Please take your kitten to the vet. You could be running the risk of blindness by waiting in such a young cat.

I too was one of the half a million people at the SARS concert. Don't know how on earth we didn't run into each other. Have to agree - AC/DC showed the Rolling Stones how it was done. Rush (the hometown band) was awesome as well. Geddy Lee is an orchestra all by himself. Yes, to AC/DC. Malcolm...

I'm sorry about your little one. No clue if this will work but I'm wondering if you could fashion some sort of legging or paw cover that is waterproof on one side and soft on the other. Relatively inexpensive and washable. Velcro or snaps on top (i.e. not under the foot pads).  Just a thought.

With the wind chill factored in, we are at the same temperature as the North Pole. I really don't know why I'm still living here.

It was so cold this morning. My feral was waiting on the front porch when I went downstairs to make tea. I opened the front door to let him in for breakfast and a bit of a warm-up. He gave his obligatory I'll-come-in-but-there-are-certain-rules-that-must-be-followed-or-I'm-out-of-here hiss and a...

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll have to wait until at least Tuesday (snow), Wednesday (snow) or Thursday. Depends on how much snow. The vet's office is out of town on the highway and I'd rather stay off highways during snowstorms. There's always one idiot who drives too fast for the...

I find wireless messes everything up. I'd rather go with cords. I understand cords. I don't understand wireless. It has a mind of it's own and constantly changes the settings on everything. So, I battle and I fight and I override, and finally manage to happily set everything up with cords – and...

I don't usually treat cats for fleas in winter. I've never had to. I give a treatment around the end of October / early November, and then start again in the spring. This morning, I noticed Rover Grover doing the going after something movement and went through his fur with a flea comb. Sure...

Wow. Until you get a permanent solution, items on the window sill to discourage sitting in that particular window sill and/or duct tape - lots of it, and then some more. Try jamming strips of wood against the frame that prevent her from pushing against the screen. Neither of you want this to...

-24C with a windchill of -34C (-11F/-29F), and not much better forecast for tomorrow. When I opened the back door of the car earlier this evening to bring the groceries in, the inside of the all the windows in the car immediately frosted over. The bolts on the inside of my front door have frost...

My condolences to you and to your cat family. Relationships like yours and Simon's are rare. The two of you were fortunate to have found each other and you both made the most and best of it.

A hard time for all involved. Sending my best.

Leaving a stone is an ancient Gaelic custom as well. I always leave a tube of bright red lipstick on my mum's grave when I visit (even though I couldn't stand it). She never left the house without a huge smear.

Shovel. Rest. Shovel. Rest. Shovel again after the plough goes by. Shovel again after the sidewalk plough goes by. If it's really deep or cold, I can sometimes get the kid to come over and do it. The drive is short and I park as close to the street as I can in the winter. We use the front door...

Green tea has always been a HUGE migraine trigger for me. Don't knock decaf. After being on this elimination diet for a month so far, I'd kill for a decaf.

I'm not saying that tannins are totally horrible little creatures that should be avoided completely. Some people have no problem with tannins. I've recently had to give up all tannins (basically anything red or dark) because of a very strict migraine trigger elimination diet. Tannins do affect...

I bought a couple of cans. Neither cat would eat it. My neighbourhood feral wasn't all that fond of it either. Not a lot of shelf space given to it in the stores here.

Is he straining? Does the vomiting happen about the same time as the diarrhoea? Sometimes what looks like diarrhoea is actually constipation. The effort produces small amounts of a liquidy stool that looks like diarrhoea. Constipation is a vet situation as soon as you can. If it is in fact...
