Since the contract for my job in the UK ends in the Fall I am considering a job in the Netherlands. I was wondering if anyone here has ever lived there? I'm wondering what it will be like for the cats as well.. Any advice or comments from personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

For the "Do not disturb a cat in bed" photo contest I am having a little trouble deciding on the picture to submit. Last night I caught Monty curled up with his famous stare. However, this time he was doing it with only one eye open! Kind of a weird picture.. So what do you think: Monticello...

So I wanted to get some advice on a bit of a problem I've been having with some petty criminals regularly coming into my property... It used to not be so bad with only cans of beer left behind and empty Maltesers and M&Ms bags. But lately the little thugs have stepped things up a notch. The...

Bootsie was walking around the desk so I nabbed some pictures of her. looking at the camera hand loop attachment: pawing at toy eyeball: getting ready to jump down:

Hi all, I was wondering what people here do to save money when things get tight. I had almost $1000 in vet expenses last month! And, the cats and I will be moving to the UK in a few months (getting them there is not turning out cheap). To save money I've started cooking more, buying less...

I can't believe this http://www.vegancats.com/pages/1002/...Ready_Made.htm exists!

I was reading this article http://www.thecatsite.com/Health/81/...-Your-Cat.html posted on this site and started to worry if I am doing something bad to my kitties. I am wondering if anyone knows the reason why we ought not feed our cats cold cat food straight from the fridge (the article...

Hello, I was hoping I could get some advice on what to do for my poor kitty Monty who is always in the litter box these days squatting. This has been going on for a few weeks and I took him (and a urine sample) to the vet to be checked out. They said that he has struvite crystals. They gave me...

Hi, My fiance lives in Philly and he saw several cats living behind his apartment building outside. They were huddled together on some cardboard. He would like to take them in but isn't allowed to have them at his apartment. So, he is going to give them food and try to figure out a temporary...

Hi all, This weekend I will be participating in the MS 150 bike tour. I've been a little nervous about it because it is 75 miles two days in a row. (75 miles tomorrow and then again on Sunday). Please send vibes that my riding partner (Mark) and I get through it okay. He's been struggling a...

Hi all, I've been looking into apartments in the Philadelphia area for my boyfriend because he is overseas. Thing is, I don't live in philly. I've been going to the apartment ratings websites, but we are still concerned about his commiting to a lease without first seeing the place, and we can't...

A few months ago the vet determined that Bootsie has a urinary tract disease. Struvite crystals were found in her urine. They put her on Hills s/d to dissolve the crystals, and now she is on Purina UR as a maintenance diet to prevent the formation of new crystals. Thing is, I'm not sure if the...

Lately my kitty Monty has had a thing about running into the hallway of the apartment we live in whenever the door is opened. This wasn't a major problem before because he used to just want to go to the end of the hall to sharpen his claws on one of my neighbors' Welcome mat. But, today he did...

I've always thought Monty was a little special in some way. He's pretty dog-like in the way he is aggressively cuddly, especially with the face-licking. Today was a real scorcher in St. Louis with 100 degree weather. Even with the air conditioner blasting my apartment was apprently not cool...

or does Nature's Best seem a little more oily than most dry kitty foods? I was just wondering if I got a bad bag (it smells alright though) or if that is the way it is supposed to be??

I was wondering if anyone knows what makes a cat run and hide from some people, and feel perfectly comfortable around others. Sometimes when I have company at my apartment (I live there alone with Monty and Bootsie) my kitties will come right up to the guests and demand petting and play time...

For the past month or so Monty has been extra vocal and it has slowly been increasing with time. It used to be that he was just vocal when he wanted food or attention, but lately he will merrowl for an extended period of time as if he were in heat just walking around. He also merrowls right...

Today after Monty used the cat box he jumped up onto the couch. I noticed that there were a few white things stuck in the fur near his bum so I picked them off with an old receipt and looked at them. At first I thought they were just little bits of food but then one of them moved He has worms...

Hello!! So on Friday we had chicken drummies for dinner and Bootsie and Monty seemed to want them pretty badly. They kept getting on the table and trying to take them so we decided that we might as well give them two leftover bones with the thought that they would just chew off the meaty...

So I recently decided to check out a different vet in the area. The only reason I decided to do this is because my regular place was all booked up. Anyways, I had heard that this place is supposed to be one of the best in St. Louis. Hmm. First, I arrived for my appointment on time but had to...
