LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - All dogs go to heaven. And the ones from West Hollywood may now get there with their ears and tails intact. The mayor of West Hollywood -- a liberal, pet-embracing city adjacent to Los Angeles that two years ago brought America a ban on the declawing of cats -- has...

Just a quick update - my cat had a check up tonight and her heart rate and temperature were all normal.

We have a nice dusting of new snow (mebbe half an inch) tonight in Minnesota. I took Louis the Bengal outside on his leash, and he scrupulously avoided even going near it. He found all the dry spots under the porch and the second-floor roof. Tiger frantically pawed at the picture window. Louis...

We have a Manx long hair cat, Fred. I noticed that he is losing hair in a spot on his back hip. I thought that it might be mange ,but there is no scaling. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?

It occurred to me, while surfing various cat sites, that if you bred cats (only experience with breeders I've had is acquiring our wonderful Bengal, Louis), you'd have to either have the males outdoors or in cages, or else they'd spray everything in site! Is that what happens? What a pity! I was...

Had a little bit of a setback after the vet recommended taking Moses down from 1.2 cc to .8 cc of Prednisone a day for his IBD. (He takes the liquid version, BTW, since we're having to do this every day. I know the drill of how to properly do it and am able to give Moses pills when I have to,...
