Is it in an apartment or if they can get outside to hunt a bit? Discuss.

Will cats get bit and carry/spread/catch lyme disease? Do the usual shots prevent this? Boston news criers are warning about lots of ticks this year. Brad

As some of you know, my long haired cat has some sort of allergy that causes her to lick parts of her hind legs and feet which causes sores. The vet thinks its a granuloma problem as she's tested negative for ringworm and doesn't appear to have fleas (she's mainly white haired). She's...

Thea & Bono returned to their winter quarters this weekend, after more than two months at their summer residence. My parents brought them in the car and they had an uneventful 10 hr drive, cats sleeping - they know when it's The Long Drive and hardly bother to come out when they are offered to...

Now the light mornings are well and truly upon us, I am woken ever earlier by three felines demanding to be allowed out into the garden at times when any civilised being should be tucked up in bed snoring... At five this morning, already daylight outside, I was forcibly dragged away from the Land...

Bandit is now getting so skinny her hip bones are sticking out! She's still eating - even being blind, she can get up and down from my bed with her ramp. But she's starting to get "lost" in the middle of a room and sits and cries for me to come get her. She can no longer make it to the garage...

First, Lola's upset tummy, then her bee sting and now this, an upper respiratory infection ... all within the course of a week. According to the handwritten chicken-scratch on the label, her doctor has given her something called (winging it here) "Baytril?" which she started on Sunday night. Much...

Has anyone been in touch with Grace to know how she's doing. I'm still very worried about her and would like to know that she's OK (or as OK as she can be right now). Hugs, CatNipped

We will be in Las Vegas for 6 days on our trip and want to see some shows. However I am not familiar with a lot of entertainers I have seen on the Las Vegas show website. We like middle of the road stuff and musicals and I am wondering whether we should book a few shows ahead via the hotel we...

Has anyone heard from Jill and Buffy?...or news about Pawleys Island? The only thing I saw on the news about Pawleys Island is that they have lost cell phone service. I hope we will see more details, and hopefully good information. MaryL

We've completed the move (on 24 Sept, actually), got the internet connection back up today - finally. After a long week at work we warmed the sauna, had a pizza and I went to the computer. After some time DH Janne comes and asks if I've seen Nico around lately. I say that I hadn't, but he likes to...

I have just one question. What is that thing on her head? For a moment, I thought she had twigs in her hair. Then I realized they were feathers (I think). But it kind of makes her look like a porcupine. I personally think she should have worn some kind of subtle pink or rose or something. Ah...

So, I'm at Petco, just picking up a cartful of cat food, when a guy stops suddenly and says "you look like a cat person!" That obvious, huh? And he proceeds to question me about whether a Siamese cat would be a well-behaved cat, or is it true that they are high-strung? And what *would* be a...

I had a bit of an emotional outburst with Maya this morning. Let me rephrase that, I lost it. Maya decided when Bruiser arrived that I no longer had the privledge of brushing her anymore. Never mind that she liked it and had come to purr as the first stroke of the brush went through her fur. I...

Hello, I hope this is the proper group for maybe some help or shedding some light on my cats condition. About a week and a half ago I noticed our female cat who is roughly 15-16 years old..looked alot thinner..she has not been eating, or eating very little...I noticed she acts a little like she has...

I finally got around to putting some pics of Ping on Webshots. Some of you may have seen the first few, but the rest of them show how relaxed he is now :) http://community.webshots.com/album/215541203ZDDCqy --? The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy...

Things have been relatively peaceful around here for a few weeks. The orange tabby from across the street has stayed away from the patio for a bit (as far as I know; it could be wandering over when I'm at work). But earlier this evening I heard ROWWWRLLLLL and the sound of the mini-blinds being...

Dad had surgery for blockages in the arteries in both his legs last year. One didn't quite "take" and they went in again. Apparently it still isn't right; he's not getting enough blood flow down the leg. So on Monday morning, May 1, they are going to insert a balloon to open up the artery. Dad...

Hi, For all of you who don't know me I am John, Kajikit's DH. This all came about when everybody gave her advice about intergrating Tessie into the house. Realise by house I mean apartment. I am of the opinion that the intergration needs to happen fast and that we need to let the girls sort it...

You will not believe Enid's vet bill that came today. The vet did warn me that the bill would escalate to 200 pounds if I went for the endoscopy so I said to hold off for a couple of days to see how the antibiotics worked and if they didn't I'd think again. The invoice is for 233 pounds 30 pence...
