in my life. Just curious.

I was sitting here watching my son crawl down the hallway getting ready to get up and grab him when Simon streaked by, circled Charlie(my son), hid behind the laundry basket then jumped a foot straight up. Hmm I'm thinking what is this? Well, Charlie is now cackling like crazy and is going to...

LOL, was at my local Sam's Club the other day and they had some yummy smelling candles on sale pretty cheap so I couldn't resist. One is apple cinnamon, the other pumpkin pie. I was burning the pumpkin pie one earlier and Simon was running all over looking for the pumpkin! Poor cat went from one...

We adopted a cat from our local shelter 2 weeks ago, she became seriously ill in just a few days. I took her to the vet, who said it was hopeless and that I should either have her put down, or return her to the Humane Society. I called the Humane Society as an alternative and they insisted on...

I'm in the midst of reading Mark Twain's autobiography which is actually really amusing! I borrowed it from my sister thinking it would be a "brain book" but it is soooo funny. Thought I would post some of his more interesting cat names for a chuckle. -Stray Kit -Fraeulein -Cleveland...

I know that you are not supposed to play with a kitten with your hands, but I'm wondering if I have a special case. My husband loves to play with Simon using his hands. Last night I told him that was giving Simon bad habits(for the 1,000th time) and he said that he didn't think so. Simon doesn't...
