I had to say goodbye to Molly today.  She was becoming weaker and weaker and
over the last several days was eating less and less.  Today she started
stumbling around and I realized I just can't put her through any more.  I
took her into the my vet and had her put to sleep. She ...

Are there any good dry diet foods out there?  We have 3 cats, two of
which are normal weight, but our cat Simon is quite large.  He's 18
pounds, probably should be about 14 according to the vet.  We had him on
prescription bland diet for a while, then back to Purina One healthy

How does one killfile a poster that seems to have found a way to avoid
it?  I keep trying to killfile Go Daddy and all of its sock puppets
but they keep showing up.

My name is Kathy, I live in Bucks County, PA and just found your
group.  I've been searching for good sites and forums for the last
couple of months because I lost my best friend and companion Kelsie on
Feb 2 due to the horrible and tainted commercial pet food.  Also, just

Hey folks...
The best way we can deal with the trolls in here is to simply ignore them.

We had Lilly spayed when she had her recent Pyometra problems.
Recently however, she sounds as though she is calling. She is showing
every indication is that she is, other than the fact that we don't
have the local un neutered population standing right outside the patio

The vet is going to come to the house and help Peewee cross over.
He's weak, skin and bones, and suffering - it's time.  He still has
some quality of life, will purr when I hold him or scratch his head,
and still likes to go out with the dog, but isn't eating much and is

My not-always-reliable sources tell me that the probable vendor for the bad
pet food wheat gluten is either BinZhou-HongXing Tech or Wudi-ZhongLiang
Development in China. I hope they are wrong.
If either is the case, then the U.S. Food Supply is in question, since they

I have two cats, one male and one female. They had one litter
together, and then I had the female spayed. After that the male
avoided her, and then seemed to turn feral, only showing up now and
then to eat and then go away again. Now he's gone altogether. Was this

A Human shelter burned down last night in Florida, USA.
It is a Tragic story, & I hoped that by posting it, that some of us
might be moved enough to help them in some small way if you can...?
I found it horrifying & such a terrible shame too...

According to this article, Menu Foods now says a "clerical error" was
responsible for the company's failure to be aware that it shipped
potentially contaminated wheat gluten to Canada.  Look at this quote:
"Humans are not perfect. Someone made a mistake," spokesman Sam Bornstein

I first bought Meep a cat tree back in 1999.  She instantly knew it was
hers only, and from then on, she has practically lived on her tree.
We've moved a number of times, and replaced the tree once that I
remember and she's always loved the thing, sleeps on it, etc.  The

Levi has become a complete velcro kitty.  He follows me everywhere.  He
is always running beside, in front of, or behind me when I move through
the house.  He is super jealous when I give attention to the other beasts
and jumps right in for his fair share of my affection, without ...
