    Our Daily Thread for Tuesday, March 27

    Well, my two boys are settling in together. Fergus has taken to attacking the gray boy (in a good-natured way), and I am pleased that he is no longer running away. They are sleeping in the same room, so I have decided not to separate them and cause more of a disturbance. I am trying to come...

    Our daily thread for Wednesday, March 14

    It is another beautiful day in NC. We slept with our windows open and were awakened by the birds! :chicken: :chicken: I really do not think that we will ever move to the north again. I may have to learn to like sweet tea. I have laundry to do today, and business to conduct, but the advantage...

    Affection

    I was just wondering how your cats show affection for you. I'd love to read your stories! Fergus head-butts, counts coup, and tries to keep us awake at night. He is always trying to pet me back, or throw balls at me (reasoning that if he likes to chase balls, I must like it too!). What do...

    Cat Scratch Disease

    My 25 year old male cousin just had a scare with a lump under his armpit. His doctors said it could be anything from an infection to Hodgkins Disease. He was very relieved to find out it is Cat Scratch Disease. He has a female soon-to-be-spayed cat who just had a miscarriage. Has anyone here...

    Shy cat

    Is it normal for my cat to be afraid of our friends? When we have company, Fergus rarely comes out, even to eat. No one in our home has ever been cruel to Fergus, but we adopted him, so I cannot speak about his past. How can we help Fergus to become less shy in his own home?

    Fergus doesn't scratch my husband....

    My cat doesn't have a behavior problem, but since I am new to cat companionship, I have a question. When I pet my cat, he often begins playing with my hand and arm, scratching and biting. It does not hurt, and he does not leave a mark, but he also does not do this to my husband. Not even when...

    Asthma?

    In December, my then-6-month-old cat was having difficulty breathing and had ear mites. We took him to the vet, and an x-ray showed such congestion in his lungs that the vet said she'd call them tumors if he was an older cat. His Feline Leukemia test came back negative, so she gave him a shot...
