If you are tender-hearted, *DO NOT* rent this movie. It was in the *children's* section at Hollywood Video, so I thought it would be a touching little movie about two tiger cubs. I had to quit watching it, it literally made me sick to my stomach. The tigers being killed left and right, the abuse...

Okay, I'm in a quandary. When I adopted my neighbor's abandoned, declawed cat, I assumed anyone who'd pay for a declawing would certainly have had the animal neutered. Now I'm not so sure. My new little girl has begun behaving suspiciously like a female cat in heat! Last night she began yowling...

Pardon if this is a stupid question (also pardon, but this is crossposted for the most coverage - I really need info on this), but..... How contagious is herpes in a cat's eye? What degree of contact would it take to pass this from one cat to another? Is this virus the same as or related to the...

The results took so long cause the lab lost one vial of blood and I had to give more. But the results are in now. Saturday I will have a conference with the doc about the results. The results are unbelievable!! Smoking caused my Hct and Hgb to be a bit too high; but everything else is just fine,...

I could really use some job purrs right now. In my continuing saga to find new employment (got outsourced in April, nobody is hiring for anything (and I've been looking in 3 different metro areas in 3 different states + various other places)), I've got a good lead on a 6 month contract job in the...

Well, I'm scheduled for 11:00AM CDST tomorrow (Friday, August 20), and knowing how powerful the purrs from this group are, humbly ask for some purrs that the lithotripsy goes smoothly with no complications. Thanks guys. Hugs, CatNipped

Just wanted to send out mass purrs, congratulations, and laughter to everyone who needs/deserves/asks/whatever. I've been sick for several days, and life is pretty much going to hell in a handbasket, so I have missed two or three days (see, I can't even remember!) of posts, and it's impossible to...

OK, this may shock some of you, so sit down before reading on... I hate to cook. Yes, I *HATE* to cook. My DH says that I'm a very good cook (I think he is only trying to get out of cooking duties when he says this) - so he forces me, every year, to cook Thanksgiving dinner (turkey, stuffing...

The Haven, our local no-kill pet shelter is having a candlelight vigil for homeless and lost pets. I'm getting ready to head out the door now. Will fill you in later. Pam S.

Diwali officially starts today so there will be lots of fireworks tonight, *huge* fireworks that bang and scream. Boyfie is frightened of them so when he asked to go out at 5 pm, I said no. To avoid him moaning "oh, it's *so* not fair.." I went out in the hope he'd go upstairs to bed without...

I know it's been a while since I've posted - I have been lurking a bit, but now I think it's finally time to say goodbye to my friends. I'm down to 88 pounds and everyone, every doctor, nurse, nutritionist, psychiatrist, etc. have come to the conclusion that I'm going to die. No big surprise,...

This is admitting I'm an old, old lady but.... My ninth great-grandchild was born this morning, a girl, weighing in at 6 lb 1 oz, 8 weeks early, tiny, wiggly, hairless, wrinkled, red, and beautiful. Her name is Aegwyn Grace. (Did I ever mention my eighth, now nearly 4 months old, also...

Haven't been here in quite a while. Losing my beautiful Kirby over two years ago sent me into such a tailspin I couldn't bear to stay with the group. But Flippy, bless her soul, has been sending all of those wonderful cat tales along religiously. All of you lucky folks with multiple...

I know it is soon, and Bonnie and Shamrock haven't been retested for FeLV yet, but I've been browsing Petfinder. The first kitty looks just like Marley (RB for over 2 years) but Marley was short-haired. The second has a really sad story. PJ needs socializing, but I've done that with Bonnie da wild...

Was just reading another cats group and there was a message there about another sick, sick case of cat torture. I won't even post the URL or details here, I wouldn't inflict that on you. I was at my desk and had to go to the ladies room to throw up and now I'm crying. It's times like these that...

For anyone that's interested, pictures of our house build are at: http://picasaweb.google.com/badwilson/House Keep checking back because I'm updating on an almost daily basis. Dennis is off at work and won't be back until June. It's very sad that he's missing so much of it, therefore I'm sending...

my cat has the best toy ever made..... all he needs is like 6 little squares of toilet paper and he plays and plays with it for hours and he is 10 years old. I have bought just about every cat toy ever made over the years and even have a toy box to store all these things in. It is only about...
