12/29/2023 at 1:30pm I buried my little Chippy. We had him cremated similar to his brother, Kittens. When I put Chippy down on 12/15 it was a rainy, drizzling day (My culture sees rain as auspicious), but on Friday when I buried him, it was a beautiful sunny December day. I told my wife I...

@di and bob, thank you for such a beautiful reply. I read it yesterday and I couldn't compose myself to respond. Yesterday was particularly difficult for me 24 hrs after that time where I said goodbye to my Chippy. I just broke down and listened to a clip of his purring and a video of us...

On Feb 9th, 2021, I had to put down his younger brother. I was broken. The two brothers were mutts, the older brother, a small, silky smooth black cat found in alley by abandoned house, legal name Enzo Furrari but affectionately called Chippy, along with 17 other names. Yes, truly 17 other...

Thank you for your kind words. I put him down today. I was blessed with seven wonderful days by his side. I fed him, bathed him and held him every moment I could without regret that I was able to be there for him when he most needed it. I am heart-broken and regretful. I am heart-broken...

Hey guys, Just wanting to get things off my chest. Have two male cats, one 13 and the other 12. This forum has been amazing to me in terms of support as age takes over both of them. My 12-year old tabby started developing all the telltale signs of neurological issues three weeks ago...

I posted about three weeks ago about nail clippings and visiting the vet. (Visiting Vet After Several Years Anyway, Enzo is a 9-year old (indoors only) always been healthy cat. After going to the vet for rabies and distemper my mother noted weakness/loss of appetite. This persisted for about...

Hello all! I have two healthy indoor male cats (Ages 9 and 8). Both have been 100% indoors, however life has happened and now they are both in care of my elder mother (I live halfway around the country). She is unable to keep up with their nail clippings and will have to take them outside to...

Thank you all. So far, so good. To cover the risk of infection, I had a talk with the vet, and he prescribed Enzo Amoxi-drops. I'm not a fan of antibiotics due to the killing of natural flora and increased risk of additional infections. That said, I am giving him 1ml a day, along with...

Sorry, realized the pcitures wasn't too great. Here's an additional one: Can vets prescribe an antibiotic without seeing the pet? I'm not a fan of antibiotics by any means. Ideally, I want to know if this wound looks deep or not. My main concern is circulation being trapped. I figure a...

Well, I came home to find him in good spirits. He's eating, and actually playing around with the other cat. I've kept them both isolated in my room as to limit movement. Here are the pictures: My next concern is infection. As I mentioned, I am applying a topical analgesic (neosporin)...

At work, so this is really brief. Came back home to find broken glass all over the kitchen, and roommate, placed both cats in my room. One of the cats has his hind paw's pad split open. The tip of the pad is ruptured, but it is not bleeding that bad. It is more of a small trickle that occurs...

I just started it a few days ago. Might as well see if you can tap into any network structure. I mean, I figure forums like this are a method of social interaction. BTW, added you BaloneysMom. I'm in the pharma/biotech industry if that helps at all.

I'm pretty ancient on these things (still don't have a facebook account!), but was wondering if any professionals out there with a linkedin account want to hook up?

I went in the bars with around $100 in my wallet....next morning I had like $3 left in it. Ughhh, what a horrible feeling. Lesson learned. Definitely getting there...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've been swamped and haven't had time to reply. I also realize nobody wants to read about my life, so I'll just conclude it real quick. I appreciate everyone's opinions/suggestions. It's been kind of an interesting week since I've been so busy. I...

I appreciate the viewpoints from everyone, but I believe you really struck a cord on this one. First and foremost, this girl is a sweet girl. She by no means deserves any of the names she has been associated with. I appreciate you pointing this out. I tried to approach it as unbiased as...

So many pretty ladies. After one too many drinks in Dallas.

My sentiments, exactly. I've never gotten to the bottom of it, but why would she move in with me? I've never had a girl so quickly just move in with me. Only situation was from a long-term relationship. It is a unique situation, and I feel she may just be using me for her own security...

Hi ladies, consider this a mild rant, vent and plea for advice! Background info: I'm a 26 years old typical urban (metro!!) guy from the North. The girl in question is a 28 yrs old southern belle. An important fact is that she ended a 1 year relationship with a guy back in January '08. So...

I think I posted in this thread a while ago. Anywho, I have lost about 22 lbs or so since July. I finally found the right motivation (a hot girl moved in with me , lol). Well, the hot girl thing didn't really work out as I had wanted it to, but at least I lost weight and am continuing to...
