I had the vet check stinkie's mouth and she said it's in very bad shape. She said he needs surgery to have all of his teeth extracted. She said he'll be able to eat anything and will be like a different cat afterwards, which sounds great. But it still worries me. How can he chew? He loves dry...
I feel weird asking about this but here we go. Pepperoni and Monster were both neutered at about 6 months old. They are now about 2 years old, about a month apart in age. Once the other day and again this morning I caught Pepperoni (boy) on top of Monster (boy) pretty much going to town (pardon...
Can't figure out what to give Stinkie for Christmas this year. He loves getting inside sacks but all of the crinkle sacks I've checked out seem to have small holes and Stinkie is a big cat. He's 10 years old, spoiled, doesn't care much about toys, loves to sharpen his claws (but he already has a...
Stinkie is a 10 year old male cat. He was neutered as a kitten. I've had him since he was just maybe 5 or 6 months old when I rescued him from an animal shelter. Anyway, he loves to be outside during the day, although he has a curfew and has be back inside by a certain time. But he's bad about...
I have been using Frontline for several years now & it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. I want to be sure I use something safe. I'm considering trying advantage. So I was just hoping to get some opinions as to which one has worked best for you?
Stinkie has allergic dermatitis due to a flea allergy. Lately its gotten so much worse. His fur is thinning, he's had a temperature, and he's constantly scratching & washing himself. So I took him to the vet today hoping there was something he could give me that would help him. He gave me this...
Ok. I'm siiiiick. And every time I catch a cold or flu or something, I worry about the possibility of my cat catching it from me. Is that possible? That's my question. And obviously I worry about giving to people too, but the heck with them, I'm worried about my cat. lol. And I know it's...
Ok. So I'm turning 30 in June. And I know it's not THAT old. But still I'm kinda freaking out about it. I know this sounds crazy but in the back of my mind, I never thought I'd make it to 30. This is not a new feeling. Been there for a long time. Don't ask me why. I don't know. But anyway, I...
Yep, Stinkie is a genious! Seriously though, he is very smart. When he is doing something he shouldn't or heading in a direction he shouldn't all I have to do is say "stinkie no" and he'll stop and look at me. Then I can shake my head "no" or say "no" again and he'll stop doing it & turn back...
I did good this week! The other night, I happened to look out the front door only to see a stray tabby cat sitting on the front porch. He looked nervous & skiddish, just kind of balled up in the corner of a rug at the end of the porch. I thought to myself "this shouldn't be a tough one for me"...
I had posted this as a reply to the thread "matted hair" and no one responded. See, my problem is kind of different since Thumpie is so tempermental. Anyone have any suggestions?
One of my babies, Pretty Kitty, died about a year and a half ago. She was very special to me. I've had many cats in my life though. But for some reason, I dream about Pretty Kitty all the time. Still. This kind of thing has never happened before. What could be the reason for her being in my...
Someone told me today that cats have no souls and that they don't go to heaven. This really upset me. I argued that they do have a soul. I don't understand how someone could say this. Especially to me, a very proud cat mommy. I have to believe that when I die, every cat I've ever loved will be...
I've never really had any real friends outside of the family since I was in the eighth grade. I'm now 27 years old and now have a really good friend, a best friend, that I met about a year and a half ago. I've started becoming more outgoing, wanting to go out and do things instead of sitting at...
A friend of mine was talking to me today about being sunburned really bad many years ago. So bad that she couldn't even wear clothes. lol. Anyway, she said that when she got home, her aunt "talked the fire out me". And she was asking if I knew what that meant & was saying "I know you've heard...
