For a cat named Blossom we have certainly had our share of flower-related worries. A few months ago you were all very helpful with a concern about lilies in a bouquet my wife received. So today, my wife’s cousin sent us some flowers. The florist says there are no lilies in the bouquet and that...

It’s starting to get cool, and I recently got some oak firewood delivered. Does anyone know if oak logs or bark would be dangerous to a cat? I usually put them directly in the fire, but as it starts getting rainy it would be useful to keep a few logs inside. I know acorns can be toxic (to humans...

The picture is unrelated to the post topic, just a cute picture of Blossom. So my mother-in-law is having some surgery tomorrow and my wife got a bouquet of flowers for her, to give her after the surgery. She brought it home from the florist and we noticed it had some unopened lilies. She held...

We give Blossom Advantage Multi for protection against fleas and heartworm, as well as a couple other things. In July we went out of town, and our neighbor watched Blossom. We didn’t ask her to apply the medication because we didn’t want to burden her or have her possibly do it incorrectly...

I posted about Blossom, the little abandoned kitten that we rescued, in another forum. I never expected or wanted a cat: we’re allergic to cats (although we’re in the middle of allergy shots that should cure that) and my wife’s whole family are also allergic. Our initial thought was that once...

I’m new to this forum, and to be honest it’s not a forum I ever thought I would join. My wife and I are both allergic to cats, and have been married for nine years without a pet. On Wednesday I was taking out the trash and saw a cat with what I thought was a dead gopher. She didn’t run like...
