Hey all, So.. Toby had yet another UTI, so the vet opted to do an ultrasound. As we suspected, he has bladder stones. Now, I don't know what to do. I asked them what my options were, and the only thing they said we could do, since we tried changing his diet (to no avail), is to operate. But the...

I'm finally at my wit's end with Toby. Four years ago, I got another cat, Trina. I'd thought he'd be okay, only being five and having lived with another cat for the first three years of his life, but nope. He liked being an only cat. The following isn't actually relevant to my question, I'm...

Hey all, 1) No, my cat does not /did not have a UTI, 2) I'm not posting to find out how to stop the behavior, since it's already stopped with Feliway, and 3) I'm posting this here because, well, it's a result of the cat's behavior. So! So, I moved into a new apartment, and Toby seemed to be...

Hey folks, As a life-long cat owner, I have adopted the attitude that everything looks better with cat fur on it and tastes better with cat food in it. Really, I thought it was inevitable that everything would be literally covered in it; however, I recently went to a house that had a bird, two...

UGH! I am absolutely FURIOUS right now! I'm a hostess at a pretty well-known restaurant; I was told when I first started that, if I worked hard and asked for a raise one month after I started, I'd get a raise and then three months in, I'd be made into a server. Well, here I am, six months in...

Well, I finally did it--I ended my three year long relationship with my boyfriend. I'm nervous now, though; together, my rent was only about 500 a month, but now that's going to double since I've asked him to leave. x.x I'm nervous!

Hey all, I'm toying with the idea of Potty-training my kitties. I've heard this can be done, however I've never actually known anyone who did it successfully! What are the pros/cons of this? My concerns: Toby used to have a problem with improprer urination outside his litter box. This has...

Hey all, One of my friends just got a puppy, and I'm trying to help her figure out the best way to toilet train her puppy. The situation: Sometimes, both her and her boyfriend are scheduled to work at the same time and thus can't be home to let the puppy outside, so it stays in its crate for...

UGH! Quote from another forum: Wait a second.. so you KNOW what you're about to say is going to be rude, you KNOW it's not constructive, but that's "just what I do"?! I've been really sheltered and/or lucky on these forums; it's only every now and then I get a snarky comment, but it's like...

Just curious.. trying to figure out how to get motivated in time for November! NaNoWriMo stands for "National Novel Writing Month". =D Just curious to see if anyone has participated!

I had the biggest scare of my life yesterday. I thought it was weird when Toby and Trina weren't keeping me company during my shower, since they love to drink the water after I'm done. So I go downstairs to find some pantyhose, and I realize.. the DOOR IS WIDE OPEN. The cats are NOT inside. I...

Hey all, Well, here it is, 3:30 AM, and I can't sleep. I lost my job today.. I had been working as a receptionist in a law firm for five months, and things were going well, until they decided to move offices and hire on another part-time receptionist. When we moved, one of the attorneys left...

Hey all, did anyone get married young? Did it work out? I'm trying to figure out if it's just young MARRIAGES that have a tendency toward failing or even relationships that began when you were young. ^_^ Any stories would be helpful!

Hey all, so I have eggs that expired about a month and a couple of days ago.. and.. I wanna boil them. I'm starving and have no car with which to get around and it's cold outside. So! What's the worst that can happen? My boyfriend swears that eggs never go bad unless they smell, and these...

So an evening or two ago, my boyfriend and I were driving home when we noticed a bunny crouched at the side of the road. People kept stopping to look at it, so we did too, and it was still very much alive and obviously had been hit by a car. I think it's pelvis was shattered, and there was a...

Hey all, I'm having some problems at work. We share office space with another company, so there are always one or two other women up at the front desk with me (I'm a receptionist). I'm part time, so my employers have another receptionist who comes in days that I don't and on Fridays at the same...

Hey all, I just found a lump at the joint on my wedding ring finger where it connects to the hand. Naturally, with all sorts of tumors running in my family, I'm FREAKED OUT! I've looked online and think it might just be a ganglion cyst, but have any of you had one? If so, what'd it feel...

Hey all, I've recently switched to all wet food for the kitties, and I intend to keep feeding them a diet of mostly wet, except the kitties keep waking us up at seven in the morning to be fed. So I've decided I'll leave dry food out at night and simply change the number of times I feed them wet...
