If so and you have the time, would you be willing to PM me? I have a couple of questions about Reykjavik.

... just for an annual check-up, you drive 45 minutes in stop-and-go traffic to the tune of two *screaming* cats, even though there are other vet offices closer to home. That was my morning, folks! Fortunately, everyone is back home now, and things have calmed down a bit. I may have a few more...

Late last week, my father and my sister were driving home from an errand in the pouring rain. They saw what looked like a large black bag in the middle of the road. As they approached, they realized it was a big black dog, who was lying there, apparently, because he'd been hit by a car. They...

A while ago I posted about a small mat problem with my Birman. (I asked whether people preferred vets or groomers, but ended up dealing with the mat myself.) Since then, the problem has gotten worse. We brush him regularly, but for whatever reason, he has developed a few more mats on both hips...

Mismaris' goldfish thread made me think of my dream of someday having a koi pond! Has anyone here ever had one? I would probably never do it at my current residence (for one thing, I'd like to have a bigger yard), but it's something I like to think about.

Yesterday someone rang our doorbell. My SO and I do have occasional guests (as a matter of fact, a couple of people were here last week on Christmas Day), but we don't do a lot of entertaining at home. My point is that the cats know very well what the doorbell means, but we don't have a lot of...

Hi - Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I have a two-year-old cat who occasionally has a cough. He goes for weeks at a time with no problems, especially in the spring and summer months. However, winter is now on its way, and he has had a brief coughing episode on at least three occasions...
