Same here. I've switched recently from Cat Chow to Kitten Chow to try and keep weight on Montressor, so of course Midway is plumping up. I should have named him Garfield. Anyone who wants to say how it's bad, I'd have to ask how much can it possibly shorten lives if one cat died at 20, one is...

You mean Purina Cat Chow? It may not be the feline version of filet mignon but it's not going to ruin a cat's health either. It'd be nice if we could all afford the very best for our cats (and for our kids and for ourselves) but for 99% of the people out there that just isn't possible...

Some food is definitely better than none. Think of it from the human perspective - Hamburger Helper is better than not eating at all, even if it's inferior to steak and fresh veggies.

Any hope of negotiating full physical custody?

I thought there is a law against false advertising. Next commercial see if there's any sort of "only at participating locations" shown at all during the commercial.

My experience with cats, they don't care about pills. I drop one in front of any of them, the cat takes two sniffs and then walks away/demands food.

I'd believe it. My linen closet/medicine chest has made quite a list of medications disappear, and no matter how much I search for a lost pill I never find it or any previous pills.

I hang out mostly on this thread for those reasons. The medical forum, it's either stuff I have no experience with and breaks my heart to read, or it's horribly sick or injured cats that need a vet but the money's not there and breaks my heart. The other stuff, I'm not afraid to be direct and...

Been there, done that, my sympathies.

Expect, no, that's a bad thing. But when family or close friends congregate usually the understanding is that all adult eyes are on all kids, and therefore assistance with children is freely offered and many hope to have their help accepted (after all, they miss their nephew/cousin/BFF's mini...

Yep. Self solving problem. Worst that could happen is Murphy will swat Aeden and no baby has ever been traumatized for life from a scratch.

Parenting is all about pick your battles. This is just one of those battles that you have to ask if it's worth your energy to fight it. Personally I wouldn't.

I'm glad you are feeling better. IV fluids suck and you had to be pretty badly dehydrated for them to do that.

I am dipping my toes in the hobby of candy making, trying to decide if I like it before I pay for things like a thermometer and a double boiler. Right now I'm working with melt-able candy wafers and molds, cheap stuff while I decide. The squeeze bottles have instructions for easy cleaning...

Yeah, 18 year old cats....I'd give the treats simply because it makes the one happy and she doesn't have much time left, and I'd put an open litter box right where the other one does his business. What's really more important at this point, cleanliness convenience or making geriatric cats happy...

Woot!

It is a US phenomenon and that is because today's helicopter parents are yesterday's latchkey kids. Many kids in that generation suffered a pretty nasty emotional 1-2 punch. Their parents were never around (hence the term "latchkey") due to work/careers, so a lot of that generation came home to...

Crimes against children from non-relatives have actually gone down dramatically, and it's not because they are indoors more. It's far safer for children to be outdoors now than it was when we were young.

Get used to it. Every parent effs up royally a lot. Anyone who says they didn't is lying more than 10 politicians put together.

The food....wow. Cats can speak in the most mysterious of ways.
