Whatever was in those first antibiotics I gave Vino, they seem to have made him really ill. I got new antibiotics and got one dose into him and he hasn't improved. In fact, he's totally off his food now, won't eat a thing. Not ham, not kitty treats, not ground beef, nothing. He dry heaves...

June is still in ICU, sedated and on a ventilator. The swelling in her brain is going down but not enough for them to operate tomorrow, so it will probably happen some time towards the end of next week. -- Shirley http://community.webshots.com/user/shirleycatuk

Lily has managed to get stung on the lip by something. It's all swollen up and she looks like a collagen lipped porn queen with a trout pout. Those Brits of you who know, she looks just like Lesley Ash did after the infamous lip plumping episode. Her lip literally blew up since tea time. TED has...

Good news: They are so TINY!!! each of them are the size of my foot, and i'm a size 6 1/2. One is black and white with a tiny tux and gloves thing going. The other is orange and white with a little bit of tabby stripes. and they have such TINY little tails and their eyes are a little bluish. ...

DH ordered a new queen bee and it came in today's mail. They come in a little cage about the size of a small matchbox, with 4 or 5 drones in with her. I opened up the package to give her a little water and just laid the little cage on the bar. I've been outside quite a while, came in and the...

I can't BELIEVE that Meowmie had the NERVE to bring in two absolutely UGLY bitties!!! It was repulsive. They were wandering about and playing with MY springy toy and on MY cube. I don't care if I haven't played with it for over a year, it's still MINE!!!! And they little upstarts were so...

I really miss the bitties but at least i have the pics to remember them by. Here one i took with my camera phone of me leaning back in my chair and the two little bitties were just snoozing on my chest and neck. They were purring and very very...

Two weeks ago, my Lily presented me with her first ever hairball. She just now gave me her 2nd one. In both instances, she did not warble prior to horking it up, which means, that awful noise is reserved for when her horking is due to nausea. I can very much relate to that! What I've learned...

Dennis rode his bike to the vet while I was working today. He visited with Vino for 2 hours. He's doing ok, still has the catheter in and is draining into a bag. He will be ok but is still pretty out of it. He hunkered down on a table with Dennis hugging and petting him. The vet's office has...

I just got a call from a child, probably about 8 years old: "Um, hi, um, my sister and me, we, um, saw some footprints, some cat footprints, in our yard, and, um, we think it might have been Smudge." Is that adorable or what? She (or he, hard to tell) then went on to name the street they lived...

Around 8:30pm, I went to say good night to Oscar at the clinic, bringing freeze dried chicken treats with me on a hunch. Oscar looked like a total zombie, but when I got there she made the effort to move forward and rub her face on me. I gave her a piece of the chicken, and suddenly she showed...

I warned you. It's long with some background. Let's see --- Shadowkitten, myself and the Ex (not ex then) lived in a slum rather poorly-owned by an alcoholic criminal (I have nothing against alcoholics, just criminals). At one point the criminal element became so violent, it necessitated me and...

Well, I stayed away until I was able to deal with my feelings about some of the postings of the group and think I can go back to ignoring them. I'm probably going to lurk a bit at first though to make sure that I can keep my opinions to myself for a while. On the home angle, the owners are...

Apparently the word "can" has become synonymous with "Here, kitty" in this household. Baby Eyes is usually not fond of gooshy food, but every once in a great while, she will partake. Today was one of those rare days. I keep cat food cans stacked on the floor in a corner of the kitchen, right...

My mixed breed long-hair, Beauty, is much better-off barbered, especially in the 90+ degree humidity. It wasn't a bargain/cheap fur-cut; but the vet's assistant did a great job. Over $100. My ole fatty kitty doesn't look "ratty," because the vet put her

It went from 437 to 215 on today's test he goes in for his curve test next Wednesday. I know he is not going to be a happy camper being there all day Sorry about not responding to everyone's post I am coming to the newsgroups and just skimming thru them. Blanket purrs and hugs for...

And it didn't go too well. *SIGH* First they had planned to just look at my stomach and upper intestines so they did a "live" barium swallow x-ray. I watched my insides along with the radiologist and saw the liquid going down. On this screen I saw all the sausage-looking intestines and in...

My Mom had just settled in bed last night, and was starting a little pre-sleep reading, when Stinky came into her room, walked around the bed , fixed her with a meaningful look, and said "MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW." Then he picked himself back up, and went out again. He had just eaten, his water...
