    New digicam, Snowball showcase

    Got a new digital cam for xmas (well, I got it for my folks, but I have to use it a lot to make sure it works, yeah, that's it). Here's my rescued stray Snowball. Okay, she doesn't look like a snowball, but that's the name of the cat from the simpsons (and that cat's black!) so I couldn't...

    Posting pics?

    Are there any sites out there (free) that allow you to post pictures and also remote link them? I know that geocities, image station, and Lycos won't allow remote linking. I assume most people who upload images have there own bit of webspace, probably provided by their ISP (mine doesn't...

    Worst vet visit EVER

    Well, this morning was the worst vet visit EVER (I say in my best Comic Book guy voice). Compared to some of your war stories it might not seem too bad, but so far this was the most nervous Snowball has been. She had a bald spot on her hiney, and I felt some bumps that felt like bug bites, so...

    Hissy - Feeding raw chicken wings

    Hi Hissy, In another thread you mentioned that you occassionally feed raw chicken wings. I would like to offer some to my ferals (and Snowball) and just wanted to check with you to make sure I make the proper precautions. Any special preparation needed? Are the ones you can buy at the grocery...

    Digital Camera question for Scott7777

    Scott, first just let me say your photos are spectacular. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions about digital cameras. I'm planning on buying my first one soon, and don't know squat about it. After asking a lot of people and browsing a lot of sites, I've narrowed it down to...

    Things you should accustom your kitten to

    My friends' recently got two kittens (1 calico and 1 b/w kitty). They have it under control (so far) but I wanted to give them some extra pointers. One thing that they haven't considered is getting the kittens used to certain things so that in the future they won't be afraid of them. Here's...

    Cat fast (withholding food)?

    Just curious; has anyone ever withheld food for 48 hours to fast their cat? Someone else was asking about a raw food diet, and I was interested to I visited the feline future site, and in addition to the raw food info they say that the occasional 48 hour fast is very beneficial to the cat and...

    Heated Cat Bed for Outside Use?

    Has anyone tried using a heated cat bed outside? I know most of the heated beds are meant to be used inside, but there's one on Cat-Tail.com that they say can be used outside. I would love to get one for Snowball, what with the sudden temperature drop here (just this Monday it was still very...

    Friendly feral dilemna

    Here's a little update on Junior, a black kitten I've been feeding. He's actually becoming somewhat socialized! He meows at me and purrs loudly whenever he sees me, and runs right at me as I put his food down. Of course, he still won't let me touch him, but he is very comfortable hanging out...

    Question about yearly checkup, dental, and vaccinations

    Well, it's close to 1 year since Snowball wandered into my life. Within a week of feeding her I brought her in to the vet for the feral treatement (neuter, vaccinations, ear tip) but it turned out she was actually a stray cat. She still got her 1 year rabies and I believe Feline Leuk. shots...

    Junior, the new feral kitten

    Hey all. I was kind of hesitant to post this, because it seems that my latest attempts at cat rescue haven't turned out too good, but hopefully this one won't be too complicated. This is Junior (http://www.geocities.com/bmphan/junior.htm), who I've been feeding for a couple of weeks. I...

    Kitten's reaction to my cat

    Hello, There's a small black kitten that I've been feeding recently. He's probably about two months old; he still has a kittenish yowl and those small round kitten eyes. Anyway, my cat is an outside cat (not ideal, but that's the situation) and sometimes runs into the kitten. I feed the...

    How do you go about trapping multiple cats in a colony?

    First, let me just say thanks so much for the advice given to me so far. I'm now trying to TNR about 5 cats. The only problem I see is that 4 of them hang out together, and when it's meal time they all eat from the same bowl. Trapping the loner isn't a big deal, but how would I trap the other...

    How soon after giving birth does a cat go into heat?

    In general, how soon after giving birth do your cats go back into heat? Just a general range of time, I'm sure it's different for every cat. Thanks!

    Pics of Raku

    Pics are here: http://www.geocities.com/bmphan/Raku.htm Well, the good news is that Raku continues to show up for feedings. The bad news is she's pregnant! I didn't notice her belly the first few feedings because she was always crouching low to the ground, but last night I saw her walking...

    Who has a fat cat and how did they get that way?

    My cat Snowball came to me as a stray; I don't think she was stray for very long because she wasn't super skinny like most of them are. This was the first time I'd ever dealt with a cat (didn't even like them before) and didn't know too much about how to feed them. The first week or so I gave...

    Cars that run on French Fry oil

    Just heard Daryl Hannah on a morning radio show talk about her car that runs on the oil used to cook french fries. You can actually take any car that uses diesel fuel and use the fry oil instead. It is the cleanest burning fuel available right now; of course it will be replaced when the...

    Try using a different browser

    You might also try a different browser; I use Opera, which has a built in pop-up blocker, and I remember some other people here saying Mozilla does as well. Very convenient!
