I think I will get Lily microchipped. She is 4-5 months old now. Is that old enough? I'm too lazy to call my vet, heh. Lily's mama Lydia -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time

Hi All, Last Thursday, I took Panther to the vet to get his blood checked to make sure he's getting the right amount of medication. This morning, I talked to Pan's vet who told me Pan's thyroid was the highest it's ever been. (He has a thyroid tumor that we're controlling through medication.) The...

I accidently marked the group "caught up" before I could reply. Have you put any more thought into adopting that gorgeous GS mix? I would love to have a dog. Not a loud yippy one, but I love the big, gentle dogs like the one you're eyeing is. :) How do you think Bootsie would react? -- Cheryl

There is a point in "The Godfather" by M. Puzo where one of the characters says, "I tried to live within the system, but the system failed me. Now, for justice, I must go to Don Corleone." That is what has happened here. I believe this can be avoided, in the future, if the participants in these...

We've got rain. Not much so far but it's going to continue through the night and into tomorrow, according to the radar map on CNN. Thank God, it will cool us off a bit, finally. I was so glad to hear that it did a lot less damage than was anticipated down south.

It's the ninth ward levees and it's going to flood St. Bernard again. They couldn't handle the rains from Rita. Purrs and purr-ayers for the people there are desperately needed, folks. Hugs, CatNipped

We talked to DH's brother in Texzs City this morning. They are okay, just a lot of wind and rain. Their power was still on at 9 am eastern time Saturday. How is everyone else doing? Ann -- read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ see pictures of Sam...

No, not *about* cats, *for* cats! I was in a charity shop (thrift shop) on Wednesday and I saw this video called "Cool for Cats" TV fun for felines, volume 1. "a revolutionary new 60 minute video filmed especially for the modern cat to keep him amused and occupied in the comfort of his own...

Forgive the graveyard humor.... DH is walking around with the camcorder taking "before" pictures of the house to document it in case we have to show insurance adjusters later. I told him that after 3+ weeks of sheltering 4 families here (messy adults, children, and pets) we could probably send in...

I picked up the 9yo Siamese male yesterday. It was not a good adventure getting home but I'll leave the story for later. Simon will purr if he's cornered but otherwise he's reluctant to be seen. His owner died 3weeks ago and he's been in a cage at the vets until yesterday. The first mistake I...

I don't know if this has already been mentioned here. If so, I apologize for the repost, but I just saw it tonight. Legislation would require pet to be included in evacuations More would leave if pets allowed, lawmakers say WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal disaster grants to state and...

She had her endoscopy yesterday. Willow recovered well and was begging for food, so I obliged. The steroid really didn't seem to be helping her, so she is off that for right now and is taking Reglan for nausea/vomiting...which didn't work last night, because the poor thing puked. Right now it is...

Hi Guys'n'Gals Hoping to see lots of tips & hints on better hoolikittening come in now we're up & running. I mentioned yesterday how I was tricking the senior cats into giving me double helpings of dinner. Sometimes that isn't quite enough so I try to help myself while they're still chowing down...

Erin finally got in touch with a person from the Iberia Humane Society where Gypsy *WAS*. She found out that they had to evacuate because of Rita (Iberia is right on the Gulf of Mexico)!!!! But they say that Gypsy is safe and can be picked up after the storm passes. They also gave her a number...
