My parents' cat was a rescue and was about 5-6 years old when they adopted her. She came through her spay procedure just fine. The benefits FAR outweigh any potential risks. I was a nervous wreck when all 3 of mine were spayed, but it's a great relief to know I saved them many potential issues...

Good luck with the apartment hunting! Hope you find something that you love

Lots of movies, lots of housecleaning, now getting ready to read a book til I fall asleep. Insomnia is alive and well in this house, unfortunately.

I'm new around here -- but wanted to stop in and say congrats!

So happy to hear that he is home and doing well!

The two cats I have that don't have chronic health issues go once a year for basic checkups and whatever shots are due at the time (we usually get a postcard reminder from the vet on who's due for what).

I came to work this morning and I am the only person in my office! It's Spring Break at the University I work at so the rest of the faculty is gone. Looking forward to getting a work project done by noon then spending the rest of the afternoon holed up in my office reading

Sending good thoughts to your kitties. My parents' two seniors are no strangers to respiratory infections and they seem miserable Hope yours begin to feel better soon

Hi! I'm new to the board but just wanted to say I'm so glad to hear your great news!

Hi, I had a similar experience with Heidi when she was about that age. I rescued her from a shelter that had spayed her just the week before. Had her for about 2 days and she acted and played like any healthy kitten would. Woke up on the third morning and found her balled up in the laundry...

Owning a Great Dane is on my bucket list someday. They have the best dispositions and I big dogs! My Malamute was the runt in his litter and is around 80-85 lbs and I was disappointed that he didn't push 100

John Stewart had some commentary on this week about Libya. I won't post it because I'm not yet 100% familiar with forum rules about political opinions, but I'm sure if you google it you can find it. I got a little chuckle out of "...We're at war? Again?? Don't we already have two of those???"

Hi! Like you, I also have 3 cats (but all are girls, and all are spayed). 99% of the time, everyone gets along, or at least is indifferent to one another. But occasionally Heidi and Pepper will go through a phase of 2-3 days where they hiss and growl at one another and we really have to get onto...

I think she looks fine weight-wise. She sure is a cutie

First of all, thank you so much for the input so far. I'm glad it's a slow day in my office (spring break at a major university = no students) because I spent about two hours on the yourdiabeticcat.com website and another hour or so on mycatinfo.org page. Both were INCREDIBLY helpful. I have to...
