Just wondered.
I have occassional small patchy exzema and use pure aloe vera gel from my
local health food store to calm it down. I notice a lot of posts here

This is my first [knowing] post to RPCH+B, so please be gentle.
Situation: Our 3 year old desexed DSH male cat, Spock, wound up having
an emergency trip to the vet a few weeks ago because of a blocked
urethra.  It came on *very* quickly and we were lucky to get him to

A couple of questions about laser pointers.
My Samba loves to chase the red dot on my laser pointer; I typically let her

I live in an apartment and one of my neighbor abandoned a cat when they

apologize, but my cat, Nutterbutter, has undergone a severe personality

Flinx went into the crawl space under my neighbor's house to die.  He

He started crying when I carried him out and didn't stop until he had

Dmitri liked the water; he preferred drinking from the toilet if I left
the lid open and he liked to sit on the edge of the tub when I took a
bath and bump heads.

Hi, I've been lurking for a bit.
I live in South Florida, recently you may have heard about our visit by
Wilma.  In order to help a local shelter during the hurricane, I took
in 3 very young (1 week old) kittens.  This was easy as they were
