Well, this has been as lively as I have seen this place
in a while. Thanks to Usenet Lynnie for the laughs.
Now then, I am going to return to discussing cats. I really like cats, and
they're much more fun to talk about.

We have a 9 month old Siberian Forrest Cat, and have recently noticed small
scabby areas. They seem to clear up, and reappear on different parts of his
body. It does not look like ringworm, in that there is no fur loss,and they
go away in a matter of days. He seems fine, eats, plays ...

He is a pussy.. he isn't superman.

This all could have been avoided and the poor cat wouldn't have had to
suffer such trauma if the owners had taken the simple precaution of
keeping their cat in a carrier.

I let the cats out for a supervised meeting today, and I was a little
confused as to what happened. They have been separated for almost 2
weeks now. I have been switching them around a few times a day, and
letting them see each other for short sessions. They are eating with

service was very lacking. There was one person on the phone at the front
desk at1:10 AM when I had to call because my Bathtub was gurgling and
backing up. The girl Ramoes,was very Rude and ,when I called the ...

My cat Mickey was adopted from the local humane society were he was
diagnosed with cronic URI and the suggestion was made to keep L-lysine
in his daily diet, but everytime he eats it (mixed in wet or dry food)
he ends up throwing it up.  Interferon was also suggested but he has

I feed Mico three types of food:  MaxCat Hairball Management, Science Diet,
and Wellness.  He's fine with the first two, but usually vomits after he
eats the Wellness.  Could it be that Wellness is so pure, that it's forcing
him to bring up toxins?  I'm not sure what to do, and am ...

I stumbled across the below website when trying to help my daughter
find a topic for her social studies project.  I am curious, why have I
not seen any investigative journalism on this or ever even heard of
this before? I buy their food, (until now) did yesterday as a matter of

It's a kind of :0) joke -

I have a lovely grey tabby, Buddha-he is about 12 years old, very
energetic and healthy.
However, after being divorced for 5 years, I have a new partner. He's
not opposed to cats, but they aren't his favorite. And he's sort of a

Hi there..
I'm posting this in the hope that someone can help me and my cat. Fizz, my
cat, started losing fur from her belly a number of months ago it has since
spread to her hind and forelegs. I have been to the vet with her several

I have an old tabby (almost 19) who has had a small growth (pea sized)
under his chin for the past few years.  The vet has seen it, but I
didn't want him to do any surgery on it.  We took a watch and wait
approach.  And, it didnt seem to bug him.

My husband bought me some cute valentine's gifts...including a tiny
stuffed gund kitty kat that meows if you squeeze it. The first time we
squeezed it...Luna stopped dead in her tracks and came right up to the
kitty. Then she proceeded to try and carry the kitty around by the
