    My cat is diagnosed with kidney failure

    recently my vet found "problems" with Nibbley's kidneys. He showed me a chart that had four parts to a blood panel. ONE element of the four (forgot the darn name!) was high so the vet put him on Hill's K/D diet to "prevent further issues" Was putting Nibbley on this K/D diet neccessary...

    How many bird owners here?

    His name is BB (short for Blue Bird) and he is a blue mutation Pacific Parrotlet (think Amazon parrot shrunk down to parakeet size). He is a bit independent and nippy, but he loves to snugggle under my hair and he knows "step-up". I've owned friendlier ones in the past,but I love him dearly no...

    Guinea Pig Owners:

    Hi, I have been a member on this site for years and recently opened my home to four male Guinea Pigs. I started out with one pet store pig and wound up adopting 3 others and building two large C&C cages to house them in. On GuineaLynx.com, there is a thread about kitty pics. Many members of...

    After you cat died.

    We just PTS my eldest cat Blondie on April 13th. She was very anxious and sick alot so my Parents decided it was time. She was around 13 years old. I wanted to have her cremated and to keep her ashes in an urn. My mother said it was sick and bordered on idolatry. She wouldn't hear of it. So...

    The Worst Movies Ever Thread

    1. Starship Troopers (horrible mess of a movie) 2. King Kong (the size of the gorrilla kept changing, the fight scenes with the Dinosaurs were ridiculous and ridiculously long, the acting was terrible, the roles were miscast, and I could go on ad nauseum 3. Signs and The Village (both M Night...

    My heart is breaking......

    This is LONG, so I apologize. My oldest cat, Blondie has lived with my parents since I moved away and got married. She is a very, very sensitive soul who gets beat up and terrorized by other cats. She also has a very strong bond with my mother. Due to her age and circumstances I felt it was...

    Cost of Siamese kittens

    You are right papers themselves mean nothing to the uniformed and unfortunately this lack of education is where all those "Siamese", I use the term loosely, come from. Please don't put words in my (or anyone else's) mouth. Papers mean nothing to me because I am not interested in creating more...

    Cost of Siamese kittens

    don't care about papers, here are some in U.S shelters in my area (midwest) They are a tiny fraction of the amount listed just on Petfinder (over 2,000! the number includes Siamese mixes) as opposed to 150+ Aby listed (most are LISTED as Aby mixes, many are not) I would say fewer than 30 are...

    Cost of Siamese kittens

    That's fine and understandable. I was lucky with Nibbley. The shelter said his owners loved him VERY much and he was well-taken care of. He is a purebred, but since I am not breeding (and never will) his bloodline makes no never mind to me as far as him being a loving companion cat...

    Cost of Siamese kittens

    Thanks!! I spotted that one at a Pet Expo in Milwaukee, WI. My husband snatched it up and wouldn't let me get one for myself. (He's kind of possessive of his "boy" Nibbley)

    Cost of Siamese kittens

    I don't know about the UK, but here in the U.S, purebred Siamese in shelters and rescues are as common as dirt (but VERY desirable, lovable "dirt") Here is my beautiful traditional applehead sealpoint boy, Nibbley. At the shelter near me, the fee is waived for ANY cat over a year. He was nine...
