Does anyone here make their own cat food? I'm seriously considering giving homemade cat food a shot, but I have a bunch of questions about it: - Is homemade food a healthy option? By which I mean, is it on par with the ultra-premium, natural cat food that can be bought in the store, if done...

I'm a bit concerned - Meeko has been on his new wet food only diet for almost a week now, and he is not eating the recommended amount of food. Previously he was eating dry food, and he always ate the recommended amount. With the wet food, however, he is only eating approx. one 5.5 oz. can each...

One of my kitties, Meeko, has been diagnosed with a problem requiring a special veterinary diet which unfortunately is really expensive - I'm looking to possibly cut costs on the other kitties' diets to accomodate this, but without sacrificing quality - currently they are eating California...

My Meeko was diagnosed with crystals in his urine, resulting in a blockage, earlier this week. The vet feels the crystals were probably the result of diet, so he has switched Meeko's diet to one specifically intended for this problem - unfortunately, though, I am really, really unhappy with the...

I am so upset right now - I just left Meeko at the animal hospital. The past couple of days he has thrown up - he is a nervous cat, and I am moving soon, so I have been packing and moving furniture, etc., so I thought this was just upsetting him and that was why he'd thrown up (in the past...

I haven't shared any pictures in awhile as my laptop died six weeks ago and the one I rented while it was being fixed didn't have the plug-in thingy for my digicam - well, I finally got a brand new laptop for free because Best Buy took too long fixing mine , so I thought I'd share some...

At the kitties' last checkup, the vet recommended that I start brushing their teeth (with special cat toothpaste and toothbrush) every day. I've been doing so for about a week now, and Meeko, Esmeralda and Henry are all taking it fairly well - they don't love it, and we had to struggle a bit at...

I am trying to decide which size of bed to buy for my new apt. - double/full, queen or king - I would like it to last me for around ten years, so I am wanting to make sure I make the right choice to last that long and don't have to re-buy within the next few years (cost is a factor though, as I...

Okay, I need help from you guys, because apparently I suck at making up my own mind. The plan was that I was moving into a new, larger apartment on Sept. 15 (the building is right next door and managed by the same super as my current building). Tonight I got a call from the super, offering me...

If anyone recalls my post from a few weeks ago, I was having trouble with Henry being restless and bored, because my apartment was too small for all four cats. I took everyone's advice and created lots of vertical space for him (bought a new cat tree, made space on my fridge and the shelves of...

A plane has crashed at Pearson International here in Toronto. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...2154&t=TS_Home I have a HUGE fear of flying, personally, so I'm totally freaked out and upset for the poor people on board (they don't know yet how many people were on board or how many...

I'm moving in six weeks (however I am going away for two weeks between then and now, so I actually only have four weeks to pack everything and get everything sorted out), and there are a few pieces of furniture that I wanted to get rid of - my desk, which is too large for my new living room, my...

Does anyone know when Arrested Development premieres this season? Someone told me today that it's premiering in August this year (?!), so I've been trying to find anything on line that backs this up, but can't find anything... anyone know for sure when it premieres? Thanks in advance if anyone...

Anyone know much about painting (the interior of a house, I mean)? I found out today that I got the apartment I looked at earlier this week (yay for more space, my 'bedroom' at my current apartment is literally a glorified closet) - only bad thing is that the entire place is painted beige. I...

So, I'm way excited and had to share with someone - I'm moving to a bigger apartment soon! Not sure if anyone recalls my post in the Behaviour section discussing how we were pretty cramped in my current apartment, which is only 500 sq feet - in addition to that, my upstairs neighbours have...

I just came back from the mall - I went into a couple of stores without incident, and then when I was coming out of the second store I'd been in I set off the beeper thingies at the door that are supposed to go off if anyone steals anything - it happens occasionally, so I thought no big deal...

How much do your cats weigh, and is this a healthy weight, overweight, or underweight?

So, I'm looking for a new doctor, and about a week ago I found a really great website that has a business directory for my neighbourhood - there was a medical clinic listed, so I called and made an appointment. It was for this morning. So this morning I headed over to the address that was listed...

Recently every time Henry urinates in the litterbox, he ends up with urine sprayed/splashed onto himself on the lower part of his stomach - almost as if he is splashing it onto himself somehow. This is really unsanitary, as his lower stomach will literally be soaked, and if I'm not there to...

This is partially just a vent, because I am really kind of crushed right now, so I apologise for that, but I also want to get opinions/adive if possible, so it's not totally just a bunch of whining, if that makes it any better. I'm going into my third year of a B.A. Hons. degree in...
