    World War 3: Feline-style (fighting cats)

    Oy, where to start? Belle and Delilah are littermates and have lived with us since they were 10 weeks old. They are will be 5 years old in February. They have always been quite good friends. Grooming each other, playing together, etc. Delilah has had some issues with misdirected agression...

    If you wear glasses, have you tried this site?

    I wanted to share a website, just in case others don't know about it. This summer, I discovered Clearly Contacts. The American counterpart is Coastal Contacts. Although both their names refer to contacts, I have not ordered contacts from them as of yet...just glasses. They have GREAT deals on...

    Lala and Her Cat Dancer

    Delilah and I had a play session with her Cat Dancer tonight. She's a pretty lazy cat, but this is the one toy that will get her moving for a little while. The quality sucks because it was taken with my webcam...but I kind of like it, it makes her look like she moves even quicker than she...

    Hot, Lazy Days!

    It's been very hot here lately and we only have a portable air conditioner in our living room. It makes things tolerable, but not particularly comfortable. The kitties are using the time to rest, and they've both found perfect places! Usually the run in the other direction when I pull out the...

    Can you see a cat in this photo?

    Or this one? What about this one? And this one? (She found a stray gummy bear and took the opportunity to beat it up a bit) Here she is! I think Delilah approves of the new desk!

    Brats!

    We have a tiny little desk in our apartment. With 2 of use who spend a great deal of time at the computer and do work from home, it just wasn't cutting it! So, I found a used desk. It's big...almost too big for our space, but it was really nice and the price was right. So, I had to do some...

    Kitty Comics

    I'm working on report cards, so of course, I've found lots of interesting things on the internet in my efforts to not get things finished. Here's one of them: http://theoatmeal.com/tag/cats I'm pretty sure I saw the one before, but have never seen the others. I got a good chuckle out of them!

    Furminator Question

    I've had enough of cat hair! It's my own fault, because I don't brush my cats very often. But, the brush I have doesn't seem to do much even when I do remember to brush them. Especially for Delilah, who has short hair. So, I'm thinking of getting a furminator. However, a quick search showed me...

    Did I make the right decision (car related)?

    I have a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire. Nothing fancy, but it gets me where I need to go. There is a little body rust, mainly around the door frames. I bought it used and it hasn't caused me much difficulty in the 6 years I've had it - just some brake problems when I first got it...and I replaced the...

    $55??? (Hills i/d)

    When Belle was sick over the holidays, I was sent home with a small bag of Hills i/d. Can't even remember how much it cost, because it was part of a $900 vet bill. Today, I ran out of food and didn't want to rush home from work to get to the vet in time, so I called the vet and ordered a big...

    Cat Crazed: Canadian Documentary

    I've been seeing commercials for this documentary all week and I stumbled across it tonight. It's available to watch online, although I'm not sure if those of you in the US will have access. http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/video.html (if it doesn't play automatically, scroll down a bit...

    IBD cat - i/d or other?

    Belle is just beginning to get better - she started vomiting and then went off her food. It took her a week and a half and a couple vet visits to get better - prednisolone seems to be what has made her turn around. The vet recommended putting her on Hill's i/d wet and dry. They really didn't...

    I'm so frustrated and upset right now.

    If Belle's eating, she's not eating much (I think she's had a few nibbles of wet food here or there). She's still throwing up a bit. Bile now, whereas before she went to the vet it was more like phlegm. I can tell she doesn't feel well. In the way she sits and how quiet she is. She's also...

    Belle is at the vet for the day :(

    Here's an explanation of what's been happening with Belle. When I took her to the vet, I really hoped that it would be simple and we'd be on our way. Just a bug or a halrball, or something easily treated. However, the vet wasn't sure what was going on and was concerned that she's lost over a...

    E-Book Reader

    I need some information, and I had seen threads talking about E-Book Readers in the past, so figured folks on here might have some insight. I just talked to my mom and she asked what I thought about E-book readers. Every year, it is my responsibility to find my dad something to give my mom for...

    Delilah needs a dental :(

    We just went to the vet for checkups and Delilah needs a dental. Belle had some tartar build up, but it was not bad enough for a dental yet. I got a quote and the total was about $700, including $93 for the pre-screen and $99 for the repair of her umbilical hernia (that was supposed to be fix...

    Vet recommended Hills Healthy Advantage

    I just got back from the vet where the girls had their annual checkup. Here's how they checked out: Belle: Good weight (9-ish lbs), some tartar build up (but not enough for a dental at this point), sensitive stomach (hasn't done well with any foods with grain - her poop gets soft and sticks to...

    Best way to handle grumpy cats?

    Belle and Delilah are littermates and best friends who have never been apart. They generally get along very well, groom each other, and play together. However, all this changes when Delilah gets a wif of Francis. Francis is our porch kitty...long story, but I guess he technically lives next...

    Questions to ask a new vet?

    I'm considering switching vets. I'm not particularly fond of the new head vet at our clinic (and the fact that the other vet dropped Metacam directly from a HUGE bottle into Delilah's mouth at her last vaccinations really made me nervous). I'm not set on leaving the vet, but I get a good feeling...
