    What's The Weather And Temperature Like Where You Live?? 2022

    I'm in Orlando, Florida, where it's currently 61 degrees at 11:30 am. However, the overnight low tomorrow is going to be 31 degrees, and the high on Saturday is going to be 47 degrees! The overnight low on Saturday is forecasted to be only thirty degrees. I realize that compared to the rest of...

    Feral Cat Mange

    Mange is a miserable, miserable disease. I've recently had a number of foxes in my backyard with it, and I was able to successfully treat them using THIS protocol. But if you're actually able to handle your poor infected strays, the safest course of treatment would be Revolution Plus. You can...

    Friendly kitten visiting - what to do?

    It sounds as if he's really suffering due to all the fleas. Perhaps you could give him a bath using dish soap? That's basically free and it would alleviate a good many of the them. Just be sure to put a ring of soap around his neck first so that the fleas don't all migrate to his face. He...

    Please find a way to get Billy to the vet. You've already stated that your family is unwilling to help, so at this point you're all Billy has. She's depending on you, and your actions may very well determine whether she lives or dies.

    When to know whether dental work is needed

    I absolutely agree with Pearl99 and Kirikara. In situations like this, it's imperative you have a vet you trust. If your vet is recommending this course of action and feels as through it's safe for your cat, I would absolutely proceed. Let us know how she does, and please know that I think...

    Orlando Pet Alliance Fire

    You're welcome, Neely. It's so sad. I've spent countless Saturdays working as a volunteer there. I just can't stop thinking about those poor cats and how scared they must've been. 😢

    Orlando Pet Alliance Fire

    The Orlando Pet Alliance, a local rescue group and low cost vet center, caught fire early this morning. All of the dogs were saved but approximately twenty-three cats died in the fire. They are asking for donations. If anyone can help, I can certainly vouch for the rescue. Thank you! How...

    Help with transition

    What about sprinkling cat nip on the new food? Would that entice her?

    Help with transition

    I feel your pain. Really, I do. Several years ago, when Hare Today had no ground rabbit whatsoever, my lovely female tuxedo cat, Thirteen, began to channel Irom Chanu Samilla. In all seriousness, I had to force feed her or she would have died. I tried absolutely everything, even ground rabbit...

    Target launching new line of pet food Aug. 15

    Saw this at target today and picked up a few cans. My lovely gray cat Atticus devoured it but he's not picky at all. I was wondering what the folks here would think of it.

    Spay worries

    Willowy is absolutely right about spaying being more difficult on older cats. I work in property management and do a lot of TNR work on the properties. The younger gals seem to barely even slow down after a spay, but the older cats take longer. I've kept them indoors for over a week before...

    NV Raw Signature frozen raw line discontinued

    Have you ever tried Darwin's? My incredibly picky cat Thirteen went on a hunger strike several years ago where Hare Today ran out of ground rabbit. She wouldn't even eat ground rabbit from other suppliers . . . BUT when I gave her Darwin's she gobbled it up like nobody's business. I swear...
