Winter is coming! We've dropped to 0F outside and windchills have been in the -20F to -30F range all day. I'm leaving, continent, I'm leaving.

Is it possible he has seasonal allergies? Mine do, there's a certain tree we know sets Gypsy off and she snores like mad when its in bloom. Seriously, she's louder than I am. Air purifiers help her out a LOT, as does closing up the house when the offending tree is in bloom. Because Gypsy...

Gypsy's dental was one of those $1500ish ones. I'd planned ahead for it, and booked when my vet had a special, to get the cost down as much as reasonably possible. The thing was, since it was an almost total extraction, it was pretty much a one off deal. She pretty much won't need another...

I bought a heated cat yurt for Gypsy, as she's getting up in years and has some mild arthritis in her right back leg. It also has a microfiber sleeping pad in there. I have arthritis myself, and figure since that's more or less what my doctor suggested for me, it would work for the cat as...

Hello! I found your site awhile ago when I was looking for help on grooming Persians (specifically getting rid of the "eye boogies" they can get.) I've lurked ever since, and decided I should come out of the woodwork. I work in Antarctica over part of the year, but when I am off work, I'm...
