smithse,
I am wondering is this article you suggested for people or are you suggesting it for cats?
Thanks, not thinking too clear I guess.
I am so happy to hear about elizabeth. There is no doubt she feels secure with you and animals just know when a person is good and when that person loves them, they have better instincts than people do. You mean the world to elsa now and it will onl…
Andrea how is elizabeth doing? You could ask your vet about the bloodwork but I would think they would have suggested it if needed. Is she eating? Please write, you have me worried when I don' hear from you. I know I am a worry wart too. You are bot…
I am well aware of the fatty liver disease, acidic lipidosis, but one day is OK, DON'T worry about that, she's young and that is a huge help to success. I have an 11 year old kitty who had a heart murmur since birth, she is doing fine, never been to…
Are you talking about giving the kitty the antihistimine appetite stimulant? I wouldn't. If she doesn't eat for one day don't panic. Then if she doesn't eat the next day hand feed her a runny food. Mix a good canned food with bottled water and use a…
Kudos to you Joe for stopping the tea tree oil.
Your comment on flea products is right on. They are toxic to cats, some much, much worse than others. No the companies aren't going to tell you that, they make millions selling their products. You are…
Andrea, I try to use homeopathic measures with my cats as much as possible. I don't know if you are up to this right now. I didn't get an email from you, wish you would send one.
1. Steroids should never be used on cats, it kills them. It destroys…
Dixie not all cats have the hair you are speaking of. I currently take care of 8 none of which have ever had sore paw pads or litter in between their digits and I handle their feet a lot as I gently massage them as often as I can. Good for circulati…
Many people have trouble with the covered boxes because they trap the smell inside and cats don't like using them. You could try a big piece of indoor/outdoor carpeting. It catches a lot of the stuff that is in there paws when they jump out. I don't…
Tea Tree oil (melaleuca, Melaleuca alternifolia) is a phenol-containing essential oil. Its active ingredients are cyclic terpenes which have a similar structure and action to turpentine (a known toxin) - in fact Tea Trea oil makes a good paint solve…
As Tracy said DON'T USE TEA TREE OIL or an essential oil on a cat. Their system can' process it and it is toxic to cats. It is also a cummulative thing, it will build up the more you use. It sounds like a food problem, the food you're using is very…
Hope you had a great Birthday. Doesn't sound like a bad way to celebrate a birthday to me.
So you are saying there is only one litter box for 5 cats. That is no good. They need more. They can get the cheapest ones without a cover, as many cats don't like the cover and IMO the cover keeps the smells concentrated in the box so the cats don'…
Hi Andrea,
Several years ago I had a lot of strays in my area, many having litters just befoe the cold weather. I bought an Iglooo Dog house on sale and put it on the picnic table in the yard. We get very cold weather in IL and some of the cats did…

bams481 said… - awe, Im sorry to hear about your pain. Mine is caused by two back surgeries (herniation and then a re-occurrence) and now I have permanent and sever nerve damage and I believe that I re-herniated again after I fell in the shower. I am going to Jewitt Orthopedic in Orlando...it's where the Orlando Magic is treated, so they are the best. I have had a recent MRI and this coming Wed. will be having an EMG (Nerve conduction study) where they find the damaged nerves and see if they can do anything about it. I'm hoping for the best...since nerves can regenerate themselves and possibly be fixed by surgery, I am hoping to be fixed and go back to my life. How about you...if you don't mind sharing. Why do you have the pain you have?

- Hi Calico51, It is so good to hear from you again, I guess all we America's are all mixed in one way or another. I have no baby now but I have 3 Dr. appts within the next two weeks and I also hope for the best. My husband was out of work for almost a year and hard times feel on us for that period in time, so just getting the bills paid and keeping our home was a master task. I would not have wanted to have my little Darling too be deprived of one thing. Now the LORD has smiled upon us and after my visits with my Dr's nothing can stop me from attaining my baby and spoiling him too death. When a good parent has a brand new baby that depends on her for his every need she does not leave him alone until she is sure he is comfortable with his family, his home and is assured mommy will never leave him alone for long periods of time and have him guessing, " Will my mommy come back, did she forget about me"? To Love is one thing but to be Loved back is the GREATEST GIFT WE WILL EVER RECIEVE. I just looked over at my CUDDLES picture and it looks like even he is happy for me.Please explain the GIFT concept too me becuse I would want my friend to know my heart and the great value I put on our FRIENDSHIP. Love You Much !

- calio 51, I received your message, I hope I am finely doing this right. You know we have a lot in common, for I too I'm disabled. I also have a new problem with my right leg, only God only knows what has happened too it but if things should go wrong for me (for I am a Diabetic with 3 small holes found in the back of it, I am seeing several DR's to try to figure it out). If I should by chance lose the leg, All I want is a baby that looks like Minnie with blue eyes. If God sees fit too let me have one my life would be complete-with a little boy cat that looks her ( I think I was a cat in my former life) and my other best bud my husband. I would be the happiest one leg person in the World. I think this would help me treasure my little CUDDLES picture but not so sad as I have been. CaTs have always been the LOVE-OF-MY-LIFE, I never miss one day watching THE BIG CAT DIARY. Friday the little lion cub, SOLO, got separated form his MOM, there I was all in tears but just as it ended she found him (it was as if my heart was lifted too new heights), ain't I crazy-that's what you call LOVING CATS.
You are turning out to be one of my most Endearing FRIENDS and what a
beautiful girl you are. I don't mean too pry too much but are you INDIAN
DESCENT ( my GREATGRANDMOTHER was part cherokee) and I also have some wonderful FIRST AMERICAN friends that I donate too so they may become NURSES. Thank You My Wonderful Friend I Look Forward too hearing from you very soon. LOVE YOU LOIS.

- calio51, As usual I sent you a reply but I don't know where it went, when I reply to myfriends and you certainly or one of mine with the Beloved

- I send messages but I never know where they go, I guess I am sort of computer stupid. Anyway Calio 51 is one of the furriest,beautiful kittens I have ever seen, if he had blue,blue eyes and a little more silver gray in his lovely little coat he would look like CUDDLES. I never got to meet CUDDLES personally but I keep his picture next to my desk. Your little Angel may help me ease some of the pain I feel in my heart for this little baby, I hope never to read another story as the one about CUDDLES. There I go, tears streaming but your little baby will help with the pain of the little baby I could not save.

Hi Micheal! That is a lovely picture on your avatar!!
Hi Tara! I'm doing the same with limiting the carrots and apples - in fact I've totally cut them out for the moment as my rabbit is on a diet. It's not doing much good as she's still a bit podgy! Ha ha! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets…
