Warning: Halloween can be deadly to your cats.............................

I've made no secret that I am a Witch and a Wiccan. In all my years, I have never heard of another Wiccan/Witch making a sacrifice of animals. On the contrary, most Pagans highly revere all life including animals and plants as extentions of the Goddess/God which is why so many of us are involved in... Sign in to see full entry.

Help, my cat is annoying the hell out of me!...............................

About a year or so ago my cat, Daisy, was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is caused by usually benign tumors which grow on the thryroid glands (located in the neck area) thereby making said glands produce to much thryroxin.

I feel so horrible! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MY POOR CAT!

I'm not sure it was me, but I don't know who else it could have been. Last Tuesday, J and I were sitting in the front room when Banichi, our long haired red tabby, got up from where he was sitting and cried out like he was hurt. As he slunk across the living room he was holding his tail down,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Poisoned Cat (UPDATE!) and How Was My Saturday You Ask?................

I went to work yesterday and Precious, who I talked about in my last post, seems to be doing well. She no longer has tremors and we've found she is actually rather difficult to deal with and give pills. Whether she's like this normally or because she doesn't feel good is still in question, but it's... Sign in to see full entry.

The Poisoned Cat...........................................................

On the morning of Tuesday, Septemeber 7th, I went to work to cover for a girl who'd just had surgery. I arrived before anyone else and began my morning duties of cleaning cages, feeding, watering, and talking to the cats. When the doctor arrived about an hour later, she had a cat with her. The poor... Sign in to see full entry.

Feral cat over-population...the humane alternative!

Some towns have taken strict measures to reduce their feral cat populations. This such as banning feeding of feral cats, trapping and killing, etc. These have been found useless and costly. Citing Waukegan as a case study, which has enacted the aforementioned practices, it has been found that for... Sign in to see full entry.

Does your cat scoot?.......................................................

This problem was recently brought up by a loving cat owner so I thought I would share my answer here. The owner found loose stool stuck to the hair around the rectal area and wondered what could cause this behavior in her indoor only cat. My first question is always: "What kind of food are you...

Thrombosis as a result of Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

On Wednesday, June 2nd, I got a frantic call from a lady regarding a cat. The owners were out of town and she was taking care of their multiple pets. Apparently, she had walked into the bathroom to find Einstein, one of the cats, lying on his side panting and crying. Her first thought was the cat... Sign in to see full entry.
