We have 2 cats. Both female, both spayed. Our older girl, Nikki (short for Nikita) is about 6 years old, and was our first cat. Our youngster, Poppy, is about 5 years old, and came along about a year after Nikki joined us. They got along from day 8 (Poppy was 9 weeks old, and isolated for a week...

My longhaired girl is 4 years old, and I just noticed tonight that she's got a balding spot above her right eye, basically where her "eyebrows" are. It doesn't seem to bother her, but it bothers *me*. It looks a bit inflamed too. Is this something that's pretty normal for cats (I know the fur is...

We have 2 cats and a dog. All of them have exhibited a change in behaviour. It's like I've been basted in chicken juice or something, they all want to be near me/ on me/ petted by me. Especially the cats, who have up until now been affectionate, but not anywhere near this loving. Our older...

Our female cat LOOOVES Lysol! For some reason that makes no lick of sense to anyone but her, she loves to roll around in the spot where we've sprayed Lysol (mostly after cleaning up dog up-chuck). We've tried to stop her on many occasions, but she'll just wait until our backs are turned and go...

I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant with my first baby. My hubby and I are planning on having the baby's crib near our bed, simply because we don't have that much room to put it elsewhere. We also have 2 cats, who love to sleep pretty much anywhere soft. I'm worried that once the baby comes, our bigger...

My husband runs a store, and when he counts the till at the end of the day, our little girl Poppy *always* has something to say about it! Can't quite figure out why. Any ideas?... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Poppy_0001.flv (sorry about the camera work... I ain't no cinematographer...

Ok. I'm NEARLY past the 6 week pregnancy mark (significant for me, since I miscarried at 6 weeks about 5 months ago), and I'm cautiously optimistic that everything will be fine. I am experiencing some things this time around that weren't an issue the last time, and I'm looking for advice/ input...

Guess what??? I did a home pregnancy test last night, and it came back positive!!! I am over the moon and stars right now!!! When I showed the test results to my husband, he immediately got up and gave me a big hug. Then he sat down, hugged me around my waist, and kissed my belly. He's really...

Ok. Hopefully the second time's the charm I was 6 weeks pregnant in July, but I miscarried. Besides being emotionally very hard to take, I suffered some physical pain. I had severe cramping, lower back pain and bleeding. I'm 90% sure I'm pregnant again, and although I haven't taken any home...

I was helping my husband move something heavy down the stairs yesterday. It was awkward, so I tied a rope to my end and wrapped the rope around my hand to get a better grip. We were going around a corner and I felt a sudden sharp pain in my hand. There's no visible injury, but the base of my...

Hi all, I have a question for those of you who had to cope with a miscarriage... I miscarried just over 2 months ago (no D&C needed), and I think I might be pregnant again... I HOPE!!, but the signals I'm getting are nowhere near as strong as they were the first time around. Has anyone else...

I had a miscarriage just over 2 months ago (which was a real blow for me, because I was SO happy to be pregnant), and I think I might be pregnant again... don't know for sure yet. For those who have been pregnant, did you notice a change in your cat's behaviour? My husband keeps telling me he's...

I'm trying my hand at gardening, with a satisfactory amount of success. My mom got me started with half a dozen plants she brought over from her garden, and I expanded on that. Haven't killed anything yet!! (knock on wood). I planted some hens and chicks along one side of our fence, and I'm...

I had an ultrasound and it confirmed what I didn't want to admit to myself... the earlier bleeding I'd had resulted in a miscarriage. I was SO happy to be pregnant, I didn't want to let myself accept the suspicion I'd had about the bleeding. I was 6 weeks in when it happened, and got...

Hopefully this doesn't make me worry more. I need advice from people who have been through this before. I'm 6 weeks pregnant, and I've been bleeding (moderately heavy) since yesterday. I had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday, and he checked me out. He basically told me that if I continue bleeding...

I just found out that I'm PREGNANT!!! My husband and I have been wanting to start a family for a while, so this news is as exciting as when he got on bended knee and asked "will you marry me?"!!!! We've decided to hold off telling our family until the first 3 months are up, just to be on th...

I have a 4 year old spayed female, and I've noticed lately that she likes to "knead" clothes, sheets, etc... with her hind legs. She stands in one spot and kind of walks in place with her hind legs only. What does this mean? Any ideas?

It's been on my mind for a while... my husband and I have decided we want to start a family, and I think it might be happening!! It's still very early in the game, but I'm getting really excited! Other than missing your period, are there any other obvious signs that you might be an expectant...

Ok. Here's the deal. We're thinking of getting a second dog. There are a few things to consider before we do, so we're trying to figure out timing. 1.) we will be adopting a shelter dog. Something about the size of a whippet would be ideal, but easy to care for and that gets along with cats...

He passed away in ICU early this afternoon. He'd been in intensive care for a little over a week, recovering from an emergency surgery on his intestine. Things were looking good, then his vitals dropped last night. They managed to stabilize him this morning, but by this afternoon, he'd already...
