    Cat walks around the house meowing very loudly

    Thanks for all the responses. Let me answer your questions: Start weighing her every couple weeks and keep a log, so that you catch if she starts losing weight beyond where she should be. She is very petite...only about 5.5 lbs. Because of her small size we regularly monitor her weight, and...

    Cat walks around the house meowing very loudly

    One of our cats, Lexi, is 13 years old. She has become deaf within the past year. Over the last few months she has started walking around the house during the day meowing very loudly. Fortunately, she does not do this at night. I thought maybe she was meowing because she was hungry. She...

    FeebysOwner and rubysmama, Thanks for your replies. The pred is supposed to reduce inflammation in the digestive system which should eliminate the diarrhea. The vet has her on 2 capsules per day for 14 days and then 1 capsule per day after that. Today marks 1 week she has been on the pred...

    Question of the Day: Saturday, December 28, 2019

    As someone else mentioned, only low power fireworks like sparklers are legal in PA. At one of the places where we lived in PA, our next door neighbor was a state trooper and a sheriff's deputy lived in the next house. They would be outside shooting off fireworks (powerful, illegal ones) around...

    Question of the day - Thursday 26 December

    I have been a night owl for as long as I can remember. I hated getting up early to go to school and I hated getting up early to go to work. Being retired I can sleep late. Our cats don't understand why I want to sleep late. So, my typical morning is get up around 6:00 to feed the cats and...

    Show me your Christmas tree (if you have one!)

    I guess we must be blessed. Our 4 cats have never tried to climb up our trees or knock down ornaments or lights. They do like to use the lower branches to scratch their faces. And, they love to curl up and snooze under the trees. After some catnip, they lie on their backs under the trees...

    Well, that's it.

    Congratulations on your retirement! Savor every day! It look me close to 6 months to adjust to retirement. I kept looking for things to do around the house (but not the honey do list...that is work). My employer had been opening offices for Information Systems people around the world to...

    Our Christmas decorating has begun

    The outdoor decorating is complete, and I took some photos and videos tonight. The video files are huge (over 100 Mb) so I don't think I'll be uploading them. Here are some pics: You can't tell from a photo, but there are penguins having a snowball fight. I have a series of balls of lights...

    Question of The Day. Saturday 14th of December

    When I was 4, my parents arranged to have someone (later I learned it was the twenty-something son of our neighbors) dress up as Santa and come to our house with a sack fully of my Christmas presents. I am an only child so there were no siblings involved. Well, that sure confirmed to me that...

    Thread Devoted To Sharing Your Favorite Albums And Songs - 2019

    My wife and I have seen Trans-Siberian Orchestra every year since 2006. Some years we have seen them 2 or 3 times. The Youtube video I posted a few posts ago gives you some idea of what their concerts are like. Most of their albums have a Christmas theme. Each year they change the set list...
