Hi Tom: 2 years ago we got our Sir Toby from a shelter. He had chronical respiratory problems, just like us heaving a bad head cold. Especially in the mornings he blew out big greenish gobs of snot, he had ear mites, too and he was kind of "quiet". The black stuff in the ears are the ear mites...

Dear Carroll: First of all: May God bless you for saving this little girl. Is there a way that you could take her to the vet now and have him to wait for the payment until you'll be getting your paycheck? Cats that won't eat might develop further problems (liver damage) within a couple of...

What about "Ginger"? By the way, she's beautiful! C U later Joe

Hi Leesali: That's cats for you! Those little buggers are smart and they can smell a rat for sure! Whenever our indoor cats have to go to the vet we have to close the door of the room(s) where they are and smuggle the box into the hallway. Then we have to get the box (one with a hinged top...

Hi Furball: You did whatever you could for him and he passed his last day feeling safe and getting affection and care (maybe for the first time of his life). He crossed the bridge carrying memories of you being the person trying to save him. Things like this could bring down the toughest guy...

I just hope that his cellmates will give him the same kind of treatment.

Hi felineorc: I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him. Please let me tell him something from guy to guy: Take it easy on yourself for a while. I know it's hard to do ( for me it's quite hard, I want to do my work and I get annoyed when I can't do my strength training) but you'll have to force...

Iâ€8482m a Muslim. I got to know Islam when I was working in Saudi Arabia 16 years ago. The holy Quran teaches belief in God and all of his many prophets – peace be upon them all (Jews and Christians are referred to as “the people of the bookâ€). Jesus – peace be upon him - was one of...

Miss Mew, I hope you threw a celebration barbecue when that useless, sorry specimen croaked! C U later Joe

Dear esrgirl: That young lady seems to consider the whole thing a joke (quote "So she told me, as she was laughing, that she lied to her mom and said she took the cat to her husband's family farm- but what she really did was kick the cat out."). I'd turn her in to animal control and, if...

Hi, and another guy checking in! About a couple of months ago I read an article about men and their cats. The message in a nutshell: More and more men love cats. Might be that in the past more guys kept their love for cats to themselves wanting to avoid peer pressure. Men, who love cats are...

I've sent the following e-mail to Benedict XVI: "Your Holiness: Just happened to come across some information about Dominican Nuns of the Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx, New York. Since 8 years there are some feral cats living on the premises of the monastery . Almost all of those cats...

Last year I watched a nice sequence in a comedy show. An anchorman appeared and explained that, due to popular demand, the American Foundation for the Blind started training cats in addition to dogs and invited the audience to watch the result: A well know comedian (a somewhat portly guy)...

Hi everyone: You guys are lucky regarding gas prices! Germany's gas prices (regular unleaded - 91 octane) translate into $ 5,59 per U.S. Gallon. Reason being is our greedy government: Gas tax, VAT (also on the gas tax --> tax on tax) and an extra tax called "Eco- surcharge". Do they use that...

Hi, any news on Skyler, how's he doing? C U later Joe

Dear Crystal: I know it's a very hard and sad time for both you and your beloved cat. But, please, either take her to the vet or have the vet to come and see her. As far as I know not eating even for a couple of days could damage her liver. Maybe the vet could give her something to stimulate...

I keep my fingers crossed for Skyler hoping that he will get well soon. If he's just on his third day of medications it's normal that he doesn't show any significant improvement yet. But, believe me, the medications are busy smoking out the enemy but it will take a certain time. You guys are...

Some weeks ago there was a dead black cat by the center divider of the highway I use for my daily trip to work. At least she/he wasn't mutilated, most likely died instantly and didn't have to suffer (a small consolation). Seeing those poor creatures upsets me too, even though I've been a...

Two blondes are making tea. Some hot water remains. Asks blonde 1: „What should we do with it?“ Says blonde 2: „Letâ€8482s save it and keep it in the freezer, one could always use some hot water.“ A flight from Los Angeles to New York. A young blond woman with an economy ticket is...

It'll take a while for the medications to take effect, so you got to be a bit patient. In September 2003 we got our Sir Toby, who is something like 10 - 11 years by now from a shelter. He's been there for four months, he was found wandering around in May 2003, also suffering from respirational...
