A question for our European members - does anyone have a Fiat 500? If so do you like it? I'm thinking about buying one when they come to the US in the Spring. The official Fiat dealerships have not opened yet so there's no way I can test drive one until then. Maureen

My black DSH Buddy passed away peacefully last night. He was only 6, and I only had him for 4 months. Almost 3 weeks ago I discovered a lump on his chest. I took him into the vet who sent a sample off to cytology. It came back for a high chance of fibrosarcoma. He then developed another large...

I just looked at my Buddy tonight and one side of his chest looked bigger. I touched him and picked him up and he did not react in pain. His fur is in place (no skin breaking through) and he's not licking or poking at it. Could it just be he got bruised playing with the other cat? I've never...

Bickford is on Cisapride liquid 2x per day and MiraLax syringed to him also 2x per day. He's not getting them at the same time so I have to medicate him 4x per day. He cries when he sees the syringe, and tries to run. He usually doesn't get far and I can get the meds into him. I fear there will...

Bickford was rushed back to the vets today with another round of constipation. He's been diagnosed with megacolon, which means the muscles of the colon are not able to push feces through efficiently. MiraLax or lactoluse alone will not help and the vet is going to put him on another medication...

I took Buddy and Smokey to the vets today. Their previous owner had not taken them in a while, so they weren't used to carriers and being handled. Well we got done and back home. Buddy was so scared he wet himself in the carrier on the way home and had to be cleaned off at the vets office. Since...

Here are my new furkids - Buddy & Smokey (hope you can see the pictures). They're about 6, and their human mom died recently. It's kitten season and all the shelters are full, and with Buddy being a black cat, I knew their chances of being adopted from a shelter weren't good. That makes 6, and I...

As some may know from other threads recently, I added 2 new cats to my furry family. I was told at the time that Buddy was very friendly (which turned out to be true) and Smokey was shy. Smokey has now turned out to be quite a brat! He's sitting in the middle of my bed, swatting if you try to...

It doesn't seem that things will ever get better. I adopted 2 cats last week (emergency - their owner died and otherwise they would be put to sleep). I feel I'm not spending enough time with my other cats since they're separated and the newbies are staying in my bedroom. The last 24 hours have...

I have somewhat of an unusual situation, and any help would be appreciated. I am planning to move in a few weeks. I have 4 cats, and an emergency situation came up and I took in 2 more this past weekend. (I was planning on adopting after the move, but it was either take them now or they would...

When I read about this in one of the British papers this morning I was so psyched! The song isn't bad either. Listening to him was one of the few pleasant memories of a bad time in my life.

Has anyone changed wireless providers? I am thinking of switching from Verizon to Metro PCS as a cost savings. Was it a hassle? Did you get to keep you old number? I know that I will have to pay $200 to get out of the current contract and buy new phones. In the end it will be cheaper to go with...

I have to call the vets office when they open @ 7:30 this morning. Bickford seems to be constipated. I gave him some lactoluse last night and he tried to poop but it didn't come. He's sitting by his food bowl, wanting to eat but can't. This hasn't happened to him in a while (over 2 years). Any...

http://wbztv.com/local/cats.attlebor...2.1212816.html There are 34 cats left at this shelter and they are overwhelmed. Any cats not adopted by the end of this week will be put down. The cats looked to be in good health - the man caring for them fell on hard times and had his home foreclosed. I...

I really want to leave my job but I have concerns. Not about getting another job (my brother is willing to give me one in the near future) but about the aftermath of my leaving. I work for a TV station, and my job is highly specialized. It is hard to find traffic managers (people who manage the...

BobCat caught a mouse tonight, and of course it was while I was cleaning the litter box. I can't understand why they are coming inside at this time of the year. This one got away and was running across the basement floor. It really ticks me off. I found another one about 3 weeks ago. I have to...

First, I had horrible abdominal pains last night. I first thought it was gas but kept vomiting anything I took for it. So around 1 AM I headed for the emergency room. My mother came with me - she thought it was appendicitis and I was then thinking ovarian cyst. My greatest fear was no matter...

My current car is a 1996 Chevy Caprice. Needless to say it qualifies for Cash for Clunkers. All my co-workers are coming up and asking me when I'm going to trade it in. This has become extremely annoying! I keep explaining that the car runs, it's paid for and the insurance is dirt cheap. I don't...

I saw this on the local news this morning. This happened in central Massachusetts: http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO117672/ I cannot believe anyone would kill a cat, especially with children present. It's just another reason that I keep my cats indoors. According to the video Lily...

I got into a minor car accident on Sunday. An older driver pulled out even though the traffic light was green on my side. He said he was "taking a right on red" and seemed totally out of it. There wasn't much damage so I (stupidly) didn't call the police to the scene. The other driver kept...
