The Origin of the Kimchi Accidents-- Korean Importers It has been a big hotspot in Korean media recently that excessive lead was detected in Chinese kimchi and not long after that parasite eggs were found in it. Is it really news? New as it is, we don't find it as a fact. The fact is: many...

Wow, I just got an idea. I have 3-4 strays who do eat regularly outside my door, they have come to depend on it. They won't let me pet them, but they hide out in the bushes waiting for the food everynight. If there was one single thing I could do for them to improve thier health, I wonder what...

That sounds really cool Have you tried it on something that really is clean to see if the dirt-o-meter is really working? I had a feeling your place might be a little smoggy

Whenever Elwood is finished eating, he "buries" the leftovers by digging at the ground around his dish. This is probably done to try and hide the food from my other cat, Jake. Well, Jake just went to Elwood's dish, and "dug it up" before having a taste. Cats are so strange.

What can I do with my 4yo female cat who has diarrhea? We've taken her to the vet twice, she had an antibiotic shot last week which seemed to help for a while, but I think as soon as we've got her back on wet food, it's come back. My main problem is the fact that she runs through the house...

Has anyone had their cat swing hypothyroid after having the Radiocat treatment? Our 10 year old cat had bloodwork 3 months after the procedure and it showed that he is now hypothyroid. The Vet said this happens sometimes but they usually don't treat it unless the symptoms (excessive weight gain,...

First off, thanks so much to everyone who responded. Your posts were very well thought out and extremely comforting to me. My kitty is still with me. I revamped my litter box system (again!) in order to make sure that he has litter access very close by in his favorite nap spots. I am still...

While stary cats face certain dangers all the time, I am wondering if Halloween atmosphere increses those risks? I ask because I feed a stray cat that show up late afternoon and leaves in 1-2 hours. If Halloween evening would increase any risk to her, I could try to lure her into staying longer....

Tonight we set the clocks back one hour. My problem is that Amber usually wakes me up about 5AM. That's OK because I usually get up about that time. Tomorrow (and for the next six months) what Amber thinks is 5 will actually be 4. I DON'T want to get up that early. I will explain this to her...

A few weeks ago, my 6 year old cat, Mittens (a neutered male) starting urinating in inappropriate places (the bed, the couch) and started "scooting" across the floor. I of course took him to the vet immediately where it was discovered that he had tapeworms and an impacted and infected anal glands....

If I was a cat, I would want to be a big black one. With brown eyes I would want to live in a upscale downtown condo like Diane's place, but only for a little a while (just long enough to pilfer through her stuff) then I would want to move to Maaaaary's house forever. I'm sure Lyn's house would...

I have two kittens, 9 months and 6 months old, respectively. The older kitten smells fine, but I've noticed the younger kitten's head always smells like... well... ass. I bathe and shampoo the younger kitten ever few weeks as a result. But I am wondering if this is quite common and if there is...

This is about the cat and kittens in the threads, fearful mother-to-be is cat really pregnant? 3 kittens born - help The six kittens are a week and a day old now. It has been an uneventful week, with me only looking in on the kittens, sometimes with a not very bright flashlight. I took two

The other eye is starting to get cloudy-like a dull milky film. What meds can I order from a vet supply store to treat this eye so as to extend it's life? You really need to get this cat to a vet ASAP. It may mean the difference between him retaining his vision or going blind (and just because...

I swear, when it rains it pours... just as we might be getting one cat's conjunctivitis under control, another cat gets happy time with the vet ;) My cat Spam is about 13 years old. When he was a kitten, he had apparently been left outside in the cold and it caused some damage in his hind legs. ...
