This is a great thread Chris. I think your avatar now is beautiful, but did have trouble with the closeup that was your avatar before (the one before Kitchi's vampire picture). In my case, the fear comes from having been bitten by a snake as a kid -- the funny thing is I don't remember much...

What is the reason he is being rehomed? I'm a persian owner and have foster persians -- they are beautiful, sweet creatures that often are given up and adopted and given up again because of the high-maintenance issues, so the rescue I work with won't adopt them now unless the potential owners...

we've had both male and female persians and himalayans (colorpoint persians with siamese ancestry). on the whole, they are not among the most talkative breeds, but of course there are exceptions. in general, himi owners report more talking than noncolorpoint persians, but again that's a...

i'm trying to improve the health of my cousin's kitty who is i fear will be on a collision course with diabetes if he doesn't get off his meow mix. my cousin refuses to feed canned or raw in part because of the autofeed kibble convenience... well, you pick your battles, i guess. He is...

What a beautiful tribute to you mom when you show Cleo. Your signature with her is lovely. I am so sorry that your mom was taken from you early. From all I've read from you and your sisters here, it's clear that your mom raised a very compassionate group of kiddos. God Bless Esme

{{HUGS}} We're sending you many good wishes and prayers for a happy, healthy term baby. You've been through so much and I wish you, hubby, and baby the very very very best!!

LOL. Good thing he's not a longhair

I know some of you are involved in volunteer pet therapy and am curious if you've noticed any particular breeds of dog or cat as being well-suited to be a therapy animal. Thank you!

LOL. are you sure you're not spiking the food with catnip, or something?

awesome job on the yeard

please don't be afraid to call back. night calls are part of pediatrics. the answering service will page him/her or another doctor on call. the rash and the temp together would concern me a lot. pls keep us posted on your little one - i hope she feels better soon!

Your poor arms! Have you tried the Feliway diffuser (plug in, not the spray). A friend of mine was in a similar situation with a "teenager" kitty and no joke, he calmed down from the second day she had the diffuser. The package says it can take a few weeks, but the change in Mario has been...

a tear duct problem can manifest as tearing from the whole eye, not just one side. has he been evaluated for allergies? is he one of the shorter nose breeds, which tear more? if it is herpes, feline lysine gel or powder can help with symptoms by interfering with viral replication
