I understand your feelings, people are sometimes to passionate over things. I'm sure that most everyone here is trying to do what is best for their cats. I wish everyone could state their feelings without others ridiculing them. We are all individuals with often differing opinions & that...

Thank you Melissa for pointing out my mistake in punctuation. A comma inserted in the wrong place can make a definate difference. It should read dead diseased, & companion animals. :>)) The premium cat foods do not get there protein sources from rendering companies. If you are happy with...

There are several good foods out there available to feed your cats without home preparing the meals. I personally will not feed the brands that allow, dead, diseased & companion animals to be put in there food. Some excellent brands are Wellness, Felidae, Solid Gold, Flint River, California...

What a sweet picture, I could just reach out & give them both a big hug. My3boys & I wish them a very Happy Birthday Looks like they are very happy

I do think this is one of the more funny ones I have seen. Actually, most "reliable sources" on the internet these days is just about as reliable as this one, LOL!!

Nena, you certainly made the right decision. If you had married this man, you would have been very unhappy. He might have even been abusive towards your animals in the future. It sounds like you certainly have your priorities in the right perspective, With your children, animals & education...

Boy, I know what your going through. We had them last year. They get in everywhere. I never put my vacuum away all winter last year, everyday I vacuumed them up. & yes they bite. I used to love ladybugs, but now I have no remorse vacuuming them up or flushing them. They smell badly if crushed...

Its in Pennsylvania. I hope I am able to find out what his actual sentence and or fine will be when he has his trial. People are standing up for the abused animals much more now than in the past. So its possible that he may get a good sentence. They were not even going to arrest him, but...

An update. The person who did this was 23 years old. He did end up being fired, I'm sure due to the many protests of customers. And he will go to court next month, with the maximum penalty being $5000 & 5 years in prison. Even if he gets maximum sentence, its not nearly enough He took a life...

I found this post today on my Rottweiler forum, (they care about cats also) This was on the news also. I simply cannot imagine something like this happening, but I know it does, everyday Well my morning was going good till I picked the paper up, actually yesterday's paper, anyway I proceded...

Val, I'm not sure you would necessarily know if you had a staph infection. I had one on my lung 3 years ago & didn't know I had it, found it on a chest xray. They removed part of my lung because of it. (for what thats worth) !! Now I imagine I have just frightened you more. Didn't mean to. Just...

Thanks for the good laugh. And my cats can identify with almost all of them

Val, hang in there. I know what your going through. And I believe we all know what your going through. I have to honestly say that for all the years I have had cats, I still cringe when the vet says one of my cats needs medications. Thank goodness they have been healthy for quite some time...

Oh Blue, you are missed. I came back to the forum, expecting to see all your beautiful, creative posts & you were not here. I have kept you in my thoughts, more than you know. A broken heart will heal, with lots of time. I'm so sorry this is something you have to go through. I will keep you...

Any food containing by-products is questionable? The rendering companies are the ones who sell the proteins (meats) to the pet food companies, so pet food companies don't always know what they are getting. Many companies are not well regulated.

Hi Melissa, don't worry about ruffling feathers, you have a good point. Your right about cats eating the most disgusting things, & mostly there bodys do handle them, but that doesn't mean its the best thing for them. And occasionally they can die from eating diseased things. The factor I am...

I really don't have any advice. But I would think that patience, patience, & more patience will be required of you, sounds like you have already made some progress. I just wanted to commend you on taking in these abused cats. Most people would have left both of these cats to there fates. You...

Lets see, I have had many breeds & different favorites at different times. Soooooooooo right now number 1 would be my Cornish Rex, their big ears & such expressive eyes make them so cute. And second would be my Siamese, I have always owned at least 2 Siamese together with other breeds, they are...

Debby, Please don't leave the forum. I'm just coming back, after leaving when I said something upsetting to someone else. Its a good forum, with lots of good information & yours is valuable to lots of us. Whats one person, when so many of us want you to stay! We all have conflicts, sooner...

I just found this on grieving, very good article. Grief is a wound that needs attention in order to heal. To work through and complete grief means to face our feelings openly and honestly, to express or release our feelings fully, and to tolerate and accept our feelings for however long it...
