on care, grooming, indoors vs outdoors, etc., as well as caveats. The
no.2 on my list is a Bengal, and so I would especially appreciate

I keep thinking about this cat I met Saturday.  I really hope she gets
adopted before I come back from my trip, because I'm not sure I can
resist.  
I made the mistake of going to PetsMart on adoption day.  :::sigh:::  

I get nervous when I don't hear anything.  I'm hoping no news is good news.

Making trip  to Petco and buying science diet for my 2 older cats.
Plan on getting bags of the hairball control and orginal formula.

garden we rarely goto and there was 5 or 6 packages of poo ...

I want to thank everyone for their best wishes regarding my cat.  His blood
work came back with normal readings, and he is being treated for an

Looking for some advice. I just bought chemical strips to monitor my cat's urine at home. He is very prone to urinary blockage and I'm desperately trying to catch problems before they start. I just tested his urine and it is very alkaline (around 8). There are also leukocytes ...

Labor day weekend, we took in Eddy, a small kitten that was dumped in
the country. He's been the sweetest kitten, deciding for himself that
he is my infant daughter's pet. He's been neutered, wearing soft claws,
and now about 8 months old.

Why was Mingy not put on the s/d diet first?  (And, of course,
Mingy has to eat in order for it to do any good.)
Since the diagnosis of struvite crystals came immediately, does

just recently confirmed that my 19 year old cat is deaf and blind.
clearly, she doesn't hear me when i clap my hands over her head (not
*that* close) and her pupils are fixed and hugely dilated.  
she's eating and using the box as usual, but i feel terrible for her.

I haven't been posting, or reading much, and am dreadfully behind. I'm not even
going to try to catch up, so appropriate purrs to everyone.
