I've always wondered about this, but the rash of negative postings over the
last day or two (the Clay Aiken quote, the Portland trapper, et cetera) has
prodded me into posting.  Why is it, or what is it about them, that elicits
such strongly negative reactions from those that don't ...

We just got a new kitten today about 8 weeks old.  She was raised outside in
a barn and has not had any medical attention.  She had been eating kitten
chow and the occasional mouse for 2 weeks prior to moving in with us.  Today
she has been drinking milk and eating dried kitten chow ...

The guy who is behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog says that he was
duped by PETA.  
Now Triumph sides with Clay and thinks PETA went too far.

For the first time - my cat hissed at me! Twice - about an hour between each
other. Thats because she has something stuck on her fur under her front leg and
I want it out - just in case its sharp and its hurting her so I fiddled with
the just to check it out but when I actually ...

I have two 1-1/2 year old indoor male altered cats, Mazik and Nudnik.
Six months ago I sold my 2 br condo and moved into a 1 br apartment.
We are allowed one animal. I still have my two.
But Mazik is going crazy here. He is climbing the walls, literally. He

he reopens it....keeps washing it.
it's not a bad cut...slight one on the neck.
anyone ever put a bandaid on a cat's paw to keep from that?

Okay, in the saga of my old kitties...
As many of you know, I lost Alex to lymphoma in August after a two-
year, mostly successful battle. Well, Jacob, who is my oldest cat
(15.5), was diagnosed with CRF right around the time that Alex was

...and also the Clavamox pill I had given him about 15
minutes before.  My 19 yr. old Foxy is being treated for a
persistant upper respiratory infection, and I don't want to
screw up his medication.  So my question is:  do I give him

My cat Casper had her teeth cleaned a few weeks ago
and the vet told me that she had a high level of red
blood cell in her urine.
After 1 week of Clavamox the level was still high

Subject: New Onset Spraying in 13 yr old neutered Himalayan male
For the last 6 months, a female cat and her two kittens have taken
over our yard (and we've been feeding them but mostly keeping them out
of the house.)  Mr. Redford our 13 year old cream point Himalayan and

I can get it locally for only US$1.00 per 15 ounce (425g) can. It has a
light tomtato gravy, but no vegetable oil. Like canned salmon, it includes
bones that are somehow softened by the heating-canning process. Contains
lots of protein, calcium, and fish oil. Comes from Chile.

Our cats love eating baked potatos.
Is it OK for their health?

My b/f went to the opthamalagist (sp?) today to check on Benny's
cloudy eye. We had noticed it had definately got cloudier in the last
few days. After a number of tests, dilating the pupils, etc we learned
that he has a cataract in his left eye, most likely a genetic flaw

All of his test results came back great! He still has a bit of a fever,
but is responding well to antibiotics, so they sent him home with some
clavomox. He's much more talkative, purrs, and is still eating and
drinking well. He's a bit anemic, but we've been battling fleas here
