Does anyone know where I can purchase fir wood pellets (like those used in
wood-burning stoves)?

I had just gotten out of the shower and heard this weird sound, then
what I thought was a huge "wet" belch. I thought my boyfriend was being
gross, so I said "was that you?" and he said no, it was Ernie, that he
just "puked up a log". I couldn't believe that such a gross, loud ...

Phil,
Just back from the vet and Betsy's biopsy.  When the vet cut through the
layer of fat to biopsy the growth, up popped something that she says was a
ball/bunch/glob of fat. ( not sure exactly which word she used)  She said

I feel like a drug addict.  I want to obtain Zenequin for my 17 year old cat.
He has mild CRF (most recently BUN 45 and creatinine 2.6, usually lower than
that but he was somewhat dehydrated at the time of his last vet visit on 9/18).

Several posters have noted the earlier research that latent
toxoplasmosis infections in human males (between 30%-80% of
population) can lead to an increase in traffic accidents. That study
is a few years old.

Can someone please help.
I have recently got a cat from the cats protection shelter and brought her
home, she is just over 2 years old. The problem I'm getting is that she is
not eating much and she hasn't drank any water since coming into the home.

On Tuesday afternoon my two year old cat was spayed.  I left her in
her carrier per the vet's directions and she flipped violently for
about an hour.  After I couldn't stand it anymore I just held her.  A
few hours later she was fine, playing like normal, eating normally.

Caught my cat peeing in our plastic linen basket this morning. He had done
this once before, which we hadn't seen him doing it at the time, so couldn't
tell him that it was wrong.
But this morning, I actually saw him peeing in the basket, which I shouted

How do you call this low pitched sound, coming from deep inside, cats
sometimes make when under stress.

my wife and I have two indoor only cats (female and male, both fixed,
about 1 1/2 years old, healthy). We are going to have a baby early
next year and some of our friends keep telling us that cats and babies
don't mix. My wife is starting to wonder if we will have to give away

I went to visit Puff yesterday outside the house where he was living.
He came right up to me to be petted. The lady next door has been
feeding Puff and told me that she took him in to her vestibule that
morning (no further because he likely has fleas) to clean up some

Hi all...
It seems now that I need help as much as my kitty boys do. I have called all of the local
shelters in Alberta and no one can or will help me. It appears that there are many, many
men who are beating up on their wives, and the shelters are all full. How sad...  :-(

I know somebody who rescued a feral cat but then decided
that she couldn't adopt him because he's FIV+ and doesn't
get along well with other cats.
If the cat has already been neutered but is not adoptable

we  got this new kitten last weekend., she  turned her nose up at the dry
cat  food and the canned, we tried  those first  because that was  what we
had  handy in the house. Now  we bought her  purina one kitten formula and
she will not  touch that either. she sniffs then walks away ...

We have a 4 year old calico cat. Starting 2 month's ago, she has started
hissing and growling  at her tail. Most of the behavior seems to take place
at night. Sometimes her fits are so bad it sounds like she's in a huge brawl
with many cats but its only directed towards her tail ...
