I had to have my 14 year old 'holstein kitty' Tuxie PTS Saturday. She has not been right for the last couple weeks, but I have not been able to squeeze any time out of my schedule to get her to my regular vet. When she crawled into the shower with me Saturday morning and sat there, under the...

Just had to share, for those of you who may or may not have heard of "Two Lumps: The Adventures of Ebenezer & Snooch," a webcomic about a couple of Russian Blues. I have been a faithful follower for a couple years now, and their latest Christmas 'strip' is an actual live action shot of the kits...

Hi all!! I'm not usually one to ask for vibes, but I'm trying to learn to be better about asking for support when I need it. As you can see in my siggy, I'm now five months pregnant. The father and I are still on speaking terms, but there is no intention of co-habitating or marriage any time...

I have not done a search yet, but I just needed to vent a bit. All my critters are indoor/outdoor, always have been. I've never had trouble with fleas in the past, and I always attributed it to our harsh winters killing them off. Well, about two weeks ago I caught one on Cinnamon. Yes, I...

I just talked to my dad in MD, and one of his outdoor cats (abt 3 y/o) had an abcess from a fight. The vet has diagnosed Buttons with FeLV and FIV, and has recommended he be PTS. Dad hasn't got the heart to do it yet - he's administering antibiotics (in isolation) to treat the abcess and hoping...

I just discovered that the odor in my closet was NOT coming from the litterbox (I changed it first) but from a pair of leather cowboy boots that have been saturated in cat urine!!!!!!! I don't know if they will ever be free of the odor - I don't mind the discoloration, polish will take care of...

I am finding it increasingly difficult to bite my tongue on this subject, so i thought I would vent here, and perhaps get some ideas for coping with this better. My long-time friend, "June" (names changed to protect the offending parties) is having some difficulties with her son, "Bubba," 12...

OK, perhaps I'm just too tired, but I thought I'd lay this out for you ladies, single or not, to bounce the idea around and tell me I'm not crazy for totally overanalyzing every aspect of this. Me, 31, divorced two years from my HS 'sweetheart', lost my mom 4 mos ago, still not sure about the...

Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later. . . Mom's cats have always been indoor/outdoor, and have remained so by default, as Cinnamon has a doggie door to come and go as he pleases. Midnight, however, is primarily indoor, as she refuses to use the doggie door for her comings and goings...

So I went into my best friend's salon today to do the deed - drastic cut and subtle color. We discussed my photo choices from the magazine I'd purchased, and I put myself in her very capable hands. First step was the color - highlights and lowlights foiled in before an overall color was...

This is my tiny lil 5lb baby cat Bella. She is 9 yrs old (or so) and I adopted her from a no-kill shelter 16 months ago. She had been a resident there for nearly six years! (how no one fell in love with that face is beyond me!!) But now she has a furever home with me and my mom's pets. Please...

Bella just vomitted again - the second time in four days. I don't mind the occassional grass binge, and I understand a gorging fit every now and then, but they're becoming more regular among my crew. This, however, was altogether a different beast. Bella is the smallest of my kitties (and is...

OK, I've known that Montana is actually the 4th most seismically active State in the US, but until tonight I'd never understood why. At approx 10:09 pm MST, a 5.6 quake was reported about 90 miles from me (if that - I'll have to check the map for the overland distance) Which means there was a...

Apparently I have quite the hunting squad among my crew!! I've noticed Bella bringing in more and more insects these days - three grasshoppers in as many hours tonight!! And I saw Shadow with a finch of some sort yesterday morning. (I had also cleaned a few feathers out of the corners of the...

OK, I found another member here who has a pet name for her car, and I thought it would be interesting to find out how many others out there have given their cars a name, and/or a personality. Poll options will be appearing shortly. Please be sure to share your car's name!! I've always had a...

Well, the time has come to pass the torch, and I've selected Meish's meowmy, Beth, aka Ali012281 Now for the first few questions - I promise I'll take it easy on ya! 1) For the record, did this selection have anything to do with your current occupancy of my former domicile??? 2) How much...

I wish I'd bought that camera today!!!! I have a waterer in the family room for the pets, so I don't have to refill the bowl every two hours, and Bella was having a drink. Cinnamon came in from gallavanting in the back yard, and found her at the dish. Instead of just pushing in, her stood to...

Hey Howard, I tried to send you a PM but it bounced 'cause your inbox is full!!! (Geez, man, when are you going to be a Super Cat like me so you can litter your inbox as you please?? )

OK, I guess someone is trying to tell me something. Last Wed at 6am I was awakened by a call from a wrong number. This morning, at the precise moment my 6am alarm went off (I have an appt I must be dashing off to shortly) the SMOKE ALARMS went off!!!! They're all hard-wired and interconnected...

I'm just looking for advice on how to begin handling my late mother's affairs. I've retained a recommended attorney who specializes in estate law, and I've contacted my mother's long-time CPA (well, she did their taxes for several years) about the tax matters. I'm just AWASH in paperwork right...
