I don't know how many read my post in Cat Health, but Portia was throwing up food and clear liquid all day yesterday... couldn't keep anything down, had zero appetite. When she didn't eat this morning, I called the vet. They gave her Sub-Q fluids and a couple of meds. Told me to give her some...

I've had two possible reasons, which I'll try to remember to mention. Okay, so I've noticed Portia has thrown up food and occasional 'just liquid' and usually when there's been more of one of the two dry foods in the mix. I have Great Life and Fromm mixed right now. For a week or so, I didn't...

I always felt a little ashamed when I couldn't remember what JoJo and Jack's Gotcha days were. I know JoJo is in February and Jacks' was about 6 weeks after her. But Portia? I will always remember that one. The day before Halloween. So, Happy Gotcha Day my (not so) little dilute tortie ball...

After Jack died a year ago, I tried doing the whole only cat thing with JoJo, and as most here who remember, that didn't last long. Although JoJo probably wouldn't admit it publicly, she wanted a companion. So, I adopted Portia on October 30th last year. I can now say, with nearly a year behind...

So, some here, especially those who are also my friends on Facebook, know that my mother has Alzheimer's Disease. Last year I walked in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk, and almost as soon as it was over, I signed up for this year. Last year, I looked around and saw all these people in...

Flickr Set Here's a nice close up of Miss Portia: DSC02814 by amadalien, on Flickr And proof that JoJo is gradually accepting Portia... she has her moments... like when she's being an ornery old brat (now officially 9 years old), but she lets Portia groom her face sometimes... she pulls the...

She asked me to pass along her thanks for everyone's prayers and such for Wrinkles. I was helping her with a poem for the marker and she asked if I could let you guys know she's doing okay... it's been tough, but she's getting through it. She wanted to just let everyone know she appreciates the...

My Portia (not Kailie's) is really quite the character. She LOVES the Red Dot of Doom... and (oddly enough) all of Jack's favorite toys. JoJo torments her just like she did with Jack, so I know she's accepted Portia.... she's just a punk. Well, just a few moments ago, I saw Portia do something...

So, I'm just now getting around to ordering one. I know... you guys raised the money for this before Christmas. I liked a lot of them, but something just kept me from getting any of the ones I thought would be good... so I expanded my search and found one on perfectmemorials.com. They have both...

I had posted about my friend Shannon's cat needing a home earlier (in another sub-forum). Tabitha, the kitty, has been bounced from home to home, and the previous 'owner' (calling her B for now) stopped sending money to Shannon for food and litter months ago. Shannon has been fostering her for B...

With life being just scattered since his death in October, I haven't been able to go get his ashes. Dignified Pet Services just called again and reminded me they still have his ashes. I called back and asked to have them sent to Dove Lewis, where he was put to sleep. DPS is hard for me to get...

*snerk* As I sit here at my desk, she's going all manic and goofy on whatever cat toy (or pen) happens to be in front of her. She's having a ball. She mimics her big sister with the attention-getter of "dig my claws into the seat of mom's office chair so she'll notice me" She LOVES being...

We have a DSH Tabby/Calico (Tabbico) named Tabitha is staying at a friend's house in North Portland. My friend, Shannon, took her in on the temporary basis of the owner providing food and other supplies for Tabitha. Well, this owner hasn't done anything in a few months now, so under Oregon law...

I saw this on a friend's post in my Facebook newsfeed... All I can say is HE ROCKS! This needs to be an example of what these guys can do right. This man is a true role model for the teens who idolize NFL players. Cheer the Player and the Man Quote: Meet Will Witherspoon: former Philadelphia...

This morning, I was treated to a game of Tag with Portia. I gave her some head scritches and then she tagged my foot with her paw as I walked past her (I was getting ready for work). She followed me into the bedroom, bounded over stuff and hid behind the door. Well, her front half was hiding...

Through the power of Feliway and my persistence... JoJo and Portia are within 3 feet of each other and (at least at the time of taking the picture five minutes ago) NO HISSING!!!!!!! (while I'm typing this, JoJo is growling a little, but nothing huge) Earlier, during dinner, they were eating...

So, Portia has been contained mostly in the bathroom with two stacked baby gates up... I've let her out a couple times to explore... JoJo hisses and a little growling... last night, JoJo came closer to the gates... hissed when Portia appeared... but didn't bolt or anything... today, I went into...

Our latest color photo class assignment was to do a 'personal portrait' in the form of a diptych. This is where there are two images, usually with one visually leading to the second... Not a self portrait, mind you, but of someone close. My hands down choice was using fairly recent (within...

So, here's the link to the video: Portia And some pics. So many, and some just plain goofy with her not sitting still, that I'll just post the link to her album on Photobucket. But here's one good shot:

Sweet little Portia is home and settling into the bathroom. We determined at Petsmart that she's not too crazy about dogs (black lab pup nearby, she did these short hiss-spats at it). Got her home, and while she was still in the pet stroller, JoJo came about 6 feet up to it and just looked at...
