Ok, so we all know AOL sucks, but in their trailer for the new Garfield movie, they have a link that says "search for cute kittens to adopt". Nothing like promoting spur-of-the moment impulse adoptions...I only hope it links to reputable sources - I didn't look. :p -L.

I emailed many of you, and in another group. Shadow passed away today after 2 years since his IBD diagnosis, and FeLV contraction. This morning his stomach or something burst and he vomited blood and clots and mucous. It seemed to come out of the blue since he seemed fine last night. This weekend,...

This is mainly to Cheryl, as she has become the "expert" on IBD, but I welcome any and all advice! Hi, Cheryl. I have a cat that I suspect has IBD. He has been losing weight. He lost all his fat and when I pet him he feels bony to me. He passes a lot of gas and has smelly loose, yellowish...

The little monster got away from me. A cute little orange/white kitty showed up in my yard on Saturday out of the blue, very chatty, begging to eat, and never left my yard again. I can't bring him in because I have a cat separation issue going on inside anyway. So I've fed him, of course, and...

Hi, everyone. Here it is, 72 hours-and-counting without sleep, because-- I have to admit it-- My Dorrie stinks up my bedroom so badly, I just do not sleep. My little angel is a smelly cat! This sleeping arrangement problem is a new problem because (as some group members already know), I...

We got 2 new kittens a couple months ago. They are 4 months old now. A few weeks ago, we suddenly realized we had severe fleas. We had the vet flea bath them and he sold us Frontline. Right at the same time, we flea bombed the house but it was only partially effective. So, we applied the...

The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

I was just writing yesterday that Gracie seeks me for attention and petting, but hates to be picked up. So last night I was reading in bed the way I like to do before I go to sleep, and she hops up and greets me, gets some petting, stretches out on the pillow beside me, and I go back to my...

She knows a lot about it, but anyone may chime in. I might just be writing for therapy though. Jewel is in attack mode again right now. I had been sitting outside and a neighborhood cat climbed on my lap. Jewel knows the sight and the smell of this cat, in fact earlier in the day he "Simba" also...

We've had the cardboard off the screen-door for a week, and were getting ready to do the inverted playpen thing (reconstructed from memory out of old advice on cat intros). Louis the Bengal (outside) figured out how to climb the screen, and managed to un-latch the screen door, giving him access to...

Hi, My daughter and her roommate have two kittens, about 8 or 9 months old. One has become seriously overweight. With one cat they can limit food but with two I don't know what you do. The cats are unattended when the girls are at work. They are left with food. The overweight fellow has always...
