When it rains, it pours. We just got Annabelle healthy again and today Leo is all scabby. :( He's scratching that little bald-ish area that sits between his eyes and ears until it bleeds. No fleas, no ear mites, the insides of his ears look normal with no redness or swelling and no funky wax...

Poor Annabelle has bloody pee and is obviously uncomfortable. We have an appointment tomorrow at 4 for a urine culture and I am wondering if anyone knows of some effective ways to help make her more comfortable until then. Warm water bottle to the belly, maybe? That's the only thing I can think...

Hi! We have a foster who has FHS, the poor guy. I guess I should stop referring to him as a foster because he will most likely end up being added to our happy little cat herd here at the house. While doing some online research, I came across a few mentions of the supplement Zylkene to treat...

I'm so excited, I've never posted in this section before because my cats are all mixed breeds. Leo, an abandoned adult we recently took in, intrigues me though. I'm sure he's a mix, too, but the more I look at him, the more I think I'm seeing some interesting traits. So, I am wondering what type...

We ran out of canned cat food last night, so my husband made a late night trip to the store to grab a couple cans and some coffee supplies. The Walmart nearby was set to close 15 minutes after he arrived and they were hurrying him to leave (this particular store is simply awful and the employees...

We recently took in two adult cats who were abandoned at our last rental house. Here's a pic of Leo (orange tabby) and Annabelle from the old house, so you know who I'm talking about: So far, integrating them with our two existing cats has gone very well... except for Pooper. She's our...

We are trying to choose a streaming TV device and cannot decide on what to get, so I'm looking for some opinions. Hulu looks pretty good because it offers a lot of episodes of each available show, but many shows we like are not on their list. We like to watch documentaries and history shows...

I rarely, if ever, do product reviews or that sort of thing, but my new little blender has been making me really happy! My old roommate had a Bullet blender and I used it a lot. When I moved out, I realized I had no way to make my smoothies and milkshakes, so I went blender-hunting. Come to...

And why why, why did they bother to switch the bookmark tabs? My bookmarks were on the right, easy to tap, choose, and slide my finger down to hit enter. Now, the 'I want to bookmark this page' button is in that spot and my bookmarks are all the way on the left. Sigh. I swear they change stuff...

Sony says Jan13, 2017! I'm sure it will be later than that, what with productions issues and such, but Wow! I never thought we would actually get to this point! It will be 'The Gunslinger.' Honestly, that in itself makes me a wee bit nervous. I think after a short bit of background on who...

I just discovered that I have my settings done so every time I post to a thread, I subscribe to it. I have 453 subscriptions! :shocked: Had no idea I posted so much... I would like to delete most of the subscriptions, but the only way I can see to do it is by tapping the x next to each...

We are moving (again), this time to an in-town place. It is a house divided into two apartments and we've got the downstairs one. There is a lovely, small side yard and narrow backyard area that looks perfect for a cat enclosure! I'm thinking the entry point can be from a window, with a ramp...

Hi, we have had a trying few months and I haven't been to the site much. I miss checking in everyday. Things for us humans are starting to look up, so as my luck would have it, we had a bad visit at the vet today for my little guy Sammy. His mouth was acting up again and it was painful enough...

My husband and I have noticed that the cats are shedding heavily again. They usually shed a lot for a week or two in the spring and then go back to normal. They have already gone through that this year, but they seem to be doing it again. My two tabbies, who have especially thick coats, are...

Last night, my husband and I were discussing the possibility of adopting another cat now that we only have four. Five cats seems like the perfect number for us. Of course, we both would love to welcome a new family member, but practicality won out and we decided our finances are a little too...

Bob's urn was delivered by UPS today and it is even more beautiful than I was expecting! I highly recommend ashestoart.com. It is a home business out of Colorado, run by the potter, Mariah Moran. She hand throws Raku style pots and fires everything herself. We wanted something unique for Bob...

Six years ago, my Wheezie was attacked by a dog and her jaw was very badly broken. The vet was very nervous about doing this particular surgery and did not have a positive outlook for her recovery. Her jaw was broken in several places and partially shattered in one area. Thank goodness, the...

I got a packet of ranunculus rhizomes (I think they are rhizomes) at the dollar store the other day. Not the best source for seeds and the like, but they were a dollar. Who can resist? I have seen ranunculus for sale in the nursery but know nothing about doing them from scratch. I know they...

I am stressing out. When we woke up yesterday, Bob's third eyelid was up a little bit, but still white. I flushed her eye with some saline and she seemed fine. I thought maybe she had a little speck in it or had rubbed it too hard. It looked okay and I didn't notice it getting any worse...

I have self diagnosed an overgrowth of Candida in my system. All the pieces fit together too perfectly for this to not be what has been making me feel awful for the past few months. Here is some general info on it : Candida Albicans is a pathogen that takes advantage of a disruption in the...
