    What does this rash look like?

    I don’t want to pass this on to my cats if it’s contagious. I have this rash on virtually every part of my body. It is very itchy.

    Good quality dry food?

    I have been feeding my cats Blue Buffalo Basics duck dry food for the past couple of years, and they do okay on it, especially my IBD kitty. I do worry about what I have heard about grain-free foods, particularly those with potatoes and peas, causing heart problems. I wonder if I should be...

    Help! Is my vet scamming me?

    I was told last week during a routine checkup that my cat had a badly infected tooth and that it might have to be extracted. The vet put him on antibiotics and pain meds for a week, and then I brought him back today for a recheck. The vet said that his tooth looks much better and that his...

    Am I being scammed?

    This is the question I have been asking myself since I went to America’s Best and spent $400 on two pairs of glasses that I’m not sure I really need. I had been having headaches and pressure around my eyes, having eye strain and blurry vision after looking at my phone for a while, etc. I...

    My cats refuse to follow social distancing procedures!

    "Is this six feet away?" No, dude, it's not. It's really not.

    What is this?

    I am asking a question for myself, not my cats. They are thankfully fine for the moment. I have had this black spot under my toenail for quite some time, and I really didn't think too much of it, until I started doing some research on the Internet (bad idea). I found it that it could be...

    Help for a friend!!!!

    Hi! I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but here goes. A friend of mine lost her beloved chihuahua several weeks ago when he disappeared from her yard. It happened within just a few minutes when she let him out to take care of business. Her other dog came back when she called her, but Ringo...

    What is this weird animal roaming the streets?

    I was watching tv and saw a story about how wild animals, such as goats (adorable), monkeys, boars, bears, deer, cougars, etc., are roaming city streets in various countries around the world, due to everyone staying inside their homes. There was one strange looking animal that they only showed...

    I'm A Little Stressed. Please Help!

    I will be possibly going on a mini vacation next week out of state. I will be leaving on Tuesday at about 9:00 in the morning and returning on Thursday at about 7:00 in the evening. I am a bit of a recluse and don't really have any friends or neighbors to check on my cats, and all of my family...

    Do You Think A Major Pet Food Industry Overhaul Will Happen Anytime Soon?

    With all of the stories about grain-free food potentially causing heart disease in dogs and some cats, do you think that the pet food companies will take notice and do something about it, namely remove ingredients like peas and potatoes that could be causing the problems? Maybe they could...

    Do You Ever Keep Quiet When You Feel Like You Should Say Something?

    I was in that kind of situation this morning at the vet's office when I brought my cat in for an appointment. A lady brought her cat in who was a new patient at the clinic. The two of us had a pleasant conversation (mostly talking about each other's cats) while we were in the waiting room. Later...

    My Sarcastic Rant Of The Day!

    We probably all know someone who is looking for a job. I have compiled some tips on how to be supportive and helpful to the job seeker in your life: 1. Make sure to ask the job seeker EVERY TIME you encounter him or her, "So, have you found a job yet?" Consistency is important. 2. If the...

    What Would Your Last Meal On Earth Be?

    I was visiting the dark side of YouTube again, and I came across a video about unusual last meal requests from prisoners on death row. It is unlikely that I will be ever be on death row (unless I end up murdering my idiot brother-in-law :redtongue:), but it got me thinking about what my own last...

    Worried Sick That I May Be Killing My Cats

    It has been all over the news this morning about an FDA warning that links certain "high-end" grain-free dry foods to heart disease in dogs--specifically ones that contain ingredients like potatoes, peas, and lentils. Granted, this warning only applies to dogs as of now, but it does worry me...

    Weird Dream--wonder If It Means Something?

    A couple of nights ago, I had a a rather bizarre dream. I was going to get a new kitten, and my WHOLE family accompanied me to go pick it up. I'm talking my mother, my siblings and their families, and even aunts, uncles and cousins that I hadn't seen in years. In reality, none of these people...

    What's Your Favorite Animal Movie?

    I would have to say Benji is my favorite--the original one made in the seventies. I have never been particularly fond of dogs and much prefer cats, but this movie had a very intense and exciting plot, at least for a kid. I have never really liked cutesy kids movies (even as a little kid) but...

    What Do You Think Of These Names?

    Saylor (or Sailor) and Stryker (or Striker) for a pair of Siamese boy kittens or Scout for a Siamese girl kitten--just curious

    What Do You Think About This Food?

    I usually feed two kinds of dry food--Blue Basics Duck (for my sensitive kitty) and Solid Gold Winged Tiger (contains duck and quail, and some fish, which I'm not excited about). Well, it seems that the Solid Gold is being phased out. My local Petsmart does not sell it at all, and my Petco seems...

    Criminal Minds Discussion Board Anyone?

    I would like to start a discussion board here about Criminal Minds if anyone is interested in joining. I really miss having the IMDb message boards to discuss my favorite shows. There are a few Criminal Minds boards out there, but they don't seem to be very active. So, who's with me? I'll start...

    Weird Problem

    I'm not quite sure what is going on. Yesterday, my cat came up to me and the right side of his neck was very wet. I figured that my other cat must have been grooming him. She does that often. This morning, the right side of his neck was soaked again, but this time I know for sure it was not my...
