I have always had boy cats as pets, both as a child and as an adult. My young daughter is considering adopting a female kitten from a friend's cat's new litter. This will be a first for me if we make this decision. Any thoughts on the differences between females and males as pets?

My 9 yr old daughter has had the good fortune of being able to get to know a litter of kittens born in late November. One of the kittens had a twisting, tilting head and neck for the first 3-4 weeks of her life. She is now about 7 weeks old and has improved by about 80%. There is still a bit...

My vet has recently perscribed the drug Clomicalm for my cat Fred. I have put off giving it to him, hoping for feedback from some other cat owners who have either given it to their cats or have opinions based on others' experiences. Here's the back story. Fred has always been the more...

I am trying to remember the Insurance Co. that did the corny commercial in the 80s and 90s in which an older couple gets a call from their son and the wife exclaims "It's Patrick! He got Life Insurance!" Does anyone remember the ins. company. Also does anyone have any ideas (websites, etc.)...

I had been feeding a stray 10wk old kitten in the backyard for over a week. "Mitten" is now in an Adoption area of a Rescue-friendly Pet store in Downtown Toronto. I took him to the vet this morning and had all his required shots, de-fleaing and de-worming. Turns out he is a little boy, as I...

My friend just leant me the first 3 seasons, and I'm just finishing up the first season. I wasn't sure at first, but I'm now really addicted! Curious about other opinions.!

What is this "flower essences" I've heard mentioned on TCS. Is it some sort of calming odorizer? Where do you get it?

I purchased and planted this Iris last week. It's called "Sultan's Palace" in deep red. It flowered this morning. I'm always ecstatic when things survive after I plant them. Never fails to amaze me!

Some of my favourites

I just bought some side ribs on sale. Anyone have any good recipes? Preferably for the BBQ.

I just got a new big plant in a big pot. Of course, one of the cats has started to use it as a litter box. Anyone have any ideas as to how to stop this behaviour?

In the vein of "what type of what do you like best", what jeans have you found to be the most comfortable and flattering? I've had some luck recently with Mavi.

I was inspired by the recent thread on body soap, etc. in the shower. I'm curious what you guys like for styling products after your shower. Also mention in your reply what hair type you have. Over the years, I've wasted a lot of money on products that promise to make my hair full, frizzless...

I finally got a new car! Thank you to all of your advice in the past. I ended up going for the Aveo in tomato red. I've been driving it for a week now, and love it. It's great on fuel and it rocks on the highway.

I'm in the midst of a big problem involving Bell Canada. They are being so difficult that i'm considering switching internet providers. It involves my ex-tenants account and his switchover to making his account mine. At the moment I have no internet and am using my neghbours every night...

I arrived home tonight, to find my BF burning some CD's on his computer. He seemed totally normal. About an hour later he was on the couch shaking like a leaf, asking if I could bring down a heating pad and turn up the furnace. It was totally warm in my house. He complained that his hands...

I got inspired by my newly discovered Baby Fred photos (posted last night) and decided to team some of them up for some "then and now".
