    Northern VA community plans to kill cats

    I'm so upset about this and I feel like there's nothing I can do. I've been crying for two days since I saw the news story and I can't find anything out about it anywhere. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...=moreheadlines They did have another article, very simliar to this one, that...

    PETA kills 97% of companion animals (2006)

    Okay, so I looked for a previously posted link about this and didn't find one. Here's the article. I'm so glad I've never donated to PETA. I've always thought them too extremist, personally. http://www.centredaily.com/business/story/324485.html

    Bagheera is missing.

    Well, she's something of a pariah, so she sometimes is scarce throughout the day. Monday evening, I came home from work and started getting their food ready. After a little while of it thawing, I went out to check the water, and all of them came running, except Bagheera. I warmed up the...

    New product found at the cat show

    Hopefully this is in the right section. I just thought you guys should know about his work because he's just starting but the products, imo, are awesome, and well worth the investment (I figure mine will pay for themselves in about 5 months or so if it takes that long). Okay, well, it's not...

    All hail Shere Khan, the great and glorious hunter

    Okay, so.. about two months ago.. we set up a 'soup kitchen' on our back deck to feed the squirrels and birds. This was generally done just to keep the kitties entertained. On and off, we've had a few bouts with the squirrels eating the bird seed instead of their own. Two bird feeders later...

    Allergy to litter?

    Okay, so while my sister took the day off to take Pogue to the vet (he had a reaction to his injections)... she also took Joyeux along because she's got a watery eye. The first diagnosis is that she's allergic to something, probably her litter, and the vet suggested not changing brands as...

    Looking for viewpoints about Khan....might or might not be abnormal: Long post

    Okay... so Khan (our f3 Bengal) is exhibiting what *I* think may be something to consider.. and I *think* that we should have him tested for hyperthyroidism but I wanted to get some opinions from others, perhaps from someone who has experience with these "symptoms" (and I'll make a notation here...

    The "clicker training" movement

    Has anyone tried this with their cats? Does anyone want to try this with their cats? Has anyone tried this, and unlike me, had success with it? I thought perhaps I'd start a "journal" or thread about it to hopefully keep track of what we're doing that is successful, or in my case, completely...

    Spotlight Member of the Week **Dragoriana**

    Hi everybody! My victim is Dragoriana! Hehe. Have fun! I'll start you off with some questions... 1.) If you were to imagine yourself as a color, what color would it be, and why (or what does that color symbolize to you)? 2.) If you could have one wish, what would it be? 3.) Have there...

    One complex question and one easier (hopefully) one

    Thank you so much for offering us your expertise and time. You have no idea how much it is appreciated! I guess I should start out with the break down of what I have here. One four bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse, two whole floors for the cats to roam (one floor closed off). We have.. one adult...

    Worm experts, please

    Okay, having a small issue here with all the kitties... a couple are dragging their butts.. they're all vomiting (except Kahn).. not frequently, usually when they eat something. It doesn't seem to be dietary, as some of the pukers are eating a combo of raw and dry. Some are eating dry only...

    The four-footers apparently took a vote...

    And decided that *now* was naptime for everyone. Pardon the messy house.. in the middle of spring cleaning, organizing and downsizing.. apparently all my hard work tired all of them out. They should show up in this order: Bagheera (who was mostly asleep, but popped her eyes open when I got the...

    Mentally challenged people who own dogs.

    So, after work today I decide that, indeed, since I've been paid I'm going to go to BJ's and use my brand new membership to buy cat litter and some other stuff.....I get finished shopping, and I head home to my kitties who.. I'm sure at this point are mobbing the door (as it was they were all in...

    Advice for a 9-week-old kitten

    Okay, so we went and got our new addition last weekend.. he was eight weeks old. He's a Tonkinese. He still seems to be wanting to nurse, though, and now I'm a bit worried that he wasn't completely weaned from mommy when the breeder had us come get him. now I'm having my doubts about whether...
