I am supposed to get clavamox pills into Tiger twice a day. Hiding in his food isn't working and I don't think he would eat "pill pockets". I wonder if I could smash the pill, mix it with butter (or vasoline) and smear the mixture on his fur. The alternative is a number of 20 mile trips to the...

When ever I go upstairs and Tiger is with me, he keeps walking across the step in front of me as I go up. It's like he is trying to get stepped on. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580')

My large scratching post (sisal) is 4 feet high with a platform on top. Tiger is 10 1/2 years old and weighs 24 pounds. He can still climb right up the post to get on the platform to watch the bird feeder. He is in good shape! ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New...

I thought you would like this. We visited our newly married daughter, who was preparing her first Thanksgiving dinner. I noticed the turkey thawing in the kitchen sink with a dish drainer inverted over the bird. I asked why a drainer covered the turkey. Our daughter turned to my wife and said,...

My big boy is 13 today and just as feisty as ever. Right now he is sleeping on my lap. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580')

I just noticed these posts were being cross-posted to anecdotes. Lori Crews cross-posted between the groups AGAIN by adding rpca in the follow-up field. Sorry for the disruption - if I had noticed I would have sent the replies back to H+B where they belong. Don't ever act innocent again, Lori. ...

Was there any news? I can't find the thread if there was. -L.

....but I'm not sure which one it is. They both seems fine - Mimi is a little less active these days (she's 15) Peewee is up to his old antics. Also, please purr for *me* in hopes that I can figure out who is having this problem... :( The last couple days I have been finding ralphed-up bile with...

My friend has a cat, Fanny, that has suffered asthma for quite awhile. My friend recently had to euthanize her old dog - and surprisingly Fanny's asthma has clearde up! I had never heard of anything like this - a cat being allergic to a dog. I wondered if it was all the "stuff" (allergens) the...

Does anyone else here cook foods specially for your cats? I have started to feed Peewee cooked turkey and chicken - sometimes roasted, sometimes boiled, usually with garlic. he does so much better when he's eating mainly home-made food. Does anyone else do this? What other meats do you cook? ...

I stole this from one of my other groups. I thought it might be fun... http://www.blogthings.com/hownormalareyouquiz/ The bigger question is - How normal are your cats? I think Peewee is about 90% normal for a Siamese - but he isn't a Siamese. ;) And Mimi is 90% normal for the Tortie that...

I got this alert from the OR HS. Just posting incase anyone might want to watch the show, or donate to help the situation. -L. **** Today (May 6) fans of the Oprah Winfrey Show are introduced to a Chehalis, Washington, resident who aquired and was living with 80 cats and 8 dogs. Being from a...

We are thinking of setting one up since the Usenet version has become such a wasteland. It would be through an easily-accessible venue such as Yahoo, etc. Would anyone here be interested in participating? If so, please send me an email - address in header is valid. Thanks! -L.

OK - it's confession time. I have these strange rituals with my cats. I'm sure you have them as well. I sing to them - they answer back. I make up names for them - the more weird, the better. Currently Peewee's nickname is Dabba Doo as in Yabba Dabba Doo and Mimi's nickname is Memus Penis. ...
