Hi, everyone, Gosh, I haven't been here forever - I have so much going on right now, I just don't have any time for internet or e-mails. But I had to let everyone know about Simba's visit to the vet. As many of you know, Simba is a stray we took in last year. He was pretty starved when we...

OK, here's one of those silly household things that I think people do differently - when you make up a bed, so you put the top sheet on with the pattern side (the 'right' side) up, or with the pattern side down, so when you turn down the covers you see the pattern side? (I'm cleaning house, and...

Hi, all; I asked my sister if she would trust me to sew her prom dress this year, and she agreed to let me try. My mom and I made it for her last weekend. Here are a couple of pictures - I can't wait to see how she looks on prom night!!! (I lost some resolution making this picture small...

Here are some cute haikus about cats that a co-worker sent to me. I thought they would be appreciated here... You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you. You *must* scratch me there! Yes, above my tail! Behold elevator butt! The rule for today: Touch...

Hi, all; Just wanted to let everyone know that I am not going to be online much for awhile - I am going to be very busy for the next several months. I will jump in from time to time, but probably won't be able to keep up as much as I'd like to. This is a great place; I just don't want anyone...

I wasn't sure if this should go into behavior or health, so if a moderator feels it should be moved, please do so... I am submitting a question for my sister-in-law. About a year ago, she started noticing large patches of missing fur on the sides of her cat Isabelle's stomach. She brought...

Hi, everyone; I am wondering if anyone could help me out with some info about IBS in cats. I looked around the site and searched the threads, but didn't find some of the info I am looking for - sorry if I missed something that is already out there. I am looking for the following info: 1)...

Hi, everyone; I know that right now many people have family members serving in the armed forces who will be a long way from home for the holidays. I thought it would be nice if we shared some info about them, so they can be in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season. My brother-in-law...

This story is in today's online Minneapolis Star-Tribune. It's about a dog, not a cat, but I thought it was a really good story. Pet lovers show support for North Mankato dog owner Staff and wire reports A North Mankato family who decided to spend their Christmas money on medical care for...

Hi, all; I'm curious if any of you use Heartguard (or any other heartworm preventative medication) on your indoor cats. And how about flea & tick preventative? I have dogs that spend a good deal of time outdoors in the summer; they have always been on Heartguard, and I always use a...

under the covers or on top of the covers? Since it's been cold, Simba crawls underneath the covers. He was so cute, after I got up he was still tucked in, with just his face peeking out. No digital camera, or I would have taken pictures. (I think I need to not come back until I get some...

I remember a time not that long ago, when 4:30 would be the time I would just be getting to bed, rather than getting up! Simba was just nuts last night. It's been a while since he has kept waking me up all night, but last night he was determined not to let me sleep. Of course he's curled up...

Hi, everyone; The book club selection for December is The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I am wondering if, with the holidays, we should have that book be for December & January combined, then discuss it in Februar instead of January. Do people have enough free time around the...

Today started out great so far - the pets let us sleep until 7 AM!! Today I need to get my house cleaned and decorated for Christmas. The house got pretty neglected for a couple of weeks while I was sick, so it really needs some work. And I have the Christmas tree up, but it's still naked...

Hi, everyone; Since the prayers and good vibes that come from this board are so strong, I thought I would ask for some for my sister-in-law. Her father is losing his fight with cancer. On Friday, his nurse said the family should be called in. He is at home because there is no longer anything...

Unless I missed it, there's no daily thread started yet for today... Well, I started Christmas shopping this morning at 7:30, and have finished with a bunch of it! So far the stores haven't been too crowded, but it's really starting to pick up now. I decided to come home, grab a bit of lunch...
