    Meows when I’m gone

    Surely he hears you coming up the stairs, they can hear much more and better than we can. The cat in my avatar could hear me coming from far, both when I was driving and when I was walking, and would jump in the window to greet me. In doubt, can you leave a voice recorder in the apartment when...

    Do not stand at my grave and weep

    Anyway, the authorship of the poem is subject of dispute, and it seems that Mary Elizabeth Frye wasn't the real author.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep

    This is the most touching poem that I had read ever. There was a time when I knew it by heart, and I would say it in my mind a couple of times a day. The very first time I read it was in a graveyard in Killorglin, county Kerry, Ireland, during one of my several trips to the Emerald Isle. I...

    Rescuers Kitten

    I don't how the weather in your area is like. But if it's cold, and the kitten has stayed out in the cold, give him a warm spot, or put him under a blanket with warmth source, like a bottle with warm water in.

    Expected and not ...

    I'm so sorry for your beautiful Autumn, such a beautiful name too. I hope she didn't suffer much and that her passing was easy. She won't forget you, the love that you gave her, the good times you had together. Now she's with Domino again, away from your eyes, but not from your heart, and surely...

    Missing the Vincie Girl

    You must be so proud of your Vincie girl, she was a character and a strong figure in your neighborhood. I'm sure that most people around you will remember her, even the pit bull she used to chase off. She will be on her soft cloud telling others of her great adventures, and they will all listen...

    This time it happened to me - Missing cat

    Yesterday was 50 days since my yard cat went missing. No trace of her anywhere. No rescue or shelter has received her. Clinics and practices here around didn't see her. My neighbors didn't see her. I haven't found her, or any hints of her. Though I still hope she's alive somewhere, I am starting...

    Lost?

    You say you met in a parking lot. Is there any chance you saw what car they were driving, their registration?

    How to tell if non-clumping litter has been used?

    If any cat steps on the litter it should leave at least one footprint on it, and you should see it. Also, most litters track, so if a cat has walked on the litter, you should see some of it right outside the tray.

    Pyoderma, again

    My cat with Pyoderma was seen by a vet Friday morning (Thursday was a national holiday here, so I had to wait) and the vet told me to do nothing but keep the area clean and sanitized with chlorhexidine and said that I could apply a cream to help skin to regenerate, any OTC cream that any...

    My little Pumpkin died today

    I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Pumpkin, but you know you did what was best for him. You showed you your love till the end, by standing next to him, speaking sweet words to him, holding his paw till the last second and beyond. He went to the bridge with these three gifts and this...

    Calorie... Wet food

    The rule I knew was RER = 70 + (30 * kg) kcal where a 4 kg cat has to eat at least 190 kcal a day (RER stands for Resting Energy Requirement). My cat had an oral carcinoma too, and I was never able to have her eat the minimum requirement. I was syringe feeding her.

    Pyoderma, again

    Yes, I edited my post, thank you. I don't know what happened, I never used that link and I struggled at editing the thread. No way I could insert the right URL, it kept using the wrong one. I had to edit it at least a dozen times. Thanks.
