Hello everyone. Its been a long time since I've posted here. The cat I had when I was growing up is now 14 years old. He went to live with my dad 7 years ago while I went to college and we felt it was in his best interest to remain there. I still love him though and it pains me to see him...
This is sort of puzzling us. Is it common for nursing moms to have gas? Meeka is an indoor cat, never been outside and on a raw diet. Her weight is perfect as well as her coat and poops have not changed, very healthy...except she has gas (and pretty bad!). Does anyone have any ideas?
I don't know what it is about these kittens, but they make my heart skip a beat constantly... Last night I went to weigh Cayko and I usually scruff them when I pick them up. I placed her like this onto the scale. I used to put a towel over the scale but now that they are older I don't see it...
Is anyone else obssesed with this show on the National Geographic Channel? I don't even have a dog and yet I'm hooked on this show... Its interesting to see the situations people find themselves in. He is just SO good with canine behavior and can fix things so quickly.
Does anyone know the...
The toe that was bitten the shortest has completely healed. The toe that had just a chunk taken off the top is not healing quite as well. It was not as clean of a bite, half of the paw pad was taken off and I'm not sure if there is bone damage or not. The toe is more swollen than I'd like...
I was cooking last night and I was just overwhelmed with pain in my back. I got really irritated for the rest of the meal until I could lay down. Its my upper back, between my shoulder blades. The spine is much more sensitive than it should be for about 3 vertebrae. When I take a breath I...
I just thought I'd update everyone on the little runt of the litter Cayko after mom chewed off a couple toes when cutting the umbilical cord. It wasn't very evidant at first how much damage there would be because it looked pretty bad at the time. Their paws are so tiny and she was only 2oz so...
Ok out this poll jumps from another thread. How many TCSers feed raw?
I guess it dosne't matter how many people say "no" because there are 2,359 active members so we can draw a few statistics from this. More importantly how many "yes"s will we get?
I guess this will be biased towards those...
Another thread got me thinking about a hypothetical situation. If someone was choosing between a wet or dry diet and considering wet is usually pretty pricey... Would it be healthier to be on a lower quality wet diet or a high quality dry diet?
I need more lunch ideas. I'm trying to cut down on spending by not eating out as much, not to mention healthwise I need to cut down too! So I'm trying to do easy things for lunches. I've only done a couple things so far but thought we could just add new ideas to this thread.
Main items...
Ok so I saw the Sims thread and have to ask...Does anyone play Animal Crossing? I am soooo addicted to this game! I figured if anyone played it would be people on this board. It is the cutest game. I originally played it on the Gamecube (not a gamer at ALL!). But we ended up getting the DS...
I see so many questions from people about determing their kittens sex. I think its easier for people to see actual pictures rather than descriptions/diagrams. Not to be gross but it is easier. Plus a lot of people don't have a way to upload pictures to ask about (or uncomfortable doing so)...
I thought I'd get off my other topic since the title sounded depressing. All the babies are doing good so far and nursing away. Just have to keep an eye on the runt's foot which had a couple toes accidentally chewed off (while trying to cut cord). Here are some updated pictures from this...
So we made it 4 days longer than last time but thats 4 days too early! Oh please God not again . She is early in labor, no major contractions but she is telling me its time, cuddles in her nest and had a clear redish discharge
Does anyone have any info on day 59, chances of survival?
I'm so excited! We went to see our wedding photographer yesterday and were pleasantly surprised that as part of our package it included an online slideshow. They did such a great job with it too! They took 38 of the best pictures (out of 500! eek!) and put it to music and it clips along at a...
I"m so nervous...I have been since yesterday. Meeka delivered on Day 55 last time (her first litter) and lost all the babies because it was just to early... Its scary to think I know exactly what the kittens look like in her belly today. I also know that each day that passes increases the...
I had my wedding on Saturday and it was lovely despite some problems that occurred. The major thing was that my mom had to leave very shortly after eating to go to the emergency room. The doctor wanted her to go immediately but she insisted on making it to my wedding. She had a serious...
I'm so upset! Out last apartment (same complex as current) included water. Evidently 2-bedrooms don't include water. Our water was turned off last night since we haven't paid since October (when we moved in). We were never told there was a change in the contents of the lease for the new...

Because of wild ancestry the rabies vaccine is not approved for bengals?? This could pose problems for the breed.
