    Tornado.......ever been in one? Are you afraid of storms?

    By far the freakiest thing I have ever seen is a flood. When I lived in San Antonio/New Braunfels area of Texas, there was this rain system that kept getting caught in the middle of wind patterns. to where the same system just rotated in circles around San Antonio for days. Nothing would knock...

    Please help--how to keep adult cat from kitten's food?

    I'm going through the same thing! Only with my cats, it's like the grass is always greener- the 2 adult cats love the kitten food, and the kitten wants the big cat food! When I asked about this before, the only real solution people suggested for me was not to free feed for the time being...

    Tornado.......ever been in one? Are you afraid of storms?

    I've been through three. Once I was driving to Dallas from Austin, on I35, and in a small town, Hillsboro, there was one only a few miles west of me! That was very scary because at the time, you couldnt see anything! It was dark green everywhere and SOLID rain and hail you couldnt see past...

    Gardening: my other obsession

    OOH! I love gardening too! I'm very new at it. My stepmother has VERY green thumbs. Their place is gorgeous, you'd think she hired landscape design people, but she's done it all herself. So that inspired me. Last year she sent me home with some beautiful hanging baskets and I promptly...

    How a Cat Gets Hair on 16 Pairs of Pants At Once

    LOL! That is so funny. It should be on a greeting card or something! I know what you mean, though. I dont own anything without cat hair on it. There are even places my cats have never been- like the trunk of my car- and there is cat hair!!! I just don't even fight it anymore.

    Ever made a big move?

    Great inputs and thanks for all the well wishes! I think what we may do is research 5 or 6 places and then narrow it down to 2, and then visit those places to see which fits best. So far I still think I would like NW the best. It seems to have all the qualities I appreciate most in a city...

    Alternative to cat-nip?

    My two cats didnt start responding to catnip until much later, like around 5 or 6 mos. Now they love it. LOVE it. I've added a kitten recently and you can tell the smell strikes him somehow, but its not quite the same effect as the other two.

    Ever made a big move?

    I have lived in Texas all my life. I've lived in Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Around two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Malignant Melanoma, and has been battling that all this time. Sadly, the cancer has been getting more aggressive and it looks like there isn't a whole...

    Uh-Oh.... Mosquitoes!

    From one of the websites you sent.... "....Humans are an aberrant host for heartworms. Basically, what this means is that the microfilaria (baby heartworms) are transferred to humans and they try to follow their normal lifecycle but can't, because they are in the wrong host. This does not...

    Who kisses their babies on the lips?

    normally i kiss the on the bridge of their nose, because that is my favorite part of a cat face anyway, but every now and then one of them is being exceptionally sweet and i sneak a quick peck on the lips. i just make sure they dont smell like litter, indicating where they have just been and...

    matted hair

    I wouldnt try cutting the hair if it is so close to the skin. I have a Maine Coon with very long chest hair, and he had gotten the worst mat EVER under his little armpits. And it was right up on his skin. I tried once to cut out a mat, and it was the worst thing i could have done. My...

    Uh-Oh.... Mosquitoes!

    I live in Texas, and it's that time of year again. The humidity is getting worse and so are the mosquitoes! I have three indoor cats, and although they never go outside, sometimes as people are going in and out- as careful as we try to be- mosquitoes get inside the house. I have had three...

    Iams or Science Diet

    My cats have had both, and disliked Iams Dry. Science Diet was okay, but the morsels were too big and hard for my smaller cat to eat. I felt sorry for her. It would take her several mins to break up the morsel and eat it. Now they are all on Royal Canin and they love it.

    What kind of sweetner do you use?

    I like to use stevia when I can. It's an organic sweetener that you can find in health stores or other stores that focus on selling whole or organic foods. I think its the best because it is actually 100% "sweetener" free. Its just a pure and natural herb that has no trace of aspartame...

    Dilemma regarding declawing. Desperately need advice

    Wow, this really is one of those cases of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Normally, my automatic response is a firm "no" when I am asked about if it is ok to declaw a cat, but I believe that if a majority of people were in your shoes, they would decide the same thing. Declawing, done...
