My friend has a 19 year old cat who's had some health issues, but who has been doing very well.  However, she's starting to not eat very well at all.  My friend is taking her to the vet this afternoon for fluids and maybe syringe feeding (the vet saw the cat just last week) - I'd appreciate any...

Sorry is this has already been posted - but many of us have read Gwen Cooper's Homer's Odyssey.  Scarlett went to the Bridge today after a valiant struggle.  Vashti, her sister, passed away earlier this year.  I

So, I was doing my Leslie Sansone DVD this morning in the frontroom, which is open to the kitchen....and some movement caught my eye. It was a chipmunk coming out of a lower kitchen cabinet. At first I couldn't believe it, and it quickly went back in - but popped out once more and then back...

Last month I had my boy in for a semi-annual senior panel, and the urine sample came back with microscopic blood traces. My guy had struvite crystals, so I'm always very nervous about the urine. The vet suggested, absent any other symptoms, we wait 30 days and do another sample. Yay...

For rabies shots and semi-annual senior panels. My vet is five minutes away, so taking one at 2:00 pm then the other at 3:00...assuming I can catch them! It'll all be worth it, especially if we get the hoped for 'all good' reports but I admit this is when I envy dog owners whose pets like...

Maybe it's spring cleaning time, maybe I'm wondering if something would be good besides my microfiber cloth, but, wondering what you all use to polish wood furniture and cabinets that's safe for kitty (yes, mine do walk on all the tables around the house, why do you ask?) Thanks much for your...

I know many of us have read Gwen Cooper's Homer's Odyssey...I wonder if we could spare some TCS vibes for her Scarlett, who will be having surgery on Thursday for a tumor on her leg. Gwen recently lost her Vashti after many years of happiness together. http://gwencooper.com/blog.php Thanks!

Yep, both went today. Thankfully, just cleanings, nothing more noted. Anal glands expressed, and they got a urine sample out of my little girl. They had their senior panels a few weeks ago, but she was wiggling so much that the vet said to wait til the cleaning. I can't imagine why This...

Took my two in for senior panels Saturday...while we're going to wait for her dental cleaning at the end of January to get her urine sample, my Dharma's blood work came back great and knock wood, nothing will turn up in her UA. And my struvite crystal boy - excellent blood work and nice clean...

Just hoping that I have little trouble getting my kitties to the vet for their senior check ups this afternoon - I'm thinking they're fine and this is just a preventitive measure - but I'm not looking foward to getting them in the carriers. My girl especially hates visiting the vet. Of course...

Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone here at the Cat Site - for sharing their knowledge, and their friendship, to all of us with questions or just needing a virtual hug. Best wishes to all for a health and happy new year.

I saw these at Petsmart this afternoon - has anyone used them? Then I read big steel pans from a restaurant supply place might work also.

Over the last few years, watching the National Dog Show has become a holiday staple for me. Just watching it off the DVR now - such beautiful dogs. It's totally amazing to me now to see all the different breeds coming from a common ancestor - wouldn't it be strange in a way if cats varied as...

Thinking of being brave and painting the hall bath - and starting to set up a reserve for the rest of the condo to be painted. From what I've read, I'm interested in Benjamin Moore's Aura paint line - low VOC, quick drying, etc. I've always liked Benjamin Moore....but never used this line...

My little Dharma entered, and changed, my life on July 1, 2006. It's hard to believe it's been four years already, but I'm so glad she laid her spell on me that day at Petsmart. And thank all of you for your advice and counsel as I began my pet parent life.

I took my boy in yesterday for his check up and had a senior panel done, etc. The results came back today and all his values were 'perfect', per the vet, and the Hills CD seems to be doing a wonderful job - he had struvite crystals last September. She said he could stand to lose a little...

So, since I got my kitties I find myself increasingly using ecologically safe cleaners, etc. (better for me too!). And, ok, don't bake a lot but realized my oven did need some cleaning. I ended up using baking soda since I decided Easy Off, etc., seemed too dangerous around my kitties. And it...

A family on a local village bulletin board has been searching for their newly adopted, one year old German Shepherd who ran away a few days ago. They believe he's been sighted a few times, and they're searching looking desperately for him. They said he's very friendly, but also very shy and...

On Labor Day, I took my boy to the ER vet as he seemed to be having urinating issues - going to box, but little or nothing coming out. He wasn'block and the ER vet gave him two shots (painkiller and antibiotic) and a course of Batril and said to follow-up with my own vet. Once I got home...

Ok, I'm going to transition to an all wet diet. I just took Dante to the ER vet as I noticed he'd go to the pan and either nothing, or very little was coming out (and he's usually a big twice a day pee-er). Otherwise he was eating fine, poo'd ok, and was drinking from his fountain. But, of...
