Has anyone recently developed a skin rash; perhaps, first starting, especially on their hands? This started less than a month ago with a rash that started on one finger, then spread to my hands, but has shown up a few other places. I use Paws and claws Scoopable.and have for a couple...

Miss Emily and Butterscotch came in last night because of the low temperatures and chance of rain. This morning, after a good sleep in, I went to get some donuts (did you know Krispy Kreme does not have cinnamon rolls or apple fritters?!). Miss Emily went outside with me, although...

I've seen ads for Sheba canned cat food but until recently I'd never seen it on store shelves. Persia was getting tired of the canned Friskies. I decided to give Fancy Feast another try. Then I saw cans of Sheba right next to it. Oh! I read the labels side by side. Not only are the...

My neighbors' cat Schwartzie just made a "deposit" in the soft soil right outside the window next to my den. The weather is great, perfect for opening a few windows. I'm not sure I appreciate him deciding to use this spot as his outdoor litterbox. If it becomes *the* poop-spot it could get...

a big tree has fallen into my garden and although there are signs it is being cut up nothing has happened for a month. So I went round to see what was happening. It's the man who owns the rest of the garden next door - the man who sold the house to my awful neighbours. He immediately was...

Little Boy LOVES his 'skinny chicken' - the feathers onna stick. He will go out of his way to kill it and fight with it and show it who's the boss. Tonight, skinny chicken and I were both on the bed. Little Boy, as usual, jumped up on the bed, right on my chest and started face rubbing me and...

Joyce's favourite pic of Boyfie. This was in 2005 when he was a young lad. http://www.flickr.com/photos/75631392@N03

New cat food from Whiskas. "lick and chew" 12 pouches for 2.50 at Asda. He liked their bite and chew but he likes this even better. Grab it while you can.

We got Murphy and Molly (brother and sister) from Lothian Cat Rescue a couple of years ago. They'd been there for a long time before we took them, and they were pretty badly traumatized. For whatever reason, they never settled in with us. Molly never wanted anything to do with us humans, though...

I am trying EVO - a canned food by Innova. It's cheaper than Wellness and seems to have similar ingredients. There are no by-products and no grains. The cats love it (almost too much) - cleaning their plates quickly and wanting more. It's about $10 less for a case of 24 cans. For the time being...

I took Shamrock in 11 years ago the day before St Paddy's day in 2002 as one of my foster cats. He has been one of my biggest challenges as a caretaker. Allergic to almost everything a cat can come in contact to including cat dander. He is so attached to me that I think he thinks I'm his...

Hey there folks, I know I've been away from the NG for a long time, but I am still surviving and plugging along as best as I can. I'm in between vet clinics at the moments and now have an addition troublemaker in addition to Imp, Mischief and Mayhem. In the summer of 2011, a small little 10 oz...

No, not the awful ones. Jenny-next -door (whose house is attached to mine) told me she was splitting up from her partner. I am not surprised as I could hear lots of effing and blinding through my wall for some time. What I was not expecting that she would ask me to get rid of my wood trailer...

Just so you know, Aunti Mabel passed on today. It is sad but it as her time to go. She was estimated to be at least 16.5 and that's very old for a beagle. She is sorely missed by 2 4foots and 3 2foots. Carol --

I buy Cat's Pride kitty litter. Persia likes it, I like the price. They have coupons on the web site. And I've discovered a bug in their coupon printing program. (This is why I was very good at doing software QA. LOL) Go to their web site, click on 'Special Offers' then click 'Save on Cats...

I just love coming home and seeing "Goofy" looking out the window waiting for me. The living room window is the purrfect height for him to do this. http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u641/SmooglyBoogly/goofwindow008_zps746eb55f.jpg

About two AM nature called, and as I sat in the bathroom I heard two sounds that broke me up. Little gray Emily in the hall was lying on her cushion snoring up a storm. And what was even funnier was that she was as loud as a family member who was snoring in the bedroom. It was a hilarious duet!

Holly seems to be doing very well. She is now eating well, and she seems happy. She follows me around like "the old Holly," and she spends a lot of time curled up in my lap. I think I made the right decision not to force her to have fluids twice a day. I would rather have her happy and...

Tiger doesn't usually sleep on my bed. Last night he jumped on the bed in the middle of the night. He walked around for a few minutes before he settled down next to my pillow. I shifted over and laid my head on him as a pillow. He didn't object and I stayed that way for a while. He is more...

He was keeping me company in bed today while I wasn't feeling well. Glad I had my cell phone on the bedside table to capture this spotty tummy and big feet. LOL http://oi45.tinypic.com/33pet50.jpg
