    Before cats, ferrets owned me

    Oh man, your brother was right - it IS a play sound! They only ever "dook" when they're feeling very excited and happy, and its often a part of the Wardance! Here it is in a video!

    CRF Cat -- very high blood pressure 220/145....urine pH 5.0....So furious!!!!!!!!!

    Oh my...yes, vent away. Is this an ongoing thing with this lady? I'd have a good mind to make a formal complaint, but then again - maybe not if the only other clinics around are worse. I really don't believe she tried to use a dog cuff, though, man...oh wow. That's...a little scary. But not...

    Antibiotic question and concern.....

    Poor 'Squeak! If only we could take the pain in place of our pets...it is especially tough when its an idiopathic issue. But the tests weren't for nothing; FIC is awful, but at least you can rest well knowing that he isn't suffering from something more ominous. Hang in there, Mr. Pip -...

    Caught in the Act!

    I loved this so much that I took the liberty of doodling on it. The straw in the mouth just set me off laughing...I turned it into a cigar, gave him a top hat, monocle and a whiskey.

    Imsadi & Itty Bitty, two inseparable friends

    These are all amazing pictures, but that first set gave me actual goosebumps. My jaw was dropped the whole time I was scrolling. I can not WAIT for hubs to get home so I can share this with him as well.

    What have I gotten myself into!?! (Pics)

    You and me both, Tink. To be fair, I'm in a 3rd floor apartment with southern-facing windows in the room the plants would live in. The huge western-facing window in my dining room gets fantastic light...but that territory belongs to the cats with catwalks and sun-bathing platforms all over...

    Before cats, ferrets owned me

    I was checking out some old pictures this afternoon, and came across a ton of ferret shots! I had three, but this guy was the love of my life and my first animal soul-mate. We named him Zizou (Zee for short), after the soccer (sorry - football for the rest of you!) player who head-butted...

    Hello Everyone - Newbie Introduction

    Hey Patrick! I just came across this place, too and had to jump on in. Really, really great people around here and tons of information. Can't wait to see pics of Ruby!

    Puttin Mufasa down today

    Absolutely stunning photos. What a beautiful, handsome boy...and huge, too. My very best healing vibes to the brave poodle and big hugs from Z and Dora.

    Out-talked by Your Cat

    The only time I really ever hear Z talk is if DH or I happen to sneeze. Even then, its more of this concerned-sounding soft chatter ("me-mew?"). She has been known to run the full house to get to you and deliver her "bless you". Fake sneezes get nothing. Panda doesn't meow unless something...

    Trimming fuzzy feet?

    My 'Dora has always had hilariously furry toes. Tufts of fur totally encompass her pads and I think its absolutely adorable. Thing is, I just got my carpet cleaned and am starting to really notice just how much litter she alone tracks into my living room. Z doesn't track nearly as much litter...

    I Just Don't Know What To Do Anymore!

    Totally agreed, which could also explain her wanting to be at your side constantly. My Dora has had stones, and I can always tell she doesn't feel well when she starts being super affectionate. This girl usually gives me ten or twenty minutes of lap time max per day, and when it goes up to 4...

    FDA - Arsenic in Chicken Concerns

    Things like this makes me glad that I never, ever buy any meat or produce from grocery stores. If you think an article about "very low levels of arsenic" sounds ominous, please do watch "Food, Inc." and "The World According to Monsanto", documentaries on the food industry and Monsanto's utter...

    My cat isn't very good at hide-n-seek

    Annnnnnnnnnnd I noticed the picture board directly after posting this in the lounge. I think its time for a coffee break.

    My cat isn't very good at hide-n-seek

    She always forgets that she has a tail. Shortly after this photo was taken, Dora initiated the routine "FOUND YOU" pounce and my bed was no longer neatly made. Or made at all. Happy Thursday, TCS.

    Drinkwell Fountain

    Oh man, I had one of these when Pandora was the only cat in the house. She LOVED it...but also loves faucets and showers (she doesn't get in, just puts her head in to drink). Now Z...when I added her in, she decided that the machine was some sort of devil-spawn on a mission to extinguish...

    Moving with cats

    I'm not so sure that I personally would sedate my kids if a move was underway. My cats are often WAY more anxious if they are sedated...maybe not while they're zombified, but when they begin to come-to, they tend to freak out. Couple that with new smells and new territory...well. I'd make...

    Please help me help Zoe!

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think others would agree, you give off the impression that you care genuinely and unconditionally about your cat - and I'm just sorry I can't give you a professional answer on this one. But - one of my dear friends had a cat that sounds a lot like Zoe...

    Another Simon's Cat video

    Yep, thats precisely what it looks like under my fridge. Matter of fact, my couch, bed, entertainment center, and fridge were subject to a search recently. I have a shoebox that I keep all the cat toys in; usually, I switch their toys every week or so. Old toys get picked up, washed (if...

    I HATE this couch! Argh!

    Hmm...I've got this corduroy-like mat in my hallway that does the same thing. Not even my vacuum does a great job on it, nor will sticky-rolls or tape or a damp rag. Then I tried a cat brush and it came right up, so I tried my bathroom scrub brush and it did the same thing! Perhaps a stiff...
