One of our neighbours has a shrine to their cat out the front of their house, with a large sign saying 'please restrain your dogs' and explaining how their cat was murdered by a dog. I really want to go and smack this idiot around the head, and say, you murdered your cat, you tosser, you let it...

So, even after seven years of dealing with this, I still learn new stuff. In the past, I've alway whisked Meep off to the vet whenever she has an attack. Gradually, though, I've realized this hasn't really been in her best interests - although for a while she'd always get an antibiotic, my...

Anyone else been through this one? Julius seems to be doing really well after The Week From Hell That Tore Through Our Wallets, and is thoroughly ****ed at me for adding three doses of rutin to our former one-pill-per-day routine, but it'd be nice to compare notes. We got over 300 mL out of the...

Hi, Could an identity microchip implanted in a cat cause an allergic reaction? If so, what is the nature of the reaction? Thank you, in advance. Mike Crossland --- My outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7962/gabbyresizedzi7.jpg Based on the location and the overpopulation of cats in this area I am guessing she is a mutt. But I would love ANY ideas as to what she could be. Then I can tell my redneck cousin she is not mixed with raccoon. Although I doubt...

Hey folks, Any ideas to help with this situation would be appreciated. In mid June I trapped a cat as part of a TTVAR program in a large colony on the campus of a state hospital. The cat was fixed by the vet, but was far too weak to be released. (In fact, had I known what kind of shape she was...

Hello again--I used to post here a couple of years ago, and yours truly, prodigal daughter, has returned to the fold in search of information and help with a problem. Basically, what is the best way to transport a cat long-distance from Boston to Sacramento, if a human can't actually fly out to...

I have two cats who like to play a lot. Most of their play time is with me where I have some sort of string or wire with something at the end of it where they chase it if I make it move in an interesting fashion. Eg., there's a cheap "cat dancer" toy (see http://www.catdancer.com/ ) that they...

Hi everyone, I'm new here waves What brings me to this group is some recent very odd bloodwork on my cat, Celia. I had a long conference with my fabulous vet regarding this, and will be visiting the vet teaching hospital for an echocardiogram. I'm just wondering if anyone has other ideas or...

From http://www.catnutrition.org/nutrients.php : "If you're interested, an adult mouse is roughly 67 percent water, has a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.1:1, has 3 percent carbohydrates, consists of about 57 percent crude protein, and contains 23 percent fat. (Dry Matter Basis)" There we have...

Hates being petted, doesn't like to rub up against you, lives to catch mice. I want one, what breed should I get. Thanks, Jim

Three abandoned kittens in my backyard around one of my storehouses---they look to be about two weeks old (?). I started hand feeding them the other day using PetAg KMR milk in a nursing bottle with a queen's nipple; also, I feed them a little beef baby food. I just realized that one of the...

I put a fairly liberal amount of Icy Hot on my elbow this morning. Upon returning to the living room, my boy Spot jumped up next to me, caught a whiff of it, and immediately planted his nose against the area where it had been applied. His regret was obvious and immediate. I washed the stuff off...

Lady went to camp this weekend and we stopped for icecream. http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6otrg/100_0368icecream.JPG http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6otrg/100_0369icecream.JPG http://mysite.verizon.net/vze6otrg/100_0370icecream.JPG Celeste -- Unique one of a kind beaded Jewelry By Celeste

For those that are curious, Icarus got his FELV/FIV test done today and it was negative. He also got his shots as well but I was told that he was a real firecracker with the doctor and the vet techs. He is 8 months old (although they also told me a second time he was 7 months old). They had trouble...

I thought I'd give everyone an update. I've been checking on Icarus every day and not had too much opportunity to visit him because I didn't want to interfere too much with the vet. Before I left the vet on Sunday, I left my jacket with him so he had my scent and hopefully make him more...

I have posted a new picture of Icarus if anyone wants to see him. http://www.catgalaxymedia.com/bios.html

For all who have been reading, Icarus is finally home as the vet finally released him today. He'll have to remain in the bathroom for a few days as he still has blood in his urine. The vet says it will be messy so a mop and bucket will constanly be standing by. The vet prescribed some Prednisone...

Icarus is now home and recovering. Thanks to everyone who sent or expressed their well wishes. He's really happy to be home. This morning I fed him and gave him his meds and right now he's curled up on the couch sleeping.
