    Kitten sensitive to all drugs??

    Trust me - nobody was playing with the kitten, we were trying to keep him calm, and he was just psycho. Even when confined, he was attacking everything he could find from lint balls to bits of paper to his own tail. We don't have rabies in Australia (therefore no vaccination), so they only get...

    Kitten sensitive to all drugs??

    Hi all – it’s a long time since I needed kitten help :p I have a super cute almost 14 week old Burmese kitten who got neutered 2 days ago (Monday Australian time). All went well, I got him home that evening and he was still zonked for an hour or so, then he went CRAZY. For about 12 hours (all...

    Breeding siblings

    Thanks for the advice! Glad to hear it IS something that's done - they said they did all the genetic testing first, and I did my research to find someone reputable. I'd hate to think they were actually dodgy! He's a super cute little guy and part of the family - everything I wanted in a kitten :)

    Breeding siblings

    Hi all - long time no see :-D I just got a super gorgeous little Burmese kitten on Friday, and I chose a reputable breeder, their cats win plenty of awards, one of the breeders is heavily involved in the running of the state showing association, the cat area was clean and well set up etc. I...

    What Does An Apartment with 4 Pets Look Like?

    I can tell you that my one toddler takes up a lot more space with her "stuff", and makes a LOT more mess than the two cats!!! :lol3:

    OMG... :(

    Best of luck to her! It sounds scary, but the body does regenerate fluids, they'll pump her full of fluids, and make sure infection doesn't set in so she and bub will be safe. Hospital is the best place for her, and her worst problem will probably be boredom! Sending lots of vibes for baby to...

    Wedding invitation question

    I got a "please come to the reception, but not the wedding" invite last year. It was someone I did not expect an invite from - we were there as guests of the bride's parents, not because we knew the bride well. It was a bit weird, but we went. The ceremony was on a boat, and there was only...

    I just bought the series for the new Kindle we got for Christmas, and can't wait for this semester to be over so I can read them!

    Help.. thinking of getting Neka declawed and I don't want to, but don't know what else to do...

    I am personally a big fan of the spray bottle... I only sprayed a couple of times, then put it on mist, and the sound (which is like a hiss), plus the threat of water was enough to stop any bad behaviour. My Stumpy was a feet attacker in the middle of the night, and had other various bad...

    "Nutritionally Complete" assurances for our pet food?

    Let's just all take a deep breath - this is a heated topic. If you wish to address someone personally, please do it via PM.

    Cat's Tail

    It's made of both bone and cartilage :) It's an extension of the backbone.

    Vocabulary help from those Down Under?

    I was going to say they probably meant Esky too :) That was definitely an interesting case, and I don't think we'll ever hear the full story.

    How long before I need to cook a fresh turkey?

    Thanks for your help all! I decided to throw it in the freezer for a couple of days so I can have it cooked fresh on Sunday.

    How long before I need to cook a fresh turkey?

    A bird cooked a couple of days before wouldn't be so good reheated though right?? Should I try to freeze it, then defrost it again for Sunday?

    How long before I need to cook a fresh turkey?

    DH pre-ordered a fresh turkey through his work which we picked up yesterday. These are ones that are "Certified Organic", and have never been frozen etc. We ended up changing our Thanksgiving plans though, so we are doing turkey day on Sunday when everyone could be free. Will a fresh turkey...

    Quick cooking question - Whipped cream

    At least with whipped cream, it's easy to shove a bowl and beaters in front of someone else and get them to do it while you're doing other stuff :)

    Christmas charity work..?

    We get gift cards for food places - I'd prefer to do that than give straight cash!

    what should be added to boiled chicken/rice/pumpkin for a kittenwith a loose stool?

    That's hard! Unfortunately a 3 month kitten is going to have different dietary needs than an adult cat anyway, so no matter what, your little guy will need to be eating different (kitten-specific) food for a while. I would try just mixing some pumpkin in with canned food for a while and see how...

    Head injury

    If he meowed and ran off, he's probably fine. I would expect he would need a lot more force than that to cause any serious injury. You know your kitty though, and if does start acting weird, call a vet. I imagine signs of head injury would include vomiting, confusion, maybe head hanging to one...
