    Mixed eyes - colors interlaced

    Hi, I'm just curious what can cause the interlacing of eye colors in cats? To explain what I mean, below is a picture of my sister's cat Simon. I've searched all over the net and found no mention of this. Thanks. Here is Simon:

    Cat and dog poems by Pablo Neruda

    Hi everyone, I was reading a poetry site and came across these two poems. One (about the dog) is very sad but moving and wonderful. The one about the cat is also fantastic but not sad. Both are by Pablo Neruda. Here they are: A Dog Has Died My dog has died. I buried him in the garden next to a...

    The kindness of people

    I know as cat lovers we are constantly being reminded of how horrible people can be - people abandon their animals, there are a lot of abuse cases etc. but I wanted to share something really nice that happened to me today. There is a lady I work with who is very sympathetic to my love of...

    Is it OK to wash sick kittens?

    I have a thread in Health & Nutrition about my kitten Grady who got very sick. He's also very dirty after spending the night in the ER and getting poked and prodded (not to mention having diarrhea like whoa.) His temperature has to be monitored so should I wait to wash him?

    Hypoglycemic coma

    Hi everyone, I hastily made a thread in "Crossing the Bridge" about a kitten I thought had passed away. After making the thread, I went to say my goodbyes to the kitten and she moved! I was so excited to see that that I rushed her to the vet ER immediately. I figured if they couldn't save her...

    A great way to spread the word about petfinder.com

    Hi everyone, While I was punishing myself by browsing petfinder.com, I came across this wonderful link: http://www.petfinder.com/shop.html You can buy t-shirts for cheap which help the shelters out by spreading the word (by your wearing of them) about the site. I think it's a great idea and...

    Scratching at food like it's litter

    Hi everyone. My kitten Max (4 months old) has this habit that perplexes me. Whenever he eats, once he's done, he scratches around the food mat like he's trying to cover something up (as he would do in a litter box.) I've seen my other cats do this *occasionally* but only when we tried a new...

    Anyone ever seen eyes like this?

    This is Simon. He's my sisters cat so I rarely have a chance to photograph him. His eyes are *so* unique. Has anyone ever seen eyes like this? I've seen eyes where they are different colors, but never interspersed like his are.

    Where did your love for cats come from?

    I always had cats growing up and liked them but I considered myself a dog person, through and through. We would always have more than one cat and I took to a couple of them but it was not what I considered to be "love". Then my kitten Max found his way into my life. He was suffering from an...

    My latest rescue

    Hi everyone. A co-worker called me yesterday to inform me she'd found a female cat and her kittens. She asked if I could take them in and, being the sucker I am, I said yes. Apparently what happened is the owners of the cat threw her out while she was pregnant because she was scratching their...

    Giving medicine to sick cats

    For anyone who has read my thread over in Health & Nutrition ("Recently found very sick cat (kitten?)"), you will know that I recently took in a stray with a URI and a missing eye. He's tested negative for FeLV/FIV. Anyhow, I'm having a hard time putting ointment on his missing eye. He doesn't...

    Recently found a very sick cat (kitten?)

    Recently I found a very sick kitten or cat outside my door - I'm not sure how old he is because he is VERY frail and looks malnourished. He's missing one eye and the whole area is very pussy. He also appears to have a severe upper respiratory infection because he has a ton of snot and can barely...

    Curious about building cat trees

    Hi everyone. This is my first post. I have two young kittens (7 and 8 weeks, respectively) and would like to get them a cat tree or cat condo. However, I'm a college student so although I'm capable of paying their vet fees, buying a $300+ cat tree is out of the question so I'm wondering if...
