Funny story; my old 55 gal "project" fish tank set up is now in the house empty and close to ready for reseal.... One of my cats has made it his hang out and loves to go in there! It is so funny, his name is "Little Darkie" and he's a very funny guy. When in there he rolls around and will...

The time has come for us to open our hearts to some kitties who need a permanent home. It has been a long time since we adopted cats, and they have always been kittens. This time, we would like to adopt two adult cats together, preferably two who have been companions. I have never adopted adult...

I see these very expensive scratching posts at Petsmart. I was thinking of making my own scratchin post for our new cats. Does carpet really provide a scratching post for the cats? These things they sell look like fun toys for the cat but do they really provide a scrathin post. I thought they...

It's smalll, and a little bloody, We let him outside, but should I be worried?

We had a litter of 5 kittens dumped at the shelter yesterday. They were left in a carrier with a pillow in front of the carrier (so we wouldn't see them? not sure what the pillow was for) at the fence. They range in size from 3 lbs to 1 lbs, all have conjunctivitis and URI. The two...

Tee shirts also allow you to be far more creative than a simple invitation by card. If there is going to be a band performing at your birthday party, put a picture of the band on the shirt with their logo. If you are looking to have a beach themed party, create a shirt full of color with palm trees...

I am facing a real dilemma with a stray cat that hangs out near my apartment complex. He's part of a local trap-neuter-return program. I had decided to adopt him because some of the people who live here hate cats and have made threats to harm them. He likes people so I figured he'd be the easiest...

Hi, My cat Nemo was just diagnosed with CRF. His numbers were all completly normal with the exception of the BUN, which was only 12 points about normal. I am feeding him pretty much whatever he wants for now but he doesn't seem to want to eat and he isn't drinking much water. Otherwise he acts...

Get it? You don't. You take them to the ****ing vet. You FIND the money. If you're posting here, I know you're paying for Internet, probably highspeed,and that you probably have a ****ing computer you could hock. You do not "wait and see" and go buy yourself this week's groceries. You do not...

I have a 9 year old cat and it underwent surgery on Monday to have a tumor removed from its left flank. It lies down doing nothing, only drinking water. This evening it will be 72 hours of the operation. I'm waiting for the results of the biopsis. The Vet said that it was a huge tumor. I'...

I want to raise this to everyone's attention here. Steve Crane pointed this out in a post buried in another thread here, however this warrants a thread of its own to bring the information "up front" so to speak. October 15th issue of JAVMA (Volume 223 Number 8) details a study in which it was...

I was wondering what was better for cats, bio spot or frontline? My house was infested with fleas (I rent and it was the previous owner's fault) and even though I had an exterminator in here last week, my cats had a flea bath but both the house and cats are still crawling with fleas. We're...

Hi, I have recently adopted a small stray cat, hoping that she will make my older 7 year old cat more playful. Unfortunatly, I have discovered that she has tons of energy and rarely sits down. Whenever somebody is at the door she comes running, she climbs until she gets right under the ceiling,...

Looking at her website (www.puppykats.com) in one of the photos, she has some kind of shack behind her that she keeps the cats in. Sounds like a cat/puppy mill :( Sad too when she sells one of these "puppykats" and it doesn't live up to what someone expects, then what will happen to it. (my own...

I have an 8-year old male cat who has been putting on some weight the past few years. He weighed in at 14 pounds his last vet visit in April and was put on a diet (weight control dry Iams, 1/2 cup a day). He initially adjusted well to his new diet, but since we moved a month ago he has been...

We have two 5-year-old male indoor cats, brothers that were both fixed at 6 months of age. Over the past 6 months on 3 occasions one of the cats has become very dominant and has aggressively attacked the other. So far these episodes have lasted for about 24 hours and then everything goes back to...
