Egads, this cat is falling apart! Today one of his lower canine teeth just fell over. It is hanging out his mouth in a most snaggletooth kinda way. It doesn't seem to bother him. He let me touch it. I thought I might be able to pull it out but it didn't come out to easily. He wolfed down a...

Hi Everyone Well there is a new foster kitten to my family and I feel so sorry for her. She is pure black and she is a sister to my other foster kitten Heidi. Sadly the losers that owned the mother to these cats decided they did not want them and dumped them down the bottom of there garden for...

I'm sure there are those of you who remember my father and the sagas of him and his cat Charlie. Well, they are all over as of about two hours ago. My father succumbed to a septic infection. I spent the evening with him as they got him transferred from the ER to ICU. He died several hours later....

Suddenly, Smudge has become a very cuddly kitty. She's always been friendly, following me from one room to another, curling up in the general area whenever I settle down, and often lying on top of me if I'm on my side on the couch, or in bed. But all of a sudden, in the past 2-3 days, she's been...

Tonight as i prepared for bed. I decided to take a long hot soak in the tub. As i was laying in the water with my eyes shut i hear the a thud and there is Max sitting on the edge of the tub. Looking at me like i've lost my mind. then I look over and there is ginger sitting on top of the...

As I expect you remember I posted a humorous little article a month or two ago, and was immediately attacked by Gandalf. Technically, I suppose, the attack was on my wife. One reason given for this unprovoked attack was that Gandalf had suffered a loss. We have all lost cats, or dogs or...

For the last couple of months Amelia has feeling very put-upon by the large number of kittens in the house (she seems to think that two kittens is two kittens too many). She's generally been expressing her displeasure with occasional bitchy-cat hisses at Sammy and Tabitha, but this morning she...

I just read an article in the local paper (complete with a photo which horrified me)...about the little high school biology class's dissection project, each student dissected a cat. I am completely outraged about this, but I can't separate exactly what I'm outraged about. Who supplies the cats?...

I buy our vegetables at an organic farm here in Austin. They have a cute 13 year old black cat called Tubby J. Tupelo who has the run of the farm and likes to come to the farm stand for scritches (check out the t-shirts http://www.boggycreekfarm.com/). Well, turns out he's been under the weather...

I'm glad I didn't take the vet's advice about sending her to RB just yet. She continues to drink her rehydration fluid in preference to plain water - she has a choice. It has made a real difference to her, so thank you to those who suggested it. She is eating as well as a CRF kitty can. Turkey...

Did you ever just think that the world just constantly produces countless new cat toys? I was awakened last night by the wildest kitty soccer in recent memory-- sounded like a dozen cats-- with extra scuffling and sliding-- donuts and burnouts-- on the hardwood floor. I turned the light on, and...

There is a terrible wind rushing around here as well as lashing rain, but the wind has only just got up, so I felt obliged to check the chicken huts to make sure everything was safe (it's very, very late here) I have a lamp that fastens on my head, so put it on, got all the outer clothes on, and...

Hello all, Shocking news this weekend. I was passing through the UK on the way back to Hong Kong. It seems that Min went off her food last week and was diagnosed very quickly with lymphatic cancer. She has tumours on her kidneys and probably elsewhere. The cancer is inoperable, but there is a...

Well, the vet finally rang me. She'd had a difficult patient before Frank so it took her this long (it's 3 in the afternoon here) to get around to him (guesswho's been on tenterhooks the past 6 hours?). From the new X-rays and the old ones, and examining him while he was lightly sedated, she made...

description from you who eat it, and a source to purchase if there is one in the us, Lee

I was feeding Bruiser and Maya some tuna just a few minutes ago when Bruiser brushed up near a lit candle and his fur caught on fire. He never even realized he was on fire but a patch of fur was burning. It looked like he had a zippo lighter burning on his flank near his tail. It went out with a...
