I know that many of us help our local HS and animal shelters, but
sometimes there is one that needs help that its local people can't
provide quickly enough.  Then it's time for all of us to send them
whatever we can -- even a dollar if enough people do it!!  :)

Tortle, my 8 1/2 year old tortoiseshell kitty has been diagnosed with acute
renal failure.  It does not appear to be related to food (she doesn't eat
any of the recalled foods). Her creatinine is over 11 and her BUN is a
little over 100--the phosphorus level is elevated, too--I ...

I just came across this article on Feline Pine's website and am going to
stop flushing my kitty poop, even though I'm nowhere near California.  If
Toxoplasmosis harms Sea Otters, I would guess it's a problem for other
water critters.

My cat Simon started acting weirdly about an hour ago and I don't know
if I'm worrying too much or what.
 Simon was kind of freaking out with some weird meows, but I thought he
saw a squirrel so I didn't think anything about it until he got kind of

Was watching some females ejaculate on video - wow that sh.t is cool!
Those whor ... errr ... ladies are real gushers.  They're like open fire hydrants!
Was wondrin' ..... was Brandy Alexandre ever in any ejaculation videos?
Did she have any ejaculation scenes?

I adopted a cat (my first) that is 33 lbs, and I need help finding a
good food for him.  I got him a mate to get him moving but no success
there.
He gets a 3oz can of wet food, and so does his mate, but I think he

Well, I just got the bad news from the vet. Alex, who is 16 years old, is
just beginning CRF. The vet told me in addition to switching his food to NK,
I should begin weekly subcu fluids. She stated that by so doing, since he is
still in the very early stages of the disease ...

Last Friday, new laws came into force to protect all animals  in the
UK. I am delighted to know that they have come in to force at last
because they were desperately needed. I only wish that they had come
into force a few weeks ago ,because it would have made all the

Words fail me....
Last night I went outside to call Ringo in & when there was no
response, I knew in my gut that there was something Very Wrong Because
Ringo is always here for dinner time....

The best advice is to still stay away from wheat gluten in any pet food.
Three Nutro cat varieties not on recall list found to contain melamine in
private lab test.  What this really means is anyone's guess, as no one is
really sure if melamine is actually doing anything (due to ...

What Pet Foods Have Been Withdrawn from the Market?

Does anyone else find it ironic that with the surplus of wheat in the
US that Canadian and US companies are importing WHEAT from China?
I'm about ready to move to Mars. At least humans haven't destroyed all
that's sacred and healthy there yet.
