    East Coast Members: What to do with the 17 year Cicadas?

    NOTE: DO WE HAVE ANY ENTOMOLOGIST'S ON THIS BOARD? Hey ritzy, how goes it.  As to insects, here in Bmore, as soon as the weather kicks our temp now, the house flies come in, and these poor cats, which are only 8 months old now take it very seriously.  One of them one in a hanging chandalier...

    East Coast Members: What to do with the 17 year Cicadas?

    Quote: My parents have three acres and an award winning garden. I know there is a standard net for certain trees, flowers and the like I have no idea. I will call them and ask and PM you.  As far as "harvesting" them, it aint hard, just had memory flashback, you grab them by their two wings...

    East Coast Members: What to do with the 17 year Cicadas?

    1996 was like yesterday. Anyways, as we all know we are in for a NOISY summer. Lucky I live in Baltimore City where I pray they don't come (the stink bugs epic for our region are not in the city). However I can harvest these suckers and bring em home (already got palmetto bugs straying in the...

    Ok so it's summertime in Baltimore city, last year due to warm weather, we had so many "Palmetto" bugs, the cliche cockroach from the movies cover our streets. 1- If you know about roaches, almost all species but the german/brown cockroach can only survive inside, so they come in my basement...

    Revolution for indoor city homes on water?

    Ok I will start off that I and you should be well versed in at least Fipronil (frontline). I had tried revolution on my other cats, but something creeped me out aboutg it and i stuck with frontline. I now have two new kittens, well they are not new, they are about 8-9 months now, 8 and 10 lbs...

    What if I add scrambled eggs (cooked) as a topper?

    From adult cat perspective, I wish I could help, my raw eaters are 7 months old. When I got them, I was on board with raw, but was worried about Aafco nutrients, so I continued my breeders suggested mix, 50/50 Friskies and Bravo beef (used the friskies first 2 days). And what caused me to...

    Anyone use a manual grinder?

    I wouldn't suggest it, for bones its impossible. Also from a sanitary and freshness standpoint, your meat will be exposed to room temps and air for much longer. I would suggest to debone the meat, then chop it up with scissors. If you want to grind I would suggest saving, even if just one...

    Need help with grinder ASAP please

    Lei, Im not going to shed a tear for Mercantile/STX as I am vintage "support those who support you"  consumers. Mozy on over to onestopjerkeyshop and get yourself a Tasin.  It is battle tested, I wouldnt try turkey bone in it, but don't quote me. (One idea, debone the turkey, and use chicken...

    Need help with grinder ASAP please

    I never thought of that for 3rd party return situation, 90% of my purchases are amazon/prime items. As to the man who runs mercantile that's sells STX, he seems eager to service directly, just email him.  I emailed him once with a question between the models. Check with him about the shaking...

    Question about Dr Harvey's freeze dried tripe

    Otto: Did this product crumble, or at least break apart easily? It seems if it is in a patty form, then it has been ground. To answer your question, there is prob not a good answer other then reconstitute it and weigh it.  Is it a meal, not really, its marketed as a treat, and of course you...

    Cat needs leg chopped off going OTT? Your views please.

    Gosh I remember when Porchea, had the absess I was telling you about, and I remember her wearing a cone, but it was not as long as the infection which kept coming back which is what happened to you (except it came back to us after clavamox made it look healed). Absess is no joke, even for me a...

    How do you get a cat to the vet WITHOUT a carrier?

    Quote: Yes VERY important, Korina was a very special cat (she is still with us), she is a bengal, white, looks just like a siamese, but I am convinced she has a dab of ragdoll genes (they were introduced to bengal stock early in 80's) Korina litterally could be carried anywhere, she would go...

    Nature's Variety Instinct canned Rabbit vs. Addiction canned Rabbit

    vball91,  so funny how people trust what labels say on pet food cans. If Meutz wants to cut out NV rabbit because they are transparent enough to say their rabbit is from china, and that they use pork liver, there are plenty of others. They actually have alot of credit to be as responsive to...

    Nature's Variety Instinct canned Rabbit vs. Addiction canned Rabbit

    My older cat (pictured in Avatar) favorite food is NV Rabbit. Cute tradition, she always got it on Sunday (esp when it jumped to 2.50 a can) Yes the meat comes from China, it always has. Yes they use pork liver, at some point rabbit liver cost too much, or human demand was greater. If you...

    WHY does my FUO cat *adore* thin sliced black forest deli ham? Offer lots of other foods

    Quote: Yea. he was only 5 months old.  I quickly pushed my expertise on FIP out of my mind when we decided to stop his medication. Wet vs Dry, I think the difference is wet means fluid in the lungs and abdomen(this will expand) which can be seen by xray, dry has no fluid and is harder to...

    Cat needs leg chopped off going OTT? Your views please.

    Very good, knowledge is power. A good vet will respect a prepared pet owner. If you understand human and animal physiology, and research things before you come in, you are on an even playing field. If something doesnt sound right, ask why, write it down and research it when you get home. I...

    Cat needs leg chopped off going OTT? Your views please.

    Good news, like I said my cats was at the knee cap, and probably from a racoon who's teeth probably went far deeper. (this was at my parents, racoons would routinely raid our trash, this cat was aggressive and went after them). So this one doesnt seem as bad, just be careful, an absess can...
