I'm taking him into TED tomorrow morning. He's been barfing a lot more recently, and 2-3 times in the past 2 weeks has appeared to lose his balance some, and then start walking in circles, almost compulsively. He straightens himself out within a minute or two, but I'm wondering if he has an ear...

If anyone is interested in the "Prissy Sissy With The Sassy Tail" (yes, that was her entire official name, with a nickname of "Prissy") stories let me know and I can post them here. Otherwise they're available on my old web site which I just put under my current web...

I expected the vet to phone about medicine for Hugo Katt's hyperthyroidism. He called - but the news was bad. The last result from all the tests had come. Hugo's test was positive to FIP. I didn't even know we have FIP in Sweden. I have never ever heard of a cat here that has got it. The vet said...

Oy, I am an exhausted mess! I haven't been on as much as I'd like, as I'd been down for the count with a sinus infection that decided to come in on the coattails of the Flu of Evil. I hate myself. Everyone be prepared for some very, VERY late cards. Please don't beat me. I'd like to think positive...

I am new to this site. Wanted to pass on some information regarding cat water fountains. Like many of you, I too purchased a cat fountain only to be disapointed. The fountain would get clogged and did not have enough circulation and seemed to collect a great deal of sediment. Also, my...

Ok, now that we have at least two or three on the nicotine wagon, we can all pool our quitting tips, and maybe help out. When I was quitting, I ate sunflower seeds. In the shell. One at a time. Used my ashtrays to hold the shells. It kept my hands and my mouth busy. Kids hated it, but hated...

I knew he had gained some because I had to loosen his harness. It was a pleasant surprise discovering that he is back up to more than 6.5 lbs. When he's at least 8 lbs. I will quit worrying that he's too thin. He'll need to have that much weight to have a chance of being semi-comfortable this...

I'm back home and trying to catch up with over 1500 messages!!! Purrs to all those in need. My mom is hoping they'll release her from the hospital today. They've already taken out the catheter they used for medications and she's been walking around for several days now. It's amazing really,...

We needed a kitty. In December 2010, we "freed" one from the local SPCA sanctuary, where he had been held for over *two years*. His name was Bullwinkle, of which he didn't care one way or another, but we tried several others -- including Gandolf -- which just didn't fit. We found that Dudley...

When I was at a friend's house last week, I noticed that she had a large, but slightly wilted bunch of grass sitting on a bench. I asked her if it was cat grass, and it was! But unfortunately, she said that her cat showed no interest in it, which is why she'd stopped bothering to water it. She...

I have been lurking here for a couple weeks now and would like to introduce the gang. I'm Randy. My partner and I are the humble servants to: Smokey aka Smokey-pea: Male DSH black 5 years old. Smokey is a BIG (20lb) boy, very lovable but is afraid of his own shadow, litter mate to...

Posting a quickie just so you won't think I am (or Sammy is) being rude. RL is kicking my @$$ right now. In fact, if you don't mind, a need to rant a bit... rant A year ago I lost my job as a web architect and since the bottom had fallen out of this job market, couldn't find another job doing...

I was going to post something about Bonnie's one year anniversary with me this week, but I've been taking a class all week and actually forgot (bad meowmie). May 17th last year was the day I trapped her and brought her to be spayed, not even planning on keeping her. It dawned on me when I went...

Spotted in the garden for the first time - a pair of long-tailed tits :-) I'm ever so pleased as they are new visitors! I wonder, as it's a pair, if they are going to nest nearby? If they do, I hope it's high up out of feline grasp. See http://www.birdfood.co.uk/fact_files/tit_longt.htm for what...

Ginger-lyn runs into the rpca room, whooping and doing a happy dance. Running over to the first person she sees, she hugs Marina. Then she runs over and hugs Julie, and Adrian, and Jill, and Yowie, and Christina, and Dan, and Victor, and Mark before she stops, panting and out of...

Sigh! I knew I was getting too complacent by comparing how much better the cat situation is this year compared to last year this time....but, dangitall, I'm getting tired of feuding felines... Heard a ruckus in Celeste's bedroom this afternoon and sure enough, Midnight was beating up on Tucker and...

Tatts are tattoo's, I am sure you must have some people with tattoo's where you are, very popular with men although woman now are getting them as well. I have to admit I did come home and relax with a large glass of the good stuff. Lois "Hopitus2" wrote in...

I've had this really weird and embarassing health problem for six years (no, it's not BO :P ) - I hiccup and burp all the time and feel like I can't breathe right and there's crud in my throat, and when I go to bed at night I have a strong tendancy to wake myself up either with the above or with...

I sincerely hope all catslaves and /or RPCA 's living in Florida are safe, Iwould like to say everone in Florida but I'm sure that is wishful thinking, so lets hope as many as possible!! Prayers and Hugs for the Folks of Florida!! Jean.P.

Since last Sunday my Hugo - a beautiful tabby - is astray having adventures. He did that before and vanished for a week and then showed up again, happy and healthy having had a free week. It is rather warm here for December so I am thinking that the tomcats here are called by nature to roam and...
