Yes, count me in as another whose cat (Basia) puffs her tail for reasons other that fear. She gets bushy during a vigorous brushing or rubdown.

Taryn, I'm so sorry that I can't offer anything but my sympathy for you and Attitude during this difficult time. I do know what you're going through, as I had a little guy I lost to FeLV not long ago. I had to face the anger, despair, worry and crushing loss of his last day. Please look into...

First, congratulations on the new house! Love that lemon tree, too! Now, exotic uses for excess lemons. Their high acid content makes them a good natural cleaner/solvent for everyday items. I've heard good results from people using lemon juice to soften buildup in ovens. Even microwave ovens --...

Thank you, everyone! Dubya has always been especially friendly with and protective of both Jewel and Tiger, two females we adopted within a couple of months of each other. A cute story about Dubya and Tiger -- we all moved to a new home nearly a year ago. Tiger is very sensitive and easily...

Thank you, everyone! It's been a remarkable change in Alison's attitude toward the rest of the cats. I have to admit -- sometimes I miss her cute snorting at the others -- but I'd much rather see things like this! She has yet to go so far as to cuddle up with her old arch-nemesis Dubya, though...

Thoughts, vibes and prayers for you, your sister-in-law and your entire family during this difficult time.

Thank you! We're really not sure what breeds might have gone into Alison's appearance. She does have blue eyes, which tells me there might be some Siamese variation somewhere in her heritage. She's stocky and quiet though, so it must not be very prominent otherwise.

First, a little history. "Sky" landed at our nearby shelter as a six and half year old spayed female, following the death of her former caretaker. She spent a month there -- grumpy, depressed and hiding in the back of her cage. MommyCat and I couldn't stand to see her like that any more, so we...

My ultimate quotable line is Roddy Piper's classic statement from John Carpenter's They Live: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @$$, and I'm all out of bubblegum!" Movies I could watch forever: LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Watchmen Tears of the Sun...

I'm so sorry about Lucy's little girl, but congratulations to you and Pria!

and prayers for you and for Buddy's health.
