You all remember this florida rescue center we talked about in this group a long time ago posted on the ASPCA website Since Monday, February 26, the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response (FIR) team has been in northern Florida managing the removal of hundreds of cats from an...

I listened to the news when I woke up this morning. It seems that some Aussie soldiers had been out on the tiles and when they got back to camp they had some fun with a cat and her litter of kittens. First they urinated on them and then took a kitten and tied it behind a vehicle and dragged it...

I have been around on this newsgroup for a while, and I really do appreciate the stories you all are giving us here. What I don't like, is the obvious connection some people here are making between "purring" and "praying". Purring is cute and a sign of good wishes, prayers are a religious...

OK, what's new right? "Still Standing" showed an episode about the wife's sister's cat dying. None of the characters showed even a modicum of sympathy, but made fun of the woman for grieving and made fun of the cat. I've never seen a show about a dog dying that was made fun of, but cats seem to...

I took Frank to the vet last spring for a blood test to check his thyroid level. I thought then that we wouldn't have to do that for a whole year, because he was doing so well then. But, unfortunately, lately he seems to have been losing weight. I can feel his spine when I stroke him, and...

My male cat Andy has been suffering with minor diarrhea since Saturday. I took him to the vet today, they did a fecal exam and found nothing amiss there. So they gave me Metronidazole to give him. They also told me to put him strictly on dry food until the diarrhea goes away. Apparently the meds...

Hihi this is O T Mahoney I am a fairly good looking Orange kitty, so I have been told. Gramby went to a carnival and bought some salt water taffy. The man that went to the bridge couldn't have it so, she hasn't had any in years. She bought it home and popped a piece in her mouth. DEN, you...

Haven't had a recipe thread here for *ages* (which in one way is a good thing, I guess), but I like our recipe threads and felt like starting one, troll or no. Its getting close to the Holiday season, thought we might share a few of our favourite recipes that we traditionally use to celebrate...

Have you considered calling other vets? It's hard for me to believe that vets in Canada don't have any options. When our cat had some 20 odd years ago, our vet surgically removed them. Consider posting this to alt.med.veterinary and rec.pets.cats.health+behav Karen "adrie"...

With the loss of two of my cats this year, Milo and Thalia, I was down to three for the first time in many years. Three is actually a pretty good number - convenient and not overwhelming. But... Nine days ago I answered a CraigsList ad for a kitty, described as desperately needing medical...

Does anyone have esperience with a sensor-device called STAY AWAY? If a cat jumps on a table or counter, the sensor sets off a noise and a blast of air? Does it work and if so, where can you buy it? Thanks Ken

I was smoking up to between 2 and 3 packs a day, so decided it was about time to quit. I told myself I'd quit on my BD, which was in June, but didn't quite make it then. Finally stopped in July, and haven't smoked since July 15th. (Not to say I went cold turkey, I'm sucking on those nicotine...

The results of Crackles biopsy has came back and he has cancer. He has only one option which is a very expensive surgery on his ear and only if it hasn't spread to his lungs. An xray would determine if its gone to the lungs. The operation would have to be done by a specialist and I was told would...

So, I'm looking at cat trees online, even though shipping costs an arm and a leg, because the trees I've seen locally haven't impressed me. It makes me nervous, though, because I hate to spend a few hundred bucks on a cat tree that Oscar might ignore completely. Anyway, I'm assembling a list of...

I posted the following to my travel and opera newsgroups, who probably can be of more help from a practical standpoint. However, given the proven "power of purr", I figured it would do no harm to post it here, too. I can certainly use all the help I can...

Jill, I keep thinking we need to find you a way to make money that doesn't involve interviewing with someone who will tell you no. That means thinking outside the box. The first idea I had was as a pet sitter. My pet sitter gets $25.00 when she comes once a day and $40 for twice a day visits....

Tigger & Boyfriend went to TED's yesterday for their annual boosters and health check. Usual dramas about getting them into their carriers, Tigger said no very vehemently and Claire arrived here a bit late with claw wounds to her neck, chest, arms and hands. Usual wowling all the way there from...
