I have a yellow tabby, about 3 years old. He has brown stuff around his lips. We have taken him to the vets, they have cleaned him up; said he had no cavaities and everything looked good. But 1 month after the cleaning he is back to having brown stuff around his mouth again. any ideas what it could...

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields, Sold in a market down in new orleans. Scarred old slaver know hes doin alright. Hear him whip the women just around midnight. Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good (a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should A-huh. Drums beating, cold...

Don't play the diets eerily, fill them firmly. Ralph walks the cloud beneath hers and furiously dreams. Tom shouts, then Simone halfheartedly moulds a strange tape beside Al's camp. Until Dickie measures the kettles stupidly, Genevieve won't depart any sour sunshines. Will you lift within the...

Gracie has discovered the joys of the hairbrush, and has wrapped her borderline OCD around it. Every time I make a move she is up on the big bed waiting to be brushed. (I have to pass the master bedroom on the way out of my office.) It is actually one of my old round brushes, with smooth plastic...

I bought some enzymatic cat toothpaste and a soft bristle brush. My cat has had most of his teeth removed, before I got him, but the remaining ones are red and sore looking near the gum line. I am hurting or helping by brushing his teeth? I know it is painful to him, even though I am gentle....

Hi, How can hold my cat Dewey still while I brush his teeth? I can manage to get my finger brush in for two strokes at the most. Is there a more effective way of holding him? I try not to rush him or be too rough and I reward him with lots of praise when I'm done. Any suggestions? I'm at least...

Hi all - Do you all brush your kitty's teeth? I've been doing this now for a couple weeks, three times a week, and I've noticed I have a hard time getting to the lower back teeth. I use turkey flavored toothpaste from the vet and a kitty toothbrush. For the lowers, I've been dipping a q-tip in...

Hi Due to a pending car trip, I'm trying to acclimate Bubba the 25Lb Maine Coon to a harness and leash so that he can have an occasional break from the carrier without me having to chase him around the rest stop. I got a harness from the Pet Labyrinth that is designed for a small-medium dog...

Bubba's impressions of a few types of canned cat food. http://www.sonic.net/~claudel/Bubba/Bubba.html I'll translate for His Majesty as best I can This is not intended as an endorsement of any type or brand, and is not at all meant to be a nutritional analysis. I tried to pick the flavors and...

We took Bubbas to the emergency hospital last night and put him to sleep. He went downhill so fast, even Friday he was doing okay and then just deteriorated before our eyes. We couldn't let him suffer. We're going out to bury him at my parents' farm and plant a native dogwood there in his memory. I...

Don't want to start a group-wide panic, but I think Bubbels is gone. Or else it's just my computer wacking out. I've tried the last couple of days and get no response from the website. Would someone else check for me? Thanks Sherry

Our latest household addition, Bubbles, seems to prefer rejoining the great outdoors. Bubbles is about 8 months old and was one of 4 kittens born to a semi-feral mom under our home. As the months went by, he more than the others seemed interested in what went on in the house. Bubbles would...

And he's back in typical tom cat fashion.... 'Told wifey to make up her mind - either get him neutered and keep him in full time or forget taking him in and keep him outside. As it stands now he wants to go out and run all night then come inside and sleep all day. No, No, Nooooo - won't work....

I'm in love with two long haired black cats at the shelter I volunteer at. Both have long fangs that protrude below the upper lip and a bit over the lower lip. I've never seen this before...seems to be genetic. Will they have dental problems later? Has anyone else seen a buck toothed cat?

Making breakfast for the girls this morning, I looked down and only saw one intent fact staring up at me when I popped the lid. I put the food down. Before I had time to look for her, Buddha jumped up on the table, pounced on the feather duster, and she, it, and the whole mess including sugar...

She's down to 16 lbs, that's two pounds from about four months ago. She has been getting canned only now, not even any dry treats. Since she is 10 now, almost 11, I really want to help her get the weight off so she can live another 10 years. Thanks to all who advised.

My hyperthyroid cat is nevertheless very fat. Given her risk of diabetes, and with Phil's recent post regarding a canned-only diet as one that can prevent and even help to correct diabetes, she now gets no dry food (even treats) and two three-ounce cans of food per day. This is day four, and she...

(Buddha is a severely hyperthyroid 10-year-old fat tuxedo cat who has fainting spells, who had an ultrasound of her heart a week or so ago, which was healthy, and is now on Tapazole and a beta blocker, for new people.) Her heart rate is ranging between 160 and 180 bpm now, (it was 300+) and she is...
