the story brought a lump to my throat! It's true, animal rescue is about helping humans as much as it is about helping the animals:-) thanks for posting the story.

sending you lots of calming vibes...hope you (and the dog's eyes) survive the day!!

Krazy Kat2: yeah I wish more people knew about it. I've made it my homepage, so I start off every internet session by clicking on each tab, and doing my bit to end poverty & animal suffering. Also, the jewellery is such good value! Ut0pia: you'll have to post a pic of the bag you end up...

Very sorry to hear about all you and your friend (and her family) are going through. Losing someone to suicide can add an extra layer to the grieving process. It sounds like your friend is slightly in limbo: on the one hand she' doing what she can to keep herself safe from suicidal...

Hi, I dunno if it's too late to make a suggestion, but this site linked below has some pretty funky stuff, I've bought a lot of their jewellery, but not much by way of bags/clothes, but as most stuff is pretty inexpensive it might be worth checking out. www.thehungersite.com

Great list of advice! Wish I'd known some of this stuff before I got Shadow & Salem. I wonder if "Advice for Newbies" could become a stickie?? My very small piece of advice for newbies is to NOT buy the kitten sized starter items: I bought a very small litter tray & feeding dish, which all...

Firstly I have to say, good on ya for making the efforts you have done so far!! Judging from above you've put in a lot of energy into trying to accommodate this very nervous cat. From my brief study of behavioural psychology (which applies equally well to children and animals) I would like to...

I have the same problem, both my babies fance the sides of two armchairs as their scratching posts. I have a water bottle that is used for spraying plants (so it has a very fine mist) but I spray it at the cats immediately if they attack the chairs. It's enough of a deterrent to put them off...

Sorry to hear Katie wasn't well. As for getting her to trust you both again, I think (from my experience with a very shy/untrusting cat), that it will be a combination of time and bribery. When I first had to capture Shadow and bring her to the vet, on our return she legged it outdoors and...

Awwwwww, bless! Bet ur both gonna miss her big time. Well at least she's returning to a sane environment. btw, a word of caution...admitting u took a sickie online might not be wise...I've heard of ppl being found out through facebook etc and getting in trouble at work

I see! I was thinking maybe u'd kinda mixed up ur fingers while typing "fork" on the post's title, but then when u used same word in the body of the post, I was tad confused. They look handy - more environmentally friendly than using both spoons and forks. Maybe beneath all that fur, there...

What on earth is a spork??

Brief background: Shadow was overnite at the vet's last week, high fever, dehydrated etc. Thankfully went to collect her the next day, all back to normal, and we were all very happy. Vet said to keep her indoors for the day, so I could observe her fully & ensure she ate/drank didn't fall over...

Oh my goodness, that's soooo adorable. When ppl ask me why I like/have cats, I tell them because they "feed my soul" and it's moments like the one you had, that I consider soul-food!

I have no experience of migraines, but it seems like you're being hard on yourself...I can't imagine being able to "suck it up" if your head is pounding and you can't concentrate for the pain and discomfort you're feeling all over your body. Like others have said...get yourself back to the...

It reminded me (and prompted me) to write two very long overdue thank-you letters. I'm gonna do it today! Thanks for reminding us all.

Just wanted to add to the messages to say well done for removing her from that nasty environment. But don't dismiss what you did, not everyone is so caring, so give yourself a pat on the back (and some vibes) for being such a giving person. Hope your friend's rooming situation sorts itself out...

Is it just me or does anyone else think that most cat collars are made too wide? My two babies have short hair, and no matter what material the collars are made out of, they always seem to eventually leave a very obvious 'indent' on the cat's fur. Not that my two manage to keep collars on for...

Dunno if it'll help, but I've trained my two to come home (assuming they're within earshot) when I ring a bell...it's their sign that food's ready:-) Maybe you could get them a separate/extra special treat that you could get them used to having only in the basement, and when they're eating it...

As the owner of 2 outdoor cats, can I ask why you want to turn Harvey into an indoor cat? If he's staying in the same location/house and he's used to roaming outside, then it seems cruel to me to try curb his outdoor life (especially if he's been used to doing that for many of his 8 years). I...
