Hi everyone, I'm posting on behalf of a friend and felllow former frequent poster on TCS many oldies may recognize, @fhicat, whose cat Fireclaw (Jed's little brother) is currently home after a stay in a specialist ICU and waiting on an appointment with an oncology vet. He has masses and fluid...

Has anyone tried this brand before? I ran into WalMart today to grab some much needed antihistamines and of course found myself perusing the cat food for something new and/or on sale. This wasn't on sale, but I grabbed a box anyway. They're grain-free and are in pate form, but have some shreds...

Hello everyone. Are there any family heirlooms, or just everyday items received from family members you cherish in your homes? If so, what? I got these, along with most of the living room and dining set from my grandma today:

Hello everyone!  If you could choose one image or video to represent how you feel right now, what would it be? I've got this one going for me right now, and hopefully the link works (too big to embed):

Happy Mother's Day everyone! A belated for those who celebrate early in the year, and an early for those who celebrate in the coming weeks! What are some memories you have of your mothers (grand, great grand, etc.) or mother figures in your life?

Happy Sunday everyone.   Do you follow any channels, blogs, etc.? Any specific themes, like cooking, culture, cats, etc? I follow PostSecret (not always safe for work), which is my Sunday thing, as well as a blog run by a lady who does TNR, colony care, and fostering called Cherry Street Cats...

I used to petsit for a friend whose mother thought I was cruel for only giving their 16lb obese (like horribly obese, can't groom herself) cat 1 treat a day split into quarters, and making her run up the hall or down the stairs for each piece. They said they give her a minimum of 5 Temptations a...

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday's question was about chores that you hate doing. For today, do you have any chores that you absolutely NEED to do? Things that nag at you, and you can't relax if they're not done? I cannot go to bed until the sink is empty of dirty dishes. I've even let litter...

Happy Sunday, cat peoples. What are your cats' birthdays and/or gotcha days? We don't know when Mo was born, he was picked up as a stray kitten. His gotcha day (according to the faded old shelter papers) is apparently the same day as my birthday - December 17th, 2004. Kismet was born March 21...

Good morning everyone, and Happy Easter to those celebrating or hiding eggs and candies (or thankful they're past these days). Out of all the programs on your computer, which gets the most use? I recently installed an application called Rescue Time and it tracks the amount of time I spend on...

Happy Sunday everyone! People are steadfastly working to compile all the documentation to fill out their tax forms for next month, but taxes make for a boring question, so let's talk about record keeping to our pets. I think this is especially important for people who have more than one pet to...

Good morning everyone. How would you describe your cats' intelligence? My boyfriend says quite tactfully that "they're not stupid, they just wouldn't do well in school". In cat terms, I think Kismet is relatively smart and quick - not the quickest, and not too smart to not be amused by toys, but...

Hello everyone! I had a triple whammy this week, three different vet appointments on three different days, two of them turning into what I thought were emergencies. One required carrying a heavy Mo by foot and bus (and he puked en route which was super bad since it was a long trip, and he was...

Some of our cats are very outwardly physically affectionate, while others... not so much. But each cat has their subtleties. How do your cats show affection? Mo is very, very outwardly affectionate. He purrs up a storm very loudly, he rubs up against and marks everyone and everything no matter...

Good morning and happy Sunday!  You walk into a museum that has every exhibit imaginable...What's the first exhibit you run to? Dinosaurs! And then anatomy.

They say relationships would be better if we greeted our spouses the same way we greet our pets. And I have to admit, I do greet my pets with more enthusiasm than any other humans. How do your cats greet you when you come home? How do you greet them back? I've noticed I almost always greet...

Good morning everyone! I'm currently still lying in bed since I'm home for the weekend. Better yet, it's my childhood bed and neither that nor my childhood room has changed! What was your childhood bedroom like?

Good morning everyone! I was recently told my height is akin to action figure sized. And so inspires my QOTD. How tall are you? I'm 5'1".

Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone! Quick and easy today: What are your plans for today? If you don't have any specific plans, what's your typical Sunday like? No Superbowl festivities here. I was dumb enough to go grocery shopping yesterday with football fans hosting get togethers though. For me...

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lateness, I went and had a morning out with family.  Other than face to face interaction, what's your primary mode of communication? A lot of younger people now will probably say texting or Facebook (and with other people my age, it is) but I Skype with family and...
