I'm hoping that 5 new kittens is the final count. All healthy, active, noisy
and feeding well.
For some reason, my wife, Heidi, couldn't sleep last night and was up at
3am. I was watching the 24 Hours of LeMans coverage and was still up

I am trying to monitor Farfou's urine pH.
What would be the best method and where can I buy the device/strips or

I found at Petco a mid-range (6.2 -6.8) pH indicator, but it is for

thanks everyone for your help with my Shaina!
she is doing much better now and is all lively and responsive.  her
gums are still pale though.  still, i wonder why she doesn't care for
play.  she chases a string for a little while, or bats it around, but

I realize that this says something about my housekeeping, but I catch her at
this in my office all the time. I recall reading that spiderwebs were used
in healing by Native Americans at some point. I've never had a cat that does
this, anyone else?

We have two female cats, a 1 year old and a 2 year old living in a
townhouse.  Both cats get along with each other fine.  We are getting
a roommate for the summer (3 months) who has a cat.  The new cat is
also female and 4 years old.

We have a fixed male cat who is now a bit over a year old. Very often

vet suggested they be tested for crystals in the urine. It seems they both
have crystals, so the vet prescribed medicated food to help treat the
crystals. I started feeding the food last night, and neither cat ...

As stated in the past, I had great luck with my cat Gnarly who lived to be
20 and had every tooth when she finally died. I never had her teeth cleaned
at all. She never had a day of sickness in her life. No, her breath was not
sweet.

If anyone out there has any words of wisdom or last minute treatment
attempts for a cat with this illness please respond. My cat Putter
probably contacted the disease last year but was not officially
diagnosed until last month after experiencing complications due to

so i had some concerns earlier about my kitten not eating, but she
seems fine now and eats well now, but she is no longer playful.  she's
mostly sleeps and eats.  when i just brought her, she was all about
