My cyberfriend once showed me how to write a script for a rotating signature on forum boards. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but if I can ask them to show me again or figure it out myself, would that be okay? I know I'm only allowed to have one link in my signature at a time and I'm...
Hello, I'm not a hoarder and I have plenty of cat food for Willow for the next 2 weeks or most likely much, much longer. I just have questions.
Is Blue Buffalo significantly better than Friskies Pate? Willow is a probably ten months by now, so I guess "spayed teenaged girl" works and she is a...
My little moggie is currently brushed and combed 2-3 times a week, has her nails done, and is getting accustomed to having the hair between her pawpads trimmed. She had one bath when she came home because of fleas and then everybody went on flea meds. I don't normally bathe my cats and since...
Please don't judge--I do buy organic, local, humanely raised meats for my furkids whenever I can but I have very high credit card bills and was wondering if Grocery Outlet might be a reasonable source of inexpensive meat while I educate myself about the right cuts for my budget.
I know they...
I finally, finally got some answers about Laurel's atopy. My vet was fantastic and not the slightest bit judgemental: "getting rid of" Willow is not on the table and I was not guilt tripped about that or about anything else.
I have a lot of credit card debt from vet bills, auto repairs, and...
Hi,
I'm currently using EZComplete and recently switched from prepared raw. My goal is to know enough about feline nutrition and my local farmers and butchers to not need it any more, but I'm not there yet.
I mostly feed chunks right now. Sometimes I see gravy left at the bottom of her bowl or...
I can't afford prepared raw indefinitely and I'm also just not the consumer type. The next step is EZComplete. How does my freezer stash look?

We made it to six months without a cycle and I see absolutely no benefit to postponing Willow's spay any further. As per my agreement with her rescuer, I will be bringing her in to the spay/neuter clinic at 7:30 in the morning the day after tomorrow and have already paid the balance after my...
My six month old is big enough to enjoy a chicken neck now. She didn't seem to have any litter box issues afterwards. Is it safe to give her one every week as a treat now? S
I am very fortunate to have a good relationship with a local rodentry. I have been able to feed Willow whole prey pretty much since she came home, starting with pinkie mice as an occasional treat when she was 8 weeks old on up to a small-medium rat for her Thanksgiving dinner. She is thriving...
Is toothpaste necessary, other than as a reward or treat?
I'm currently not using it on self, dogs, or kitten. My understanding is that it is the physical action of removing plaque daily that is helpful. The flouride in human toothpaste may or may not help, but we don't use that on pets...
My situation is unusual, but probably just La Leche League 101. I wanted to ask if kittens typically will nurse off of the same nipple, even if they do not have siblings to compete with.
I'm pretty sure everything is okay. Willow is now five months old. She was taken away from her mother at...
My avatar picture is one of my very favourites or else just click on my profile---most of my posts are pictures or just gushing about how much I love this new baby.
Of course any mostly solid grey cat is going to get the comment, "Hey, you've got a Russian Blue on your shoulder!" and the fact...
We get more rain than snow here in the winter. I wasn't sure what Willow would think about it, but decided not to cancel our Sunday hike since she showed curiousity, rather than fear, about a damp place in one of our regular haunts and didn't seem to mind getting her feet muddy.
It was just a...
I am lucky enough to have found a reasonable and very pleasant source of feeder rodents to supplement Willow's diet of mostly frozen prepared raw.
I was curious whether anyone else here was able to do this and felt like answering some questions.
Willow is about eleven weeks old by our...
Willow was an outdoor-only kitty until she came to live with me and my dogs, where she has to be indoor-only except for supervised outings. She didn't use the litter box for the longest time and I finally found out where all the kitty pee was going when one of my coffee trees met an untimely...
Hi forum,
Willow is my new baby. I've had cats as companions for most of my life, but she is the first kitten in almost 30 years and I intend to spoil her rotten.
She's extremely outgoing, friendly, and active. We've already been hiking together and she even walks on leash for a short...
