you may have planned on doing this already, but may i suggest adopting a puppy from a shelter/rescue group rather than buying one? maybe that's what you meant when you said "buying."

just in case it sheds more light on the situation, delph is just over 11 pounds, josie is around 9 1/2 pounds and kaley, who i think might be a runt, is just under 6 pounds. maybe the weight difference is a problem? thanks, steph

Hi, i just introduced (yesterday) a kitten (about 6 months old) into my home. i need some help/advice as to what to expect and what to do. she was born of a stray and a friend of mine finally managed to trap her and her brother in her home. she took well to being inside and loves attention and...

innova has been called the mercedes of natural foods...and the same company that makes innova makes natural choice, which has less veggies in it, making it easier for kitties withi sensitive tummies to digest. BUT, i have a kitty with a sensitive tummy and i found that innova and wellness (i...

one thing that i need to point out is that some no-kill shelters get government funding, which means that they have to give animals up to RESEARCH FACILITIES if they are required to do so. when choosing a no-kill shelter (if that is important to you), you may want to ask if they ever, EVER give...

is there any news about seven? she is in my thoughts.

hi, stashos, i wish i could be of some help, but i'm having the same problem as you. i'd like to make the switch, but i've sort of been scared out of it. i know it's possible, and would really like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on this rather controversial topic. i don't want to...

thanks to everyone who replied to my question. i found a cotton collar online with a beverly hills company called catcouture...it was pricey, but well worth it, since she doesn't seem to be having any reactions to it. i feel so much better now - next step is to get her used to having a tag on...

i'm sure you've thought of this already, but is there any chance that seven was too young to go home in the first place? maybe she's missing her mom too much. also, you said she's your youngest kitty? could she be stressed if around other older cats/kittens? maybe being at a vet isn't a less...

Hi, i've posted a few things before, and you've always been so helpful. i have two girls, delph and josie. josie wears a collar with a name tag, but delph is allergic to the collars i've tried and gets bad kitty achne under her chin - so bad the hair falls out and it gets all scabby and painful...

i do not know if this is the place to do this, and i do apologize if it is incorrect of me, but for all of you who were mortified at that story (rightly so, i might add), please do some research on the internet on what goes on to billions of other equally innocent, equally cute, and equally...

thanks so much for getting back to me. yes, they have both been to the vet, last time at the end of feb when jos had a bad bout with the diarrhea. they got all the tests under the sun and the vet said it's a kind of irritable bowel, collitus (sorry about botching both of those spellings) kind of...

hey, everyone, i have a bit of a problem. delph has been living with me since last september, and josie since last november. they didn't get along until the end of january, at which point they became really good buddies. they are still good friends, i think (they play fight by rolling around on...

thanks for your reply. i've heard the same thing, which is why i'm asking around. i've also heard, though, that i could purchase something to add to their food that would supply them with the necessary things to keep them healthy. thanks.

I live a vegan lifestyle, and would like to switch my girls to a vegetarian lifestyle, too, but have heard that it is hard to have cats on a veggie diet. Can anyone give me information on where I can get adequate food for them and what I should do to make the switch successful? One of my babies...
