*** Although many of us are already 'hip' to this info, and I'm passing along this interesting acticle (from a friend) in case some haven't seen it. ML Subject: Vet Warns About Overvaccinating Pets E-NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL VACCINE INFORMATION CENTER Vienna, Virginia http://www.nvic.org

Mico has drawn blood from me from his last scratching bout, and I almost gave him away today. I called the vet and asked how much Feliway is - I was told the diffuser and refill are $95. This is Canadian funds, and I think without tax. Bottom line: does anyone know of a cheap source of Feliway...

Meow all. It's been a while since I was last on here but I thought I'd let you all know what has been going on lately. Cat Galaxy won the Best Freeform Station on Live365 for 2005. I also am knee deep in helping to deal with Cat & Kitten season and trying to get the word out about spay/neuter...

Spam, hope I did not offend anyone..... MARY!!!!!!! :)

I posted a while back about my elderly constipated cat. I have added rice bran to his food, makes him go more, but still like pebbles, I now add 5 drops of liquid paraffin every evening to some tuna, but he still is very constipated, he has such trouble going, he often ends up being sick at the...

Re-researching foods, and when looking at low protein and low phosphorous for renal issues, the TJ's food is lower in both than any of the Wellness flavors. I'm not sure why I'd want to switch to Wellness. -- Janet...

Here's the story. My 16 yr old cat has been vaccinated every year of his life until about 3 years ago when I read that cats didn't need to be vaccinated every year. The last time he was vaccinated was about 1 1/2 years ago, rabies last year. He is predominately an indoor cat but does go outside...

One of the Marys here pointed out today that I did not respond to some requests to elaborate on the following (which I posted in response to John McMaster on May 13): --- John McMaster: ... the advice to visit a vet NOW is always good. Elle: By itself, no, it can be fatal. ---

He is old and he is in LA. Either one is bad enough to make lesser men bitter. Together they are enough to create a wretch like Phillip. He doesn't really like cats much, so it's fun to come to discussion groups where lots of people do and just dick around with them. Call them irrational and

I haven't felt like posting on here primarily because I don't want anyone telling me I'm not doing enough for my cat or making me second guess my decisions. But, it's a long weekend and I guess I feel like mentioning it now. FWIW, I'm in AZ, we have no vet schools here and I'm not flying her to...

Memo to: The Cats From: Your Mom ("Provider of All Good Things") Subject: New Corporate Policy on the Use of Toileting Facilities Date: 17 May 2005 Ladies: Please be advised of an upgrade to your toileting equipment. There are now SIX litterboxes for the THREE of you. This should relieve some of...

Well....... I don't want to jinx anything, but it's been over a week since Carey urinated inappropriately. Considering she has had to put up with a 12 week old foster puppy in the house during that time, I would say she's doing pretty well! She actually doesn't mind puppies. Her vocalizations...

This is a case study in the point I made in an earlier post. Some of us are hopelessly sentimental about animals, despite the fact that sometimes things are really difficult. I'm watching a squad trying to capture a colony of 60 cats resulting from one gal collecting 8 strays without fixing them....

Most of you have probably read this. http://www.schlich.com/PETCATS/cats_052301.htm Petaluma police have arrested a 61-year-old San Francisco woman who kept at least 150 cats in a two-story green house she bought exclusively for the cats to live in. Police responded to a vandalism call at the...

We got two kittens from the animal shelter about three years ago. They are sisters and we named them Emma and Amy. They chase each other when playing, but otherwise often sleep together. We take them outside in our fenced garden, wearing harnesses and short leads. Yesterday they were both sitting...

You can store you pets dna for 100 yrs. The initial deposit(tissue samples taken from the cats mouth and abdoment) cost $300 to $3,000 dollars. The actual cloning starts at $30,000.00 for a cat.

Some pics are posted of the stray kitten in the group alt.binaries.pictures.animals I sorta screwed up posting them... one set is buried in a reply titled sahara & rios - sahrios2.jpg Then I tried stray kitten 1 and stray kitten 2 - but only 2 shows up on my newsreader....

Hello all - this is my first post and I'm hoping you all have some advice for me. My cat Snowball is about 10 years old. We adopted her when she was around 2 from Humane Society. She's been having normal checkups since then (around 1998) with the last normal one June 2004. In December 2004 we...

I am new to the experience of cats as I am a dog lover, but help any animal i see. So, last year, since I cant have a dog, bc they are loud, i decided to get a cat. She is sweet and loving, but slightly odd. But that is what I love about her. My main concern I am having is that I want to add a cat...
