You all remember this florida rescue center we talked about in this group a long time ago posted on the ASPCA website Since Monday, February 26, the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response (FIR) team has been in northern Florida managing the removal of hundreds of cats from an...

I had to take Frank to TED's again, because he has had a runny tummy all weekend, and he's been vomiting. He's mere skin and bones these days. I'll post an update when I know more. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Nikki. marina (dot) kurten (at) iki (dot) fi Pics at...

I've made an appointment with the vet, and she kindly agreed to make a home call. She will come tomorrow at 6 pm Finnish time (4 pm Greenwich Mean Time) to send Frank on his last journey. I'm so grateful to her for coming here, so I don't have to go on the bus, and especially don't have to come...

Maybe it's just the way the group is focused right now, maybe I'm being too sensitive for no reason, maybe I'm being childish - all very real possibilities. But also, maybe I've done something wrong and offended people here? It just seems like my posts are not being responded to except by one or...

For a grieving mother. You've all read about my daughter, Erin, and her family in the aftermath of Katrina. Their neighborhood was visited by another tragedy today. My youngest granddaughter, Raven's, best friend, a 7 year old, Christine Malone, was run over and killed by my daughter's...

It's now 8:09 am About an hour ago I walked into work at the veterinary clinic.....the manager was there early and wanted to speak to me. five minutes later I stormed out of there with my last paycheck........ I got fired.......and whatever the reasons, it was non negotiable.

I got FIRED on Thursday!! There was no issues, no warning, no clue. The project manager just said that he needed to speak to me, and that was it. They wanted me Off The Project, and I wasn't even allowed to go back to my office to pick up my purse. He had to go get it for me. My co-workers have...

How many of you take this out for your cats? I decided I wouldn't but instead I decided when I got KFC & Boyfie I would set aside an amount per month to go from my salary into a special account for them. It has always covered every vets bill they ever had and Boyfie could now get ill to the...

description from you who eat it, and a source to purchase if there is one in the us, Lee

A guy at work has a 16-yr. old cat (at least 16 the vet says). He has 3 teeth and only eats canned food. He only likes Fancy Feast. This co-worker found the cat left in his apartment when he moved in. He took it to the vet and had to get all the shots including rabies, license, etc. and...

All the time I've had Nanki-Poo sequestered, I've had a bowl with a combination of Friskies and Science Diet dry food in it, and a bowl of water in his room. In the meantime I've tried tempting him with various canned foods and baby food. The dry food dish has been untouched - until this morning!...

So I'm changing the litterbox again. I just changed it about a week ago, and that's way too soon for clumping litter. I scoop it daily, but I should expect to have to change it completely only once every two or three weeks. The problem is, after I put the new litter in last week, it started to...

Now the light mornings are well and truly upon us, I am woken ever earlier by three felines demanding to be allowed out into the garden at times when any civilised being should be tucked up in bed snoring... At five this morning, already daylight outside, I was forcibly dragged away from the Land...

My brother, who is still in the Philippines, was found by his maid in his bedroom this morning, unable to move or talk. He was transferred to a hospital where he is now able to talk a little bit but still can't get up out of the bed. He is refusing all help, they do have an IV going but he is not...

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not to put them on the coffee tables where the cats jump. Anyway, I...

Tonight as i prepared for bed. I decided to take a long hot soak in the tub. As i was laying in the water with my eyes shut i hear the a thud and there is Max sitting on the edge of the tub. Looking at me like i've lost my mind. then I look over and there is ginger sitting on top of the...

She thought she could sneak off and get away with it. And while her birthday is actually Friday, since I'll be out of town, I'm sending my greetings today: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR PAM! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Well, my requirements for a new cat were a little girl with big ears and a long tail.... I always quit there cause it would get pretty obvious all I really want in Rosie back and I know I can't have that. But today we went to the PetCo's and Petsmarts and SPCA in Sacramento and came home with a...

Thanks for all the purrs, gang! Right now Nanki-Poo is shut in the guest room! This morning I sequestered Lindy in my room. She complained every time I opened the door, but didn't seem terribly upset. I spent some time in there with her. I went out into the garage once, and Nanki jumped out of...

I called the vet and asked for him to call me back but the evening came/went with no phone call. He'll probably call me today (Saturday). Some of you read about my great Dallas adventure and the fact that Persia came down with another UTI while I was gone. She's doing okay with that but I'm...
