    The "Missing TCS Members" Thread

    I'm still around.  Unfortunately, life has been too busy for me to be active here for quite a while.  Maybe when I retire next year...

    MY MOM SPRAYED MY CAT WITH CLEANER

    There's not much the vet can do that you haven't done.  Just keep a sharp eye on her.  Wiping her down with a microfiber towel wet down with distilled water might help, but it's probably really too late.  Be sure she has plenty of good, clean water to drink.  Watch her litter box for any new...

    Whoa, sub-$2 gas

    The lowest I've seen is $1.69/gallon. But then, they're fracking like crazy down here. New York needs to pay more, or start fracking their own resources.

    We need some advice/help, please...

    Sixteen months is a little late for neutering, but it's sure better than never. Emory may well have had a bad experience before your sister got him.  Cats survive on reactions to little clues, so they remember very well anything that may have led to a bad experience in the past.  To put it in...

    For most tablets, you can get a bluetooth keyboard.  Some are better than others, of course.  They also work with smart phones.

    Help with naming kitten!

    Eventually, a "right" name usually suggests itself.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  He really won't care what you call him.

    Having trouble with a foster kitten not growing

    I'm very sorry to hear about your kitten.  There are so many things that can affect them, and there is even a problem called "Fading Kitten Syndrome."  But every one of these little fluffies breaks our heart when they go too soon.

    Advice please!

    The best bet is to restrict him to a small area, such as a bathroom, as much as possible when you aren't with him. We recently had a foster who we were beginning to despair of, but 3 days of restricting him to the bathroom got him straightened out.

    Alberta, Canada got snow today (Sept 3, 2014)

    Joe B.astardi, formerly the head meteorologist at Accuweather, now runs a long-term forecasting company for corporate clients, utilities, municipalities, etc. He says the Pacific has been in a cooling cycle since 1994, and the Atlantic has just entered a cooling cycle. The result, he says...

    Odd kitten behavior

    A little further on this.  Punkin, who my wife picked out at the shelter, has a definite preference for me.  He wants attention from me, follows me around the house, greets me when I come in the door, follows me into the bathroom.  Sterling, who I picked out at the shelter, is definitely...

    Bleeding after being neutered!!! Is this normal?

    A little more explication.  A little bleeding is normal.  Did your vet use sutures or glue?  Our vet does it through such a tiny hole that they don't use anything.

    Half my life ago...

    I was between trucking jobs and had just started working at a miniscule oil company owned by a high-school friend. That was 1983.

    Odd kitten behavior

    Who knows what goes on in those little peanut brains? Every cat I have ever had had people preferences.

    Bleeding after being neutered!!! Is this normal?

    Call the vet if it continues. But in one day, I wouldn't be too worried.
