Poor Elijah Blue-eyes! This weekend I realized that one of his upper canine teeth was hanging lower than the opposite one. It looked pretty weird and so I held him in my lap so I could get a better look. The tooth looked bad, really bad and was loose. His face has never looked swollen and he has...

I heard a familiar noise from the hall and snuck over with the camera. This is what I found. There you are. I wanted some attention! Why no, I don't know what happened to that picture on the wall.....

I have seen this on some breeder web sites. How does a cattery earn this designation? What does this mean as far as picking out a reputable breeder?

Anna, my Bengal, was chasing her tail on my bed and I managed to get a couple of pictures. Got tail now! My tail has a flavor! Nom, nom. nom. Thank you for looking.

I know in dogs that reputable breeders test for genetic diseases like hip dysplasia, von Willebrands, PRA, etc. The tests done vary from breed to breed. On a dog forum I belong to, it's stressed over and over that a reputable breeder has titled (show, field, working, etc.) breeding stock and...

My mom called me last night. During the conversation my stepfather came back from the store and handed my mom a grocery bag. (I'm listening to the conversation over the phone.) Mom asked him what was in the bag and he said 'Happy Valentine's Day! Turns out to be nine! bags of Brach's Cinnamon...

Mousies what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off. Nibble on they tiny feet. B. Kliban Anna with her favorite mouse toy, Mr. Stumpy. She chewed off one foot - hence the name.

Last Thursday I took Furrari to his vet beacause he was dehydrated (I gave him extra sub-q fluids but it didn't help) and just didn't seem 'right'. Turns out he had a bladder and kidney infection so the vet kept him to put him on I.V. and start antibiotics. Furrari had CRF and was prone to...

Last night Eli was sitting on the end of my china cabinet in the living room with the light from the dining room shining on him. I thought he looked so handsome that I needed to photograph him.

Furrari has been to the vet three times in the last week for diarrhea and a goopy eye. The eye has responded well to the ointment his vet gave me but the loose stools have not. First he was on metronidazole - didn't work. Took him in again and he got an injection for nausea. Helped his...

Actually, I've had her for almost three months now. In July, a close family friend died and left four cats. I was asked if I would take Annie, as she was called. There is more to the story, but since this is the picture section I had probably post pictures! Here's Anna Here she is exploring...

Yesterday morning I had to say good-bye to Freya. It turns out the intestinal problems she was having was from lymphoma. Over a 48 hour period she went down hill fast and my vet and I decided it was time. She was about 14 years old and lived with me for 12 years. I miss her so much! I can't...

Well, I took Furrari and Freya back to the vet's this morning. They had finished the antibiotics they were on and I wanted to make sure that the problems had been cleared up. Freya will be on Clavimox another week to clear up her intestinal infection. However, Furrari's BUN is still slightly...

Elijah Blue-eyes Freya

I'm putting this in it's own thread rather than have it buried in Freya or Furraris' threads because I think it's an important message to get out. Ok, confession time. I knew Freya and Furrari were having problems for several weeks before I finally took them to the vet. I have been unemployed...

Tuesday I realised Furrari looked sick too. Drinking to much and peeing to much. It's hard to tell sometimes with three cats just who is doing what in the litter boxes. (He has not urinated outside the box even once.) Since the vet said they had to rehydrate Freya with sub-q fluids in order to...

Monday I took Freya into the vet with nasty diarhea. This has happened before, off and on, but I changed her food (canned) to exclude fish. The diarhea cleared up and I thought a food allergy was the cause. So Monday when she squirted all over the floor next to the litter box that was it. (She...

My two boys (neutered) Furrari and Elijah love to have their tummies rubbed. In fact Eli doesn't want me to stop. Freya (my spayed girl) likes it for a finite length of time then the claws come out. Do your cats love or hate tummy rubs?

The food thread got me thinking about drinks to go with the edibles. So what is you're favorite hot drink (this being November and all)? Lately I've been on a hot tea kick. Numi's Monkey King Jasmine & Green Tea is my current favorite. Others in the cupboard are Stash Chai Spice Decaf...

I'm starting this here to keep from hijacking another thread. In the thread 'I laughed Out Loud' one of the commenters listed a site www.masquerademaskarts.com this site generates an original aristocratic title for you or your cat When I put in my cats' names here is what I got Earl...
