    How do you give a bengal medication?

    I have fought Keira for the last 10 mins and am all scratched up and I never even got close enough to stick the pill in her mouth. She rolls over, fights me, twists and turns, scratches me up in the process. I even tried to wrap her in a towel and she gets out. I am so frustrated and have...

    Found another growth....very upset.

    I found another growth on Lexi's knot. She was very irritated if I touched it so I decided to take her in to have it checked out. The vet definitely thinks it is something and I am keeping her there overnight so that all three vets can look at her tomorrow and decide if it should be removed and...

    Effects of Anesthesia....

    The last time I had Luna put under to get her shaved it nearly killed her. It normally takes her longer to come out from being under and this time it was already into the second day and she wasn't recovering. If anything, she was going downhill fast and it made me panic. I ended up taking her...

    All a matter of perspective....what are you grateful for?

    Having recently lost both of my parents over a time span of 3 years it has really changed my perspective on life and how I view others in a devastating situation. Although many people have come up to me and told me how well I handled everything and how I never openly exhibited how bad the...

    Lexi has cancer....

    I found a scab on Lexi 2 months ago and thought nothing of it. I thought that maybe Keira had gotten to her. About 2 weeks ago I noticed she had licked all the hair off in one area. Well, I felt a growth on her and took her to the vet that very same day. After the agony of having to wait a...

    My dad passed away today....

    After a long battle with cancer my dad passed away today just before 2pm. He was still talking last night and I even said good-bye to him before going home. I received a call this morning that he had very labored breathing and so I just threw on some clothes and went up there. A few friends...

    Would you stay friends with this person?

    I have a male friend who is 21, more mature for his age and intelligent. When I first met him everything was new and now that I have known him for over 3 months I am starting to see a few things I don't like. A lot of the time when I express how I feel, do things, or believe something he has to...

    Tedi - You had a long life and fought to the end

    I have had Tedi since middle school and he was less than a month short of his 17th birthday. He battled heart failure for 3 years and kidney failure for 2, but with the medications starting to build up from 2 a day to 6 or 7, I just could not do that to you and you also were feeling miserable at...

    E-Reader devices...which one is better?

    Does anyone have an E-Reader such as the Nook or the Kindle2? If so, what are the pros and cons of both. Which one do you prefer and why? I want to get one for my dad, but am still undecided as to which one would be better.

    Anyone else watching the Olympics?

    It is a real tragedy what happened earlier today to a Luge athlete. Many have wondered how safe the sport really is. Nonetheless, I feel sad for the family who lost their young son. The opening ceremony is about to begin and it is always nice to see what they have planned. I like the Summer...

    How do you know if you are on the right path?

    Lately, I have relapsed back to feeling like I have nothing left. I know what I want out of life, but it just isn't happening. Maybe I am not meant to be married or to be happy in life. It isn't lack for trying either. I have been trying to deal with my mom's death, a friend who only cares for...

    I had a Will made up....

    With all that my parents have been through, etc, I finally had a Will made up in case something should happen to me and my dad outlives me. It is not something I want to have to think about, but a good idea to have just in case. I included my cats so that they will be taken care of and I do...

    Why does this always happen to me???

I was approaching a light and got into the right hand lane and the guy I was following was in the left hand lane when all of a sudden I felt this impact and heard this horrible crushing sound! This jerk didn't check his blind...

    A book that every cat owner should read!

    A coworker bought me a book at Barnes & Noble last night and gave it to me this morning. The book is called "Cat letters to Santa". I was rolling! It is hilarious! Something we could all relate to, but from the perspective of a cat. http://www.amazon.com/Cats-Letters-S...0930572&sr=8-1

    So I got into twilight because of a coworker and now I am obsessed with Edward! My cousin has the first two books in German and will be sending them to me so I can get a different perspective on translation! Who else is a huge twilight fan? I just got the first two books for my birthday with...

    Our Local Animal Shelter had a fire

    http://www.kcendt.com/?p=18253 It was really sad. I used to volunteer there for a while. I am still bothered by what happened. My dad and I each donated a 16 pound bag of cat food, wash clothes and detergent.

    How stupid can one store be?

    I have been looking for a computer desk for about a month and a half. I finally found one at xxx at the right price (been waiting two weeks for it to go down) and the right size. I only have so much space. I bought it last week at $69 (it was $129) put the receipt on the box with my name and...

    How to break an alpha cat?

    Keira is really, really, really alpha. She doesn't like to be picked up and if you do, she doesn't stay for long. She gets into everything and I can't control her unless I scruff her. She also is starting to bite some of the other cats while they are sleeping and that has to stop. Does anyone...

    I won a contest! Is this for real?

    I think..... You know those contest they normally hold in the mall where they have a car on display and you can win 49,000 or a car? I always fill one out, but I never win. The other day I went to check the mail and they had sent it back to me saying I had won. I was a little leery because I...
