I just took my son in to a pulmonary specialist today. As part of the treatment/procedure plan, he gave him a list of recommendations. At the bottom it said, "Bye bye Kitty." Hrrmph. I don't think so. But here's the weird part. Lounging around the office was the most gigantic, fat rottwiler I have...

At what temperature do people start to turn on their central heating? I normally wait til end of October when the daytime temp indoors is around 55 degrees. Now it is around 57 degrees indoors in the morning.Very cold. Catching colds constantly. I thought of turning it on a week ago when my cat...

When we did the group purr activity, one of the entries was for my brother, Pat. He had a hip replacement a couple years ago, and is looking at getting another soon. He's been having problems with the new hip, so he went to see his doc today. The reason he needed the hip replacement was that he...

Frank is scheduled for his dental surgery on the 27th. I have to take him in to the vet school hospital before 8 in the morning and I get to pick him up after 4 in the afternoon. I know I'll be a nervous wreck all day. Actually, I'm a nervous wreck already. Frank will be 17 next month, and it's...

Many thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I'm off for the weekend, so I'm sitting here cropping and resizing photos of the furkids. I'm going to get some of them online and either post links or add the links to my sig. I didn't realize just how many pics I have of them, and how many I can't...

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...

and so Louie brings up nice, fresh sheets, warm from the dryer, ready to spread and fit upon the futon we use for a bed, because we've been married only 2 years and can't afford jack... "Dear, what on earth is that lump under the sheet?" "It would appear to be a cat, dear." "Which one?" Have you...

Oliver and my husband Steve should start a comic book called Flying Kitty. Every night Steve takes Oliver "flying" thru the apartment. Oliver will run up to him and lift his front legs off the floor, stretching as far up as he can go. Steve grabs Oliver just under his front and back legs and...

I've told a lot of stories about Nocturne being a furry little tyrant, and all of them are true... ....yet when we are sick, Nocturne is the one by our sides, tending us. When my partner got pneumonia and was too out of breath to go from the couch to the bed, Nocturne spent her first and only...

I started working at a temporary job a couple of weeks ago. It felt like jet lag for a while because I'm not used to getting up quite so early. This morning, I was flat on my back, snoozing along, trying to get as much sleep as possible, when Rosie moved from the pillow above my head and plopped...

I share my home with two male cats and my DH. Simba is the largest kitty and TOP CAT. Pepper is the smaller cat and most definitely not Top Cat. However, Pepper occasionally attempts to challenge the supremacy of Simba kitty. This never goes very well as Simba just beats pepper back in to...

I just thought some people might like to see a pic of Stinky's RB "big" sister, Mimi. She was a tiny girl, with an enormous personality, which I think you can see in this picture. http://community.webshots.com/photo/125591586/203810491iBNZxa Theresa Stinky Pictures:...

Wow!!! I pluged in a couple of Comfort Zone plug-ins this evening and I think it is working!!! My cats where in close proximity a couple of minutes ago and there was nothing. No growling, or thrown punches. I may have to buy stock in this stuff!!! -- Thank You.

Marina, how did Franki's dental cleaning go? Has the abscess cleared up? Jazz and I want to know. Thanks. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time

(Cue Mission Impossible Theme) Ok, technicians, you have a cat that needs a lion-cut body shave and a bath. But this cat has a VERY short temper. It is so bad that the cat will be sedated with a cocktail of Valium and Ketamine. Your mission, shave the cat and give it a bath BEFORE he wakes...

When we first brought Smokey in from the forest, he didn't know how to play. He would eagerly chase a ball rolling across the floor, but once it stopped rolling, he didn't know what to do with it. He'd look up at me as if to say "Um, looks like it dropped dead...and it's no good to eat, so now...

....in their own words. By Kumani: Before I had Nox and Smokey, before I had Mom and MomDad, all I had in this world was my sister. I like to lick my sister! TED is less scary when I go with Tyche.

Long before the Do No Call List and all the recent legislation surrounding telemarketing, we received a call to the house. "Hello, may I speak with Mr. Fritzie F. Suz-zuh-shuh--" "That's pronounced Sha-pan-ski (Szczepanski)," my then fiance Louie said. "I think you'd best check that middle...

As a new part of my school's RVT program, my professor has worked out that us senior students will volunteer a certain amount of hours at the local shelter. Today was our orientation. It started at ten in the morning and we spent almost FOUR HOURS going over the orientation packet. (I hate it...
