Having had a recent run of baby possum interactions with the boys, I figured that there must be an adult around. Sure enough, yesterday Espy was sitting on the back wall in the backyard, looking intensely at something behind a shed in the next yard. I look and there is an adult possum, moving...

I hope this doesn't ruin the food. I feed two of mine California Natural. I know some of you use Innova. http://www.naturapet.com/news/letter.asp

For those of you who made such an emotional investment in replying to my recent post regarding the semi - feral tom that visited my home last week, here is an update and explanation for that post. Those of you who have followed my recent posts about my own animals would have a difficult...

/Stolen from another forum/ For those still confused about food, more fuel for the fire (yes I know these things always cause flame-wars but the readers need to form their own opinion) http://www.avma.org/convention/recap/news/tuesday16.asp "Since cats became domesticated, they have been fed...

Well, it seems the Peewuss is majorly on the mend. He passed yet ANOTHER huge furball - this time barforola-ed it all over the room this morning, but I'm pretty sure that this giant furball was the main cause of his problem. This cat has been on hairballl remedy food for the last five years or so...

When a cat sits with his legs tucked under him, and his tail wrapped around his back legs, looking much like a loaf of bread, is his mood good, bad, or indifferent? Jack, and to a lesser extent Rizzo, will pose like this in various places around the house. Usually it's when they're on the...

Gracie and Jenny were indoor only sisters from the same litter, but Jenny died last November. Gracie has gotten too used to being an only cat, besides I am certain that she was starting to go nuts with the solitude. A two year old calico. So we took in Max, when we got the chance, last Monday. ...

See http://members.lycos.co.uk/waweldragon5/html0002 to see some photos of the cat :) I will post news if I get any

There'll be many cooks in the kitchen next Thursday—but don't spoil your pet by giving him bread dough. According to veterinarians at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), when bread dough is ingested, an animal's body heat causes the dough to rise in the stomach. As alcohol is produced...

Excluding, of course, ....the McNasty Cyber-PUSS..and old Matt aka Scrooge who seems to have had his cage severely rattled. Ach, at least he's awake now with, hopefully a little red stuff flowing. Matt, whenever things just HAPPEN to go tits-up with your PC..............think of ME, laddie. 'Cos...

Hi, My cat has a 1.5 cm lump in her liver, just brought her in for blood tests to see if her blood coagulates enough or a biopsy. My feeling is that it is cancerous...One question is, since it's in the liver it's inoperable..is radiation an option? Would this work? I guess it would be $$$$$ But...

Our newest stray, who I've named "Ringo" because of his prominent, ringed tail, seems to be doing quite well, even though we can't provide a home indoors for him. We bought a pet carrier from a local thrift store, and lined it with plastic and newspapers. Then we put it in our backyard, wedged...

Someone posted a warning on lily pollen being poisonous to cats. Thanks for the warning. Even if you dont ever buy lilies, sometimes people bring them. Its useful to know. DB

.... on my post about our 14-year-old cat who is basically wasting away to skin and bones before our eyes, even though he eats enormous amounts of food, and is unable to control his defecation, and showed the enormously high liver enzymes on the bloodwork and lymphoma is suspected.. I am going to...

I really appreciate it!

My cats have been a handful lately. Some may remember Reggie's eye problem -- it went away for a while but is back, thankfully we have an opthamologist in town and when they come back from vacation next week he'll see Reggie. So I'm optimistic about that. The other big problem was Simon. He...

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the advice in response to my questions about Bengals and Maine Coons. I've decided on a Maine Coon, and am in the process of selecting a breeder (and especial thanks to Orchid for the excellent article on how to go about this). Cheers Bruce

Thank you for taking time to reply to this question. I will look for the lime sulphur dip. Impossible to isolate the kitten , so should I dip all the cats in the group? This sounds like a much bigger problem than I would have guessed! This kitten had been stuck in a tree for 2-3 days and...

I wanted to thank everyone for the advice regarding my Tribble kitty and her CRF. I brought her to another vet who prescribed something for her nausea, 1/4 tablet Pepcid AC daily. She also gave me Tumil K pills, instead of the gel that I had been unsuccessfully using. Tribble is on 100 cc of...
