My husband and I just moved to Newnan back in September and we have a barn cat in our garage right now with a nasty dog bite wound on his paw. We took him to the local vet that the cat's owner wanted us to use and in my opinion they didn't do anything to him. I would have expected the abscess...
Hi guys. My husband and I moved into our new home a little over a month ago now and a stray cat came with it. She is a beautiful calico who we named Splotchy.
Splotchy desperately needs a new home. Our situation is somewhat urgent because of how our 7 indoor cats are responding to her...
Good God Almighty. I had forgotten how horrible UTI's are! I first felt it this evening something felt a little strange, then next time I went to the bathroom ACK! I have been drinking a lot because I know that will help to flush stuff out. I had a diflucan left from when i got ringworm from...
I have been taking Neurontin off and on for pain since my riding accident last January. I can't sleep at night unless I take it right before I go to bed. But when I take it before I go to bed and then I don't go right to sleep, I read or something then after a while I get so wired and I can't...
I buy and sell lots of used horse stuff on eBay. I won two lots from this girl in North Dakota. I should have been leery since she listed the stuff and did not post pictures...She said everything in the lot was "used but still useable". Most of this stuff belongs in the trash can, it is NOT...
Little Cleo has been displaying some odd behavior that started last night. She is sitting on the floor in the bedroom beside my husband's nightstand and is staring at the base of the wall like there is a bug there. I have looked and there is not a bug there! She slept there all night and is...
I am kind of curious, are purebred Siamese cats considered more intelligent than other breeds? I have never had a Siamese, but I think they are beautiful. I have just "heard" from owners and breeders (who are biased of course) that Siamese are above average intelligence when it comes to cats...
We have 7 indoor cats that all get along very well. Tonight Tinkles lost his mind and starting attacking everyone like he was going to kill them. When I went to pull him off whoever he was attacking he totally shredded my arm and I have some very deep bite puncture wounds I have to go to the...
Looking for some thoughts on this matter.
I have noticed a very odd behaviour in one of my cats recently. Carmel is Patches' daughter, and Carmel loves her mommy! Carmel is a few years old now, and I have noticed in the last several months that Patches' whiskers on top of her head look like...
I do Parelli Natural Horsemanship with my gelding Merlin and am having amazing results with the program. Here is a copy of what I posted to the parellinaturally yahoo group I belong to about a lesson I learned from a barn cat this afternoon!
OK, I just learned a good lesson from the resident...
I got an Arco (by Wahl) clipper for Christmas that was supposed to be for my horse, however I have already found it useful for shaving the extra-long butt-hairs of my two boy cats that are long-haired. They have problems with the poop clinging to the hair back there so I figured shaving it...
Hi guys! Well I did a search of the forums and I couldn't find a thread on the question I'm about to ask, so I decided to start one.
You know how cats make that weird clicking sound when they see birds and whatnot? Does anyone know why they do it? Speculate why they do it?
To me it seems...
Well, I like these "getting to know you" threads, so I am starting one of my own. I've only got one question though.
What do you collect?
I collect porcelain and ceramic cat figurines, I even go as far as to enter them in online shows. I used to have a vast Breyer (and other) horse...
Hi guys, question for you. All our cats are neutered, the 3 girls as well as the 4 boys. The kitty in question was neutered at the same time as his brother and sister, after their sister's first heat cycle. Anyhow, Bender wants to do the deed, but he's a little confused at times. He usually...
I've got a kitty that in my opinion has a very odd eating behavior. I have had cats and have seen cats who will use their paws as eating utensils and scoop a kibble or two at a time out of the dry food bowl and either eat it off the floor or use a paw as a fork and actually lift it to their...
Hi guys, I know I've got some funny nicknames for our kittys at times. Like our Grayson is the "Vomit Varmint". And Bender is "Flop-Down Poop-Butt" or "Fender Bender" or "Bender Buttsniffer". Marge is "Marginal" or "Margerine" depending on wether she has peed on the carpet that day or not...
