Hey folks. Lost my Usenet account, and am reduced to Google.. hope you can help me out. I first saw this picture a few years ago, have seen it pop up in various spots, and it's pretty awesome. Cat takes a swipe at a snarling dog on a beach. Usually these types of spats wind up with someone...

Today his leg is stronger and he is putting more weight on it. He hurts, but I have some meds to ease the pain. No acupuncture for a couple of weeks so we can see how this progresses. The pain is mostly due to the fact that he is walking more on his left hip which is the arthritic hip - I was...

I have more pictures of my kitties elsewhere but I am not always on speaking terms with my computer. One of these days I'll try to compile a few more. Unfortunately the only cat in this group of photos still alive is Hailey, Tortle's big fluffy brother. He is the fluffier...

Ozzy and the flowers. Photo taken this summer. Hes a doll. Have a good night. Judy http://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-ViewPhoto.cfm?id=639389

Our cat was taken to the vet and had 2 enemas yesterday, didn't do much good. She will only eat dry food. She is also vomiting. Is there a pill or medicin I can give her. She is only 7. It's breaking my heart.

My female cat started very last night with an aggressive pawing at her own eye, which seemed closed. I could not see anything in there when I looked gently except it was obviously sore, She settled on my bed for the night although her eye was closed, and all as quiet until 3am when she...

Another small opossum showed up in the rabbit cage. Don't know if it's a child of the other young one or if it's a sibling. They probably like to explore the cage because there's water, rabbit pellets and some times a few left over bits of cat food. Last night I left an empty can of N.E. clam...

My cat, Charley, wears soft claws, and that prevents him from damaging all the furniture in my house except for one sofa with rather soft fabric. To get attention, he "chooses" to scratch this sofa and of course, it works every time! ;-) I go over and shoo him away or try to distract with...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group but have been lurking for a couple years & occasionally posting since last summer, so I decided it's past time to formally introduce my cats & myself. I'm Mari, probably a little older than many here, live in Canada & have had cats since 1970. My present cats...

We recently adopted a cat through People for Animals. Our first cat, also adopted through them, has been fantastic...most of the time. When we adopted the 2nd cat we were told she was about six months old, she had all of her shots and was FHIV -. She has wrapped my wife, myself and the older cat...

"D." wrote: The toy is copyrighted 1991, but the backing was dated 2001, so now I feel somewhat less guilty. Wonder how long catnip lasts. I don't know but you can always refresh the toys by sealing them in a ziplock with some "Zoom Around the Room" catnip for...

My SO and I recently recived a cat. It's a 7 month old neuterd male. The problem I'm running into is that I work evenings and late nights, and need to sleep in the morning. Of course a kitten would never let this happen. He likes to let you sleep till about 6am, then he will whine and run around...

I have one indoor only cat (7 y/o) that is healthy and is in the process of getting updated on his FVRCP vaccination. But, I've decide to bring in a few very friendly strays (11 months old) that were abandoned. They're in the process of getting their vaccinations, various tests, and...

thanks in advance.

I have a 15yo male cat. I'm leaving on a 9-day vacation soon. My neighbor is going to look in on him in the morning/evening, and I have a sitter coming in the early afternoon. But I also want to leave my cat with a toy that can occupy him, particularly in the early morning/later evening when he has...

Hey all. I've posted a few times about my cat Reggie, who had eye problems. Well, we finally (after a month's wait!) got in to a specialist who said that Reggie had a geographical ulcer on his eye brought on by herpesvirus. Crap. She gave him some pills and we started him on Lycene...

It has been brought to my attention that I have been considered spamming.I want to apologize to the members of this group if they feel that I have spammed with the Pet Alive product post. I am fairly new to this and am still learning the "ins and outs" of group posting. Yesterday was a very busy...

My son's girlfriend's cat had a case of the pukes (on a Saturday night of course - I think our cats prefer the emergency clinic to our regular vet). We took her to the clinic, which did a blood test, physical exam of the mouth and throat, and took xrays. Little booger was fine, but the doctor said...

Hi all, I have an eight year old female Burmese. She is an indoor cat (well, 99%), an "only" cat and well and truly litter trained. This morning I woke to find a wet spot where she was lying. I think she had no idea until she woke up when I stripped the covers back. She started cleaning herself,...

I recently adopted a 2 year old tabby mix from the local Animal Rescue League. He is a great little guy and is fitting in well with my four year old tabby male. I noticed the other night as he was getting ready to bed down that he was kneading an area around my calf, which to me wasn't unusual,...
