    How often do you walk him?

    For those of you who take your cats out on a harness, how often do you do it? I am trying to adjust my Sammy to indoor only (for the third time) And have been taking him outside with supervision once in the early evening. He yowls at the door in the morning but I am ignoring it, he is giving up...

    Can I officially know he is well now?

    Ok, yesterday I took his temp with a mercury one, he let me keep it in almost 2 minute and it came out 100.5. I know less than 3 minutes can be off, but not more than a .5 degree right? Today he almost killed me when I tried it again so I gave up. now do you think I need to do it again? He...

    How do cats get sick?

    With my Sammy on the mend from what looks like a flu like thing, how did he get sick? He had a fever and was lethargic etc. I mean with humans we get bugs from each other, did he pick it up for another cat? I am baffled. Humans also get it from stress etc. Is my cat upset about something...

    High Fever/need vibes please!

    I just got back from the vet and Sammy has a high fever. They gave him an antibiotic shot and a half baby aspirin. He didn't limp at the vets (note in another post I spoke mostly of the fact he had been limping) but it might be cause he is on guard there. I am very nervous, if he doesn't...

    Is there cat aspirin?

    I am getting ready to take Sammy to the vet, (as I posted in another post, he is limping and lethargic) Is there such a thing as kitty aspirins they might give me? I sense that mostly he needs some kind of pain killer and anti inflammatory. I dont' think it's broken cause he does put some...

    Slight limp

    I'm taking him to the vet so no need to say that, but I am baffled by this and see if anyone has a thought or two. My kitters Sammy has been limping slightly for two days now. Other than that seems fine. I have inspected his paws and felt all parts of his legs to see if he reacted to any part...

    Unmarked police cars

    I had an interesting experience, and wanted to see what you would do. It turned out ok, but still I can't stop thinking about it... First let me preface with that I have been pulled over a few times by cops, always the same, a marked car and a uniformed cop. He identifies himself, and tells...

    Is it cooling down elsewhere too?

    It's finally better here in SF bay area. I was so drained the last two days. but today is better. You know it's hot when you water plants and 4 hours later they are wilted and dried up.

    what to do.....

    ...when friends start drinking like fishes....? I mean if it's a close friend, I would say something, but this is awkward: I have kept in touch with a friend of my Mom's since she passed. I have really enjoyed it but lately it's all about the booze, for her not for me. I started staying away...

    have you ever turned down a job?

    Hi All As I have whined in here before I am job hunting. Well today I have a second interview and... it's for a job I don't want. I will go and do my best, but if I get an offer...I don't think I want it. This job was a "why not" application, not one I am truly interested in. Anyways, have...

    Fellow west coasters-what is going on?

    I mean with the earth quakes, and then yesterday in the Sf bay area, we had this major rain storm, wind and whipping rain, in June? I know we may be whiney here, but hey,it's really expensive to live here so we have to make up for that with the nice weather in Spring etc, so we feel jipped!

    Do you like your job?

    I am curious how many like their jobs out there. The reason I ask is I have generally always liked mine. As you might note, since I have talked about it here, I am job hunting, however I don't hate my presernt job. It's more logistics and just timing that makes me want to go. I am afraid if...

    He's mad after treatment

    I had to put drops in his ears for mites, I think he feels betrayed. how long will this last? He is hiding from me and only relutantly coming to me. When I pet his head he winces and folds that ear. I hate this, I know all "parents" have to go through this but I hope it passes. do they know...
