Rather than try another shot of Depo Medrol for my 9 year old female longhair (last one was three months ago), our vet replaced Tresaderm with Gentaved and added 5 mg/day of Prednisolone to try and stop the licking which is either the cause or the effect of her hind leg sores. Anyone have...

Billy has just done the most amazing series of leaps into the air that I have ever seen. He's after a housefly and has jumped at it about eight times so far. Several of his leaps were at least 5' into the air. I've never seen him do this before. He must be really craving to be out hunting.

Five years ago, my Dusty cat had ONE seizure. After blood work, a night in the hospital, x-rays, etc. ... she was sent home with the vet shrugging her shoulders saying "I don't know, I see it in cats sometimes. They'll have one seizure then be fine for the rest of their life." and so far she has...

Who Knew?? How many of these did you know about? A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...) ======================================= Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps...

Baby Chips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two babies were sitting in their cribs, when one baby shouted to the other, "Are you a little girl or a little boy?" "I don't know," replied the other baby giggling. "What do you mean, you don't know?" said the first baby.

Too Good not to share. dave _____________ by Matthew Schocke I have to give a speech for toastmasters tomorrow, #1 from the storytelling series: A Folk Tale. I had some spare time at work today, so I went ahead and did a thorough outline of my 7-9 minute speech. (usually, I go up with minimal...

This is the cat food recipe I found so intriguing: Gotta Have Sole 1/2 pound fillet of sole 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped water 1 tablespoon margarine 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup milk

Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout, Silver or any other feline I happen to encounter or hear about. Yowie, Catnipped, Victor, Dave, Britta and everyone else who posts their sweet cat stories will be...

A short introduction for new readers: I live with two Devon Rex cats, Tinùviel, a five yo female, and her son Teti, three yo. Tonight was a quiet evening for all of us three, until Tinùviel suddenly started coughing. I don't know why she did that, I guess she just got something in her throat that...

I think this picture needs one! Admittedly, it's on a site called "Cute Overload", so you get what you ask for. http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/03/desprately_in_n.html Joyce

Pictures from my excellent Italian adventure are up! It was raining and cloudy almost all the time I was there, so most of these have sort of a "moody" look. ;) http://community.webshots.com/album/548136970VpFUVM Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My...

I suspect it was Baby Eyes. She is MAD at me... for taking her away from the only home she has known for the last six years... I never saw such a cranky attitude from a cat! She's getting over it now.... I brought her and Abelard over to the new house yesterday and she was even cranky in the car...

The results of my brother's PET scan were inconclusive. So he's being referred to an oncologist for further (so far non-invasive) testing. Purrs, please. Jill

It's the old "No I won't let you post!" strategy. I'm well acquainted with it, as Nina is very good at being absolutely and completely in my way. Francesca is pretty good at that too. Especially since we're having very chilly weather around here, and all three cats regard me as their personal...

Things are not going well right now. I'm rushing to get moved completely off the farm and the electricity got shut off, which means no water, can't continue cleaning and vacuuming. I'm almost done, had to take day off Monday because Sunday I tripped, fell and hurt my legs, so I get out there...

Alan Erskine has posted an absolutely adorable video to, news:alt.binaries.pictures.animals it shows a cat 'milk treading' on what looks like a rottweiler puppy. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk

Yes, it was time again for the cleaning of the Drinkwell fountain. I was sadly lax in not cleaning it last Saturday. As a result, when I took it up, drained it, removed the motor and filter and prepared to give it a good scrubbing, Persia was on hand to make sure it was done properly. First, the...

I wish you all had know Stinky many years ago, because he was the hoolikitten to end all hoolikittens-- this should give hope to all you who are patiently enduring your own little marauders. What I find so funny about his "I'm shocked, shocked!" reaction to Dante's antics, is that Stinky was...
