Kitten is growing even more...he's now a grand 1.5 pounds and had his very first deworming pill on Wednesday....even swallowed it on the first try, but gave me a "HEY! That wasn't food!" Mayhem is still supervising when he plays on the bed, watching with mild amusement. tomorrow is my day off...

My niece is fostering a couple of kittens. They came from a pretty bad situation: an old lady living in the country with no means of transportation, who claimed she couldn't afford to have her cats spayed/neutered. So she allowed her cats to breed indiscriminately. The kittens lived in some...

Hi gang. I've had a rough week. First off on Tuesday my father passed out on the floor. I'm thinking he had a heart attack, immediately call 911. Long story short - one heart med he was on caused him to have heart palps so he took three nitro tablets - that mixed w/the heart meds caused his...

I am really worried about her now. Her ribs are evident and I think she is very dehydrated. I am going to be taking her to a different vet because I don't think the one I took her to - the one I take mine to for shots because he is cheap - is good enough for serious things when it comes right...

Well, she is home from kitty hospital. She is MUCH better. She ate half a large can of food tonight. I've never seen her eat so much. She acted like she was starving. Amazingly enough, when I brought her home, there was no hissing and spitting from everyone because she smelled like the vet,...

Some unknown folks emailed Sherry, thinking she was taking Angel to the shelter because of her "antics". Angel was a fostered kitten, ready for a forever-home. If you foster cats, please stand and be recognized! Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

I had a lovely suprise saturday. The adoptive mom and dad of 2 very sick, very feral, very timid and terrified kittens that I fostered in September '04 stopped by out of the blue and knocked on my door. When I got the kittens, they were infested with roundworm to the point they were puking them up,...

http://schatzistreasures.com/images/apersiancat.jpg I got one. Should be here before Christmas. Casey passed Monday from kidney failure. This sorta looks like him. Bobby is missing the Case man as I am. Whenever there is a noise, Bobby runs to see if it is Casey. I swear I thought I heard him...

I found this video-clip of a Cat that seems motivated to talk. Whatever it is the cat is saying, it is awfully cute. http://www.jumpingpixels.com/talkingcat.html

Someone up-chucked on the floor and the pile appeared to contain a rubber band - which turned out to be a live worm (not a tapeworm) about 4" long and maybe 1/16" diameter. I looked up this type of worm and learned that it's hard to eliminate because it migrates through various organs in the...

Silver calmed down in about three hours and stopped hisspitting at her sister... then John came home and he told me to bring the carrier out to the livingroom to see what she'd do. Scouty came along took one look at the monster in the carrier and fled the room... Silly hid under the table and...

Well, it seems that I have been adopted by another kitty. Last night during a very wet rainstorm, I heard howling outside. I went to the door and in strolled this very wet and dirty black and white tuxedo kitten. She looks about 3-4 months old, you know, bigger than a bitty, but not quite...

I dunno if anyone here has already posted this (I don't see it) but in case not: http://www.yogakitty.com/ Be sure to watch the video clips.

I found this on the computer after taking a short break: My dearest Chloe, I love you and always will, but now I have a problem. I've told you that I'll accept whatever decision you decide to make about our relationship. I am quite willing to be pawfasted with you, since marriage isn't an...

Surfing the 'net late at night, as I sometimes do, I came across these two stories. One personal, first. And the second, professional. The first is all too familiar to those who have done rescue work. The second one is just interesting, at least to...
