Lauren, I sent you two e-mails, one last night and one today with some network suggestions but they keep bouncing back (Remote host said: 500 SYNTAX ERROR, COMMAND UNRECOGNIZED). :(

I'm pretty new to this group and I've only been lurking. Today's story I'd like to share....................... After saving a little brown tabby lately that we wanted to adopt, we found out he was FelV+. We have 2 other healthy kitties and didn't want to mix them in together. So, we decided...

My cat was having some peeing problems last night so I took him to the emergency vet. They said that he was blocked and catheterized him. The urine sample showed that he had urinary crystals. They kept him overnight and I got him back tonight. They sedated him so that they could examine him...

I cannot believe it but I think my cat killed a bird. She sleeps 23 and a half hours a day and spends the rest of the time eating and sitting like a spinx before sleeping again. This morning was as per normal but I noticed a sorta dead bird about two feet away from her favorite sleeping spot on the...

Keep the cat in the house! Unfortunately, once a female cat goes into heat, she will do as repeatedly (as often as every two weeks) until she is either: (a) pregnant or (b) spayed. It is extremely uncomfortable for her and will get worse rather than better. Your veterinarian may be able to give...

"Brandy Alexandre" wrote in message ... I know we split on this issue about declawing, but I was curious as to your thoughts about renting to cats. I am happy to report that Kami and I will be moving into a very nice...

For about the umpteenth time Liz, please provide us with the commercial foods you think have fewer grains than the comparable Hill's product. I know I have asked you for this many times before and you always refuse to answer. The constant lack of an answer seems to prove you have an...

I have a question, but have looked at some of the flaming that seems to go on here, so I am trying to quell any issues with a little background. My wife, myself and our two cats are moving into my parent's house. However, we're moving into the basement. It's a partially finished basement that has...

This is an update: After wednesday´s visit to the vet (Tabasco got a penicillin shot + a homeopathic remedy to be given at home 3 times a day), we went there again on friday, as the vet requested. I told the vet that I´ve seen no improvement during wednesday and friday. Tabasco was still...

Hi all, I just purchased my first vial of PZI insulin from my vet, for my newly-diagnosed diabetic cat, Sylvester. The vial will last just under two months, at his current dose of 4 units a day, which will probably be increased to somewhere between 8 and 14 units a day, based on my vet's past...

Kaeli's post made me start thinking about our own corps of volunteers. Each year we do an "Appreciation Dinner". We spotlight one in each newsletter with a bio and public thank-you. I was wondering what other shelters do for their volunteers. We absolutely could not run that place without them,...

I was sitting here wasting some time while I wait for some of my jobs to complete and I thought it might be interesting and informative to do a study on the two most controversial subjects out there right now in the field of cat care - EAN and declawing. There is a definite lack of good studies...

Well, I got the kittens some of "Dr Elsey's CatAttract Litter" and let me tell you - it was a godsend! They couldn't stop digging in it, and Marmie made her next poop in her litter box. Now, I of course did another thorough cleaning of the area she was pooping in, and covered it up with some of the...

Oddball question here - I'm currently trying to nurse my 9-year old kitty, who is suffering through pancreatitis, back to health. I'm feeding him Hills wet A/D for easy digestion, but I'm wondering if anyone knows about how long it takes for a kitty to digest approximately 2 Tbs of...

Hello, dear cat owners! I have encountered the following problem while potty-traning my cat Motiy: he pees in the metal bowl placed in the toilet (the bowl then should be taken out so that the cat can use the toilet) but poops in the bath tub. When I first started the training, Motiy did...

http://www.abcpetfoods.com/ I'm looking for opinions from those with first hand experience feeding their cat a raw diet. This is a local vendor that I am considering trying. I would like to avoid making a raw diet myself, if possible, thus the attraction to this vendor. Does anyone have an opinion...
