Smidge says spring is here! (just about) Her dawn antics have been supercharged I know that means spring is just around the corner. My toes under the covers need a break! Anyone else?

Good Morning kind peeps, I'm in a tough quandry and need objective input please. I've been at my current postion 10 years. I invented the job, they wrote it for me and my specifications. I have been failry satisified here in that time - I felt I really "owned" the job and was v. good at it and...

My little girl caught a mouse last night. (I'm v. proud of her). She had it in her mouth and wanted to go off by herself. It got away a couple of times and she would chase and re-catch. The mouse finally found a good hiding place underneath something heavy. Smidge exclaimed how she needed to get...

I just visited the local SPCA site... Big mistake! I bawled for like a half hour. Good thing I could close my office door! All those pets that need homes makes me soooo sad. In other news: I was visiting the site because I am donating my car to them I hope my old ugly (and very dependable)...

In a year or month? I was doing my 2008 budget New Year's Day (I know boring) and I really started getting into it. I had no idea what to budget for clothes, since I believed I really don't buy any and I don't have any money for clothes. But, to be wise, thought I should budget for it for a...

The other day I was reading the obit for the sister of an old friend of mine. It listed she was survived by "Her mother....brother S..and L...and her dog Buddy." I have never seen a pet included that way, but I thought it was way cool to include *all* family members! Anyone seen this? What do...

I ask - because spend a fortune on wet food Smidge doesnt eat. I continue with it though - because she cries for it (since it is our routine) and because she will lick up the liquid. I know the liquid is important; I'm just tired of all the waste. I thought instead I could give her a bit of...

It is a supplement drink my friend distributes (and wants me to buy) The website wasn't as detailed as the literture I received, but here is brief overview: http://www.monavie.com/%5F/controller.html The drink features the acai berry and has so many good benefits ( so the product lit says)...

Hi All - I have learned a whole bunch since come to TCS. Now I have to put that knowledge to work! My coworker knows I'm a cat lover so she asked for advice re: a momma cat and three kittens living under her porch. She doesnt like animals, and especially dislikes cats, but she is a kind person...

Hi All, I took Smidge in for her annual vet visit this past weekend. She received her annual vacs plus I got her microchipped. For the exam, the major systems were checked and she was fine, as well as her lab tested fecal matter. But, she's been off for a day or two. I dont know if it is the...

I didnt know how to title this. Smidge has been a huge eater/wolfer since she came to live with me almost two years ago (rescued stray). About two months ago she suddenly got fussy and not as interested in her dry food as before (and has never been that interested in wet food). She asked for...

I thought of you all last night. I ran an errand, was driving the loop of the parking lot to exit, when in my headlights I saw a 4-5mn old kitten hanging out by the dumpsters. I assume he's a stray b/c he was v. dirty. I live in the city and he didnt seem spazzy enough to think he might be...

toy or whatever name it is found elsewhere. I run out of toys for Smidge...she gets bored and is alone all day. It's the one where toys are hidden in a box with holes, and they have to work out how to get them. I've spent plenty of $ on toys she just looks at once so would like a review if your...

I'm done trying to get Smidge to eat decent wet food (pouches). I actually counted each little square before and after..she didnt eat a one, but likes the gravy. This is expensive too. So...I'm going to try switching to cans exclusively. I dont have a lot of luck there either. Her favorite...

I need some more help. Note: Yes, I will call and take her to the vet. Reading the other coughing posts just has me worried, perhaps more so than warrants, and want some more input please In the last few weeks, Smidge has started coughing now and then, maybe 1-2 times a week. It is a...

A newbie to kitties on TCS made me think of this: Have you always loved cats? If not, when did you first convert to a cat-person? I've seen "I only like dogs" kinda ppl fall for a kitty when one arrives in their life somehow...it is a great thing to witness! I grew up with cats, out of the...

I've been considering for awhile of getting a companion for Smidge. Her days are too long alone. If I make the commitment, I'd wish to get an older, mellow male. I think it would be a good balance for a young, shy female with lots of energy. However, I worry about Smidge in the transistion...

Smidgey was particularly cute this w/e and I gave her lotsa of kisses...well, I do that a lot no matter what - it is just matter of how much she lets me Do you think our kitties know what human kisses are all about? She licks me a lot...so she has her own way of communicating her "kisses".

After reading so many cat food threads here, I revisited the food I've been feeding Smidge for the better part of a year. When I brought her home I started with Iams b/c I didnt know any better. I re-read the Iams label today, and "chicken" was the first ingredient, then "by-products" *shudder*...

What is your general opinion? I ask - because when growing up with cats that went out they always knew how to get home. I'm sad because I saw my neighbors posters up around the neighborhood...his sweetheart calico Cosmo is lost. She is a dear and friendly, and I've never seen her more than 10...
