I stopped at the pet supply store today, and noticed a new addition-- an orange kitten, about 5 weeks old -- his brothers and sisters were still in the back-- he's the early explorer of the family, already testing out all the cat furniture. Oh, he is going to be quite the orange boy. Already...

Got a roast beef sandwich from the deli today. I was sitting in the breakroom watching People's court eating it, with Pete at my elbow examining my every move. He tried to walk from the desk he was sitting on to the TV tray and paw at the sandwich. I shooed him off and he jumped to the ground. ...

It was a little past midnight, and I had the con. I was saving the world. All right, I was sitting at the puter, playing BounceOut. THe world needs to be saved from exploding rubber balls, after all. Stinky comes along and sits at my feet. YOO-OOOOW! he says. Pet me, Mommy. I reach down...

Thank you all for your purrs and prayers and good wishes for my boy. I am positive they have helped. DH and Mike and I went to Florida today to see an internal medicine specialist, and were there for most of the day. The clinic had various specialists (even a veterinary opthamologist!) and only...

This is in response to the "Vet assistants" posting. I've always wondered the same question in terms of salary. But here's what I learned the first day of class last February when I started down this career path There are two types of assistants to a vet. The first is the common vet tech or vet...

I had a long day at the vet hospital today. Worked from 8 to 6 with an hour lunch. The day started out with an euthanasia which I assisted with. *sigh* Not a good way to start out the day..... Anyways, the day did get better. I got to be with Pete, I checked on the two lumps, (see Two Lumps)...

Woman brought in an orange kitty about 10 weeks old. Yep, I was going "Awwwwwwwww........" I helped the doctor look in his eyes and ears, but then it time to take a few cc's of blood. The kitten squealed and wiggled out of my grasp. We got another tech and she couldn't hold him still. Then we...

Hi Krista: Just wondering if you've noticed a difference at all with Mike since he's been on the meds for a couple of days?? Susan M Otis and Chester What will I tell the manicurist????

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...

The three kitties went outside this morning and had fun playing leapfrog in the back yard. I was deep into the Sunday newspaper when I heard it - sounds of a 'fight to the death' cat fight. When I got to the back door there was the evidence - wet patches and tufts of Bonnie's hair. FSP was up...

Have your hair cut? Elisabet

Today is my 9th anniversary with my Meowmie. I also turn 10 this month. Meowmie said it is a BIG milestone. Many times she wondered whether I can make it to my 10th purrsday as I had a history of FUS. But here I am, still kicking. I didn't get any present from Meowmie. She said she already spent...

Was the question I had when I was often away from home and my cat, Pinkeltje, was home alone. At first I was thinking about hiring a nanny for Pinkeltje but that didn't work out that well. Then I saw this man on tv who had the same problem with his cow "Betsie" and he decided to kill her and make...

For the last year I have used two self cleaning littermaid litter boxes for my cats. Being cat's they managed to ruin the "comb" and motor portions of the $100.00 each litter boxes in about 4 weeks. So I have been hand scooping the boxes. In addition the litter boxes have no top, so the deposits...

All four are doing fine - but we are still battling that nasty ringworm. I had a spot of it on my neck, but a few days treatment with Lamisil AT seems to have gotten rid of it (at first it didn't seem to be working, but then I covered it with a band-aid (it was a fairly small spot) to a) keep me...

Ah well, this has been one frustrating evening for trying to stay logged on. We've been having a very dry couple months here, which helped me forget that one of the common problems with out phone lines. When we get heavy rain, or rain after dry spells, we have the devil of a time logging on and...

One of my ex-tom ferals has been straining and dribbling. Looks like UTI to me. I went and got Amox. but I am going to have to try to slip it in something. Tuna or canned cat food maybe. I don't think there is anyway to catch him again. I didn't see him tonight after I got the meds. Any ideas?...
