I dropped Demi off at the vet this morning for a teeth cleaning and she'll probably have to have at least on extraction (I think that's why she's been losing weight lately). She is SO scared of her own shadow that a trip to the vet is horrific for her. She could use some calming purrs and some...

I'm in the hospital with a raging soft tissue infection centered om my right eyebrow. Please send purrs for a quick, effective treatment. Hugs and Purrs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request

Well, I saw a two pots of it in the supermarket the other day and I bought it for KFC, I thought it would be some sort of roe, soft and fishy taste to tempt her appetite. I took advice from the internet, and poached it. She did eat the first lot, but threw it up several hours later. She must...

.... who would you most like to meet and talk to there (besides the supreme being)? My choices.... Leonardo DaVinci, Isaac Asimov (as mentioned in the "summer reading" thread), Carl Sagan (just to what he has to say about being wrong about an afterlife), Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Alan...

Has anybody had to deal with a cone on a cat? I'm about to lose my mind. Nanki-Poo has a nasty sore on the back of his neck, as well as some places on the front where he scratched the area where he lost his hair because of the radiation treatments. Aside from the fact that the doctor is...

My cat recently went to the vet as she is 17 yrs. old & her skin tore so she needed stitches & all worked out ok.She came home with a cone around her neck & I was told not to let jump or climb until her stitches came out & gave her antibiotics for the 2 weeks she wore the cone. Then we took her...

A judge in New York has taken 10 million dollars which was inherited by hotel mistress Leona Helmsley's pet dog and distributed the money to 2 of her grandchildren who were left out of her will. The dog inherited a total of 12 million from Helmsley who wanted the money to go to charity if/when...

Silver tabbies are very popular with advertising photographers. There's one on the Whiskas can. But the Somerfield supermarket chain in the UK also uses one on their products (tinned food, cat litter) and she's all but impossible to tell apart from my Muriel. Who I buried in the garden a few...

Both girls are home :0). Betty was spayed as she had finished lactating, Katie wasn't spayed because she still has milk. Betty didn't have the operation on her tail as the vet didn't think it was medically neccessary. :) Both girls were delighted to see their kittens and both girls immediately...

My 2 foster girls, Betty and Katie went into TEDs for their spays this evening. They are staying overnight ready for their ops tomorrow. Betty is also having part of her tail amputated as it has been damaged by cruelty and we were waiting for her kittens to wean. Betty is named after Tak's Betty...

After having a terrible week working out why Lilly didn`t come back from the anesthesia, and feeling guilty and missing her and having to cope with the fact, that Tommy, her sister ran away when seeing me, obviously frightened I would get her as well to the Vet, I am calmer now and things in my...

I had to do a lime dip on the kittens today because of ringworm. I checked on them a few times while they were drying and then put them in the bathroom because they were making an incredible amount of noise. When I went in to check them again, they were cold. Not out of it, but not very active and...

There's a stray mama-cat in front of my house with four kittens. Mama is in rough shape. I've been seeing her around the neighborhood for about a year... last fall, three of her kittens ended up in my yard, starving and flea-ridden. I took them in and nursed them, one didn't make it but the two...

Shadow has been here a while now, and only once has she used a litterbox, and that was forNo.1s. She won't go in any box either of the other cats use, and Pickle thinks its his Bast given right to 'christen' every clean box. I thought she'd taken to doing her business in the small side of the...

Persia completely forgot she was supposed to maintain self-imposed exile under the bed. Mom's VCR isn't working (not getting power at all) so my LLL disconnected it and took it to the kitchen table to look at. He asked if I can find the manual for it. So I went into the bedroom, sat on the...

Tomorrow June 17th we will celebrate Rusty's 13th adoption anniversary. Time sure flies. Hope we have a few more years together. He just turned 14 and is getting really old. Winnie

We just came back from spending a few days in the wonderfully cool Seattle and the San Juan Islands. It's an absolutely beautiful part of the country and I can't wait to come back with more time (I was attending a conference most of the time, Tom was the one who got to do more touristing). We...

Any news on KFC? Helen M (Worried)

I have been adding Cosequin to Amber and Tiger's food for about a month. It's really for Amber who at 13 seems a bit lame. The way I feed them I have to mix it in the food for both of them. Amber seems to be moving a little better so I will keep it up. (I am taking glucosamine/chondroitin for my...

Chester slipped out last night while we were loading the car with things for the party that we were attending. I expected him at the door when we came home but no such luck. It's now 10 AM and there's no sign of him, which is unusual. Any get home now purrs would be greatly...
